Background
The nation now known as the Californian Sovereign Democratic-Socialist Federation was officially founded on November 19, 1999 by the Democratic-Socialist Party of California after several disputes with the state of California and the United States government lead to the Democratic-Socialist Party's falling out with the Republican dominated government on political ideals and the future of California ultimately causing California to declare its independence from the United States creating the Democratic People's Republic of California in December of 1999 the five states of Alaska, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii seceded and joined the Californian Union. In the months before the U.S. Presidential Elections in 2000 the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho and Colorado joined California's union to make a total of ten states.
After setting up the Parliament, three prominent parties (Democratic-Socialist, Federative, and Republican) rose to fill the seats of the Parliament, and after elections took place the Democratic-Socialist Party of California took an astounding 337 seats becoming the main influence of Californian politics.
Afterwards the United States sent diplomats into California which by the year 2009 the Californian Union was composed of California, Alaska, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming and a treaty was established declaring California a nation seperate from that of the United States. Shortly after the Los Angeles-St. Louis Treaty was signed President Gill M. Freidman left office and was replaced by the new elected president Jared W. Benson, who supported the United States's opinion of keeping peace with the Rep. of California and opening diplomatic relations. During this time the relations betwen California and the rest of the world grew and nations began forming trade coalitions and the such with California. President Benson served two terms as U.S. President and was replaced by the next elected president former Mississippi Senator David G. Maddox.
Shortly after his inauguration, U.S. Pres. Maddox amended the twenty-second amendment of the United States Constitution with the fifty-first stating "As long as the popular vote is in favor of the elected president, s/he may remain in power until the popular vote is swayed to another presidential candidate." Later, in the middle of what would have been the second year of Maddox's term on March 15, 2010, Pres. Maddox disbanded the Congress of the United States and declared himself Lord David G. Maddox of the United States, and the United States spiraled into a dictatorship. This brazen act by the U.S. President forced several U.S. States to secede and to join the Republic of California.
Five months later on August 1, 2011 former Californian Senator Sandra M. Devnostræva was elected President, a day later Lord Maddox declared war on the Democratic People's Republic of California to try and force the nation back into the United States of America and the Second Civil War began. On August 18, 2011 after marshalling an army totalling 2,540,000 California declared war on the United States dividing the army into the Northern, Central and Southern Divisions, the Northern and Southern Divisions fanning out north to the Ohio River and south to the Gulf Coast while the Central Division spearheaded to Washington D.C.
After the Central Division surrounded Washington DC and gave the ultimatum for surrender, Lord Maddox refused the terms and on July 3, 2021 the Sovereign Californian Armed Forces struck Washington D.C. with an Electro-Magnetic Diffusion warhead. A day later Californian forces crossed the Potomac River into Washington DC, to accept Lord Maddox's surrender, a meeting was held in Arlington, Virginia with the Presidents of the Federated Republic of New York and Jersey, the Federated States of Sovereign California and the Elentári of the Eternal Noldorin Empire of Menelmacar to determine the future of the United States of America. After much deliberation the Devnostræva-Fëanor Accord was signed giving the Sovereign Federation of California (FSSC) everything west of the Devnostræva-Fëanor Line giving the Democratic People's Republic of California the states of West Montana, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana and the Canadian and Mexican Provinces captured by Californian forces during the Second Civil War. The Fed. Rep of New York and Jersey (NYNJ) acquired the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachussetts and the remaining states were organized into the Federated Menelmacari States of America (FMSA) which were occupied and administered by the Eternal Noldorin Empire of Menelmacar on July 9, 2021.
Since then the following territories have been added as states to the Californian Union: Alberta, Bahamas, Baja California, Bermuda, British Columbia, Espaniola (Hispaniola), Jamaica, San Mateo, Sinaloa, Sonora, Virgin Islands and Yukon Territory bringing the total of states within the Californian Union to thirty.
Also three dependencies have been incorporated as parts of the Californian Union: Persia (Iran), Oman, and Yemen.
