'''British Columbia,''' formerly known as the '''Salish Federation,''' and officially '''The Union of British Columbia''' is a nation situated in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The Union of British Columbia has a Parliamentary, Direct Democracy government form, similar to Switzerland. It is a member nation of the Pacific Pact, by extension the [[North American Pact]], the Canadian Empire, and the British Commonwealth. The Union of British Columbia consists of four provinces of its own; British Columbia, Alberta, [[Nova Scotia (New)|Nova Scotia]], and Manitoba.
 
'''British Columbia,''' formerly known as the nation '''Salish,''' and officially '''The Province of British Columbia''' is a Province of the [[Evergreen Republic]] situated in the Pacific Northwest region of North America and hosts notable cities, like Seattle. British Columbia has a Parliamentary Direct Democracy government structure that was based off of the government structure of the [[Salish Confederation]], of which it was a canton of prior to the establishment of the Evergreen Republic.


=='''Government'''==
=='''Government'''==
The Government Structure is almost exactly the same as the now defunct Salish Confederation, in order to preserve it's system of government.


====The Chancellor====
====Premier ====
The head of the nation and elected by the Parliament once a month. Works alongside MPs as a fellow peer, and also deals with foreign policy. The Chancellor acts as a tiebreaker vote worth two if Parliament ever finds a tied vote. The Vice Chancellor assists the Chancellor, and takes over in a time of inactivity, or any other situation that is allowed by the Constitution.
The Premier is the elected head of the Province by the Provincial Parliament once a month. They work alongside Members of Provincial Parliament (MLAs) within Parliament as a fellow peer and also deal with relations with the federal government. The Deputy Premier assists the Premier and works with other Ministers, while also taking over in times of inactivity, or any other situation that was allowed by the Constitution or law. The current Premier is SayerQT since 1 March 2022, elected in the March 2022 British Columbia Provincial Election.


====Secretariat====
==== Secretariat====
Various officials that help run the country are chosen by the Chancellor, and the Parliament regulates them to help run the Federation.
The Provincial Secretariat consists of various task specific Ministers that are appointed by the Chancellor to help run the country. The Parliament regulates them and has the ability to remove them in order for smooth operations within the Province.
==== Parliament ====
The population, or the Parliament or Legislative Assembly ''(alternatively known as the Squpástul)'' is the unicameral voting body and legislature of the Province. It votes to initiate proposals which allow it to: create and remove laws, impeach Secretariat members, and other duties prescribed by law. Proposed items have four different categories: Standard Law, Territory Expansion/Expulsion, Province Law, and Constitutional Law, as well as other miscellaneous resolutions, as Parliament has the ability to manage the rules of its proceedings. All laws are cataloged within the Journal of the Provincial Parliament.
====Circuit Court of Appeals====
The Court of Law of the British Columbia Province consists of three judges, and one head judge called the Justice General. These judges are appointed by the Premier every three months with approval of the Parliament, and the Justice General serves a renewable one month term. These citizens must at least reside within the Province for two months prior to being appointed. Judges of the Court can not be a part of the Secretariat, but can be MPs or Mayors. The court's duties are to interpret law and the Constitution of the Province and the Evergreen Republic and apply them to cases. It can appeal to the Federal Judiciary of the Evergreen Republic.  


====Parliament====
Judges of the Court of Law can be impeached and removed from office by the Parliament for the Constitutional definitions of Abuse of Power and Incompetence with a 60% majority. If an impeachment is successful, the Premier would then appoint with Parliament approval a new judge that will serve until the end of the impeached judge’s term.
The population, or Parliament (MPs) is the voting body of British Columbia. It will vote on proposals, create laws, remove laws, remove Secretariat members, ect. Proposed items voted and approved by Parliament must be enacted within 48 hours or they will fail to become law, even if the margin to pass is met.


