Background:
the Republic of California was established on August 16, 1999 in Vancouver, British Columbia during a meeting of the Pacific Rim Coalition, during a time when the United States was facing ridicule from nations around the world for its conflicts in Iraq, Yugoslavia, and in Kosovo. The members of the Pacific Rim Coalition soon passed a referendum on September 9, 1999 supporting their independence from the United States of America and Canada. Soon after the referendum was held the states that participated in the Pacific Rim Coalition formed the Republic of California on September 18, 1999 with its unofficial capital in Vancouver, British Columbia. A few months after the referendum was held the Californian Parliament was established and the Republic of California officially declared independence from the United States of America on November 19, 1999 with its official capital as Los Angeles. After setting up the Parliament, three prominent parties (Democratic-Socialist, Federative, and Republican) rose to fill the seats of the Parliament, and after elections took place the Democratic-Socialist Party of California took an astounding 337 seats becoming the main influence of Californian politics.

Afterwards the United States sent diplomats into the Repubic of California which was then composed of California, Alaska, Yukon Territory, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Wyoming, Louisiana, and Texas and a treaty was established declaring the Republic of California a nation seperate from that of the United States. Shortly after the Los Angeles-St. Louis Treaty was signed President Gill M. Freidman left office and was replaced by the new elected president Jared W. Benson, who supported the United States's opinion of keeping peace with the Rep. of California and opening diplomatic relations. During this time the relations betwen California and the rest of the world grew and nations began forming trade coalitions and the such with California. President Benson served two terms as U.S. President and was replaced by the next elected president former Missouri Senator David G. Maddox.

Shortly after his inauguration, Pres. Maddox amended the twenty-second amendment of the United States Constitution with the fifty-first stating "As long as the popular vote is in favor of the elected president, s/he may remain in power until the popular vote is swayed to another presidential candidate." Later, in the middle of what would have been the second year of Maddox's term on March 15, 2010, Pres. Maddox disbanded the Congress of the United States and declared himself Lord David G. Maddox of the United States and the United States spiraled into a dictatorship, this brazen act by the U.S. President forced several U.S. States to secede and to join the Republic of California.

Five months later on August 1, 2011 former Californian Senator Sandra M. Devnostræva was elected President, a day later Lord Maddox declared war on the Republic of California to try and force the nation back into the United States of America and the Second Civil War began. On August 18, 2011 after marshalling an army totalling 2,540,000 California declared war on the United States dividing the army into the Northern, Central and Southern Divisions, the Northern and Southern Divisions fanning out north and south from the Ohio River while the Central Division spearheaded to Washington DC.

After the Central Division surounded Washington DC and gave the ultimatum for surrender, Lord Maddox refused the terms and on July 3, 2021 the Californian Armed Forces struck Washington DC with an Electro-Magnetic Diffusion warhead.
A day later Californian forces crossed the Potomac River into Washington DC, to accept Lord Maddox's surrender, a meeting was held in Arlington, Virginia with the Presidents of the Federated Republic of New York and Jersey, the Federated States of Sovereign California and the Elentári of the Eternal Noldorin Empire of Menelmacar to determine the future of the United States of America. After much deliberation the Devnostræva-Fëanor Accord was signed giving the Sovereign Federation of California (FSSC) everything west of the Devnostræva-Fëanor Line, the Fed. Rep of New York and Jersey (NYNJ) acquired the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio and the remaining states were organized into the Federated Menelmacari States of America (FMSA) which were occupied and administed by the Eternal Noldorin Empire of Menelmacar on July 9, 2021.
