History:
After the Fallout of Yellowstone, Cascadia was formed along the western coast to unify the surrounding areas and bring about positive relations with their neighbors. Their proximity to the Yellowstone Exclusion Zones made ease of access to the newly discovered cordium deposits, boosting their wealth and growth rapidly. They made friendly relations with the neighboring country, Britannia, offering the cordium in exchange for funds and manpower to further grow their infrastructure and society.
Cascadia boasted a powerful air force, backed by the manufacturing giants Lockweed Mardin, Northrock Grunnan, and Gründer Industries. Along with infrastructure, a large portion of Cascadia's budget went into military research and development, seeking to build a strong military to defend itself against the still unknown threats of this world.
The true threats however, would come from beyond this world, as the First BETA hive crashed into Vancouver, and brought a rude awakening to Cascadia. Proliferating beyond numbers uncountable, the BETA took the northern territory by storm, seemingly aiming to reach the Yellowstone Exclusion Zone, but paying mind to slaughter all humans along their way. Initially they were able to be dealt with by Cascadia's military, with the introduction of the Laser-Class BETA, aerial forces were rendered useless, and thus Cascadia sought to develop new weapons to deal with this threat.
The Tactical Surface Fighter program was what was born of their ideas, highly maneuverable mecha capable of taking on the BETA head on. While they were able to stand their ground somewhat, the sheer numbers of the BETA proved to be far too immense for Cascadia alone. The invaders had pushed deep into Cascadia's territory, even laying assault to the Capital City, Presidia; later turning it into a Hive.
Twenty years ago, what would become to be known as the Solistitium Incident, occurred in the major city of Solistitium. A massive force of BETA was approaching the city, beginning an invasion of one of the cities closest to the Yellowstone Exclusion Zone. At some point during this assault, a shipment of Cordium detonated, causing the cordium deposits to set off a chain reaction of explosions that left the city devastated, killing thousands, both BETA and humans. While the assault was put to an end, the city half sunk into magma from the earth's mantle. Perhaps both a blessing and a curse later down the line, it showed off the potential capability for cordium to be weaponized, though Cascadia sought to keep the production and export of cordium in the proper hands, put to good use.
With the aid of Britannia, in one of the first successful retaliations against the BETA, Operation Scarface took place, with the goal of recapturing San Diego, and eliminating the hive present there. After a grueling battle of both land, sea, and air forces, humanity had made its first victory against the BETA, And the momentum only carried them from then on.
Though over the thirty years, Cascadia has lost roughly 50% of its territory to the BETA, and more than half of its population; this nation and its people are is an enduring and vigilant, and won't give into the alien threat, even to the last citizen.

Notable People:
Age: 39
Occupation: 36th President of United Cascadia
Biography:
Former Vice President of Cascadia, Keith was vaulted into the role of President after the death of the previous president who had died in a surprise attack by BETA on a Cascadian military base he was visiting. It was perhaps a strange omen to him, becoming the 36th President at the age of 36, he took it as a 'lucky' event that gave him the motivation to become a great leader for the people. Despite only having been in office for one year, he was reelected by a landslide vote; his resolute attitude towards the BETA, while still remaining a kind man who does his best to lend a hand to those in need, making him an obviously popular figure amongst the people.
That said, he is no superhuman, and behind closed doors, he likely is stressed far beyond anyone else within Cascadia, the duty of keeping on a strong face for the populace while dealing with the seemingly endless fight against the BETA, the proper management of Cordium, among other internal issues, there far more on his plate than he's comfortable dealing with.
Nonetheless, he's committed to his duty until he is able to no more.
Age: 43
Occupation: Current President and CEO of Gründer Industries
Biography:
Adolf was raised within the Grunder circle of family acquaintances, and from a young age was groomed to one day take over the business. As such, there are few who are as savvy in the world of political and business intrigue as he, learning how to make connections work for you and take advantage of those who are useful to you. Despite this cold-blooded approach to business, he is a charismatic and charming man, having seduced his way into the hearts and minds of politicians, businessmen, and women alike.
Adopting the somewhat radical mindset from his father and grandfather, he seeks the radical and rapid advancement and expansion of technology, if but at the cost of his humanity, believing that no price is too great for a new scientific or technological discovery. And if some lives must be sacrificed for the eradication of BETA, then such a decision will be made.
