Arvenia, I asked earlier but just in case you know an answer and I could get it now, I’ll ask again. Do you know a way we can calculate GDP for our nations in this timeline? Or is there a way you’d like us to do it?

You could combine the GDPs of Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico while minimizing the whole GDP so it wouldn't be too big.

But you only control some parts of Quebec, do you? New England is very close, while Cascadia is far away.

Don't forget Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Plus, Cascadia has Yukon.

Scandinavia doesn't seem like a threat, to me. It's likely that I'd ally or trade w/ them.

Norden has no interest in any military alliance or preferential trade agreement with Quebec. A third-rate North American splinter state would be well beneath any discussion on equal terms.

Hopefully we get some European great powers soon, especially Germany or Russia, since our diplomacy will likely revolve around containing those threats.

Just so you know, I do claim Laval. I forgot to mention that. (it's enough that it's tiny, and isn't really a region per se, but an administrative area)

Alright, I’m working on something now - I’m just wondering how to factor in for population increase and such. My source for Texas in 2060 says that’ll have 45 million residents for example. So I went between that and 2050’s estimate of 41 million to get the population for 2056. Texas as a whole has a GDP of 1.89 Trillion USD in 2019, so I’m not sure how much it’ll increase by with around 15 million new residents.

All I’m trying to say is, I had a number - and I’ve included it, but it does seem a little bit too big. (Maybe not? Given all three states have had their population increased? I don’t know.)

On Nationstates since 2012.
Nationstates’ Favourite Unknown and Autistic Tankie Eliminator!
B E G O N E T A N K I E DEGENERATE
Protip: Tankies =/= all communists.
Here - this is my political orientation, for anyone who wishes to know: https://8values.github.io/results.html?e=75.0&d=45.6&g=60.3&s=81.6

https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=-4.88&soc=-4.31

While my sig is mostly jest, and I do not want to harm those who are tankies, let me say this: If you’re the type to talk about “fash” or “bashing the fash” yet refuse to criticise the crimes of Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao, then you need to take a long, hard fucking look at yourself. Because you ARE the thing you want to “bash”, even if you dress it up in a different skin.

I'm having the same issue w/ my numbers. I multiplied them by ten, and I don't know if I should've multiplied by twenty or thirty, or do that strategy of lessening the numbers a bit?

You just need to add a few more things.

And one question: Does the Bonnie Blue Republic see itself as a new confederacy (Confederate States of America), or?

[Do Not Remove - AKSAI]

NS Name: Hypercapital
RP Name: L'Ordre quebecois (french), The Quebecois Order (English, official), Quebec (informal)

Capitol: Lavalmontreal
Territory: Bassaint-Laurent, Nationale-Capitale (Renamed to 'Charlevoix'),Chaudiere-Appalaches,Estrie, Monteregie, Centre-Du-Quebec, Lavalmontreal (merger of "Laval" and Montreal," also serves as an autonomous area and the capitol.), Newfoundland-Labrador, St. Pierre, Aerican Empire (added, because remember, microstates and micronations exist)
Population: 81.8 (81,800) million
Type of Government: Unitary Democratic Republic (both Democrat and Republican values, and not just a "Democracy" or "Republic," A "democracy" implies voting/free elections, and a "republic" implies that said country's not Monarchist, also)
Government Explanation: A democratic republic under a Premiership, a Premier is the Quebecer equivalent of a "President" and the Vice-Premier is the Quebecer equivalent of a "Vice President" or "Prime Minister." Quebec has a Parliament (its equivalent of the US Congress, though smaller. Twentyseven PMs (Parliamentary Members) may sit/be a part of the Quebecois Parliament). Quebec isn't an Order in name only, it sees itself as trying to reestablish Justice, Fair values, and Security for all of its citizens. Quebec acknowledges the failed ideologies of Unionism and Federalism, and instead operates/functions as a unitary state, not giving any bias or dividing itself into several smaller regions/departments.

Leader(s): Jan Gauthier (Premier), Brad Guidry (Vice-Premier)
Image(s) of Leader(s):


Party or Coalition in Power: Fête québécoise gratuite (french) ("Free quebecois Party," in English)
Executive Title: "Premier"
State Ideology: Quebec's ideology (the country itself, not the politicians in power) is largely a response to both Shannonism and Kruschism. Quebec, itself, is anticentrist, anti-Canadian (or atleast, against the Canadian Commonwealth/Dominion of Canada and its beliefs/ideals/policies), Quebecer Nationalism (a remnant of the old Quebec), and anti-Quebec (the old 'province of Quebec' and its ideals, this "New" Quebec largely seeks to reinvent Quebec and its beliefs/values/ideals, and not use its French past as a crutch). Some of the old Quebec's ideologies and beliefs lingered, though. "Centrism," in Quebec is seen as a dirty word or slur, much like "Communism-Socialism" was to the US, although both Shannonism and Kruschism had Globalist and Radical Centrist beliefs. Quebec seeks and strives to not imitate or repeat the old, failed, doomed ways of the United States, Canada, and the old Quebec. And, much like the way the gov't works, Quebec sees/styles/fashions itself as an "Order," though not in name only, but to establish and keep justice, fair values, and security.

