History

Ceded to Britain by France in the 1763 Treaty of Paris, Quebec found itself under British colonial rule.  The Quebecois chafed under British attempts to force them to speak English and give up their Roman Catholicism.  Needless to say, it didn’t sit well with the populace.  During the Napoleonic Wars, the British viceroy of Quebec feared the Quebecois would rise up in support of Napoleon, and instituted martial law.  This did more to propel the otherwise docile population toward rebellion, and when Andrew Jackson began his revolution in the southern colonies, Quebec answered his call for aid.  In exchange for tying up the British armies in Canada, thus allowing Jackson to move more swiftly towards uniting the colonies against Britain, Jackson assured the Quebecois a kingdom of their own, which would include Quebec proper as well as Newfoundland and Labrador.  He kept his word, and the sibling nations of Jacksonia and Quebec were born in 1815.  Quebec would come to the aid of Jacksonia twice in losing efforts, first in the Jacksonian Civil War—in which it played more a maritime and trade role—and during the Great War, in which it found itself invaded from the east and pounded by the Royal Navy.  In the Armistice of 1917, Quebec was forced to cede Newfoundland and Labrador back to the Dominion of Canada, which effectively flanked the French-speaking nation.

Relations

Quebec is cold towards the Dominion of Canada, and warm with both Lakes and New England, the heirs to Jacksonia.  The nation is sympathetic both to Louisiana and Intermountain, but has no real ability to aid them.  As to the rest of the North American nations and the world in general, Quebec is rather isolationist, and tends to keep to itself.
