Smith Family

The Smith Family also known as the Smith Dynasty is a political family that is currently the de facto ruling Royal family in the Renoan Empire. The family has been known for their dominant role over the Shaoshan, Sonoran, Cascadian, and Renoan political landscape. The Smiths came to rule the country starting with Titania Smith's first inception in micronationalism through the "Starland" project in which Smith began as a Prime Minister and later came to rule as a autocratic monarch for two years. Smith formed the short-lived "Kingdom of Sonora" in April 2012 after the fallout of her Starland project before eventually committing to a joint venture with fellow micronationalist, Casey Hamlin. When the venture broke down in April 2014, Smith splintered off to form her own nation once more and continued to rule periodically over the last several years. By then, Smith's political views had slanted from libertarian to ardent Marxist-Leninist-Maoist. Smith has held four micronations since 2014, the current being Cascadia.

The Smith family have ruled as either a presidential or royal family since 2015 and have been removed from power several times, one of which being an inter-family coup. They have been voted out of office four times, one of which was one replacing the other. These times have included Titania Smith's defeat by Pusheen the Cat in the 2016 Shaoshanian Presidential election and her defeat by her grandmother, Diana Smith, in the August 2018 Sonoran Presidential election and Diana's subsequent overthrow by the former Smith two weeks later during the September Revolution. The Smiths have maintained power in one capacity or another ever since with a domineering influence over Renoan politics and its influence over the Cascadian political system.

The Smith Family hails from royal nobility in Ireland, Scotland, and Northumbria and are distant cousins to the ruling Percy family in Northumberland. As such, they claim their family lineage with respect to their distant kin, recognizing them as legitimate claimants in Northumbria while holding the claim to the family's continuation in North America (House of Percy Americanus). The Smiths can trace their family lineage as far back as the 7th Century (AD) with relations to King Louis VIII of France, King Alfonso VIII of Spain, King Henry III of England, and Duke Robert (Rollo) of Normandy as well as in Tuscany, Germany, and Scandinavia.
