History
Secession from the United States of America
With war brewing in the United States between Syndicalists, southern rebels supporting Huey Long and those loyal to the MacArthur military junta, the Governors of California, Oregon and Washington held an emergency meeting in San Francisco in which they agreed that the United States government had become illegitimate and that they therefore were compelled to cease following unconstitutional Federal directives and take immediate action to preserve the American system. The national guards of each state were mobilized and seized federal facilities, and soon the states of Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Arizona followed suit. Initially these states declared themselves to be in a state of Non-Compliance with the Washington junta, but as the war began to accelerate in both its scale and its brutality, soon it became clear a quick resolution to the interstate conflict was not going to be resolved. Therefore, on June 27th of 1937, the Governors of each state, with the support of their state legislatures' signed the Pacific Declaration of Independence and formed a provisional government in which each of the governors served as joint heads of state. Shortly after this declaration, the administrations of the territories of Alaska and Hawaii requested to join the Pacific States which was swiftly granted.
Birth of the Pacific States
With the Pacific States formed, national guard units from across the new nation were sent to the border where they enacted a national defense scheme called Operation Shield to establish the Rocky Mountains as a natural border. Facing a combination of Longist, Syndicalist and Federalist forces, the Pacific American forces made their to the Rocky mountains and pushed into enemy strongholds. However, the cost of this action in lives was simply unacceptable in the eyes of the Pacific government and soon the Pacific States Army was relegated to defensive actions only. On July 23rd, the Pacific government announced an Official Declaration of Neutrality in the Second American Civil War.
As the months went by, the Federalist position faltered and seeing the Canadians as opportunistic for having sent forces along the Eastern Seaboard to advance the cause of the Commonwealth of New England, the Pacific Governors felt trapped. Within their own country there were Syndicalist tensions which only rose with each Syndicalist victory in the news. Furthermore, under the immense pressure of the Japanese whom had begun conducting drills off the Pacific Coast, the Pacific States did not want to be drawn into foreign wars. Surprising the Pacific Governors, a Japanese delegation was sent in early August assuring the Pacific States governors that the Japanese would not allow the tyrannical forces east of the Rockies to overrun the Pacific.
After a snap election in late August, Governor Frank Merriam of California was made President of the United Pacific States of America.