====Provinces====
The Court may decide to dismiss frivolous or trivial cases with a legal reason given with a unanimous vote, though the Parliament can override this with a 2/3rds vote.
Each Province of British Columbia will be as equals, with no nation or town over the other in terms of laws or elected officials. Province are free to and encouraged to establish their own constitutions, freedoms, restrictions, trade, influence, and laws so long as they do not conflict with Union-approved British Columbian law. Each Province is allowed 2 envoys, which consist of the Premier, the leader of the Province, and one chosen by the Premier, to represent their Province to the Secretariat.  
=='''History'''==
=='''History'''==
The nation of Salish was founded on the 10th of February, 2020, by [[Vorobyevite]] with the following towns of [[Wenatchee]], [[Seattle]], [[Schaumberg]], [[Bend]], and [[Winthrop]]. Multiple other towns have joined after that date, becoming the nation that it is today. The nation renamed to British Columbia on the 1st of October 2020 but will be referred to as Salish for as long as it was existing during history at that time.
Before British Columbia became a Canton, it was the nation known as Salish which was founded on the 9th of February, 2020, by [[Vorobyevite]]. The nation renamed to British Columbia on the 1st of October 2020.  
 
====Separation and Cascadian Backlash====
On February 8, 2020, the founder of [[Cascadia]], [[RangerMK01]] who is no longer residing in Cascadia, stepped into Cascadian politics and announced that the next in line for President if the current president resigned would be Vice President LawOfRence of [[Port Angeles]], to which most the government agreed to. This scenario was brought about when Estonian_Mapping (EstiQT) suggested that she step down to help directly develop the then Province of [[Ontario]]. This caused a backlash in the Cascadian Discord, to which former senators [[Seattle|JTPilfered]], [[Vorobyevite]], and [[OreoToast|32Oreo]] argued that it was not outlined in the Constitution on what was to occur, and requested a special election to be held rather than an appointment of the Vice President, by a foreign entity no less. Their respective towns gathered to form a peaceful separatist group known as the Salish Federation, which viewed Cascadia as to have fallen to a Feudal Monarchy under Ranger. When communications between Federation members was leaked, this was met with immediate backlash from the Cascadian Government, who announced these people as traitors to the state. A trial was announced to occur on February 14th, 2020, Valentine's Day of that year. After being kicked from the Cascadian Discord on February 11th, 2020, all members have refused trial. The trial was eventually cancelled, as the defendants could not physically show up. The first chancellor of the Salish Federation and prominent leader in the movement was [[Vorobyevite]]. 
 
====Skirmishes with Washington====
Members of Washington and the greater Rio Grande Federation increased tensions on February 15th, when one member of Washington threatened the town of Winthrop and the mayor, [[SayerQT]], to return to Cascadia or death. In result, SayerQT was killed after refusing to return to their previous government. Washington militants remained active in the Wenatchee afterwards until two Salish members (SayerQT and JTPilfered) were caught outside claims in Paraguay in collecting melons and leaves, prompting an attack on them, killing them both.
 
On February 19, 2020, JTPilfered and [[Washington|BonZZil]] had a standoff at around 5:00 PST in the Salish Parliament Complex in [[Wenatchee]], which almost 1/3 of was unclaimed. During the standoff, reinforcements came from both parties, which from Salish included [[Lakeview|CaptnClutch]] of [[Jefferson]], and [[SayerQT]] of [[Winthrop]], the latter of which did not fight during the battle. The battle ensued which saw CaptnClutch lose his life by accidentally setting himself on fire via lava bucket. This battle has been named by some the Battle of Parliament, and that name has stuck. War was declared by Salish upon Rio Grande soon after. This was also the first peak of Salish Population with around 26 people in the country at this time.
 
==== Sunset Confederacy, JTPilfered's Chancellery, and Increased Inactivity====
Soon after Salish declared war on Rio Grande, the Sunset Confederacy was formed which is a military alliance that encompasses large swaths of the American West Coast. The member nations include; Salish, Jefferson, California, North California, Rough and Ready, Glacier Bay, and Haida. For more information on this conflict, see [[Cascadian Civil War]]. On March 1, 2020, JTPilfered of Seattle was elected and inaugurated as the second chancellor of the Salish Federation. The first half of his term saw expansion and development, with the war going on as well. During the second half of the term Rio Grande offered a white peace agreement that would mean giving 100g to Rio Grande per nation in the Sunset Confederacy. JTPilfered, and in turn Salish, voted no on the deal. Towards the end of March many players from Salish became significantly inactive, such as most of Wenatchee, most of the Pacific Republic, and all of Seattle except for JTPilfered. This resulted in the nation bonus going down and the nation falling into a bit of a slump, with the nation status going from a Dominion to a Federation
 
