### Succeeded by

Canadian Kaiserreich, Province of Canada

The CSR, officially known as the Canadian Socialist Republic is a city-state that is located on the northern and eastern borders of Citadel City. It's one city is the third largest city at 497 chunks and it has the largest developed area. The CSR also has a large population and plentiful resources through its automatic farms.

The area now known as New Vancouver was originally inhabited by YouGottaMineDeep with his birch house. Light Kz moved into the area afterward and finally Chipbar moved into the area, laying the foundation for the CSR.

The CSR prides itself with its democratic system. The country uses a system of direct democracy to make sure that everyone gets an equal say in big decisions. Although the CSR does have this voting system, to make sure everything is in order, the Canadian Republic also has four leaders that make sure everything's running smoothly. The leaders can be held accountable because they may be impeached or barred from the country at any time.

## History

### Separation from the SRP - December 8, 2020

The original founders of the CSR were unhappy with their former homes in Potatoland due to the little land and public access to their items so they began moving into the area east of spawn. Chipbar and Kz came up with an idea, an independent nation built around democracy and free goods. When Chipbar moved into the area that Light Kz and YouGottaMineDeep lived in, the CSR founders announced to Kikko, the president of the SRP at the time, that they wanted an independent nation. Thankfully, the independence of the members was solved completely through diplomacy and the CSR and SRP remain allies.

### Official establishment of New Vancouver - December 15, 2020

Although the CSR had chosen a place to live, they hadn't yet built up the town. The start of New Vancouver was when the construction of the great Canadian Wall was started and over the next few days, the Capital of the CSR was built. New Vancouver was unique for its close proximity to spawn and it now serves as a safe territory for new players to travel through. New Vancouver slowly filled up with farms and houses, and eventually its iconic grid system of paths that showed up later on.

### Help with the 1st Germanian Rebellion - December 20, 2020

In order to gain more allies, the CSR accepted a request to help free New Berlin from Armarian control. Pedro Grand, the mayor of New Berlin at the time, started asking for more rights and resources, which Armaria did grant but when Pedro requested to become the third Emperor of Armaria, Armaria refused. A rebellion was planned in a dedicated discord server and it was planned for December 29. Things went as plan until someone, who had a personal issue with Pedro Grand, invited Denzaman to the rebellion server and the unprepared rebels had to fight early. A battle occurred between New Berlin and Armarian forces, which Armaria easily won, and a peace agreement was prepared. Although New Berlin did get to be free, they had to give over a part of central New Berlin. The CSR however didn't suffer any major loses and gained a strong ally.

### Confederation with Germania - December 20, 2020

The newly freed New Berlin established a short lived nation, called Germania, that the Canadians were interested in forming a confederation with. This was a direct response to the SRP and Armarian Trans-Oceanic Confederation. The two nations formed the GCC, the Germian-Canadian Confederacy. The GCC was poorly planned, as it was made in a rush to respond to another confederation and the GCC was in most aspects, still divided. As the GCC organizers had realized this, they began talks about establishing a central government to better organize the GCC and for a few days things were going well for the GCC. This prosperity concluded when an emperor of Armaria threatened war if the CSR, and by extension the GCC, gained another member. This was an issue because the young country believed that it needed to grow. For a few days the confederacy remained focused on establishing a central government.

### The Christmas war - December 24, 2020

Denzaman’s threat of war was becoming more and more of a problem as the GCC was desperate for new members. On one day, a new member named Kapitein\_Klaas was recruited into the CSR. This was kept secret until Chipbar told Denza about the new member and Denza subsequently declared war on Canada. The GCC did have a decent fighting force but they were still no match for the enchanted netherite and gapples that Armaria had. Armaria won the war and a treaty with the following terms was created:

1. New Berlin will leave the GCC 2. New Berlin will join the Armarian Empire 3. New Berlin Will join the war against New Vancouver 4. The Armarian Empire will give New Berlin war material 5. The New Berlin Island will be divided between Armaria and New Berlin 6. The UME will make sure the divided is fair to both parties

The Christmas War officially make the CSR an official world power and New Vancouver became increasingly self sustainable.

