Canaland

Canaland, also known as the South Canadia-Jonathia Reunification Movement (SCJRM), is a disputed territory between Jonathia and Canadia. Existing since the signing of the Treaty of Wollings in 1947 following the Great War, Canaland has aimed to cede itself from Canadia and rejoin Jonathia. It's name is a combination of Canadia, and the name of the Jonathian province of Lolland.
As Canaland consists of both Wellow and South Canadia, Canaland is usually invited to participate in usually exclusively Jonathian events, such as the Tapavision Song Contest (alongside Canadia and all nineteen Jonathian provinces), the Jonathian Premier League, and are allowed to send two representatives to the Jonathian parliament.
==Etymology==
The name "Canaland" is derived from the name of Canadia, with the "dia" letters removed and replaced with "land". The term was first used in 1948.
==Dispute over claim==
While technically in Canadia as stated by the Treaty of Wollings, Canaland feels, looks, and sounds very Jonathian. They read Jonathian newspapers, their football team plays in the Jonathian Premier League, and their accents are a mix of Lollese, Geltan, and Canadish.
In 1940, during the Canadish invasion of Jonathia, Canadia invaded and annexed what was then known as east Lolland. Deciding to make the claim official, a wall was built along the presumed border in 1945. When the UF surrendered in 1947, it was expected that Jonathia would get Canaland back. However, a surprise clause in the Treaty of Wollings that the Polish had put in stated that Canadia was completely entitled to the land, and that Jonathia must cede the land to their eastern neighbours. This caused outrage in both Canaland and Jonathia.
Jonathia still continues to recognize Canaland as a part of Jonathia. Many Jonathian businesses expanding into Canadia will usually have a large presence in Canaland. Jonathian politicians, governors, celebrities, and activists often visit the area. Since 2013, the councils of Wellow and South Canadia have held seperate elections in tandem with the Jonathian election, to elect 2 members to the Jonathian parliament to represent Canaland. In Jonathia, there is an official Canalese provincial government-in-exile.
