'''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 Confederation|Salish]],''' and officially '''The Canton of British Columbia''' is a Canton of the '''Salish Confederation''' situated in the Pacific Northwest region of North America and hosts notable cities, like Seattle. British Columbia has a Parliamentary, Direct Democracy government which it shares with the Salish Confederation.


=='''Government'''==
=='''Government'''==


====The Chancellor====
====Supreme 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 '''Supreme Premier''' is the head of the Canton, and shall be elected every month by all eligible voters by a majority of total votes using the Instant-Runoff Voting Method. The Supreme Premier shall be limited to serving three consecutive terms of one month each, but must wait the length of two terms out of office; they will then have their term limits reset.  


====Secretariat====
If the Supreme Premier resigns or leaves office within the first half of a month-long term, elections shall be held to fill the vacancy and the victor of the special election will serve until the end of the original Supreme Premier’s caste term. If the Supreme Premier resigns or leaves office within the second half of a month-long term, the Lieutenant Premier will become the Supreme Premier. However, if the Position of Lieutenant Premier is vacant, it then falls to the Parliamentor. If it too is vacant, it will trigger a special election with previously prescribed methods. The Supreme Premier may be removed in votes of no-confidence by the Legislative Council, which require a 2/3rd majority of the total membership
Various officials that help run the country are chosen by the Chancellor, and the Parliament regulates them to help run the Federation.


====Parliament====
The Supreme Premier may choose to appoint Ministers to the '''Executive Council''' of British Columbia.  
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 Supreme Premier shall be the Commander-in-Chief of the Public Militia of British Columbia, however they cannot declare war without consent of the Legislative Council in a 3/5th vote, and all wars declared by the Salish Federation will automatically summon the Canton of British Columbia, unless in the case the Legislative Council overrule the Federation declaration and withdraw from the war with a 3/5th 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'''==
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.


====Separation and Cascadian Backlash====
The Supreme Premier shall break ties in elections relating to the composition of Cantonal government officials.
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====
The Supreme Premier may petition a state of emergency to the Legislative Council, in which the Legislative Council voting in joint session must approve with a 2/3rd majority. If passed, a five-day timer will start, beginning at the confirmation of a successful vote, in which the power will revert to normal after the five days have passed. In a state of emergency, the Supreme Premier will have the ability to pass laws without approval of anyone, however they cannot overturn previous laws. The Legislative Council can still hold votes of no-confidence during this time, or can force a return to normal power with a 1/2 majority vote.
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.
====Executive Council====
The Supreme Premier may choose to give '''Ministers''' roles that are delegated from the powers of the Supreme Premier in order to properly run the Canton.


==== Sunset Confederacy, JTPilfered's Chancellery, and Increased Inactivity====
There shall be a permanent advisor position to the Supreme Premier that shall be titled the '''Parliamentor''' of British Columbia. The Parliamentor shall permanently be the Mayor of the Capital of the Canton. The Parliamentor shall own the nation in-game. If the Parliamentor is serving as Supreme Premier, the position will be temporarily abolished for the length of that term if both are held simultaneously.
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====
There shall be established a position titled the '''Lieutenant Premier''' of British Columbia. The Lieutenant Premier shall be appointed by the Supreme Premier, however can only be removed through votes of no-confidence. The Lieutenant Premier shall break ties in the Legislative Council.
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====
====Legislative Council====
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.
The Legislative Council shall be the unicameral provincial parliament. The Legislative Council shall consist of elected and non elected citizens of the Canton, that must reside in the nation for at least one week to be a member. Members shall be referred to as '''Cantonal Councillors''', or '''CCs'''. Town mayors automatically earn a seat in the Legislative Council.  


====June 2020====
For every twelve non-mayor citizens in the Canton, there will be one elected Legislative Council position. These elected Legislative Council positions will be allocated to towns based on how many members they have in the Cantonal Discord. These Cantonal Councillors will be elected or chosen by the Government of the town they represent, by methods decided by the town.  
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====
Constitutional articles can only be amended via new constitutional articles, which must be ratified by a 2/3rd majority in a Canton-wide referendum and can be suggested by 20% of the total membership of the Legislative Council, 10% of the Cantonal Population, or by the Supreme Premier. However, new constitutional articles cannot contain anything that changes the Second Constitutional Article, and can be vetoed by the Supreme Premier.
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 ====
====Judicial System====
During this period, British Columbia was in limbo. The Union wasn't dead, but neither active. Discussions occasionally happened, but with little progress.
All constitutional or civil cases shall be directed through the Salish Confederation Court of Grievances.
[[File:BCGOV2.png|center|thumb|800x800px|How the British Columbia Canton Government works.]]


