The Mormon Republic of Deseret, as it is commonly known, is a landlocked theocratic republic in North America, occupying the former state of Utah. During the North American War, it launched repeated attacks against Pacifica, but was ultimately repelled. With the collapse of the Rocky Mountain Confederation, many counties of the former states of Colorado and Wyoming have sided with their fellow Mormons for protection from warring factions vying for control of the region. The Republic of Deseret still holds claims to lands in the former states of Idaho, Nevada and Arizona.
