lol yes a made up country like Transylvania and Bohemia. I think Shakesphere made them up. In the Hungarian movie "My 20th Century" a fellow traveller says that to one of the main characters about Hungary almost that same question about Hungary, Transylvania and Bohemia claiming Shakesphere invented them all. Well Cascadia is a bioregion. A bioregion is determined by its watershed or other ecological factors like biodiversity along with shared cultural traits. In the case of Cascadia this would encompus all the Pacific NorthWest from the Panhandle of Alaska to Northern California and from the Pacific Ocean to the western slopes of the continental divide. Oregon, Washington state British Columbia are the usual listed places that are included in Cascadia. Like Transylvania, Kashmir-Jamu, Nagorno-Karabakh, Kosovo and other regions that are within nation-states Cascadia is a bioregion that transcends nation-states. One could say Cascadia is international because it is divide administratively by Canada and the United States. Is Cascadia a future nation-state? ... well hopefully Cascadians will reject the idea of nation-states as outdated systems of oppression and ideally Cascadians will use our bioregion as one of self-reflection on our relationship with Nature and eachother. Anyway that is the Cascadian flag for Cascadia call it the Cascadian Flag or the Doug Fir flag or the Tree flag or just Doug for short.
