Picklesine, officially the Republic of Picklesine, was the largest Republic in the West River Confederation by land area and by population. It was admitted into the Confederation on 10 October 2020 along with Logastan and Ellisine, and is named for Benjamin Pickles, one of the founders of the West River Confederation. Situated just east of the Nith River in Ontario, the region was just over 1 kilometre in land area. The republic dissolved in October 2021 when West River dissolved.
Etymology
The name Picklesine derived from the Benjastanian word "ine", meaning "land", and Pickles, the last name of Benjamin Pickles, one of the two founders of the West River Confederation. The name translated directly to "Picklesland".
