RP Description:

The year of our lord is 1800. As we enter a new century, full of promise and uncertainty, we take a look back at the memorable moments of our last. The 18th century, was rocked by chaos, a chaos so great, the entirety of the world shook, and it began with thirteen small British possessions in the Americas, that would launch the world into a radical change. The Treaty of Paris(1783), gave birth to thirteen independent states, united by the war, these states would later meet in Philadelphia, in hopes of uniting into one single federation. This was known as the Philadelphia Convention, however for whatever reason this convention failed, and the idea of unification between the former colonies died. Around the same time of the Philadelphia Convention, a confident France waged a war against the minor Italian states, this being, led to the suspicion of her neighbors, who quickly created a web of alliances. Within a few days, the European continent was once again at war, this war however was far greater than any other seen in the world, all of Europe seemed engulfed in the war, from the Scandinavians to the Portuguese in the south. The war lasted for six miserable years, it ended in a bitter stalemate, that left resentment and destruction across the European continent. However due to the European war, and its aftermath, a fever for revolution swept across the Americas, it was a great plague especially Spanish America. It was when New Granada who was the first to ring the bells of independence, did revolutions explode in New Spain and Peru, who passionately overthrew their colonial masters.

That was seventeen years ago. Now a bitter Europe seems ready to explode once again in war, as the peace treaty between them, left unfinished business. The Americas though, still infant and somewhat fearful of their former masters, have prospered and created rivalries of their own. They now look westward with eager anticipation, as slave-revolted states fight to remain free. This is 1800, will you conquer the west as a former British Colony? Resits the whites and create a Native American Confederation? Will you reestablish your presence as a colonial master? Will you survive this new era?

    Other Info
    Brief Description of your Economy: The government remains out of economic affairs, and in return private citizens control the economy. Coal mining is a semi-large industry in Pennsylvania, while agriculture is the dominant sector of the economy in all three states. Timber is exported largely from New Jersey and fishing is done off the coasts of Delaware and New Jersey. Animal husbandry is also a large industry in all four states.
    Goals:
    -Remain independent
    -Help slaves escape slave-nations and find refuge in the DVF
    -Emerge as a dominant power in the North
    History: Philadelphia was once regarded as the Birthplace of Liberty for a young nation, a nation that now no longer exists. Since the collapse of the United States, the Delaware Valley Federation has managed to remain independent and as a key player in the North. Bordering the South, the DVF acts as a place of refuge for slaves hoping to find their freedom, and refuses to return them to the slave-states to be forced into slavery once more. Benjamin Franklin, the man who founded the DVF, is honored throughout the nation and brought new levels of prestige to the DVF with his various inventions and discoveries. Slavery was abolished upon the formation of the DVF and has even included in the nation's constitution. Maryland was later annexed following a coup by the Marylander Military, which was pro-DVF.

    Interesting. Maybe I could play as a Hudson Bay Company that gradually evolved into a self-governing colony? Either that or a settler republic in the prairies.

    Other Info
    Brief Description of your Economy: The Economy of the carolinas mainly relies on Cash crops grown on plantations by slaves traded to Europe and the northern colonies though the Carolinas has been taking steps to decrease trade with the north. The wilds of tennessee have also added a lumber and fur industries in western Carolinas. The lumber trade had lead to the growing on the shipbuilding industry in Coastal Carolinas and the Furs are a valuable resource traded to europe.

    Goals: Get relations with GB back up to sell her cash crops, Expand westward, strengthen relations with other southern colonies

