California

California was a nation in Polaris added in Cycle III that took the role of its same-name counterpart, however independent. The nation was not seen again in Cycle IV, however the flag of the nation was left over and added to the Cycle IV's list of flags.

Trivia
A version of Cycle III's map with an updated North America did not feature California, despite all other nations in North America remaining.

California's flag strikes resemblance to the flag of Drachma.
