Editing Pacifica (section)

==='''West Coastees'''=== 
The Pacific states had a similar mismatch of Changed races.  The pacific states had humans, Orcs, and magical creatures.  
*Washington.2,309,000 West Coast humans Elfs, and magical creatures.  Washington has a West vs East split of populations at the Change.   West fitting well in the group called West Coastees
*Oregon. 4,246,000
*California. 39,240,000
*British Columbia 5,000,000
*Alaska.732, 000

The pacific states had around 52,000,000 on the morning of the Change. 26,000,000 disappeared.  26,000,000 were divided into a group of 13,000,000 were human.  The remaining 13,000,000 should have split evenly between human, elves, dwarves, orcs, and magical creatures at 2,600,000 each.

But the actual distribution of the remaining 13,000,000 split in about 300,000 for elves and humans and Dwarves. 900,000 for Orcs, elves and dwarves. Humans got the amazing benefits of 7,000,000, orcs got 3,000,000 and 2,100,000 magical creatures. This distribution led to enclaves of elven peoples and dwarves feeling the sting of the politics of the Western states.  Hidden communes of both group grew up throughout Pacifica. 

The numbers can get confusing but the end result was that the western states were dominated by humans and were overwhelmingly supported by the orcs who made up a large part of the special forces of the Pacifica military.  The White Hand despised the orcs every where else.

The West Coastees control national politics and policies.
