### Season

Season 1

The Midwest Republic, also called the Great Plains Republic, was a nation in North America from season 1 that lasted from September 18th, 2021 to November 26th, 2021. It's capital was Des Monies. The Midwest Republic was said to be a Democracy, although in practice, it was a Despotic State (Although there was an election in October though, which could make the Midwest Republic be classified as a Direct Democracy). The Midwest Republic was made up of states, which each state had some authority on how the country was to be run. It was a member of the Association of the Americas.

## History

### Formation of the Midwest Republic

The Origins of the Midwest Republic were the nations of Iowa and Nebraska. I\_like\_OnionSoup would be the leader of Iowa, while the leader of Nebraska was Starbucksiswrong. They would agree to combine to the nation of Iowa-Nebraska on September 9th, 2021. Soon after, the town of Trenabor, lead by Sup\_Bar21, would join this nation, forming the Great Plains Republic, later to be known as the Midwest Republic.

### Fall of the AUS

Just across the Mississippi, there was a country called the American Union State, that originated in the South. It had experienced a period of rapid expansion, getting many of the towns of the Great Lakes to join it, only for them to leave around September 25th to the 30th. Theses towns would decide to join the Great Plains Republic. Most of theses towns would join to avoid the British, as they were sieging former AUS towns at the time. This would make the Great Plains Republic, now called the Midwest Republic, a powerful nation in terms of population and industry, but like the AUS, this would not last forever.

### Rise of Paradise

Most of the towns that joined the Midwest would only be there for not long, as on October 8th, 2021, the Empire of Paradise would declare it's independence from the Midwest Republic. This would start a decline in the Midwest, as a large part of it's population and industry would leave the nation. Only one new town, Illinois, would stay in the nation.

### War with Baja

While the Midwest was recovering from Paradise leaving the nation, a new empire, coming from the Baja Peninsula, would siege the towns of Bellevue-Omaha and Des Monies, the Capital of the Midwest. The first forces to oppose this were players from Illinois, although theses were defeated easily. A task force of nations from North America would form to fight Baja. While more successful than the players from Illinois, they would start to lose focus as the day went on, and so, Baja would start to gain the upper edge. Eventually, a peace deal would be reached, with the Midwest paying money to Baja, and Des Monies and Bellevue-Omaha being occupation.

### Unification of North America

After the War with Baja, the Midwest Republic was exhausted. Within less than 2 weeks, the Midwest was nearly killed. Many of the players would play less and less, leaving only a couple of active players playing. Also after the war, many of the nations of North America were planning on making a Greater American Nation. The Midwest Republic would join this, although this would take quite awhile. Finally on November 26th, 2021, the Midwest would finally join the American Republic, ending the Midwest experiment.
