New Yukon Republic

The New Yukon Republic, commonly known as the Yukon Republic or the Yukon, is a post-war nation located in the far northern parts of former Canada. It's a parliamentary republic created a decade after the Great War and absorbed most of the former Northwest Territories and parts of the former Yukon. The Yukon Republic, knowing of the conflicts that engulf post-war Canada, maintains a policy of neutrality making it known as the Neutral Republic.
==History==
===Foundation===
The Yukon was located far away from most of the densely populated areas of Canada and this resulted in the Yukon being spared from the horrors of the Great War when the nuclear war broke out between the United States of America and China on October 23rd, 2077. Yukon's population was small and managed to survive the nuclear holocaust due to pre-existing fallout shelters and bunkers in the region and re-emerged a decade later to rebuild society. In early 2088, the New Yukon Republic was established and elected a parliamentary government into power with Whitehorse, the pre-war capital, being the capital city of the new republic. 
===Expansion===
The New Yukon Republic began expanding in 2098 by colonizing the far northern coasts of the region and creating settlements. The creation of new settlements was made easy since the coastal towns had largely survived and the colonists went to work restoring boats and other vehicles in the towns to operational status after they were disabled by the EMP blasts from the nuclear bombs. The Yukon then expanded into the Northwest Territories and began colonizing its western territories before stopping due to harsh climate conditions. By 2108, the Yukon Republic had absorbed almost half of the Northwest Territories and parts of the Yukon's northern territories in terms of its pre-war borders and stopped fearing it would stretch too thin and become too difficult to defend its territories.
