Quebecan Empire

The Quebecan Empire was an empire in North America, controlling most of western Canada. It was one of the few independent nations in North America prior to New Portugal's collapse. At their peak, they controlled all of Quebec, the north and eastern coasts of Newfoundland, as well as Ontario and parts of Manitoba.
The nation's origins date back to 121AD, when minor protests broke out in Quebec during the War of the Isles, advocating for independence from Scotland. The protests eventually ended soon after the reconquest of England, but the idea continued to gain traction. In 133AD, the Republic of Quebec was established out of part of Scottish Canada. The nation was very peaceful at first, being one of the only stable nations in the region of Canada. It did not do much in the beginning, only taking over some territories on the northern side of Newfoundland. It did establish relations with Byzantium, Scotland and Mongolia during this time, but otherwise stayed relatively quiet and stable.
However, in 161AD, a coup overthrew the government of Quebec, resulting in the foundation of the Quebecan Empire, now led by James I, emperor of Quebec. The nation began preparing for new conquests. During 167AD, their neighbor of Canada began to spiral into a civil war, and the Quebecans took full advantage of the opportunity to invade Ontario, initially annexing the southern half of Ontario. They continued their invasion in 170AD, overpowering the remnants of the Canadian government, annexing all their remaining land, and growing massively. This was when they reached their peak of power, with them being feared throughout the continent, and many foreigners visiting the empire. They also took over more of Newfoundland for greater Atlantic access.
In 180AD, the emperor of Quebec, James I, died of disease. His son James II took the throne. Soon after this occurred, New Portugal invaded them, taking advantage of his poor leadership skills, and reducing their territories dramatically back to just Quebec. After this defeat, Quebec was severely weakened. Although they made attempts to create a colonial empire in the Congo, as well as in the Arctic Islands and Greenland, these attempts failed. Finally, in 191AD, the Republic of Gohelm launched a surprise invasion. They quickly seized most of Quebec, and the empire fell. During the Pretender Civil War, Ivan fled to Quebec due to its loyalty to him. He died there after losing the civil war.
