British Columbia
|
For the polity on Terra Nova that was a province of the Salish Confederation and later the Evergreen Republic, see British Columbia (Terra Nova).
British Columbia, officially the Republic of British Columbia, is a small country and city-state located mostly in the Alaskan Panhandle. It is bordered to the north, south, and east by the Republic of Cascadia. Its population is 37, mostly centered in the city of Fjord, its capital.
British Columbia was founded on July 17th, 2023, by the political leaders of the City of Fjord, Cascadia, who were not against Cascadian rule, but rather wished to pursue their own path for their future. The town had purchased the nation of nearby Russian Alaska from the Russian Empire. Its independence and sovereignty came into full effect following bilateral agreements with the Government of the Republic of Cascadia and the later ratification of the Treaty of Fjord. It is a member of the Two Seas Federation with the Republic of Vinland, and maintains close diplomatic ties with Cascadia.
British Columbia is a representative democracy operating as a constitutional republic, with separate executive and legislative branches of government. Unlike the Republic of Vinland, which was formed at a similar time by former Cascadians, its government structure is not based upon Cascadian democracy, and rather incorporates a consulate in which two consuls serve as joint heads of government for renewable two year terms. Legislative power is vested in the Senate of British Columbia, elected by proportional representation nationwide. British Columbia self-describes itself as a city state, and thus has a smaller government and is mostly limited to the surrounding areas of Fjord.