When it comes to foreign relations, Quebec takes Realpolitik/Roundhouse Politics/Gunboat Diplomacy-type stances/ Teddy Roosevelt "Speak quietly and hold a large stick"-type stances, and also, in some fashions/ways/areas, Quebec strives to 'prove itself' to other countries.

Ideology-wise, there's also a soft hatred/disrespect for Louisiana and Acadiana (seeing as historically, Louisianians and Acadianians developed/evolved from Quebec/Acadia when after the British/English seized Canada after the Seven Years War and forced them to convert, though they didn't want to convert to the British Empire's religion, so they fled into Louisiana.), for many reasons, not just historical, but also being a failed state/rump state under the US and formerly under the CSA/Southern Confederacy. Quebec generally tries to distance themselves from Louisiana-Acadiana for these reasons.

The politicians-in-power are of the "Fete quebecois gratuite" Majority, a political party/movement that styles itself as a "big tent" group for all Leftists (though obviously not far-leftists like DemSoc, SocDem, Champagne Socialists, Communist-Socialists and so on), Liberals, and Technocrats. They envision Quebec as a meritocratic order that's "socially-positive," economically stable, and progressive, though not the flawed "Progressivism" of Kruschism. Some members of the Free quebecois Party may/may not hold Anti-American beliefs (seeing America as a democracy-in-name only, as a regressive warmongering theocratic empire.)




Ethnicity Breakdown:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Metis_Red.svg/200px-Metis_Red.svg.png (Metis flag, indigenous/Amerindian/tribal peoples that're mixed)

It's hard to figure out one's ethnicity, nowadays, though it's assumed or guessed that the peoples inhabiting and coexisting in Quebec would have some descent from the Irish, French, and "First Nations," there, though Canada and Quebec were also "melting pots," leading to fascinating ethnic and ancestral results. One'd also have to take into account Americanization and Anglization, also. French and the French ways-of-life were protected for a long time, in Quebec's past. Alot of assault, ridicule, and persecution or imagined ridicule led to the French and French-descended Quebecois to have/pursue top quality treatment and top priority. One could say they were almost a "protected class" or "protected peoples."

Quebecois French became its own dialect/creole/pigeon tongue, standing out from Parisian/Metropolitan/European French in so many ways, and with mixture from immigration and migration, Quebecois became a gumbo of sorts, taking loanwords from Canadized/Canadian-ified dialects and even Canadian English (which also was a mish-mash of American and British English). Not to mention Newfie English, which sounded odd to the listener. (though this is because Newfoundlanders are derived from Irish, and the Irish were known for having fascinating accents.)

http://shop.flagshop.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/f/l/flag-canada-rep-newfoundland.gif (The old Newfie flag)

Newfies couldn't figure out a flag that adequately represented them, as they had a similar flag debacle to Canada, though they wanted to keep the pink-white-green colors. The old Newfie flag, along with other flags with those three colors can be seen and flown in/around/near Quebec.


Religion Breakdown:

Agnostics, Atheists, and Irreligious, but also Amerindian religions and customs. The traditionally-Catholic Quebec of old died out, not because of "wanting to resist or reject the old ways," but because more and more Quebecois became Atheistic, or largely "spiritual but not religious," in some cases. Also note that Islam's banned in Quebec, stemming from anti-Islam rhetoric from long ago. Some quebecois may identify as "Catholic" in name only, or because of familial/ancestral reasons. Also take into account "Catholic Atheism," or being Atheist but still having the Catholic culture.

Flag:


Three flags are used, because, again, they didn't know which out of all three to use as the national/official flag. You'd see these everywhere, though the second banner isn't flown that much. The 'original' flags fell into disuse because of associations with the old regime (both the old Quebec and the old Canada), which Quebecois generally try to avoid nowadays.

The first flag's symbolism is; Red (Rouge) for Resilience, White (Blanc) for Wisdom and not repeating the same mistakes, the Cross represents Unity/free-flowing energies, and the Fleur-de-lis represent Time/Infinity, as flowers wither away but also new ones arise from seeds and begin sprouting.

The second and third flags' symbolism are: Blue for Hope, White for Courage, and the leaf for Change. The third-and-last flag's stylized.

National Animal: Swans, doves, and generally white birds except the common birds like seagulls, pigeons, or pelicans. Those types of white birds became Quebecois' symbols, though not the Pelican as Quebecers try to distance themselves from the French/Louisianian parts of their past, not just the old regime(s), also.
National Anthem: quebec has no National Anthem but several Classical and EDM (Electronic Dance Music) or instrumental songs are played in its place, however.
National Motto: "Born under the lilies" (English) "Née sous les lis" (french)
Demonym: Quebecois, Quebecer
Map Color: Purple/Eggplant

Public Goals: Reacquiring Northeast Quebec (Nord-du-Quebec, Cotenord, Saguenay-lac-St Jean, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Anse-Saint-Jean,_Quebec#Le_Royaume_de_L'Anse-Saint-Jean (Le Royaume de L'Anse-St Jean), Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Outaouais, Laurentides,Lanaudiere), finding allies, economic/trade partners, stamping out the last remnants/vestiges of Shannonism and Kruschism
Private Goals: N/A. (Most 'private goals' and issues are party/movement goals and issues, like "Preserving Democracy," etc, etc.) [optional]

Military name: Quebecois Defense Core
Military branches: Cyberforces (Hackers and generally anyone/anything dealing w/ Cyber Warfare), Aeronautics (both an Airforce and Spaceforce), and Quebecois Riflemen, though the Riflemen are divided between army soldiers, and soldiers that act like a gendarmarie or mix between SWAT and the Marines and SpecOps. There's also the Navy.

