'''Pachaug''', officially the '''Municipal Community of Pachaug''' is an [[international charter city]] in [[Cusinaut]]. It is an official client of [[Urcea]] under the terms of the trade charter it signed in 2017, and was the first such charter city established in western [[Crona]]. Initially part of the [[Northern Confederation]], it was subjugated by [[Algoquona]] but subsequently established its semi-independence under the charter agreement in the aftermath of [[Operation Mission Shield]] and [[Operation Western Blizzard]].

Pachaug was a member of the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]].


Pachaug is a member of the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]].
Following significant domestic tumult and the subsequent [[Pachoy Rebellion]], Pachaug's charter was eventually dissolved and the territory repatriated to the [[Chenango Confederacy]].

For the next two years, Pachaug (along with other cities, especially [[Housatonic]]) agitated for greater autonomy within [[Algoquona]] while treading carefully out of fear of central state reprisals. Following the [[Treaty of Narasseta]], government crackdowns were reduced and by 2013, the cities formed a league seeking autonomy and independence with regards to its trade negotiations, demands that were repeatedly denied. During 2014-15 and the onset of the [[South Nysdra War]], the focus of the two cities turned from a well-defined platform of autonomy was transformed into a single foreign policy goal: something the cities referred to as the "right of appeal" to [[Urcea]], relying on the fact that the latter state often allowed for great autonomy in exchange for religious and military concessions. These demands were viewed with suspicion within Kaigwa as the two cities became viewed as potential fifth columnists within the country, especially as the Treaty of Narasseta began to break down in 2016. The dispute between the cities and central government became a near political crisis and it was thought the cities would be besieged by Algoquonan forces, but the sudden onset of [[Operation Mission Shield]] severely reduced the ability of Algoquona to respond to internal matters. The subsequent [[Operation Western Blizzard]] largely destroyed the ability of the government of Algoquona to project power, and Kaigwa began to turn to tribal and local militias to supplement its failing armed forces. Housatonic and Pachaug formed the "two cities force", known as "''Tokorua nga taone nui''" natively, in an effort to extract concessions from the government in exchange for military support. By 2 February, negotiations broke down as the Tokorua nga taone nui began its march on Kaigwa, defeating pro-government militias and surrounding the city on 11 February. Following a three day siege, the two cities called for arbitration from Urcea, terms that Algoquona found to be humiliating but nonetheless agreed to. On 27 February, the two cities and Algoquona agreed to the Treaty of Electorsbourg. Under the Treaty, the two cities would formally remain under the sovereignty of Algoquona but would become [[International charter city|international charter cities]] under Urcean administration. Algoquona's acceptance of the treaty lead to further instability within the country, while the two cities prepared for greater stability and economic growth in the years ahead. The subsequent charter between Pachaug - which negotiated for itself - and Urcea was signed on 1 March and was to become effective on 3 March 2017.

On 3 March 2017, Urcean administrators entered Pachaug for the first time, meeting with local elected officials in order to begin erecting a local governing apparatus. The Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea were permitted to enter the territory on 5 March, and missionaries from the Catholic Church were permitted entry on 10 March. The governing structure of Pachaug was firmly in place by 1 April 2017, splitting administrative duties between local and Urcean administrators. On 2 April, the Communal Council ratified the Nysdra Sea Treaty, and the city joined the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] on 15 April 2017.

Unlike nearby [[Housatonic]], the charter era did not bring significant economic growth to Pachaug, and many analysts have considered the enterprise a failure. Pachaug entered the charter era with nearly twice the amount of wealth as Housatonic, but its neighbor quickly outpaced Pachaug in opportunity and growth throughout the 2020s. Between 2020 and 2030, Pachaug only averaged 2% annual economic growth while Housatonic doubled in prosperity, and the decade even saw many once prominent Pachaug business leaders depart the city for Housatonic. Local leaders began to express disappointment and opposition to the continuance of charter government by [[2025]] following the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. This disappointment and economic frustration led to calls for the repeal of the Charter. In 2030, the Communal Council elections saw a new, anti-Charter majority take office.

In February [[2032]], the Communal Council held a vote to abrogate the Charter agreement. The final vote saw 14 vote in favor and 6 against, but the terms of the Charter required a unanimous vote. The failed vote led to mass demonstrations throughout February and March, as protestors objected to the perceived anti-democratic nature of the vote's results. Beginning in April, many Pachoy began to clash with city police. On Sunday, April 18th, a number of armed protestors stormed the Council Chambers, which precipitated a number of Pachoy sailors in the [[Nysdra Sea Guard]] to mutiny and seize the Guard's naval base in Pachaug, beginning the [[Pachoy Rebellion]].

In XX 20XX, the new provisional government was given control over the entire territory and began the process of repatriating it to Chenango sovereignty.


== Government ==
== Government ==
Pachaug is an international charter city under Urcean administration, though in practice much of the domestic affairs of the city-state are handled by its native elected government modeled after some Occidental systems. The executive of Pachaug is called the Mayor-Intendent, who is elected by majority vote in years ending with 5 and 0, similar to the electoral calendar of Urcea. Pachaug employs universal adult suffrage for individuals over the age of 23. The Mayor-Intendent oversees most of the social and legal policies as well as some economic policies within the city, and he oversees the Charter Administration consisting of several ministries divided into various areas for the administration of state. The Mayor-Intendent is joined by the Communal Council, a 20-seat legislature divided into 18 districts by population and 2 at-large districts. The Council approves treaties, modifications to the city's charter, allocates budgetary funding to the Charter Administration, and executes other legislative roles. Joining the Charter Administration and Communal Council is the Charter Commission, a commission of three Urceans with some veto power over the affairs of state, especially with regards to zoning and economic provisions. Under the arrangement of the 2017 Charter, the Charter Commission and its subordinate agencies are largely responsible for the defense and economic planning for the city while providing "large-picture strategic goals", while the native government is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the city-state and are responsible for ensuring the concerns of the local population are properly heard and understood by the Charter Commission.

Following the [[Pachoy Rebellion]], Pachaug was integrated into the Chenango Confederacy as the [[Chenango_Confederacy#Republics|Fourth Republic]].

Two major languages are spoken in Pachaug; [[Housatonic#Linguistic_demographics|Housatonish]] and [[Algosh_Republic#Linguistic_Demographics|Algosh]], both of which were in common use throughout the northeaster parts of the [[Northern Confederation]]. These languages are mutually intelligible, and largely are used to indicate class rather than ethnic background. The traditional mercantile elite of Pachaug and their descendants, who make up approximately a quarter of the population, speak Housatonish, while the remainder speak Algosh. [[Julian Ænglish]] is used for most diplomatic and commercial settings.

Pachaug is a member of the [[Nysdra Sea Guard]] (NSG), which serves as its primary naval and coast guard force. Like [[Housatonic]], Pachoy sailers make up a disproportionate presence within the NSG relative to their overall population share of [[NSTA]].
