State: Montana
Adjacent States being claimed: Idaho, Wyoming
Official/New Name: The MountainWest Corporation
Type of Government:Corporate Statism
Leader and Title:Hubert Renly, Chief Governing Officer

History since independence. In the days following the dissolution, reclusive billionaire Edmund Renly used his vast holdings of gold to purchase large tracts of mineral rich land in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. In addition to providing inhabitants with secure wealth, he also hired private military firms to protect them. Incorporating these lands as the MountainWest Corporation, he gradually extended control across the three states. Upon his death, he ensured his eldest son Hubert would be elected as CGO.

Government

Executive:Chief Governing Officer, has absolute authority in all matters. Elected by shareholders to 12 year terms.
-Leader(s): Hubert Renly
Legislative: Cabinet of Directors, with each Director heading a specific division such as Mining or Security.
-Leader(s): Orson Thurgood, Senior Vice President of Government Operations
Judicial: 72 corporate judicators, who travel the region in a circuit, ruling on legal cases and dispensing penalties. Serious issues may be sent to the executive or legislative branch as dictates. Minor issues are typically handled by a town tribunal of senior share holders.
-Leader(s): Wilhelm Brockway III, Senior Corporate Judicator

How is the Executive chosen: Direct election by shareholders.
How is the Legislative chosen: By the CGO, with the majority consent of the judicators.
How is the Judicial chosen: Appointed by the Director of Legal Affairs, with the majority consent of the Cabinet of Directors and consent by the CGO.

Is Military under civilian command or autonomous, and who is the commander: CGO is executive commander of all armed forces. Director of Defense handles day to day command. The largest cities and crucial mining areas are designated as Bastion Towns, heavily fortified and garrisoned by professional military personnel. All other areas are protected by volunteer militia, under the command of a corporate Sheriff.

Other important governmental information / important people: There are no other important people, just cogs in the machine.

Other Important information about your Nation: Our motto: "We do business with anyone, anytime, anywhere."
All legal citizens are employees and shareholders in the MWC. An employees stake is based upon their position within the company. All personal income is derived solely from stock dividends. Stock holdings also entitle a citizen to proportional vote for the office of CGO. However, the dispersal of stock holdings ensure that this ability is only nominal, and all such power rests with a tightly knit cabal of officers at the top of the corporation. Nonetheless, by the laws of the Corporate Charter, even a lowly Company Store stockboy with 25 shares is entitled to the same legal and social protections as the CGO. Whether said protections are actually enforced is somewhat erratic.