Breakdown of other branch(es): Cyberforces aren't just overglorified greyhat hackers, but are also basically anything and everything dealing with the Internet, Technology, and in some cases, coms, machinery and medical (cybernetics/prosthetics).
Extra military information:

The Quebecois Armedforces is the way it is, because of its history, also because it took influence from France's GIGN and other "successful" military forces. Past administrations have ran on upping the manpower, taking some inspiration from the US' military numbers, but also because of foreseeable threats in/around North America. There's also some influence from the third-world, for reasons (Thirdworld countries have holdout weapons, meaning that the war/fight's not about accuracy, etc and whatever, but about attrition and lasting longer).

Glocks are trusty weapons, and see usage everywhere in the Quebecois Armedforces, but mostly in the hands of a Blackjacket or Cyberforcer. Cyberforces, because of their nature, use small arms like knives, shotguns, SMGs, and pistols/pistollas (smaller pistols), and this also causes them to work alongside Blackjackets, though also because of their role, they work with essentially every branch - but again, moreso the 'jackets.

The Quebecois Armedforces can keep up with some nations, as due to technocratic/futurist/accelerationist rhetoric, they have some recent tech, but still use holdovers and stuffs from the 2000s-2020s, as the soldiers see that equipment as "faithful" and "reliable."

"I would rather die on my feet, than serve on my knees" is the Quebecois Defense Core's motto, also, QDC Airforce don't have their own flag(s).

Naval Jacks have no meaning or symbology other than the age-old use of telling ships apart.

QDC's Aeronautics is/are inspired by the US' ideas of a "Spaceforce," "Space Command," President Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" and several American space agencies.

Groundforces of the QDC: (Quebecois Riflemen & Cyberforces)

Airforce of the QDC: (Quebecois Aeronautics)

Navy of the QDC: (Quebecois Navy)



GDP:
The Quebecois Order's GDP is 4,726,160 USD

GDP per Capita: 115,627 USD

Currency: Quebecois Gen (Taking some influence from the Southkorean Won) The Gen are banknotes, similar to US dollar bills. Quebec also has coinage, the Quebecois July (Juliet), similar to the US Nickel or Quarter. Gen may come in bills of 10, 25, 55, and 110.
Currency and value of currency compared to CD (Cascadian Dollar): One QG = 97,920 CD, One QJ = 93.75 CD. (CD = 0.75)

Major Domestic Issues: Military and technological sectors/industries, and trying to stay updated,Health/Medical & Sciences, birthrates
Major Foreign Issues: New England to our Southwest (Ally or rival/enemy?)

History:
Many countries (India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Canada, etc) continuously collapses while armed conflict breaks out in the process.
Due to the Great Deterioration, and numerous other socioeconomic/sociopolitical issues, the autonomous province of Quebec "deteriorated" into Struggle and numerous militias and groups. Many Quebecois were unsatisfied with the Canadian-Quebecois status quo, the Bloc Quebecois, and the Christian-Catholic vice-like-grip they had on the Quebecois peoples. A state of unrest permeated Quebec and nearby regions/provinces. Quebecers generally wanted to break away from both Anglo and Franco ties, as Quebec basically was its own nation striving to form its own country or nationstate, a Quebec not held down by its French, Canadian, English histories. A Quebec that was just Quebecois, and not French, Catholic, or any other label/category.

Flag-burnings, riots, revolutions, and so on lingered in the Ex-Canadian Province, and Quebec swore, wished, and dedicated itself to being better. Being better than that. Being better than its past, its history, its past ties, relations and dynamics. Quebec, in its recent history (the Nineties) voted in a referendum to leave Canada, which can be compared to Brexit, and thought of as a proto-Brexit. The "Nons" and "Ouis" fought hard on their respective sides, and mass debating and talks took place, though in the end, the "Ouis" won out. But... Quebec was still unsatisfied. Unsatisfied with everything. Angst and anger, madness filled Quebecers and Pro-Independence activists. Many said and thought that the referendum was rigged.

Infighting took Quebec by-storm. Several Quebecois partisans waved bloodied Quebec flags, and some Quebec flags dyed red, possibly the origin of the Quebecois Orders' first flag. Newfoundland-Labrador stood in solidarity with Quebec, and Quebecers vowed for a new Order. A new state, unbowed. A new state, unbroken. A new unwavering state. A new state unsullied by the past, by History. Quebecers had a sour taste in their mouths, knowing that Republics rose and fell, and several of them weren't truly Republican or Democratic. Those several were dictatorships, oligarchies, and so on. Quebecers wanted a truly Democratic Quebec. A quebec that stood for Justice, Fair values, and Security.