    History: With the breakdown between the states during the Philadelphia Conference, North Carolina withdrew back to her own borders and established a Confederacy with their sister state South Carolina electing their first President John Baptista Ashe who has won every election up to 1800 with the next one coming int 1801. Immediately, The carolinas confirmed her hold on Tennessee by sending 3 regiments of North Carolinians of the former Continental army. A further move was done by making a treaty with the Cherokee who agreed to keep control of tennessee in exchange for Citizenship and semi-autonomy. It was a move that was unpopular with some people who wanted to take the Cherokee land but the government stopped any action against the Cherokee. In 1785, The North Carolinain army and Navy were officially formed totalling about 12000 men between the two. From 1785 to 1800, the army and navy were gradually expanded which turned out to be a good move as the Shawnee revolt of 1793 broke out calling the armed forces to put down the Shawnee revolt. The national success of the shawnee proved how ineffective european tactics were in the wilds of tennessee and the intervention of Cherokee warriors are the only thing that saved the army in the early war. The revolt was put down but proved the regular army was almost useless in the frontier. this lead to the establishment of the frontier rifle corps, an elite force of 2000 men set to stop anymore revolts. the next 7 years were quiet in North Carolina with the government trying to reestablish relations with britain to trade.

    What do you guys think? Slightly leaning to a Prairie territory, maybe I could make it a weird mix of Monarchic and Republican government, with a symbolic King in London, and a Regent who exercises authority in their name and with a powerful parliament.

    Military Info

    Les Armees Royale de Quebecois:The Royal Army of Quebec is a well trained and well armed force, comprised of Francophone Canadians from the established cities of stone of Lower Canada. trained in traditional European tactics this force is extremely disciplined, however it faces challenges in the way of fighting first nations people for land and God. In total it numbers around 4,250 men, which is 1/2 of 01 in regards of the Canadian Population, this is of course the professional and permanent army, rather then conscripts who can be called up in time of need
    The Canadian Royal Army:This branch of the army is comprised of Anglo Canadians in the Upper Canadian provinces due to living in the frontier of Canada, they are far more elastic in strategy willing to adopt first nations tactics as well as European tactics, depending on the situation, The CRA is decently trained despite being rather new, however they are very well armed due to the funding of Fur traders of English descent.

    Royal Canadian Navy(RCN): The Royal Canadian navy is an older institution comprising of ships given to the Colony by Great Britain following the insurrection against the French during the Canadian Sovereignty Crisis, however despite Canada's massive amounts of useful wood for ship construction, the navy remains quite small due to the limited harbour space mainly due to the St Lawrence freezing most of the time. While the ships the navy does have are decent at their jobs, the Canadian Government is constantly seeking warmer ports to house a larger navy in, particularly the *State of New york*.

    Goals: Reach the West coast, Expand south into the Warmer lands, Engulf the Great Lakes, Make an asston of money, Serve Anglo-Canadian and Franco-Canadian interests, Assimilate the Natives into superior European culture.
    History:
    In the late 1780's after Britain did not actually take the fight to France and left Quebec unmolested during the Seven years war, the population of the small colony started to resent taking orders from an inefficient government hundreds of miles away. In 1779 the Government of France fell in what is now known as the French revolution, the populace of Quebec was most notably Conservative Monarchists, due to the landowners being hand picked nobles for the seigneurial system. Following news of the revolution, Quebecois Patriots seized Quebec City and declared independence from France, and quickly petitioned for protection from the British. the British agreed, under the pretence that Quebec would allow British Crown companies and Citizens settle in Quebec to exploit the vast amount of resources, Quebec quickly agreed.

    Following the declaration of independence, the Quebecois celebrated and following the example of the -Third Estate- the Quebecois embraced Democracy, however due to the vast amount of Monarchists in Quebec, especially the aristocracy, a King was agreed upon, to fill this role, the Aristocracy had their own elections among themselves of who would be Quebec's new king, after many months the Count of Montreal Emmanuel-Phillibert de Bastia, a Corsican aristocrat was selected, upon his selection, he adopted the new House moniker of "de Montreal" to signify his connection with the Capital of the new kingdom. Following the selection of Quebec's new king the first democratic election in Canada occurred, with the electoral system based on the British parliamentary system a "Prime Minister" was selected from the Catholic Faction lead by Sir. (Whatever the equivalent is in French idgaf) Jean-Achille Maximilien Artoise.

