Far West
The second most expansive nation, Far West covers Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana completely, stretching past the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and part of Saskatchewan and into the Yukon Territory and Central Alaska.. It shares borders with the Left Coast, the Midlands, El Norte, and the First Nations. It's biggest city is Denver, although it also contains Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, U.S.A. and Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
The rugged, almost inhospitable terrain was first discovered by pioneers spreading westward through the idea of Manifest Destiny championed by the American government in the early 1800's, who would later own most of the land via the National Park Service. Much of the Far West's infrastructure was built by corporations based in far off cities such as Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. They are very distrustful of the government, much like Greater Appalachia and the Deep South. However, they are also suspicious of big corporations, who in their minds exploit the Far West for products made in areas such as the Left Coast or Yankeedom. Independence and self-sufficiency are held in high regard, and are often sought after by this nation to rid itself of its dependency on other nations.