This led to the "Quebecois Order" being a brainchild in so many. They knew that this Order would prevail. They hoped and wanted this quebec to stand and thrive throughout the ages. Quebec wasn't unscathed, though it could be better. Many denizens of Quebec stood up and against Centrism, and the new ideologies of Shannonism and Kruschism. These empowered Quebecers reclaimed Northwest Quebec, fighting the good fight against the "Establishment Quebecois," with the Newfies and the Labs fighting alongside.

"We are not the Elite Quebecois! We are not the Establishment! We are not Canadian! We are... something different!" became the rallying cry for many Pro-Quebecois Order supporters and soldiers. Other battle-cries and wails rung in Quebecois cities alongst the Northwest, and the two cities that'd eventually become one. "Stand against the tyranny of the Maple Leaf," some cheered, also.

Some time later, the "Order quebecois" was formed. The Order, or Democratic Republic began immediately holding elections for its Interim head-of-state. The title of Quebec's HOS was decided to be "Premier," as "President" and "Prime Minister" were considered taboo titles. Titles that Quebecois looked down upon for historical reasons. Many political parties formed, came, and went. As that was natural selection. Quebecois hated the two-party-plus system of Canada, so they used the duopoly system of the US. Many parties are mixed or divided, and aren't just one ideology or issue. The Free Quebecois Party and the Justice Party became Quebec's new parties.

Overtime, the Quebecois Order grew into itself, and the growing pains were no more. Quebec had its national pride, symbols, etc and other marks of a country. Quebec's national motto is "Born under the lilies," since many allusions to flora and fauna (mainly flowers and white birds) were made in the Quebecois Order's history. Quebec's nickname is also "the Flower State."

Premiers and administrations came-and-went 'til George Lebleu's administration. Jan Gauthier of the Free Quebecois Party and other FQP presidential hopefuls ran against him, though Jan won. The Justice Party was unified under Lebleu and his rhetoric, whilst other FQP hopefuls had differing visions for Quebec. Lebleu, before becoming the incumbent, and becoming Premier, was a construction worker. Jan was a girl of many different trades, though a very hardworking and studious sort. Before being Jan's pick for VP, Brad Guidry worked for Gauthier's campaign, and before that, Guidry was a teacher.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Flag_of_Saint-Pierre_and_Miquelon.svg

"...and France, where the Fifth Republic had eventually collapsed as the French military formed a provisional government..."


In-between Quebec's recent and past histories, was St Pierre. St Pierre was a former part of the French Republic. France, in-turn, was a major member of the European Union. St. Pierre's history confuses some. In the anarchy, and absence of France and the EU, Quebec scooped up St. Pierre, and St. Pierre, overtime, adjusted to Quebec's culture, beliefs, and so on.

(Laval, Lavalmontreal, and Quebec City/Quebecity)

https://www.deviantart.com/aliensquid/art/Alt-Flag-Laval-518612345

Note that some time, the partisans and founders'd done away w/ Quebec City, saying that it represented the Elite and Establishment's control of Quebec and its peoples/politics. Montreal was Quebec's equivalent to New York City (the cultural epicenter), so it was decided in the future to combine Laval (the administrative city and area) w/ Montreal to form a new capitol, one without any old influences or markers. The area that Quebecity was in, got renamed to Charlevoix, and most documents were preserved and placed in Lavalmontreal. Montreal's flag looked like the second Quebecois flag, so it also got flown w/ and around it, and to also represent the Quebecois Order. It made sense, seeing as/that it's basically a stylized version of the second.

Jan and her administration didn't have many scandals, even with her sister Aren being picked as a member of Gauthier's cabinet. Some assumed it was Nepotism, though this was false; the pickings were strictly meritocratic in nature. Aren was an accountant before being a CM (Cabinet Member), and did very well with Money, Economics and all things related to Mathematics.

Despite everything, Quebec seems to be set in the right path, the path of having a bright future.

RP Example: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=482636&start=25 (Aftermath, "Roll of The Dice")


(1) Hopefully my Math's not screwed up.
(2) Yes, I did use stock images. I quite like them and I find them rather useful.
(3) Kruschism reminds me of a similar-sounding ideology/subset of Russian Communism, and a former-Soviet leader.
(4) Would "Covfefe" be/end-up as the new "Excelsior?" I'm surprised no one put that as their country's motto. :p :lol:
(5) It's weird that Quebec's motto is "I remember," and there's a song by deadmau5 called "I Remember." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK1mLIeXwsQ
(6) When are elections, and when would they take place? I'd like to go more in-depth with both the Justice Party and the Free [q]uebecois Party's ideologies/beliefs. I was thinking of Social Credit and other Cashless systems being a talking-point/talking-points for the Justicists (Justice Party members are called "Justicists") . I'd like to think that ideologies from the Great Depression would still be around in North America and certain parts of the world. (Technocracy, Socred, and so on) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_Party_of_Canada (English/anglais version) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralliement_cr%C3%A9ditiste_du_Qu%C3%A9bec (French/francais version)
(7) Technocracy and other obscure/"irrelevant" ideologies need their time to shine, too!
(8) The Justice and Free [q]uebecois parties, I'd like to see them as post-left and post-right (in some cases).
(9) The Great Depression seriously had some great ideologies and subsets of those ideologies, and also the Roosevelt era (with the Bullmoose Party and stuff). (Longism, Technocracy, Socred, etc) (Technocracy itself can be split into subsets, like Anarcho-Transhumanism, Technocratic Republicanism, and Pure Technocracy)

You just need to add a few more things.

