Casnadrican Republic/Outline

*The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Union of the Casnadrican Republic.*

The *Casnadrican Republic* is a fictional country situated in North America, bordering the United States to the South, the Solomorssian Isles to the South-East, and Russia to the North-West. In total, the union has 8 territories and 12 provinces, which extend from the Atlantic Ocean and the Hudson Bay at the East, to the Pacific Ocean at the West, and the Arctic Ocean at the North, covering over a total of 12.8 million km2 of area.

The lands that are now Casnadrica have been inhabited for millennia by various groups of aboriginal peoples. Beginning in the late 15th CE, British and French expeditions explored and later settled the Atlantic coast. Meanwhile, after the discovery of the Pacific Ocean (to the Europeans) and the Pacific Coast of North America, it lead to the gradual colonization of North-Western North America by Russia in around 1823, as the Colony of Russian America (*Alyeska* and *Yukon*), and the seperate annexation of the lands of the Cascadia Bioregion of the United Kingdom, as the Colony of Oregon, again, in around 1823. However, in 1868, after the Grand Cascade Revolt, Cascadia secured it's indepence, and purchased Alyeska (renamed to *Alaska*) and Yukon.

In 1867, with the union of the 2 British North American colonies of *Upper Canada* and *St. Rupertia*, through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of 4 provinces (Ontario, Huron, Rupertia, and Manitouba). This began an accretion of additional provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom, which eventually lead to full independence, as culminated in the *Canada Act* of 1945. Then, after the passing of the *Casnadrican Merger Act* in 1946, both nations tranquilly United into the *Casnadrican Republic*.

Casnadrica is a federation that is governed as a semi-presidential democracy. It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both English and French as official languages at the federal level. Technologically advanced and industrialized, Casnadrica maintains a diversified economy that is heavily reliant upon its abundant natural resources and upon trade—particularly with the United States and Solomorssian Isles, with which Casnadrica has a long and complex relationship.
