Californian Republic

The Californian Republic, or the Republic of California, is the union of the US state of California and the Baja California Peninsula.

History
Independence movements in the American state of California were rising, higher than ever. People in California wanted an independent republic. The USA was sick of California, and it was having more problems with the state than ever, and some things were happening to the USA that made it a bit weaker at the time, so the US gave California independence.

A week later, things were seeming to be going really good. The economy was rising, and California was experiencing a population boom. However, they wanted more land, and for all of California to be united. They contacted Mexico about having its states of Baja California and Baja California Sur to become part of it. Mexico wished for California to become better and stronger to weaken the US, and they were quite nice and willing. Mexico agreed, and California payed them a lot of money for it too. The two Mexican states of the Baja California peninsula became part of the new Californian Republic.

Other states look up to California, and admire it. The Mexican states also do. California's economy became very big, and its military was growing too. The Californian Republic became a force to reckon with, and got recognition quite quickly and easily. Its citizens were also benefiting. The Mexican part's population was growing, and becoming more developed too. Most people became bilingual, knowing English and Spanish. English and Spanish both became official languages. The Californian Republic is still growing, and is expected to have a prosperous future.

Flag
The flag of the Californian Republic is the same as the one when California was a state. The flag also already had the words, "California Republic", before California became independent, so there really was no need to change it.