And one question: Does the Bonnie Blue Republic see itself as a new confederacy (Confederate States of America), or?



A lot of similarities with the CSA can’t be helped but the BBR does try to distance itself from the idea of it being a neo-confederacy. But like I said a lot of it can’t be helped, the flag and national anthem originate from the civil war and Southern Pride is a major staple of the Republic.

[Do Not Remove - AKSAI]

NS Name: Hypercapital
RP Name: L'Ordre quebecois (french), The Quebecois Order (English, official), Quebec (informal)

Capitol: Lavalmontreal
Territory: Bassaint-Laurent, Nationale-Capitale (Renamed to 'Charlevoix'),Chaudiere-Appalaches,Estrie, Monteregie, Centre-Du-Quebec, Lavalmontreal (merger of "Laval" and Montreal," also serves as an autonomous area and the capitol.), Newfoundland-Labrador, St. Pierre
Population: 81.8 (81,800) million
Type of Government: Unitary Democratic Republic (both Democrat and Republican values, and not just a "Democracy" or "Republic," A "democracy" implies voting/free elections, and a "republic" implies that said country's not Monarchist, also)
Government Explanation: A democratic republic under a Premiership, a Premier is the Quebecer equivalent of a "President" and the Vice-Premier is the Quebecer equivalent of a "Vice President" or "Prime Minister." Quebec has a Parliament (its equivalent of the US Congress, though smaller. Twentyseven PMs (Parliamentary Members) may sit/be a part of the Quebecois Parliament). Quebec isn't an Order in name only, it sees itself as trying to reestablish Justice, Fair values, and Security for all of its citizens. Quebec acknowledges the failed ideologies of Unionism and Federalism, and instead operates/functions as a unitary state, not giving any bias or dividing itself into several smaller regions/departments.

Leader(s): Jan Gauthier (Premier), Brad Guidry (Vice-Premier)
Image(s) of Leader(s):


Party or Coalition in Power: Fête québécoise gratuite (french) ("Free quebecois Party," in English)
Executive Title: "Premier"
State Ideology: Quebec's ideology (the country itself, not the politicians in power) is largely a response to both Shannonism and Kruschism. Quebec, itself, is anticentrist, anti-Canadian (or atleast, against the Canadian Commonwealth/Dominion of Canada and its beliefs/ideals/policies), Quebecer Nationalism (a remnant of the old Quebec), and anti-Quebec (the old 'province of Quebec' and its ideals, this "New" Quebec largely seeks to reinvent Quebec and its beliefs/values/ideals, and not use its French past as a crutch). Some of the old Quebec's ideologies and beliefs lingered, though. "Centrism," in Quebec is seen as a dirty word or slur, much like "Communism-Socialism" was to the US, although both Shannonism and Kruschism had Globalist and Radical Centrist beliefs. Quebec seeks and strives to not imitate or repeat the old, failed, doomed ways of the United States, Canada, and the old Quebec. And, much like the way the gov't works, Quebec sees/styles/fashions itself as an "Order," though not in name only, but to establish and keep justice, fair values, and security.

When it comes to foreign relations, Quebec takes Realpolitik/Roundhouse Politics/Gunboat Diplomacy-type stances/ Teddy Roosevelt "Speak quietly and hold a large stick"-type stances, and also, in some fashions/ways/areas, Quebec strives to 'prove itself' to other countries.

Ideology-wise, there's also a soft hatred/disrespect for Louisiana and Acadiana (seeing as historically, Louisianians and Acadianians developed/evolved from Quebec/Acadia when after the British/English seized Canada after the Seven Years War and forced them to convert, though they didn't want to convert to the British Empire's religion, so they fled into Louisiana.), for many reasons, not just historical, but also being a failed state/rump state under the US and formerly under the CSA/Southern Confederacy. Quebec generally tries to distance themselves from Louisiana-Acadiana for these reasons.

The politicians-in-power are of the "Fete quebecois gratuite" Majority, a political party/movement that styles itself as a "big tent" group for all Leftists (though obviously not far-leftists like DemSoc, SocDem, Champagne Socialists, Communist-Socialists and so on), Liberals, and Technocrats. They envision Quebec as a meritocratic order that's "socially-positive," economically stable, and progressive, though not the flawed "Progressivism" of Kruschism. Some members of the Free quebecois Party may/may not hold Anti-American beliefs (seeing America as a democracy-in-name only, as a regressive warmongering theocratic empire.)




