Jimmy’s Notes
Intermountain, like Louisiana, is a nation in decline. Surrounded on most sides by hostile forces, and without a population large enough to fight wars on multiple fronts, the Kings of Intermountain have been forced to concede land to appease their aggressive neighbors. It also over-relies on the intervention of New York on the continental scale to protect its borders.

Texas aggressively battles for land to the south, and Canadian pressure led to the ceding of land between the Missouri and Red Rivers, which gave the Dominion a slice of North American land south of the 49th parallel. This infuriated Lakes, and led to a severing of relations. After this concession, the royal family officially changed the name from the Kingdom of the West to Intermountain.
