North Virginia

From Sixth World Wiki

The State of North Virginia was created as a part of the terms of the Treaty of Richmond, which formalized the CAS secession from the UCAS. It was created to serve as a buffer zone due to the fact that Virginia was one of the founding states of the CAS, and with its secession would leave the Federal District of Columbia, the seat of the UCAS federal government, on the border with a potentially hostile nation.

When North Virginia was created, Fredericksburg became the state capital.

[edit] Geography

The state borders the Potomac River to the north, and the Rappahannock River to the south, West Virginia to the west, and Chesapeake Bay to the east.

[edit] Politics

There have been several attempts within the state to secede from the UCAS and join the CAS. This came to a head in 2055 during the Compensation Riots, when secessionists led by Governor Jefferson and CAS political agitators attempted to force the secession of the state while rioting was going on in the Federal District of Columbia and while most of the military was deployed to Chicago to deal with the Bug City crisis. The attempt failed, however, and shortly afterwards Governor Jefferson died when his plane crashed.

Secession is still a popular issue within the state, however, and is not expected to go away any time soon.