    Many years of stable growth had allowed the Anglo-Canadian population to grow, however this also as you may have guessed caused problems with the French Quebecers who, like their brethren in France disliked the English to a degree, however also loved them due to the protection they provided against any Malicious French anger. To solve this, the government under Tholomeyes Dierdoroise urged Anglo-Canadians to migrate west to the lands of "Ontario" as dubbed by the natives, who found that it was warmer then the freezing hell that is quebec during the winter. Many English complied and dubbed the new territory "New England" to fit their heritage. Upon their arrival the New Englanders founded the town of New Lincoln on the Natural harbour on the lake dubbed "Lake Vivienne" for the Lady of the Lake in English Arthurian legend. The territory received many settlers in the brief time following it's foundation, so much so that the Government of Montreal declared it a full federal province with all the rights and privileges of Quebec.

    For balance sake I ask that Canada not get New England and New York because why?

    They can both easily be rather sizable nations on their own.

    Military Info
    Army: The Dominion of Saskatchewan has a mounted Calvary Army that serves to both enforce laws and defend, though policing is it's main concern. Threats of war are handled by both the Royal Saskatchewan Mounted Legion, and the local Militias. In total they have around 750 professional soldiers, however they receive valuable assistance from the Cree, a native group that strongly supports the Dominion as they have been granted favourable concessions. The Cree are not professional soldiers, yet they are excellent horsemen and support the RSML wherever possible. Around 1,000 Cree assist the RSML. The professional soldiers are well-armed with the latest rifles, which they receive through deals with the Hudson's Bay Comapny and through trading with Louisiana. They are trained in the flat terrains of the Prairie.
    Navy: The Dominion has no navy, as it has no coastline, and therefore no need.

    Other Info
    Brief Description of your Economy: The Economy of Saskatchewan is primarily based on agricultural produce, livestock and wheat are the main crops, along with others, though these products are sold internally instead of externally. A strong fur trading industry has developed by pursuing lucrative contracts with the Hudson's Bay Company, Saskatchewan furs are prized throughout Europe for their quality. However the Dominion is a relatively new project undertaken, and therefore it is rather difficult to determine the true economic state of the Dominion as things are just getting started.
    Goals: Expand to encompass the Prairies, Develop good relations with the other nations in North America, Create a permanent establishment
    History: The history of the Dominion of Saskatchewan is a relatively short one. Up until 1785 everything goes as in real life history, the land now owned by the Dominion is under the nominal and ineffective sovereignty of the Hudson's Bay Company (which in turn was governed by the British Crown). Despite having a firm trading presence in the area, they are unable to keep control and in order to assert British sovereignty over the Native People's in the area and to avoid encroachment by the budding young nations to the South. The company sponsors a settlement expedition, with the invaluable help of the Cree a settlement of 1,500 is born at a former trading post.

    The settlement, called Regina in the name of Queen Charlotte, famed for it's Agricultural bounty and prosperity quickly grows into a large town. The only settlement in Western Canada. The British Monarchy, eying the prosperity of the new settlement put interest in the project, and started to fund it. Settlers soon came flooding in. A Lieutenant-Govenor by the name of Archibald O'Brian was sent to the settlement in order to continue the prosperity.

    O'Brian set quickly to work, and nearly worked himself to death to attract settlers. With programs such as free farmland for young families, he also offered farmland to visiting fur traders looking to settle down. In a bid to attract young ladies for marriage to the bachelor population he used his own money to buy a dowry for these ladies (in a system quite similar to les filles de rois, implemented by Jean Talon in RL New France). He also worked to build the Royal Saskatchewan Mounted Legion, in order to police the settlement. He established close ties with the Cree, his principal native allies and granted those who assisted them favourable concessions.

    His efforts beared fruit eventually, within a decade the population had increased to 7,000. And settlers were still flocking in. In 1796 the British Monarchy forced the Hudson's Bay company to give up the lands now ruled by the Dominion, an Instrument of Governance was established and it effectively became a self-governing colony. Despite only having one major town and the rest being farms and trading posts. Ever since then the administration has worked tirelessly to build this new domain, but they still have a lot of work to due if they wish for this venture to be successful.

    If this seems a little unrealistic I will point out that the main settlement is basically a town, the buildings aren't all fancy and everything is still kind of rustic.
