| - Founded in 2012 after all established control of Seattle had collapsed after the Boar Plague, the Seattle City-State is a prominent power of the Pacific Northwest. It was founded by one Charles Edwards, an aerospace engineer from Tacoma, after leaving the city as it dove into chaos in the hopes of carving out a comfortable life in Seattle. Edwards joined a number of other survivors that had taken refuge in the Seattle Colombia tower. The Colombia tower had become a vertical town in many ways, as had many of the other commercial sky scrapers of Seattle. Small makeshift shacks were constructed on various floors out of old cubical walls, and people lived in relative safety above the streets of Seattle. Edwards, upon arriving at the Colombia tower began to make a living as a salvage and repair expert. Having survived the hoards of Tacoma, Edwards was experienced in getting what he needed and not getting killed doing it. Selling and repairing everything from computers, guns, engines, and water treatment systems. Edwards quickly became the most powerful man in the Colombia tower, and began to take more control of the tower, increasing security on the lower level, and hiring mechanics and electricians to begin to retrofit the tower to be self sustaining. Water collectors were constructed on the roof and placed adjacent to salvaged wind turbines to provide energy and water for the tower. Filters were constructed along the pipes leading to reservoirs out of several life saver bottle filters, providing clean water for the whole tower. Edwards owned the water and the electricity, but ensured that it was free for all residents. Solar cells were eventually installed along the sides of the tower to bolster the small energy grid. Fiber optics were salvaged from various labs and colleges around the city to provide fiber optic internet for the whole tower. Edwards eventually placed a small tax on the tower's residence for these various services, and in May of 2013 Edwards formed an internet forum that eventually created the Constitution of the Seattle City-State. In July of the same year, the Colombia tower constructed a sky bridge to the Seattle Municipal Tower and began to build the same services as Colombia. Of these reforms was the conversion of much of the Seattle Municipal Tower into vertical farmland. The Seattle Municipal Tower became the first agrarian hub of Seattle, and its produce fed the city's relatively large population. In 2014 the Seattle City-State held a conference with leaders of various camps and settlements around the city, ceded themselves to the government of the Seattle City-State. Today the Seattle City-State is the most technically advanced nation in the Pacific Nortwest, and has been reborn as the trading hub it once was.
