History
In 2026, large numbers of Bahai Fatih refugees, as well as migrants from civil war-torn Russia migrated to California. They eventually found the planned city of "Jadida", from Arabic meaning "new".

This new city of Jadida would be a Bahai and Russian Orthodox haven in California.

In 2041, California was absolutely ravaged by HAARP attacks from secret Russian and Japanese interdimensional and unconventional weapons. The state had just dealt with 4 major earthquakes, as well as flooding and forest fires, Evangelicals claimed was part of God's judgement for America's sins.

The U.S. government continually refused to listen to anti-war protests, and declared it an act of traitorism to oppose war efforts against the eastern powers.

David Roger, a former U.S. Marine platoon leader (I don't know jack shit about U.S. military hierarchy), eventually led one of the largest military mutinies, along with U.S. Navy lieutenant, Sergio Mendez, and two formed what would become called the Independent California Guard.

President Roger proclaimed the Republic of California, with Sergio Mendez as his Vice President. Russian Supreme Leader Nikolay Chernov recognized President Roger and California as an independent nation.

The U.S. government and California state government responded by sending FEMA after resistors. The ICG raided FEMA bases and camps and attacked loyalist forces. However, the ICG made it clear that they were not friendly towards either Russia or China, and attacked Chinese troops.

This lead to an all-out war between China and the ICG, lasting for over three years. Despite the ICG putting up a valiant fight, and inflicting large causalities against the Chinese forces, they ran out of ammunition, and the remnants fled to safer former states.

In addition, communist paramilitaries aided the Chinese againstthe ICG.

The presence of Chinese forces only doubled in California in the coming years, aided by more arrivals of Russian communists, expelled from Russia by the neo-Imperialist government in St. Petersburg.

Edward Beenik succeeded David Roger as the "President of California", and President Beenik worked with Chinese and Russian leaders to help with California's recovery.

President Beenik is perhaps known for his infamous messages to remaining ICG supporters, "The United States is gone, and so is your rebel army, our State, now our Country, has been ravaged no other times, people are starving, our so-called military depleted, lay down, let it go. The resistance has been defeated, and while it makes sense for a place such as the former Confederacy, or perhaps Texas, it is of no use for what shall now proclaim, as the People's Republic of California."

After the New Reds finally lost all of their strongholds in Russia, millions of Russian communists and socialists migrated to California, settling in the historic Fort Ross ghost town.

Sergey Kasimirov himself migrated to California, and was offered a position as the Defense Minister of the People's Republic of California. However, wanting to live a quiet life, and help re-establish Russian communist strongholds in northern California, Kasimirov declined and instead, left the position to his right-hand man Oleg Kournikov.

Californian president Robert McGibson commented on the Russian Californians' fighting abilities, grafting many of them into the Californian Armed Forces. President McGibson ordered the invasion of Nevada, integrating as East California. His was followed by the invasion of the Oregon Republic, however, the invasion was s bogged down due to fierce resistance by Dixie-backed Oregon Army forces.

Both China and California attempted to convince Russia to use their HAARP bases, but Supreme Leader Orlova declined. Eventually, Californian and Chinese forces conquered and annexed Oregon as North California.

Kournikov formed a new communist cult in northern California, where he planned to secretly overthrow the neo-Imperialists in Russia, however his plot was discovered, and he was relieved of his position, since the Californian government also had high ties with Russia.

Although nominally a socialist state, President McGibson continued the American tradition of allowing multiple political parties in California. McGibson increased fundings for Space X, and soon enough, Space X would come to help the Californian aerospace indsustry and turn California into a major space power.

Via Russian, Japanese and Chinese aid, the 1st Hawthrone Base, located in the home city of Space X, became home to California's first interdimensional military base, headed by Boris Andrushenko, who would become the 3rd Commander of the Californian Space Force.

North American Cold War 2080-present
Under the neoconservative government of Ching Guo, California engaged in hostilities against the Dixie Republic. Both North American major powers funded proxy wars in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and the Dakota Republic.

At this point in time, the North California rebellion commenced, by citizens not a fan of the communist regime. Californian forces were defeated, and thus, Oregon joined with Washington to form the Republic of Cascadia. Russia and Japan, sharing an avid hate for communists, backed the military forces of Cascadia, and did not interfere in Cascadian politics.

The Dixie Republic, as well as Russia and Germany showed its complete disgust for the Californian government's treatment against Christians, while the Californian government showed its disgust against the Dixie Republic for using Christianity to discriminate against Dixie Chinese population.

Soon, the Mexican government voiced its displeasure against the Californian government for promoting atrocities against the Mexican Californian population, as Mexican Californians too, were included in the Chinese lebensraum.

This led to Mexico, Korea, Peru, Japan and Indonesia forming the Pacific Treaty against China.

2200 - "Age of Transhumanism"
In 2200, the Californian government embarked on a "futuristic" tech craze. President Ruslan Yosifov passed a law, requiring Californian citizens to get chip-implanted, to be able to access the internet through their heads.

Beginning from this point, many Californian citizens began to have their DNAs changed, morphing into cyborg-like beings. Many of the world's nations, including that of Russia, Canada, Cascadia, Germany, the Dixie Republic, the Pax Islamica, Pakistan and Indonesia immediately banned Californian chip implants in their nations, or any chip implants.

Other nations such as China, India and Bangladesh made it optional. However, in 2220, the Chinese government made it mandatory, planting the seeds for the Chinese Civil War.

Culture
California is one of the most ethincally-diverse countries in the world, with Eurasians, Afro-Asians, Europeans (including Russians), Han Chinese, Koreans, Japanese and Latinos calling California their home.

As of right now, Han Chinese predominate the majority of the People's Republic of California, forming roughly 37.4% of the total population.

However, many of the ethnic groups of California have been losing their identities, having the largest "mut" population in the world. Many of the Chinese, Korean and Japanese populations have intermarried to form an "Asian Californian" general group. In a survey, over 55% of Californians answered that they come from mixed lineages.

Intermarriage is de facto required in California, although not required by law, but those speaking out against intermarriage have been jailed in California.

In terms of religion, all religious organizations must be approved by California's National Cultural Corrections Agency. California is for the most part, irreligious, as the government highly discourages religion.

Economy
California has one of the world's highest economies. The gold, silver, precious metals, technology, aerospace and entertainment industries are California's top three sources of revenue.

As California is based off of a communist economy, California has one of the world's highest tax rates.

Military
The Californian Armed Forces are the official fighting force of California. It is divided into the Aerospace Force, Navy, Army and Home Guard.

Aerospace Force
The California Aerospace Force is one of the major space forces of the world. It currently owns two moon bases,
