The City of Cascadia, also occasionally referred to as Cascadia Prime, is a large, expansive metropolis, under the leadership of both the mayor, Mike Torres, and the State President.

As for public services and utilities, Cascadia operates its own 'City Service Department' for general functions, while relying on the Cascadia Police Department, State Police, and Metro Transit Authority for law enforcement, and the Fire Department of the City of Cascadia for medical and firefighting personnel.

population. Cascadian, Meixiu, and Yukinese are culturally prominent in the city, with their languages often seen in a variety of consumer products

and official/state-supplied information.

The state is known for its agricultural capabilities, and its weather oddities, being the common meeting ground for warm winds from the south and cold drafts from the north. Notable cities of Jackson are Noore, McClain, and Jackson City. Residents of Jackson are delivered information and news through the more local KREN stations. The primary law enforcement found in Jackson is the Jackson Highway Patrol with a variety of local agencies and offices. The political capital of Jackson is Jackson City.
