Commonwealth of British Columbia

British Columbia officially the Commonwealth of British Columbia was a country in North America that existed from 2033 until its annexation by the United States of America in 2037. Established after the collapse of Canada it was one of the first Provinces to break away. During it's 4 year existence it constantly struggled with economic and social problems. A majority of people in polls taken in 2034, 3035, 3036 and 2037 supported annexation by the United States.
In 2035 the province of Vancouver broke away from British Columbia to form its own nation called Cascadia. British Columbia entered a brief state of war with Cascadia to retake the renegade province. This war ended after a stalemate as it caused the economy to fall further. The loss of Vancouver stripped British Columbia of its largest metro area and city.
