Chapter 1. Freedumb :wacko:
The world of 1836.
*Yawn* ZzZzZzZzZz
Throughout the world great changes would happen, Africa the dark continent was largely untapped and unexplored,
the settlement of Australia by runaway convicts and interstellar aliens would continue, in far distant East Asia countries
would be horribly wrecked by unforseen forces. Japan in previous centuries able to invade neighbouring Korea would
find itself unable to do so as the years of self isolation caused all the boaters and shipwrights to die off. Bhutan a formerly
self sufficient country would begin a long series of grevious loans and declare itself bankrupt periodically for the next 85
years. In central asia, all of them , from Kokand to Persia to Afghanistan ect. would each piss off the Russians and tempt
their own fate. South America, many years after their successful wars of independence, the successors to San Martin
and Bolivar would wage constant war for each other. In North America, the Mexicans had their eyes set upon reclaiming
the stolen lands of Texas and the end of slavery in that area, the Americans themselves had a their own dreams of
manifest destiny and in their way stood the Mexicans. The European continent stood alone it's power, technology
and wealth, the Holy Alliance stood ready to crush the liberals should they appear in groups larger than 1 and older
than 2. The German and Italian people slowly would come to recognize a need for a single unified state.
The omnipresent Russian Ts'Cz'ar was ready to become grand ruler of all Slavs while the British, French, Spanish
and the Swedes all longingly gazed upon Africa as the next jewel of the crown.
ZzZzZzZzZzZzZz [Awake] o
Somewhere on those red islands off the coast of Europe lay the center of the great empire known as the United Kingdom.
Within that center of power stood a man known as William Lamb. Sporting both a wig and mighty mace he defiantly whacked all opposition to agree with what he called
"The Grandest Plan".
Unwilling to shoulder the financial burden associated with the colonies of North America and with a nonsensical plan to make the empire rich,
the citizens of East Canada, West Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick were amalgamated into a new idependent country called
"Canada".
With their newly given sovereignty, the mice demanded milk. Additionally, the regions of
British Columbia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, Rupert's Land and Northwest Territories came under the rule of Canada.
The oregon question was left for the Canadians and Americans to deal with themselves as the United Kingdom gave up those lands to Canada.
In the course of one day, January 1st 1836, nationalist ferver swept through the lands and
all people be they Anglo, Franco, British, Cree, Metis, Aluetian, Swiss, joined in the nation wide celebration.
But I did stay at a holiday in express last night
...and so it was deemed that this day, January 1st would come to be celebrated as Canada Day.
The future looked promising, however to the south lie the giant menace of the United States ,
further West was the mighty empire of Russia , and there would remain unresolved money issue with the United Kingdom,
but for now and the next 20 years peace and prosperity would rule the country it was a joyous time indeed.
