**Newfoundland**, (also known as *British Colony of Newfoundland*) is a British Colony situated off the North Atlantic Coast of North America. It acts as a staging area to supply food, transport, and travel to other areas of North and South America.

The Colony was picked due to its strategic location being right across the Atlantic from Great Britain, it allowed for Great Britain to further advance its Colonial Empire into North America more quickly and efficiently, and allowed for better trade routes with the countries residing in the region that had a multitude and plentiful amount of untapped recourses.

## Diamonds in Newfoundland

In 02/05/23, the nation of Canada had established a foothold in Nova Scotia, and soon became the number one holder in diamonds. Newfoundland at the time had very little to no buildings on it, so because of the finding of diamonds in nearby Canada, Great Britain soon fully established Newfoundland and began mining for resources and started construction of many hundreds of mines.

After 02/09/23, much of the island had been cleared of resources, resulting in Great Britain to explore South past Canada and travel the Atlantic Coast of North America in search of more diamonds. Because of this, in order to expand their influence further into America, the construction of St. Johns was started.

## The construction of St. Johns

After Newfoundland mines were no longer needed, Newfoundland became a staging port into North America to find more land to colonize that have diamonds. St. Johns is stationed on a hill in central Newfoundland, and originally had the purpose of serving as a military base, however, as Anglo - Canadian relationships began to improve, the need to defend the island by any nearby threat shortly diminished.

The St. Johns Military Base now is just a makeshift lighthouse and watches over the Atlantic.

## Newfoundland Joining New England Colonies

Newfoundland, although a separate Colony has been proposed to become a crown territory like the Falkland Islands as the size of Newfoundland is so small, and the need for it now is purely for trade and military. However, the other proposals have been Canada purchasing the island, or the Island being dissolved into the New England Colonies as the head of government for the Colonial Advisory Board of New England. With Canadian - Anglo relationships at a high, there has been discussions of Canada buying Newfoundland from Great Britain as well, however during the early ages of exploration, the chances of Great Britain selling Newfoundland so early is a likely low, as the strategic purpose of Newfoundland being able to control North Atlantic trade is so versatile, especially as the continent is unexplored, and Canada holds one of the worlds strongest economies.

## Newfoundland Capital of New England

New England is a group of multiple different colonies and settlements in North America, these include but are not limited to New Dublin, New York, and New Glasgow. Although these colonies all have different views and different origins in the New World, they all qualify under the New England Colonial Advisory Board. As of 2/14/23, the Valentine Treaty was established, allowing Newfoundland to be the overseer in all New England politics and be the head capital of the disorganized settlements, and would aid in architecture, economy, and transport within the New England region.
