Between 2018 and 2021, the Eastern State was officially known as the '''Commonwealth of the Chesapeake''' and colloquially known as '''Chesapeake''' or '''the Chesapeake'''. Chesapeake had the same boundaries as the contemporary state of Greater Appalachia. Politically, Chesapeake was largely controlled by the [[Democratic Party]], who won most major races over the state's history. However, Chesapeake also served as a stronghold for the [[Bull Moose Party]], producing a governor and two senators from the centrist third party. Later, Cheaspeake also saw a significant presence from the [[Socialist Party (2019)|Socialist Party]], who successfully elected a governor. The first governor of Chesapeake was [[WendellGoldwater]], a Democrat, and the last governor was [[CDocwra]], a Democrat-turned-Green. Federally, Chesapeake was known for its unique {{wp|Electoral College}} vote allocation method, which proved decisive in ZeroOverZero101's victory in the [[June 2020 United States presidential election]].

=== Current canon (2021-) ===

The first Governor of Greater Appalachia was [[CDocwra]], a member of the [[Green Party]] during his governorship. He was succeeded in the [[March 2021 Greater Appalachia gubernatorial election|March 2021 election]] by [[GoogMastr]].
