Despite the peace established by the Memphis Accords and the Florida Quebec Non-Aggression Pact, relations between Florida and the Quebecois mega-nation grew strained as Quebec pursued an aggressive strategy of expansion across the continent. Rather than confrontation, Quebec began working to extend its influence into the southern United States by funding Alabama, hoping to draw it into its sphere and grow its mega-nation's footprint within the region. Note that this is not the first nation they are funding within their mega-nation. | |||
