Northland

The Republic of Northland is a nation situated between the channel between the North Atlantic and the Lake Melville. It's capital is Ashfield, and it's largest city is Egenmount.

## History

On the area on which is now Northland, there was an area which was called Rigolet, which was first discovered by the French in the 18th century. Due to the vast temperature and permafrost, the city was in bad conditions, and couldn't progress properly.

A senior by the name of Nathan Castlefield, which was formerly one of the cadets who fought for William Lyon Mackenzie in the Upper Canada Rebellion, in 1870 decided to form the Retalist Side of Canada, which was once formed in Toronto, but because of the King's dissaproval and a planned vandalization by the government, it was soon moved more north, to the small city of Rigolet. Castlefield had been planning to rebuild the city, which was finished in 1873, and served over 5,200 Inuit people.

As the time flew, Castlefield, along with 20 whites, 40 French people and all of the Inuit people living in the north, decided to write the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Canada, which was signed by 30 of these. The independence was celebrated in September 12th, 1876, and ten days later, the Judicial Government has been founded.

Canada was on it's hey-days when the first architecture college had been opened in Rigolet, which had boosted the Republic's economy and trades with other nations, such as Australia and the United States.

One of Nathan's sons, Edron Castlefield, had been investigating on how the population should grow on a cold land. So he decided to send a note to the president in 1891 to have a law to bring people from Africa and the Pacific Islands to the country, so the area would prosper even more. However, this led to many unsuccessful revolts during 1894 to 1901 by the black people, and with them destroying the city of Rigolet in 1897, the capital has been moved to a small town founded by blacks, on which the government called it "Ashfield". In that town, the new government center was built, which is now known as the Mid-North Apartment.

With the new president of the Republic, Edward Icarus, on management, during the last days of 1901 had a discontent with the slavery law in the country, which led to the founding of primary black schools and black-only jobs.

A congress has been made in the small city of Nerdion, in the house of the Walterson family, which involved 9 members of the Judicial Parliament and 30 black people in 1902. It's main objective was to stop the war and racism in the country, and also expand their city number (since there was only 7 at that time due to the extense cold). The government then ended the congress with the Treaty of Sharkville, a town which was just in the southern border of the nation, which ended the slavery of over 8,000 African and Pacific Islander people. It was signed by Icarus and the entire Parliament.

The Canadian-British government had mixed feelings about the independence of the Republic, but the prime minister, Wilfrid Laurier, expressed intensely negative ones, stating that "They should look who is sending all the Black people to the indian lands." An invasion by Canada had been started by the assasination of the Black salesman Willson Orough, which helped the government stabilize. Wars had been settled in the remote towns, including the cities of Rigolet and Ashfield, but the war ended with a de facto British-Canadian victory and a de jure stalemate by part of the President of the Republic. The Treaty of Moliak Pond, which was held in the town of Old Cyst, has been signed by the armies of the Dominion and the Republic. Since then, the nation's name had been changed from "Canada" to "Northland" to avoid confusion between the two.

## Culture

Northland has been recognized as the world's blackest micronation because the Black-American population is one of the most dominant of any independent state in the continent, with 87% of the people, as shown by a local status. Other minorities include French, American English, Pacific Islander, Hindi and German, which is the largest of the minority, with 9% of the people living in it.

Since Northland has been one of the blackest nation, the African and Pacific culture is seen regularly. One of the main traditions in the culture of the microcountry is the foundation of gangster schools, which allow black people to study 6 years before they can become a gangster. The food that they make is very complex, like the traditional Crab passé, which is crab meat complete with a spicy kale, leaves, turkey pieces and caulifflowers. It has been one of the remedial sources for people with mouth allergies, such as the occasion with canker sores.

Northland's only official language was English, until the Northlandian Patois had to be obligatorily taught in schools due to a law that was held in 1968 by the black mayor of the country, Zebedheus Natch. Other languages are also spoken, like the Inukavit, which is a mixture of Inuit and black languages, and North American German, which is a Northlandian variation of the Saxon language.

## Economy

Northland's national currency is the eskimo. The name "eskimo" was given because of the first local salesmen there being Inuits, although it has been deemed controversial by some of the Black progressists.

It currently has a GDP per capita of E./48,583,274, and it is currently spent on the film industry and public construction services. Most of the eskimos there are kept in the Northlandian Treasury, which is operated by the Hardline Bank, the oldest bank in the country. The economy, however, suffers a large amount of inflation, due to the gangster culture in the country.

## Subdivisions

Northland's first-level administrative subdivisions are known as departments. There are, by the moment, 18 of them, and all of them were approved by the judicial law of 1978.

## Symbols

Northland's flag has been a modification of the Republic of Canada's flag, which it's author has been unknown. It contained the words "LIBERTY" in red unsandwiched between the blue line with two stars. However, in 1906, some of the blacks and political opposers in the city of Ashfield did not like the flag, so the government, with the help of the French man Gois de Frederic, made a new flag that represented the three dominant parties in the nation, The Retalist Side of Northland (red flag with cross), the National Pine Tusk (white side with tree) and the Assynbonian Society Party (cyan side).

Northland's anthem is God Rest Thee, Liberty.

## Telecommunications

Northland, despite it's inflated economy, has a large history of telecommunications throughout the years. The richest company, Athabask, had been selling phones made in China and Rilchide, and manufactured by black and French employees living in the city. Before that, it had been selling antique keyboards. Another example is Stone Cell, which had been the first cell company in the nation to bring cellphones and consoles to far northern areas of the country.

The most preferred medium in the country is Television. The most watched television stations are Hood TV, because of it's strong association with the black culture, and NTN, because of the public accesibility and maxinum-wage programs.