Ethnicity Breakdown:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Metis_Red.svg/200px-Metis_Red.svg.png (Metis flag, indigenous/Amerindian/tribal peoples that're mixed)

It's hard to figure out one's ethnicity, nowadays, though it's assumed or guessed that the peoples inhabiting and coexisting in Quebec would have some descent from the Irish, French, and "First Nations," there, though Canada and Quebec were also "melting pots," leading to fascinating ethnic and ancestral results. One'd also have to take into account Americanization and Anglization, also. French and the French ways-of-life were protected for a long time, in Quebec's past. Alot of assault, ridicule, and persecution or imagined ridicule led to the French and French-descended Quebecois to have/pursue top quality treatment and top priority. One could say they were almost a "protected class" or "protected peoples."

Quebecois French became its own dialect/creole/pigeon tongue, standing out from Parisian/Metropolitan/European French in so many ways, and with mixture from immigration and migration, Quebecois became a gumbo of sorts, taking loanwords from Canadized/Canadian-ified dialects and even Canadian English (which also was a mish-mash of American and British English). Not to mention Newfie English, which sounded odd to the listener. (though this is because Newfoundlanders are derived from Irish, and the Irish were known for having fascinating accents.)

http://shop.flagshop.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/f/l/flag-canada-rep-newfoundland.gif (The old Newfie flag)

Newfies couldn't figure out a flag that adequately represented them, as they had a similar flag debacle to Canada, though they wanted to keep the pink-white-green colors. The old Newfie flag, along with other flags with those three colors can be seen and flown in/around/near Quebec.


Religion Breakdown:

Agnostics, Atheists, and Irreligious, but also Amerindian religions and customs. The traditionally-Catholic Quebec of old died out, not because of "wanting to resist or reject the old ways," but because more and more Quebecois became Atheistic, or largely "spiritual but not religious," in some cases. Also note that Islam's banned in Quebec, stemming from anti-Islam rhetoric from long ago. Some quebecois may identify as "Catholic" in name only, or because of familial/ancestral reasons. Also take into account "Catholic Atheism," or being Atheist but still having the Catholic culture.

Flag:


Three flags are used, because, again, they didn't know which out of all three to use as the national/official flag. You'd see these everywhere, though the second banner isn't flown that much. The 'original' flags fell into disuse because of associations with the old regime (both the old Quebec and the old Canada), which Quebecois generally try to avoid nowadays.

The first flag's symbolism is; Red (Rouge) for Resilience, White (Blanc) for Wisdom and not repeating the same mistakes, the Cross represents Unity/free-flowing energies, and the Fleur-de-lis represent Time/Infinity, as flowers wither away but also new ones arise from seeds and begin sprouting.

The second and third flags' symbolism are: Blue for Hope, White for Courage, and the leaf for Change. The third-and-last flag's stylized.

National Animal: Swans, doves, and generally white birds except the common birds like seagulls, pigeons, or pelicans. Those types of white birds became Quebecois' symbols, though not the Pelican as Quebecers try to distance themselves from the French/Louisianian parts of their past, not just the old regime(s), also.
National Anthem: quebec has no National Anthem but several Classical and EDM (Electronic Dance Music) or instrumental songs are played in its place, however.
National Motto: "Born under the lilies" (English) "Née sous les lis" (french)
Demonym: Quebecois, Quebecer
Map Color: Purple/Eggplant

Public Goals: Reacquiring Northeast Quebec (Nord-du-Quebec, Cotenord, Saguenay-lac-St Jean, Abitibi-Temiscamingue, Outaouais, Laurentides,Lanaudiere), finding allies, economic/trade partners, stamping out the last remnants/vestiges of Shannonism and Kruschism
Private Goals: N/A. (Most 'private goals' and issues are party/movement goals and issues, like "Preserving Democracy," etc, etc.) [optional]

Military name: Quebecois Defense Core
Military branches: Cyberforces (Hackers and generally anyone/anything dealing w/ Cyber Warfare), Aeronautics (both an Airforce and Spaceforce), and Quebecois Riflemen, though the Riflemen are divided between army soldiers, and soldiers that act like a gendarmarie or mix between SWAT and the Marines and SpecOps. There's also the Navy.

Breakdown of other branch(es): Cyberforces aren't just overglorified greyhat hackers, but are also basically anything and everything dealing with the Internet, Technology, and in some cases, coms, machinery and medical (cybernetics/prosthetics).
Extra military information:

The Quebecois Armedforces is the way it is, because of its history, also because it took influence from France's GIGN and other "successful" military forces. Past administrations have ran on upping the manpower, taking some inspiration from the US' military numbers, but also because of foreseeable threats in/around North America. There's also some influence from the third-world, for reasons (Thirdworld countries have holdout weapons, meaning that the war/fight's not about accuracy, etc and whatever, but about attrition and lasting longer).

Glocks are trusty weapons, and see usage everywhere in the Quebecois Armedforces, but mostly in the hands of a Blackjacket or Cyberforcer. Cyberforces, because of their nature, use small arms like knives, shotguns, SMGs, and pistols/pistollas (smaller pistols), and this also causes them to work alongside Blackjackets, though also because of their role, they work with essentially every branch - but again, moreso the 'jackets.