==== Activity, the Supreme Court, and Minor Reforms of December through February 2021 ====
=='''History'''==
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.
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.  
 
====March Resurgence 2021====
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 ====
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 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 cities of Seattle and Edgewater 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 on page /n list 1 for weeks. Later in the month, an attack on the town of Grande_Prairie led by 32Oreo was made by local British Columbians after the town invaded territory by breaking borders. xGoat_, the Premier of Alberta, and K1_, Chancellor of British Columbia, attacked the town by proximity griefing and lavacasting the small village. A few British Columbian locals joined in, which caused more and more attention. The situation was named the [[Grande Prairie Incident|Grande Prairie Incident.]]

British Columbia, formerly known as the nation Salish, and officially The Canton of British Columbia is a Canton of the Salish Confederation situated in the Pacific Northwest region of North America and hosts notable cities, like Seattle. British Columbia has a Parliamentary, Direct Democracy government which it shares with the Salish Confederation.

Government

Supreme Premier

The Supreme Premier is the head of the Canton, and shall be elected every month by all eligible voters by a majority of total votes using the Instant-Runoff Voting Method. The Supreme Premier shall be limited to serving three consecutive terms of one month each, but must wait the length of two terms out of office; they will then have their term limits reset.

If the Supreme Premier resigns or leaves office within the first half of a month-long term, elections shall be held to fill the vacancy and the victor of the special election will serve until the end of the original Supreme Premier’s caste term. If the Supreme Premier resigns or leaves office within the second half of a month-long term, the Lieutenant Premier will become the Supreme Premier. However, if the Position of Lieutenant Premier is vacant, it then falls to the Parliamentor. If it too is vacant, it will trigger a special election with previously prescribed methods. The Supreme Premier may be removed in votes of no-confidence by the Legislative Council, which require a 2/3rd majority of the total membership

The Supreme Premier may choose to appoint Ministers to the Executive Council of British Columbia.

The Supreme Premier shall be the Commander-in-Chief of the Public Militia of British Columbia, however they cannot declare war without consent of the Legislative Council in a 3/5th vote, and all wars declared by the Salish Federation will automatically summon the Canton of British Columbia, unless in the case the Legislative Council overrule the Federation declaration and withdraw from the war with a 3/5th vote.

The Supreme Premier shall break ties in elections relating to the composition of Cantonal government officials.

The Supreme Premier may petition a state of emergency to the Legislative Council, in which the Legislative Council voting in joint session must approve with a 2/3rd majority. If passed, a five-day timer will start, beginning at the confirmation of a successful vote, in which the power will revert to normal after the five days have passed. In a state of emergency, the Supreme Premier will have the ability to pass laws without approval of anyone, however they cannot overturn previous laws. The Legislative Council can still hold votes of no-confidence during this time, or can force a return to normal power with a 1/2 majority vote.

Executive Council

The Supreme Premier may choose to give Ministers roles that are delegated from the powers of the Supreme Premier in order to properly run the Canton.

There shall be a permanent advisor position to the Supreme Premier that shall be titled the Parliamentor of British Columbia. The Parliamentor shall permanently be the Mayor of the Capital of the Canton. The Parliamentor shall own the nation in-game. If the Parliamentor is serving as Supreme Premier, the position will be temporarily abolished for the length of that term if both are held simultaneously.

There shall be established a position titled the Lieutenant Premier of British Columbia. The Lieutenant Premier shall be appointed by the Supreme Premier, however can only be removed through votes of no-confidence. The Lieutenant Premier shall break ties in the Legislative Council.

Legislative Council

The Legislative Council shall be the unicameral provincial parliament. The Legislative Council shall consist of elected and non elected citizens of the Canton, that must reside in the nation for at least one week to be a member. Members shall be referred to as Cantonal Councillors, or CCs. Town mayors automatically earn a seat in the Legislative Council.

For every twelve non-mayor citizens in the Canton, there will be one elected Legislative Council position. These elected Legislative Council positions will be allocated to towns based on how many members they have in the Cantonal Discord. These Cantonal Councillors will be elected or chosen by the Government of the town they represent, by methods decided by the town.

Constitutional articles can only be amended via new constitutional articles, which must be ratified by a 2/3rd majority in a Canton-wide referendum and can be suggested by 20% of the total membership of the Legislative Council, 10% of the Cantonal Population, or by the Supreme Premier. However, new constitutional articles cannot contain anything that changes the Second Constitutional Article, and can be vetoed by the Supreme Premier.

Judicial System

All constitutional or civil cases shall be directed through the Salish Confederation Court of Grievances.

How the British Columbia Canton Government works.

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.
