Okay edited. Better?
Almost perfect, I just need a further clarification about the army numbers because I'm not certain. Do you mean to say that you have a semi-volunteer official military numbering 500,000 men, and besides from that an extra irregular force of about 600,000 men?

I'd be loathe to grant you the actual Wehrmacht numbers considerin they were pretty specifically geared up for a war that was intended to get started by them so yeah, probably not that much indeed.

Military Description:
The Canadian Military is an amalgamation of domestic Canadian units and expatriate British formations. This came about after the Fall of Britain in late 1927. Many loyal formations retreated to Canada along with much of the Military and Political elite. Generally the Canadian units are led by Canadians and vice versa. At the upper echelons (Imperial Defense Ministry, Chiefs of Staff Committee) the composition is mixed Canadian and British. Exceptions to this are in the Navy for instance where senior officers and the admiralty are almost exclusively British expats. In 1937 the Army stands at a strength of 75,000 active regulars and 225,000 reserves. The Army is organized into 2 Corps, the Canadian Corps and British & Imperial Corps. Each Corps has a number of Divisions, these are activated during wartime but underneath them are active Brigades and smaller formations. The active force is organized as follows:

Equipment:The Army is mostly equipped with legacy equipment dating from the Great war and the 1920s. Standard issue small arms include the SMLE No.1 Mk III and M1911. The Army still widely uses the Vickers MG and Lewis Gun with limited numbers of M1919 Browning MGs. The Army severely lacked in artillery and AT capabilities, fielding weapons that are far obsolete. When the Royal Tank Corps left Britain for Canada only a few score Mk I and II Medium Tanks were able to be shipped before the fall of Britain.
Logistically the Canadian Army has sufficient capacity to produce arms and ordnance to equip its infantry force. However, the nation has clear deficiencies in its ability to manufacture and field large motorized or armored formations.
What the Canadian Army lacks in modern weapons or size it makes up for it in terms of experience. The current Canadian Army is the inheritor of a distinguished legacy performing exceptionally in the Great War and the War in the Raj. Canadian battalion still regularly see action in Africa defending loyal colonies from rebellious communist groups. Doctrinally the Army has come a long way since the Great War, experiences in India and Africa have reshaped their understanding of small unit tactics. Operationally the Army hasn’t found its footing as large-scale campaigns of maneuver and position have been largely absent. However, there are theorists that continue to work towards a modern operational approach. This notably includes JFC Fuller who presently leads the Royal Tank Corps.
Royal Navy:
After the fall of Britain, significant numbers of British ships sailed for north America. The miniscule Royal Canadian Navy was subsumed into the Royal Navy proper. The RN is currently composed of:7 Battleships-
• HMS Revenge
• HMS Warspite
• HMS Royal Oak
• HMS Queen Elizabeth
• HMS Barham
• HMS Malaya
• HMS Ramillies
4 Heavy Cruisers-
• HMS Cavendish
• HMS Hawkins
• HMS Frobisher
• HMS Effingham
18 Light Cruisers
67 Destroyers
While the Navy is large in terms of tonnage not every vessel can be put into service. Due to both manpower issues and budgetary limitations many vessels are mothballed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What remains operates in two Squadrons. One, the Bermuda Squadron polices the sea lanes leading to West Africa. And the St. John’s Squadron is based in Newfoundland, guarding the northern stretch of the Atlantic. The Royal Navy also fields 2 battalions of the Corps of Royal Marines.
Royal Canadian Air Force:The RCAF is by far the weakest pillar of the Canadian Military. The RCAF fielded a handful of aircraft during the Great War but in the 20s not much effort was put in to modernize or expand the air fleet. Aircraft numbers in 1927 were 12 Armstrong Whitworth Siskins and that was it. The fall of Britain did little to bolster the RCAF. The expat RAF forces that managed to make it to North America were few. While they were able to transfer a couple bombers and fighters the RCAF remains pitifully small and in 1937 not much has been done about it. Prospects for modernization will most likely be of foreign origin.

Economic Description:Since the end of the Great War through the 1920s Canada’s economy was rapidly expanding and industrializing. This severely hampered at the end of 1927 with the Fall of Britain and the fragmentation of the Empire. Losing the mother country as a trading partner was a severe blow and this was only magnified two years later with the great crash of ’29 in the US. The early 1930s were the roughest the economy has ever been. And in 1937 recovery is slow. But there are some reasons for optimism, the influx of émigrés and capital from Britain has been a boon for Canada. Canada is also endowed with a wealth of resources.
Canada still currently has high, but dropping, unemployment and trade is still somewhat depressed. Canada relies on the production of raw resources with large outputs of fishing and agriculture, iron ore and timber. Highly developed industries are present but not widespread. Production of useful consumer and industrial end items is dwarfed by its neighbor to the South and is still behind other developed economies. The capacity to produce for a major war is present but will take significant time and effort to put into place.
Goals:
Forge an alliance among the remaining liberal democracies. Restore the King and Parliament in Britain.
Point of Divergence:
1919
History:
Revolt in the RajCanada came out of 1918 a new country, a real country. It was horrified by the carnage on the Western Front, but it also forged its national character on places like Vimy Ridge. As the world entered 1919 Canada was optimistic. The relief of peace was short lived though, as the Jewel of the Empire was rocked by mutiny and rebellion. Reluctantly Canada committed to defend its fellow dominion and support Britain. For a further two years Canadian units fought on in vain as the communist faction marched towards victory. Canadian formations were among the last imperial forces to leave Calcutta.
On the home front the war became incredibly unpopular. Protests occurred across the country, but dissatisfaction was most prominent in Quebec. The Indian affair cost the governing Conservative party dearly in the next election, and the Liberals came to power.
Fall of BritainThe loss of India had far-reaching aftershocks across the empire. But none so severe as in Britain itself. The economy plummeted; strikes rocked the country. Discontent turned into upheaval, upheaval into rebellion. Canada was hesitant to go across the Atlantic once more. By the time they began to mobilize their troops. The communist revolutionaries were within London. On 14 November 1927, the Royal Family boarded Navy ships on the Thames and fled to North America. They were accompanied by high-ranking government and military officials, the Crown Jewels and as much of Britain’s gold reserves as could be moved. In the immediate wake of the red revolution, waves of Britons crossed to Canada. Aristocrats, captains of industry, the middle class, the religious, and people of all stripes fled the uncertainty and violence.
The loss of the mother country and the failure to act in time was a national shame in Canada and galvanized the people. Canadians, now the home to the King, vowed to reclaim Britain.
Economic Woes.See Economic Description
Current PoliticsThe Liberal Party holds a slim majority in Parliament over the Conservative-Restoration Party. The Liberal Party (LP) is generally pro-business, free trade, with modest economic intervention proposals. They are also more reticent to be involved overseas though are still committed to eventual repatriation of the Royal Family. The Conservative-Restoration Party (CRP) is socially conservative, protectionist, with some populist elements. They are the most hawkish on international matters and capture most of the expat vote.

Belize was already transferred in the map to the Central American States because Padanarem's reservation for Canada expired before he posted his app.

If I get accepted Canada would be open to transferring Belize to the CAS. A national plebiscite on independence and union with the CAS could be held in exchange for a free trade partnership between our two nations. Canada has to import all our sugar, bananas etc. after all.
