¹Government types varied for the individual governments of the Constituent Countries of New Canada. |
The States of New Canada is a large micronation formed in 2012 by Prince Jordan. New Canada is made up of several countries: Wisteria and Baijan, Dalton-Arika, Empire of Los Angeles, Kulland, Marsa, Merica and Hillsborough.
The countries of New Canada were still individual countries. However they shared a common government and set of laws that applied to each country. As well as this, all of the New Canadian countries shared the same currency, the Williamsian Pound. Since New Canada controlled the foreign affairs of each country in New Canada, they all shared a common set of Diplomatic Relations and all of the countries of New Canada used the New Canadian passport. The constituent countries each had their own army, navy and airforce. However, they were each sub-sections of the New Canadian Ministry of defense, along with the New Canadian central army, navy and airforce. New Canada was run like a confederation. The first New Canadian constitution was adopted on the 6th of July 2012. It was essentially a Sovereign Confederate Republic which granted its members greater cultural status as opposed to other Confederations or Unitary States.
History
The "New Canada" name had been used as early as 2006, when Zachary Vercetti founded a micronation in North America under the name "FR New Canada". Following a coup d'état it went defunct in 2008 and was no longer seen again. Little is known about this micronation, since the rulers had left MicroWikia in January 2008 during MicroWiki's TalliniEra (2006-2008) and there seems to be no connection between the old micronation and the micronation outlined in this article.
However this micronation happened when Williamsia was re-established on MicroWiki by Prince Jordan. However, there was little activity and most of the pages were of poor quality and no longer existed. To increase the activity of the Wiki, Prince Jordan sent requests of a micronational merger to several micronations, including the Democracy of Grum, Dalton (Now Dalton-Arika), and the Kingdom of Rosettia (now the Empire of Los Angeles). The latter two accepted, and formed a nebulous union.
Rosettia split in two between the original kingdom, a diarchy ruled by King Ronnie I and Acting Queen Sandra I, and the Empire, ruled by the former queen and now empress Monique I. The split was allegedly caused by King Ronnie giving power to the citizens, rather than ruling with an iron fist as Queen Monique intended. The civil war in the Kingdom of Rosettia was further intensified when the Republic of Rosettia split from the Kingdom. Both the Rosettian Empire and Republic were officially part of New Canada. However, Empress Monique and President Sandavol never confirmed this and the Republic collapsed in June 2012 while the Empire collapsed in July 2012.
In the first few months, little activity was being made to New Canada. However Rilgar Ompastre and Prince Jordan designed new symbols, made several laws, strengthened the government. New Canada also joined Intermicronational Organisations.
Princess Katie of Wisteria-Williamsia then recreated the now defunct Freedonia. This then became the fourth country to join New Canada. Shortly after, the nation of Kulland, an early incarnation of Dalton was restored as fifth country. Wisteria, then broke away from Williamsia, and became the sixth country of new Canada. However Wisteria then was annexed with Williamsia again becoming Wisteria-Williamsia. Dalton was then annexed with the Elefthfrian state of Arika, creating Dalton-Arika which was the successor state of Dalton in the States of New Canada.
On the sixth of July 2012 New Canada adopted its first constitution setting up a national government. New Canada elected its first president Rilgar Ompastre and he took office on the first of August 2012.
On the 19th July 2012 the New Canadian Civil War occurred, this was caused by a border dispute between Wisteria-Williamsia and Freedonia. Wisteria-Williamsia won the war and claimed Freedonia's former territory. This was then split into 6 section and formed a kingdom currently known as New Kosovo. Marsa was created by Princess Katie on the 20th July 2012 to replace the defunct Freedonia in New Canada. Minaja currently does not have any land, however it has adopted the New Canadian currency, The Williamsian Pound.
Merica joined New Canada on the 21st July 2012 becoming the Sixth Country. The Republic of Hillsborough joined New Canada shortly after Merica.
Grunkia joined New Canada on August 27, 2012.
Sometime in December 2012, a dispute arose within New Canada regarding the concept of a confederation becoming a New Canadian constituent. Specifically, the argument was over whether or not to allow the Northern Federation of Occidental Republics (N.F.O.R.), the successor state to the Republic of Hillsborough, should be allowed to join New Canada. The leader of the N.F.O.R., Ivan Abernathy, as well as multiple other constituent leaders, held a meeting to put the issue to rest. It is uncertain how, but the argument escalated to a point where the main leaders of New Canada considered the disestablishment of New Canada entirely. Some time after this meeting closed, New Canada was officially disestablished.