====Sayer's Chancellery and Rapid Growth====
On April 1st, 2020, JTPilfered announced that Seattle was leaving Salish due to the fact that the chunk bonus was declining and he wants to be able to expand. In his declaration, he said that he would come back to Salish if it got out of its decline. He also endorsed [[SayerQT]] of Winthrop for the position of chancellor, and she unopposed and was declared as the third chancellor of the Salish Federation. She had many plans on reviving Salish and many of them worked out. The first major objective in her chancellery was inducting the Canton of Southern Ocean, led by Ayr_, into the Salish Federation. On April 17, 2020, Seattle became the in-game capital of Salish, migrating from the original capital of Wenatchee, this was a deal made by JTPilfered, NoneAvailable, CaptnClutch7810, Vorobyevite, and SayerQT. Despite transfering Wenatchee to Jefferson, Salish had grown significantly with a new generation of residents coming from towns like Seattle, Okanagon, Cranbrooke, Edmonton and Snowdrift, with it going from a Federation up to a Kingdom. SayerQT had her term expanded by parliament into May.
 
====The May 2020 Boom====
Throughout the beginning of May Salish experienced insane growth, especially on May 10, when the Cascadian town of [[Eureka]] joined Salish along with the new towns of Kindersley (now called Cereal) and Kilton Peak (now called Edgewater). In the days after that, Salish gained at least 1 town per day quickly jumping from the /n list Page 7 to Page 4, and becoming a realm on May 14, 2020. It continued to evolving steadily, passing Washington and Jefferson and then Cascadia later that month.
 
====June 2020====
In June 2020, xGoat_ was elected Chancellor in a close election with EstiQT. One of the major points of his campaign was going on the offensive with Washington and strengthening the military. Despite this, Goat pulled a 180 and announced that he will be disassembling the military. This sparked outrage among parliament, especially Timeline, who was the Minister of Defense who felt like Goat was overstepping his power. This resulted in Southern Ocean and Eureka leaving the nation. The second major thing of his Chancellery came when the Salish Federation voted in favor of joining the Canadian Empire. The end result wasn't exactly what they were hoping for, as Salish is still at war with Washington, but it has eased tensions slightly. Later that week, the towns of Providence and Kindersley left the nation as they were unhappy with the current political climate and joined Klondike and Jefferson, respectively. Later that week, the Canadian Empire kicked Salish out for not ending the war with Washington and many member nations proceeded to attack Salish towns to little success.
 
====July 2020====
In July of 2020, JesTer_BBX was elected as chancellor after facing both SayerQT and _Kaito_Kid in the elections. Both other candidates dropped out before the election was over. JesTer had only been in Salish for 4 weeks before being elected and has thus far achieved peaceful relations with many nations. Plans to help build many more iceroads between the northwestern nations are in the works as well as bringing back the nation fund to allow towns to expand more. During his term, Edmonton has more than double in its members. And the nation has prospered well. He had a term extension into August by Parliament. 
 
==== September 2020 to November 2020 ====
During this period, British Columbia was in limbo. The Union wasn't dead, but neither active. Discussions occasionally happened, but with little progress.
 
==== Activity, the Supreme Court, and Minor Reforms of December through February 2021 ====
During KiwiFruht's short term, there were efforts to push reforms in the government. A Judicial system was poorly proposed and implemented by SayerQT, and elected three judges to it's seats, Vorobyevite, JesTer_BBX, and Fortis_Ipsum. Which then promptly showed the absurdity of it's absolute power, by putting SayerQT on trial for circumventing Parliament by changing, deleting, and creating roles within the discord, and audit logs that proved attempted voter fraud by keeping those not valid to vote within the discord. After SayerQT was temporarily removed from British Columbia, along with Nova Scotia, the Supreme Court was disbanded by order of the Court and the law creating it nullified. SayerQT was then let back in to British Columbia, on probation for breaking the laws of the Constitution.


====March Resurgence 2021====
For the longest time, there was no distinction between British Columbia and the Nation of Salish, they were one in the same, and British Columbia had no Cantonal government. This changed however on September 12th, 2021 when SayerQT formed the first Cantonal government and established local rule. The Federal capital was Seattle, until the 1st Amendment to the Salish Constitution was passed, abolishing the Federal capital in favor of Cantonal capitals. This however, doesn't prevent strong feeling of the de facto Capital being Seattle for the Salish Confederation.
During March of 2021, British Columbia came out of inactivity. A push for legislative and constitutional reforms were introduced by Vorobyevite, spurred on by K1_'s agenda for reviving the activity it once saw in the past. On March 11th, 2021, the Province of Canadian Rockies merged with the core Province of British Columbia. Recruitment drives were initiated, and the nation has sprung back from it's slumber. On March 16th, 2021, the sixth revision of the Constitution passed, solidifying the Secretariat and reaffirming the role of Parliament. On March 24, 2021, the core Province of British Columbia jumped from /n list 7 to /n list 1, and rose to #9 on the list at about 175 citizens, surpassing the old record of 165. British_Columbia, in game, had gained over 130 citizens in just 1 week.


