Steven, we have Wikimedia Canada, which is larger than
Cascadia and
includes multiple provinces.
Yes, chapters can be on the national level. Most are. The theory from the
Committee goes that you can have a country *or* a lower level form of
municipality like state, province, or city. But you can't span multiplie
countries, and you can't spread out across a selection of subnational
munincipalities.
To be clear: I'm not opposed to the idea of a Cascadia group of
Wikimedians. I'm very much favor of it. I'm just warning you about what
I've heard about the bureaucratic limitations imposed on official chapters.
