Executive Republic of Portland (Days After Chaos)

The Executive Republic of Portland, commonly called only Portland is a state located around the conflux of the Williamette and Columbia rivers. An elective republic with the gurus of the Church of the One as electors of the Chief Executive, Portland is considered an elective theocratic republic, and is also known as a city-state. As the head of the powerful Pact of Tualatin, Portland is one of the most powerful nations in the Cascadia region, with their vast coffers of wealth, they hire the finest mercenaries for their military, most notably the fabled Cascadian Pikes.

Post-Chaos
The origins of the Executive Republic are shrouded in mystery, as no records survived the Chaos, and Portland itself was presumed to be depopulated. The surrounding countryside was plagued by wars and raids over farmlands and supplies until the self-proclaimed mayor of the city of Wilsonville established control over many of the neighboring regions, circa 1942, via shrewd treaties, charisma, and a certain amount of military expertise, as he was trained by his father, a former lieutenant in the United States Army.
