About The Cascadia Post
What this paper is, and what it is not.
The Cascadia Post is an independent free-press broadsheet of the Republic of Cascadia, written from inside the Civic Year 2060. It covers the Assembly, the courts, the six regions, the Backbone, and the long unglamorous work of self-government — and it scrutinizes all of them, because that is what a free press is for.
It is also, plainly, a work of speculative fiction. The Republic of Cascadia does not exist. Its officers, ministries, rulings, and events are invented for a worldbuilding archive. Nothing on this site is a real news report, a real political claim, a real endorsement, or a real government publication. The First Steward is a fictional office; we cover it as an office, never as a person to be revered.
Editor — the Editorial Board, Auraria.
Desks — Republic, Regions, Law & Rights, Infrastructure, Oversight.
Standing line — A free press for a republic worth inheriting.
Charter — Beholden to readers, not to office. No hidden power. No sitting officer’s portrait on this page.
How we work
We read public records and say plainly what they show. We praise competence and name failure in the same voice. We publish our corrections where we published our errors, and we keep no friend at any ministry whose absence would change a sentence.
The Post is a sibling to the Republic’s own archive — the place the country describes itself. Where that archive is the Republic speaking, the Post is the press answering back. Both are fiction; the disagreement between them is the point.