==== April 2021 ====
===='''Towns'''====
During April of 2021, K1_ received a term extension via parliament, and became Chancellor for the remainder of April. On April 1st, the core Province of British Columbia had surpassed 200 citizens, a new record for the nation, with recruitment drives in the towns of Seattle, Winthrop, and Edgewater. At the time, the city of Seattle had reached an all time record of 100 citizens. The core Province of British Columbia also became the largest in game nation in North America by population, and had surpassed 2000 chunks on April 7th. The nation remained at #7 on /n list 1 for weeks.

British Columbia, formerly known as the nation Salish, and officially The Province of British Columbia is a Province of the Evergreen Republic situated in the Pacific Northwest region of North America and hosts notable cities, like Seattle. British Columbia has a Parliamentary Direct Democracy government structure that was based off of the government structure of the Salish Confederation, of which it was a canton of prior to the establishment of the Evergreen Republic.

Government

The Government Structure is almost exactly the same as the now defunct Salish Confederation, in order to preserve it's system of government.

Premier

The Premier is the elected head of the Province by the Provincial Parliament once a month. They work alongside Members of Provincial Parliament (MLAs) within Parliament as a fellow peer and also deal with relations with the federal government. The Deputy Premier assists the Premier and works with other Ministers, while also taking over in times of inactivity, or any other situation that was allowed by the Constitution or law. The current Premier is SayerQT since 1 March 2022, elected in the March 2022 British Columbia Provincial Election.

Secretariat

The Provincial Secretariat consists of various task specific Ministers that are appointed by the Chancellor to help run the country. The Parliament regulates them and has the ability to remove them in order for smooth operations within the Province.

Parliament

The population, or the Parliament or Legislative Assembly (alternatively known as the Squpástul) is the unicameral voting body and legislature of the Province. It votes to initiate proposals which allow it to: create and remove laws, impeach Secretariat members, and other duties prescribed by law. Proposed items have four different categories: Standard Law, Territory Expansion/Expulsion, Province Law, and Constitutional Law, as well as other miscellaneous resolutions, as Parliament has the ability to manage the rules of its proceedings. All laws are cataloged within the Journal of the Provincial Parliament.

Circuit Court of Appeals

The Court of Law of the British Columbia Province consists of three judges, and one head judge called the Justice General. These judges are appointed by the Premier every three months with approval of the Parliament, and the Justice General serves a renewable one month term. These citizens must at least reside within the Province for two months prior to being appointed. Judges of the Court can not be a part of the Secretariat, but can be MPs or Mayors. The court's duties are to interpret law and the Constitution of the Province and the Evergreen Republic and apply them to cases. It can appeal to the Federal Judiciary of the Evergreen Republic.

Judges of the Court of Law can be impeached and removed from office by the Parliament for the Constitutional definitions of Abuse of Power and Incompetence with a 60% majority. If an impeachment is successful, the Premier would then appoint with Parliament approval a new judge that will serve until the end of the impeached judge’s term.

The Court may decide to dismiss frivolous or trivial cases with a legal reason given with a unanimous vote, though the Parliament can override this with a 2/3rds vote.

History

Before British Columbia became a Canton, it was the nation known as Salish which was founded on the 9th of February, 2020, by Vorobyevite. The nation renamed to British Columbia on the 1st of October 2020.

For the longest time, there was no distinction between British Columbia and the Nation of Salish, they were one in the same, and British Columbia had no Cantonal government. This changed however on September 12th, 2021 when SayerQT formed the first Cantonal government and established local rule. The Federal capital was Seattle, until the 1st Amendment to the Salish Constitution was passed, abolishing the Federal capital in favor of Cantonal capitals. This however, doesn't prevent strong feeling of the de facto Capital being Seattle for the Salish Confederation.
