## Beginnings

Before 7.0 began, the concept of an American federation took root. The idea was to create a unified federation of different countries in the Americas. Whirlas was the president of the federation with RealMichael as vice president and Delta as prime minister along with 35-40 members in. The member states were USA, CSA, Midwest union, Pacifica, Texas, and finally Cascadia. Cascadia was supposed to be in the Pacific Northwest with Euro chosing himself as the leader.

When 7.0 was released, Cascadia along with the other member states successfully clamed their appropriate territory. It appeared that the American Federation would be the most powerful political entity in 7.0. However, Whirlas was getting bored of recreating the united states after multiple resets and decided to abruptly quit. The federation then collapsed despite attempts by Delta to reinstate it. With no binding agreement to a higher power, Cascadia was an independant nation and charted its own destiny.

## Early days

Upon the release of 7.0, members of Cascadia began to work on the technology and cities of the country. Euro flattened the Olympic peninsula to start working on Seattle while F\_ckyoududes, Patiowax, and Sinister began working on slimefun and basebuilding. The experience and expertise of Cascadia's members gave them a noticeble technological advantage over other nations and within a few days, an autoduster was already built. Meanwhile, many other fomer AF nations fell apart or become technologically obselete due to inactivity and other factors. Cascadia was already considered a great power within a few weeks.

While Cascadia did have a peaceful start, there were a few notable moments. One incident was early in 7.0 when Euro made an insult towards the pvpers Adderral and Masouri who declared war on Cascadia. The was was declared invald as Adderral had declared war without justifying his cb to staff. Later, RealMichael decided to join Cascadia and as a joke, he and Euro made Cascadia into The Union of Cascadian Socialist Republics, a communist country. This was changed a few weeks later.

## Influence of Zouism

Zoupow and Awestar had already made a name for themselves through their warmongering and pvp skills. After laying waste to a bunch of other nations and accumulating a massive fortune, they decided to join Cascadia. At first, they did not do too much but then they started to advocate war against other nations. They were opposed by the anti-war faction comprised of Sinister, Patiowax, and F\_ck who were more interested in slimefun and building than war. Euro took a more neutral side which prompted Zoupow and Awestar to leave. They would eventually form Koworea and begin their true reign of terror. However, towards the end of 7.0, Zoupow fearing he would get banned, gave Sinister his entire fortune of 10 mil making Sinister the richest person on the server with over 15 mil.

## Building a nation

Being comprised of mostly experienced and active players, Cascadia was far more advanced than most nations in technology. To store the loot, materials, and slimefun, a massive base was constructed under Seattle by F\_ck and was the central hub for everything. Patiowax, being a slimefun genius, began working on money-making slimefun machines. He and Sinister created a sifted ore generator which automatically turns gravel into sifted ore since sifted ore went for $1280 a stack. Euro built a huge sugarcane farm in British Columbia that easily produced a lot of sugarcane. These machines began to make a massive profit making Cascadia the richest nation on the server. All the members were on the baltop and their combined wealth was 1/3 of the entire server.

Sinister and Euro began working on Seattle, which was considered to be the spiritual heart of the nation. Euro completely cleared and flattened the olympic peninsula to start work on Seattle. The first building was the Seattle space needle. Work on Seattle would sometimes be slow due to the massive size of the slyscrapers. There were many empty lots with large buildings mixed between. By the end of 7.0, a few scrapers had been built along with bridges, a port, and a highway.

## The End

7.0 could not be considered to be the most interesting of resets. Except for Koworea, there were not many wars. There was little player intrigue and soon inactivity started to become common. Cascadia was the exception. The zeal of the members created the largest economy on the server and colenian history as a whole. Seattle was one of the largest cities of 7.0 as well. Eventually 7.0 ended leaving behind a legacy among its members.