The Quebecois Armedforces can keep up with some nations, as due to technocratic/futurist/accelerationist rhetoric, they have some recent tech, but still use holdovers and stuffs from the 2000s-2020s, as the soldiers see that equipment as "faithful" and "reliable."

"I would rather die on my feet, than serve on my knees" is the Quebecois Defense Core's motto, also, QDC Airforce don't have their own flag(s).

QDC's Aeronautics is/are inspired by the US' ideas of a "Spaceforce," "Space Command," President Ronald Reagan's "Star Wars" and several American space agencies.

Groundforces of the QDC: (Quebecois Riflemen & Cyberforces)

Airforce of the QDC: (Quebecois Aeronautics)

Navy of the QDC: (Quebecois Navy)



GDP:
The Quebecois Order's GDP is 4,726,160 USD

GDP per Capita: 115,627 USD

Currency: Quebecois Gen (Taking some influence from the Southkorean Won) The Gen are banknotes, similar to US dollars. Quebec also has coinage, the Quebecois July (Juliet), similar to the US Nickel or Quarter. Gen may come in bills of 10, 25, 55, and 110. Also note that economical standards (like the US' Gold Standard) have been made.
Currency and value of currency compared to USD: One QG = 73,440 USD, One QJ = 1.25 USD.

Major Domestic Issues: Military and technological sectors/industries, and trying to stay updated,Health/Medical & Sciences
Major Foreign Issues: New England to our Southwest (Ally or rival/enemy?)

History:
Many countries (India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, Canada, etc) continuously collapses while armed conflict breaks out in the process.
Due to the Great Deterioration, and numerous other socioeconomic/sociopolitical issues, the autonomous province of Quebec "deteriorated" into Struggle and numerous militias and groups. Many Quebecois were unsatisfied with the Canadian-Quebecois status quo, the Bloc Quebecois, and the Christian-Catholic vice-like-grip they had on the Quebecois peoples. A state of unrest permeated Quebec and nearby regions/provinces. Quebecers generally wanted to break away from both Anglo and Franco ties, as Quebec basically was its own nation striving to form its own country or nationstate, a Quebec not held down by its French, Canadian, English histories. A Quebec that was just Quebecois, and not French, Catholic, or any other label/category.

Flag-burnings, riots, revolutions, and so on lingered in the Ex-Canadian Province, and Quebec swore, wished, and dedicated itself to being better. Being better than that. Being better than its past, its history, its past ties, relations and dynamics. Quebec, in its recent history (the Nineties) voted in a referendum to leave Canada, which can be compared to Brexit, and thought of as a proto-Brexit. The "Nons" and "Ouis" fought hard on their respective sides, and mass debating and talks took place, though in the end, the "Ouis" won out. But... Quebec was still unsatisfied. Unsatisfied with everything. Angst and anger, madness filled Quebecers and Pro-Independence activists. Many said and thought that the referendum was rigged.

Infighting took Quebec by-storm. Several Quebecois partisans waved bloodied Quebec flags, and some Quebec flags dyed red, possibly the origin of the Quebecois Orders' first flag. Newfoundland-Labrador stood in solidarity with Quebec, and Quebecers vowed for a new Order. A new state, unbowed. A new state, unbroken. A new unwavering state. A new state unsullied by the past, by History. Quebecers had a sour taste in their mouths, knowing that Republics rose and fell, and several of them weren't truly Republican or Democratic. Those several were dictatorships, oligarchies, and so on. Quebecers wanted a truly Democratic Quebec. A quebec that stood for Justice, Fair values, and Security.

This led to the "Quebecois Order" being a brainchild in so many. They knew that this Order would prevail. They hoped and wanted this quebec to stand and thrive throughout the ages. Quebec wasn't unscathed, though it could be better. Many denizens of Quebec stood up and against Centrism, and the new ideologies of Shannonism and Kruschism. These empowered Quebecers reclaimed Northwest Quebec, fighting the good fight against the "Establishment Quebecois," with the Newfies and the Labs fighting alongside.

"We are not the Elite Quebecois! We are not the Establishment! We are not Canadian! We are... something different!" became the rallying cry for many Pro-Quebecois Order supporters and soldiers. Other battle-cries and wails rung in Quebecois cities alongst the Northwest, and the two cities that'd eventually become one. "Stand against the tyranny of the Maple Leaf," some cheered, also.

Some time later, the "Order quebecois" was formed. The Order, or Democratic Republic began immediately holding elections for its Interim head-of-state. The title of Quebec's HOS was decided to be "Premier," as "President" and "Prime Minister" were considered taboo titles. Titles that Quebecois looked down upon for historical reasons. Many political parties formed, came, and went. As that was natural selection. Quebecois hated the two-party-plus system of Canada, so they used the duopoly system of the US. Many parties are mixed or divided, and aren't just one ideology or issue. The Free Quebecois Party and the Justice Party became Quebec's new parties.

Overtime, the Quebecois Order grew into itself, and the growing pains were no more. Quebec had its national pride, symbols, etc and other marks of a country. Quebec's national motto is "Born under the lilies," since many allusions to flora and fauna (mainly flowers and white birds) were made in the Quebecois Order's history. Quebec's nickname is also "the Flower State."

