== '''Overview''' ==
'''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.
The Salish Federation is a large nation in the Pacific Northwest region of North American. Salish has a Parliamentary Direct Democracy comparable to Switzerland, and some of it's biggest cities are [[Kilton Peak]], [[Seattle]], [[Winthrop]], [[Wenatchee]], and [[Edmonton]]. It is a member of the Sunset Confederacy.


== '''History''' ==
=='''Government'''==
The nation of Salish was founded on the 9th 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 Government Structure is almost exactly the same as the now defunct Salish Confederation, in order to preserve it's system of government.


==='''Separation and Cascadian Backlash'''===
====Premier ====
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 suggested that he 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 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 2/14/20, Valentine's Day of that year. After being kicked from the Cascadian Discord on 2/11/20, all members have refused trial. The trial was eventually cancelled, as the defendants refused to show up. The first chancellor of the Salish Federation and prominent leader in the movement was [[Vorobyevite]]. 
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.


=== '''Skirmishes with Washington''' ===
==== Secretariat====
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, [[Winthrop|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.
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.  


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.
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.


=== '''Sunset Confederacy, JTPilfered's Chancellery, and Increased Inactivity''' ===
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.
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, 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
=='''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.  


=== '''Sayer's Chancellery and Rapid Growth''' ===
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.
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 thing 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, switched over from Wenatchee by JTPilfered, NoneAvailable, CaptnClutch7810, and SayerQT. Despite losing Wenatchee to Jefferson, Salish has 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 Boom''' ===
===='''Towns'''====
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 Provost) and Kilton Peak. 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 2019''' ===
! style="background:#212121; border:2px solid DarkRed;" |<font color="white">Flag</font>
In June 2019, 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 Defence 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 Prince George and Provost 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.

Each Canton of the Salish Federation will be as equals, with no nation or town over the other in terms of laws or elected officials. The Capital is shared by all Cantons, and no one nation can lay claim to it. Cantons are free to and encouraged to establish their own constitutions, freedoms, restrictions, trade, influence, and laws so long as they do not conflict with federation-approved Salish law. The current cantons by population are the Salish Canton ''(Capital in Seattle)'', and the Southern Ocean Canton ''(Capital in Snowdrift).'' The [[Haida|Kingdom of Haida]] was also a former canton of Salish during its infant stage, as well as the Pacific Republic (which fell into ruin), and Southern Ocean (which left).

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.
