"On this day, June 12, 1885, a group of determined and practical men
stood on the steps
of the Provincial Assembly building in Seathl, the
capital of Canada's Rain Coast Province.
"The Northwest Rebellion was over, but its underlying causes were still a
sore point,
as was the economic pressure the east was bringing to bear
on the west.
"With this in mind, the Assembly voted to secede, to take the Rain Coast
Province
(roughly analogous to our Vancouver Island and a much larger
archipelago)
out of the Dominion of Canada and the British Empire.
Thirty-five years later, the Rain Coast Republic reorganized itself into
the Rain Island Anarchcracy, along anarcho-syndicalist lines.
"On this, the 128th anniversary of that fateful day, I post the above
recruiting poster
from my collection. It's from 1938 and shows Rain
Island
Army Union Sergeant Anne Norquist, who was selected
for the
poster by an open vote of the entire Army."
(Historian W. R. Reimer, 2013)
"...Isn't she as cute as a button?! But she's also line infantry,
and could likely break you in half like a frozen dog...."

recruiting poster featuring Army Union Sergeant, Anne Norquist)