Premiers and administrations came-and-went 'til George Lebleu's administration. Jan Gauthier of the Free Quebecois Party and other FQP presidential hopefuls ran against him, though Jan won. The Justice Party was unified under Lebleu and his rhetoric, whilst other FQP hopefuls had differing visions for Quebec. Lebleu, before becoming the incumbent, and becoming Premier, was a construction worker. Jan was a girl of many different trades, though a very hardworking and studious sort. Before being Jan's pick for VP, Brad Guidry worked for Gauthier's campaign, and before that, Guidry was a teacher.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Saint_Pierre_and_Miquelon#/media/File:Flag_of_Saint-Pierre_and_Miquelon.svg

"...and France, where the Fifth Republic had eventually collapsed as the French military formed a provisional government..."


In-between Quebec's recent and past histories, was St Pierre. St Pierre was a former part of the French Republic. France, in-turn, was a major member of the European Union. St. Pierre's history confuses some. In the anarchy, and absence of France and the EU, Quebec scooped up St. Pierre, and St. Pierre, overtime, adjusted to Quebec's culture, beliefs, and so on.

(Laval, Lavalmontreal, and Quebec City/Quebecity)

https://www.deviantart.com/aliensquid/art/Alt-Flag-Laval-518612345

Note that some time, the partisans and founders'd done away w/ Quebec City, saying that it represented the Elite and Establishment's control of Quebec and its peoples/politics. Montreal was Quebec's equivalent to New York City (the cultural epicenter), so it was decided in the future to combine Laval (the administrative city and area) w/ Montreal to form a new capitol, one without any old influences or markers. The area that Quebecity was in, got renamed to Charlevoix, and most documents were preserved and placed in Lavalmontreal. Montreal's flag looked like the second Quebecois flag, so it also got flown w/ and around it, and to also represent the Quebecois Order. It made sense, seeing as/that it's basically a stylized version of the second.

https://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/althistory/images/f/f4/Flag_of_Montreal_(No_Napoleon).svg/revision/latest?cb=20120513021903


Jan and her administration didn't have many scandals, even with her sister Aren being picked as a member of Gauthier's cabinet. Some assumed it was Nepotism, though this was false; the pickings were strictly meritocratic in nature. Aren was an accountant before being a CM (Cabinet Member), and did very well with Money, Economics and all things related to Mathematics.

https://st.depositphotos.com/1012434/4749/i/950/depositphotos_47494901-stock-photo-beautiful-woman-in-black-dress.jpg (Aren Gauthier)

Despite everything, Quebec seems to be set in the right path, the path of having a bright future.

(1) Hopefully my Math's not screwed up.
(2) Yes, I did use stock images. I quite like them and I find them rather useful.
(3) Kruschism reminds me of a similar-sounding ideology/subset of Russian Communism, and a former-Soviet leader.
(4) Would "Covfefe" be/end-up as the new "Excelsior?" I'm surprised no one put that as their country's motto. :p :lol:
(5) It's weird that Quebec's motto is "I remember," and there's a song by deadmau5 called "I Remember." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK1mLIeXwsQ
(6) When are elections, and when would they take place? I'd like to go more in-depth with both the Justice Party and the Free [q]uebecois Party's ideologies/beliefs. I was thinking of Social Credit and other Cashless systems being a talking-point/talking-points for the Justicists (Justice Party members are called "Justicists") . I'd like to think that ideologies from the Great Depression would still be around in North America and certain parts of the world.

(7) Technocracy and other obscure/"irrelevant" ideologies need their time to shine, too!
(8) The Justice and Free [q]uebecois parties, I'd like to see them as post-left and post-right (in some cases).
(9) The Great Depression seriously had some great ideologies and subsets of those ideologies, and also the Roosevelt era (with the Bullmoose Party and stuff). (Longism, Technocracy, Socred, etc) (Technocracy itself can be split into subsets, like Anarcho-Transhumanism, Technocratic Republicanism, and Pure Technocracy)



I do believe your GDP per capita is a bit high, my opinion of course, but you only really see that kinda figure with really small nations like Liechtenstein and Monaco

I do believe your GDP per capita is a bit high, my opinion of course, but you only really see that kinda figure with really small nations like Liechtenstein and Monaco


True. I added Quebec and Newfoundland-Labrador's together. There should be a way to lower it, so it wouldn't be that number, but I'm not sure how.

To get your GDP per capita, divide the GDP of your country by the number of people within it.

I still want to know how you got a GDP of 4.4 trillion however.. Looks okay.

Also, Hypercapital - your population should be lower. Obviously take into account population growth, but you should be able to make a reasonable estimate.

Here - this is my political orientation, for anyone who wishes to know: https://8values.github.io/results.html?e=75.0&d=45.6&g=60.3&s=81.6

While my sig is mostly jest, and I do not want to harm those who are tankies, let me say this: If you’re the type to talk about “fash” or “bashing the fash” yet refuse to criticise the crimes of Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao, then you need to take a long, hard fucking look at yourself. Because you ARE the thing you want to “bash”, even if you dress it up in a different skin.
