California (Americanization)

California, officially the Californian Republic (Spanish: República California), is a federal republic in southwestern North America. It is bordered on the north by Cascadia, on the south by Rio Grande, on the east by Texas, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. California covers over 2 million square kilometers and has an estimated population of over 53 million. California is a federation comprising 15 states and its capital is Eureka with Los Angeles being it’s largest city.

California was first inhabited by indigenous peoples of the Americas before European exploration. It was first conquered by Spain, then became a part of Mexico. The Californian Revolution and the subsequent Mexican-American War in 1848 resulted in the independence of California.
