History
In 2012 the Municipal States of the Pacific descended into civil war because the Pacific Coast Police Unit killed an innocent student who was also the nephew of the mayor of Port Orford. The rebels won the civil war in July 2012 thanks to help from the new United States. A new constitution turning the Municipal States into the Republic of Jefferson, moving the capital to Yreka, was passed in October 2012 and elections were held in December 2012.
Politics
The Jefferson Nationalist dominate politics in the Republic of Jefferson. The only other party with seats in the congress is the Populist Party. The Populist Party may be small but it is growing in popularity.
International Relations
Relations with the ANZC and the SAC are strained do the public blaming them for propping up the brutal former Municipal States of the Pacific regime. In march 2015 an ambassador from Brazil came to Yerka and a speech about how the people of Municipal States were in their rights to overthrow the brutal civic rights party regime. He also said that Brazilian government was sorry that it didn't have time to send aid but they are willing to send reconstruction support and were looking forward to trading again. The President of Jefferson respond by blaming the SAC and The ANZC for propping up the Civic Rights Party in the first place. The Republic of Jefferson is very close to the United States. The aid of second United States in over throwing the civic rights party has greatly reduced the anti American sentiment caused by being abandoned by the federal government in 1983 .
