History
Pre-Founding
The nation itself was founded on September 18, 2022. It was later sold to TylenolEC by Manoia and they left the Canadian Meganation on July 15th of 2023. Tylenol had previously served many positions in Cascadia including president but wanted a nation of his own. Tylenol continued to expand the nation and it quickly grew.
Early History
The nation itself was originally founded September 18, 2022 prior to being sold to TylenolEC. Upon the purchase of Laurentia, they left the Canadian meganation on July 15th, 2023. Laurentia formed the Two Seas Federation alongside British Columbia, another nation formed by fellow former Cascadians. On July 29, 2023 Laurentias name was changed from its original Vinland due to lack of proximity to L'Anse Aux Meadows.
Acadian Embargo
On August 19th, 2023 Chief Governor TylenolEC declared an embargo on the nation of Acadia along with the nations of Cascadia, Kushan, Midwest Union, Arctic Empire, New Brunswick, Moldavia, and British Columbia. This was in response to the killing and and extorting of a citizen of the nation. Within 7 hours, the leaders of Acadia agreed to repay 192 gold and a beacon to the afflicted citizen and signed the Treaty of Acadia guaranteeing their payment and additionally serving as a non-aggression pact between the two nations.
Incorporation Of British Columbia
On October 3rd 2023, Chief Governor MasterEWild passed a bill fully incorporating the nation of British Columbia into the Union of Laurentia with full rights! But British Columbia is almost all disbanded now!
Wars
Spanish Empire/Golden Federation
The Union of Laurentia hasn't participated in many wars. The first was against the Spanish Empire. This war was done to show support for their ally the Antarctic Union after the Spanish Empire killed members of the AU in peace talks. Later, after the war had settled the Union of Laurentia declared war on the Spanish Empire yet again as well as the Golden Federation because of another conflict involving the Antarctic Union/Polar Republic.
Government
The Union of Laurentia, a sovereign nation, operates under a constitution adopted on July 18th, 2023. The governance structure is characterized by a unicameral legislative body known as the Legislative Council. Laurentia's political system is led by a Chief Governor, who is directly elected by the citizens.
The electoral process in Laurentia involves monthly elections for both the Legislative Council and the Chief Governor. At the beginning of each month, citizens participate in the selection of the Legislative Council, responsible for creating and voting on the nation's laws. The Chief Governor, elected separately, serves as the leader of the nation for the upcoming month. The Chief Governor appoints a cabinet, which includes the Secretary Of Infrastructure, Secretary Of State, Secretary Of Defense, and Secretary Of The Treasury. Additionally, an Auxiliary Governor is chosen to act as the second in command.
A notable figure in Laurentia's political history is TylenolEC, who served as the first Chief Governor and oversaw significant developments during two terms. Subsequently, MasterEWild was elected as the second Chief Governor in the nation's third national election on October 1st, 2023. MasterEWild went on to be re-elected for a second term on November 1st, 2023, during which diplomatic relations were strengthened, and numerous bills were enacted for the benefit of the nation.
The governance structure and electoral processes in Laurentia aim to ensure direct citizen involvement and representation, fostering a dynamic political landscape that responds to the needs and aspirations of the people.
