History
Formation
The precursor to the Pacific States, the California Republic, was founded by Maurice in EarthScape, a geopolitical towny server which lasted only for a short time before it was shut down by staff.
California Republic, EarthScape
Before the start of the EarthScape season, Maurice, the acting president, left the nation after it was clear Mauriocracy would not succeed under his political party, the Democratic Socialists of California. Leadership of California was handed over to angryfishstick1 of the Libertarian-Socialist Party (later the Socialist Party), which worked with Skulli and the rest of the Whig Party to ratify a constitution and form a bipartisan government under the United Californian Alliance. A presidential election and two gubernatorial elections were held before and during the EarthScape season.
California Republic, pre-Season Pixlies
The decision to move California Republic to Pixlies was made shortly after EarthScape shut down. The mass movement of Californians from EarthScape to Pixlies resulted in the Viceroyalty of California peacefully ceasing to exist, with angryfishstick1, the former Viceroy, becoming Vice President. Presidential elections were scheduled on 19 November 2023, but were not held due to inactivity.
Pacific States, pre-season Pixlies
On 21 November 2023, sleep organized a group of seven people, including Skulli and angryfishstick1, to form a new nation on the western North American coast. Within the next few days, a constitution for the United Pacific States was written. On 26 November, a public convention was held to finalize the draft. The constitution was approved in three referendums across the country the same day.
