= The Federal Republic of California = The Leader of the Republic of California would be Samuel Jackson, the 1936 elections are coming up soon an the Progressive party candidate Richard Nixon plans to run against Danial Clemens, the Grandson of Famed Writer Mark Twain as he is running in the Federal Party. California has an booming economy with specialists in Naval Technology and one of the finest stander of military. The terrible wildfires and earthquakes occur on almost an yearly base, as scientists would try to figure the best way to fix the problem. Water is an major problem for Californians so they get their imports from Nevada in the Colorado River and Canada. Their half an million standing army mostly station along the Spanish border, with California having considerable power in the Pacific as it has one of the top navies there only rivaled by Japan and Great Britain, these days the British and Californians have an long standing friendship by the Anglo-Californian Friendship treaty of New Bristol in 1911. New Bristol was founded in 1869 a couple years after the Californian War for Independence in the current modern day place of Sacramento. The Vegas State of California has one of the highest income rates in the country as the city boosts an 550,000 population. Currently California has an population of 15 Million with most of the population being on the coast the two largest cities New Bristol and San Francisco boosts an considerable 1.2 million each making it one of the fastest growing cities on earth. California owns the Sandwich Islands(Hawaii) and multiple Polynesian islands including Midway and the Cook Islands.

= History =

Early 1800s(1800-1848)
The Spanish claimed California and for the first 10 years only minor expeditions occurred. In 1816 the first major expedition happened by Horatio Delavar of New Spain who explored both San Francisco Bay and Sierra Nevada and soon the city of San Francisco was founded. Over time immigrants from New Spain would come in attracted on owning large area's of land and getting rich. An gold rush happened in the late 1840's and an rush of immigrants saw an influx of European, Asian and British Settlers. The Provence of Alta California was made in 1835 and soon the first and only Governor of Alta California would be Enrique Sanchez in 1838. The White settlers would outnumber the Spaniards by 2 to 1 and soon an conflict was brewing.

Mid 1800s(1848-1900)
Following the 1848 gold rush there were an considerable number of European Immigrants, most of them sympathize with the British Empire. Governor Enrique Sanchez would hate the new settlers and put on travel bans on the White Immigrants and start prohibiting them from owning land and some of their rights are taken away. Naturally this would anger a lot of settlers who came to California in prospects of getting rich from the Gold Rush. When the Gold Rush Ended in 1855 an young writer who immigrated from Missouri from the British Colonies in hopes of getting an better life he found that the people in California were oppressed at every turn and racism would occur, he started writing books at an Newspaper stand in San Francisco and he wrote an variety of books encouraging Californians to stand up against these crimes, that writers name was Mark Twain or Samuel Clemens. Twain was arrested in January 1859 after an dispute over his writings and former British Military Officer Joseph Hooker would take over his cause. The Second Anglo-Spanish War would begin in 1860 after the decades of tensions between the British and Spanish Governments over Texas. The British would put General Robert E Lee in charge of the Campaign of California assisted by General George Meade. The British would make headway imminently taken out the Spanish border forces and quickly sweeping Nevada and Northern California. Joseph Hooker hearing about the War would break Mark Twain out of prison in San Bernardino Prison and soon he would encourage an Californian Uprising as large parts of the Predominantly White Northern California would take up arms and overrun the Spanish Forces in San Francisco, Robert Lee and Joseph Hooker would overrun the forces near Eureka California as more uprisings across California would break out as Stonewall Jackson was causing trouble in Nevada as we would successfully capture Reno and make his way down to Las Vegas. General Santa Anna after finishing up the British in Texas and pushing them back to the Mississippi River would arrive in California to face off against Lee. At first Santa Anna would overrun Meade's and Hooker's forces pushing almost back to San Francisco, but an last minute attack would encircle over 75,000 of Santa Anna's men and he would have to flee all the way back to Los Angles to hold an last stand against Robert E. Lee. Meanwhile Stonewall Jackson would capture Las Vegas and begin linking up with Sherman in New Mexico as they close in and massacre over 25,000 Spanish troops under the command of Pedro de Ampudia as he would be killed too. With Phoenix under siege things weren't looking too good for Santa Anna and the bloodiest battle of the war would happen in Los Angles as over 150,000 British and Californian troops would arrive against Santa Anna's force of 100,000 men, an harsh street battle would occur as men would lose their lives in the thousands eventually Santa Anna fled Los Angeles and begun reorganizing an force in Tijuana but it was too late as Lee would have overrun Baja California. Over 100,000 men would lose their lives in Los Angeles and an independent Californian Republic was set up by the British, with General Hooker being the first President of California as they would gain their independence in 1867. Hooker would serve as President in 6 year terms with each person being allowed to run 2 times, he would serve California from 1867 and shortly after he finished his presidency he would die in 1879 with Mark Twain being his successor and the process of rebuilding and turning California to the Global stage would begun under Twain as he would be California's Greatest President ever as he would be the one to go down in the History Books.

Late 1800s (1879-1900)
The Californians coming out of the shadows rebuilt after the revolution would begin an quick paced expansion for the next 20 years. The Californians under Mark Twain would begin to build up their navy using Ironclads leased from Great Britain and begun an jumping off point for the navy. Monitors(or submarines) would start seeing real action in California as the Californians would begin using them in Hawaii. Twain wanting to see an expansion to Californian Control in the Pacific would send down an large fleet with 30,000 soldiers to take the Sandwich Islands(Hawaii) as they would be largely successful showing no mercy in this campaign with minor help from Great Britain as over 60% of the native population would die in that war. Twain would also purchase the Cook Islands and overrun Midway from the Natives as well. With the treaty of Los Angeles in 1888 the British would allow Californian Warships to dock in the British Pacific colonies and Canada. When the election of 1892 came around Twain was unable to serve an third term so his successor would be Langdon Clemens but they would lose to Franklin Milhous grandfather of Richard Nixon and the beginning of an two party system would happen with each vibing for control.

Early 1900s(1900-1935)
Milhous would continue Twain's expansion of the navy but other then that no real things happened during his reign. When Langdon Clemens was elected in 1904 he would begin an series of treaties with the British making their alliance grow. The first Dreadnought in California would be produced in 1908 after help from the British and so the CSS Hooker was born. When the 1906 Earthquake happened in San Francisco most of the city needed rebuilding as tons of money poured in halting the Californians from joining the Third Anglo-Spanish war which ended up in an Stalemate. With the recent Japanese Expansion into the Philippines and Spanish Pacific California would begin limiting immigration from Japan and begin more fortifications around the Sandwich Islands(Hawaii) and an Bigger navy making their's the 6th Biggest navy worldwide and 3rd in the Pacific. The Unpopular Langdon would lose his reelection to Alfred Scots in 1910 who would begin to improve the Californian Economy and actually focus on slowing the Californian expansion and improving relations with Europe. When 1922 rolled around George Hilton would become president but was soon killed in 1924 due to an Anarchist bomb which killed several members of his cabinet leaving Head of the House Calvin Coolidge to step up and become president and served only 6 years due to the economy going higher and higher and he decided to leave it there. Samuel Jackson would be elected president in 1930 and in 1932 the World Economy Crashed due to the London and Parisian stock markets crashing leaving millions on the street and California heavily dependent on England in some ways would have to find their way out of this mess.