### The Forgotten war - between December 24 and December 27, 2020

One of the points on the creation of the CSR was to be completely neutral. As a result, the CSR didn't want to join any wars and every war until this one was denied to have happened. This war was the last war to have been denied by the CSR and as a result, there are no records of this war and it is known only by memory. The war was caused by the CSR annexation of eastern New Berlin island and the CSR asked for 5 diamonds to remove the claim but Armaria, knowing they could easily defeat the CSR declined. This war took place in New Vancouver and the CSR kept fighting until the SRP, an Armarian ally at the time offered to pay the 5 diamonds on the behalf of Armaria, which was kept secret between the CSR and SRP. The CSR, satisfied with the diamonds, gave the island to Armaria and Armaria, believing they had won the war announced victory and put signs mocking the fighting skills of the CSR.

### Participation in the 1st world congress - December 27, 2020

The CSR, as one of the alpha major nations, participated in the 1st world congress. the Canadian diplomats generally voted in opposition with Armaria and voted in the majority. The CSR requested to have two seats in in congress like Armaria but eventually it was decided that all nations will have one vote. The congress was a result of the controversy of the Christmas war and the reason for the Christmas war would never happen again.

### Unrest in the CSR - December 27 - December 31, 2020

After an incident between ZizalAB and LightKz\_YT, the CSR did not allow Kz to hunt down Zizal. This angered Kz who threatened civil war. During this period, Kz enlisted his friends and allies in Armaria to help him start a civil war. Chipbar, Spartan and other loyalists tried to convince Kz not to start a war but Kz, who was persistant on killing Zizal, resisted. Eventually, Kz, who thought he could win a civil war with his support, and Chipbar, who thought he could win because he had also gotten Armarian support, both realized that they were being set up and reached peace.

### The New Year's war - January 1, 2020

On days leading up to 2021 an alliance by several nations created a pact in order to avoid combat while new people joined. The New Years war was caused when Armaria attacked the SRP and as the CSR was a member of the New Year's defense pact, the CSR aided the SRP. Although the CSR declared war on Armaria a bit later, the CSR did not participate in most of the fight. The New Year's war gave hope to the Canadians as they had technically just won a war against Armaria.

### Union with Germania and dissolution - January 4 - January 5, 2020

In the aftermath of the fall of Armaria, New Berlin and New Vancouver started having talks of a second GCC. The governor of New Berlin, NikoCheif was on board with the idea and an idea was brought up to make the second GCC a federal parliamentary republic. Later on the Weimar Republic joined and it was decided that each member state would become an autonomous province. As a result of this decision, when the Canadian Kaiserreich was formally created, the CSR was dissolved and replaced with the autonomous province of Canada. The province of Canada encompasses all of New Vancouver and the CSR's outpost territories. The term "CSR" is still used to refer to the province of Canada and it's residents.

## Geography

New Vancouver has several biomes on its land. The original claims had a plains biome in the north, wooded hills in the North-East, Gravel Mountains in the South-East, hills in the the West and a bit of forest in the East. Almost all of the New territory of New Vancouver is plains as it is optimal for buildings but the Gravel mountains have also been useful as they have a lot of emerald ore. The river running through New Vancouver was once two rivers that had a gap but the gap was filled and now one united river runs through New Vancouver. The western hills also serve as a natural defense and the river is where two of the town exits are.

## Government and politics

The CSR is a direct democracy that holds regular referendums to get the full input of the people. The government is made up of the three founders and and one appointed leader, who make sure everything is running smoothly but don't have much real power. The CSR was the first truly democratic nation on the server and will continue to support the people.

### Law

CSR law is based on common sense and is relatively lenient. The country’s laws are enforced by the people through votes and this system has worked for them. If someone is not part of the nation but breaks one of its laws on its territory, the CSR will start an international court case and consult the other nations.

### Foreign relations and military

The CSR has good relations with most major nations. They have a trade agreement with the SRP, Military alliances with the SRP and Germania and several new agreements are being worked on. Membership in the CSR military is mandatory for every member that is capable of fighting and because of this they have one of the largest militaries. The CSR has never waged an offensive war however it has participated in several defensive conflicts.

## Economy

The CSR supplies every member of it basic needs, such as armour, tools, food and land, free of Charge and only sells things to other nations. The CSR doesn't participate in the international economy that much at the moment.
