Rio Blanco

The Republic of Rio Blanco is a federal presidential republic, situated on the Western region of North America consisting of 10 states and 1 district. Most of the territory is located within the Rocky Mountains range.

History
The Colorado Territory was created in 1861, following an Organic Act, with William Gilpin being appointed as Governor.

The admission to the United States was regarded as fairly imminent, but territorial ambitions for statehood were thwarted in 1865 by a veto by President Andrew Johnson. The Colorado Territory ceased to exist when the Republic of Rio Blanco formally seceded from the United States, by proclaiming a new Constitution (written by John Long Routt).
