GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE
(https://www.hellobc.com/getmedia/f043d187-8c62-475c-8eab-136067f0fea3/1-2577-Clayoquot-Tofino.jpg.aspx)
Cascadia is revered as one of the, if not the most, naturally stunning places on Mundus. The urban metropolis of Harbordale is still within visual range of rolling hills and stunning mountains, reminding those even visiting on business of the beauty of the nation. The nations remarkably small population and population density ferment this; major cities are typically separated by hours of wilderness, connected by a interstate highway system which typically winds its way around mountains and through hills. The Geography of Cascadia only serves to serve the nations fiercely independent ideology, a society of settlers and rough riders fermented through the 18th, 19th, 20th, and now into the 21st century.
The Cascadian climate is a moist one; the 'wettest' nation on Mundus by annual rain fall; It is either raining or cloudy in most given parts of the country 221 days out of the year, with a average yearly rain/snowfall of 37 inches, quadruple that the average nation on Mundus. However, the abnormal rain fall perplexed by the mountainous and hilly terrain serves to support the sprawling natural ecosystem of the nation, with seeing the "Cascadian mountain range after a rain shower" among the top of many 'bucket lists' of Mundus citizens. The nation supports three hundred miles of coastline, much of which is used several months of the year for recreational activities.
BALLAD OF THE GREEN BERETS
Fighting soldiers from the sky
Fearless men who jump and die
Men who mean just what they say
The brave men of the Green Beret
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, Cascadia's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Trained to live off nature's land
Trained in combat, hand-to-hand
Men who fight by night and day
Courage peak from the Green Berets
Silver wings upon their chest
These are men, Cascadia's best
One hundred men will test today
But only three win the Green Beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her Green Beret has met his fate
He has died for those oppressed
Leaving her his last request
Put silver wings on my son's chest
Make him one of Cascadia's best
He'll be a man they'll test one day
Have him win the Green Beret.

Major Cities - Harbordale
The largest city at 600,000 and also the capitol is Harbordale, which resides on the Victoria coastline. The city majorly resides on a peninsula; jotting out into the Bay of Liberty with bridges connecting it to the mainland as well as the peninsula itself. The city is home to several miles of beaches, a bustling commercial center, Cascadia's national government and Victoria's state government.
Government
The city is overseen by a Council, with no overseeing 'mayor' - This is not a coincidence, with Harbordale's position as home to the national government and Victoria's state government, the city charter is intentionally ran by a council of five members (each elected from a district) to avoid having a single executive figure in a city with a governor and the nation's Premier.
Emergency Services
Harbordale as the largest city respectly carries the nation's largest municipal police force at 3,400. Emergency Medical Services are handled by the Harbordale Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, which handles all emergency medical services and heavy rescue. Fire suppression is handled by the Harbordale Fire Department. Several detachments of Cascadian Mounted Police are present, with the primary duties of protecting national government locations as well as the Premier.

Premier's Residence
The Premier's Residence is perhaps world renowned as among the most 'average' Executive Mansions - if it could be called a mansion - on Mundus. A relatively modest two story, six bedroom house houses the Premier and family and attains to most executive business. The house is currently occupied by Premier Minerva Todd, her husband James, and their daughter Millicent. The 19th century house was donated to the National Government by the late General Edward Mudd in 1923, who after a personal dispute with his children gave the house to the government instead, who established it as the Premier's residence. A renovation was authorized in 1986 by the National Assembly to establish two 'wings' on each side of the house.
