Canada

[Red_Communist]

In Vicky could you of made a province of Canada a state? For example Quebec as an independant state, if so how would you do that? Cuz when I get Victoria 2 I would like to play as Quebec (for a strange reason I guess). If you can't do that than who could make a mod for it?

One reason I want to play Quebec is that it gets boring always playing France in games, and Quebec while being similar to France would or could be more fun. I always like to play as French countries for the weirdest reasons.

But this doesn't mean I support a real independant Quebec! I just really like Quebec.

You can release Quebec as a puppet, save the game, exit, then reload as Quebec.

EDIT: In Victoria 1, that is, and I assume it will be the same in V2.

In Vicky 1 you could play as Canada or Quebec. I forget how early. Although I do remember editing the file (took an hour or so), so I could play Canada from the start (I edited it to change the BNA colonies into Canadian colonies, btw). Quebec is easier, you just release it, and I seem to recall it had very few colonies.

I think that it should be made that canada wont declare independence with one province in the northwestern terrotories. that was a problem.

Canada does need alot of work, events for the Metis rebellion for example, some system to manage the odd immigration to B.C., finns and sweds instead of irish, italians, russians and germans like everywhere else immigrant taking. And either B.C. Metis Confederacy, Quebec and N.F. exanded or a couple new states made so that all of Canada can be release in small states rather than as a couple and then the giant canada with little spots inbetween its siblings.



Anyway to answer the Question, in Victoria British Columbia, Quebec, Newfoundland and the Metis Confederacy could be released as free states But if as B.C. you take all the west of america and canada, break the states and leave them economically ruined and in perpetual civil war, they still get hawaii.

Technically there should not be so many Poles and Russians migrating to the new world.
Anyone who has played Australia will notice a huge swarm of Polish migrants from Russia landing in Tasmania ("my god hyphenated Russians are taking us over! Alert the garrison!")

and Quebec while being similar to France

The USA must be even more similar to the UK then.

The USA must be even more similar to the UK then.

According to the Americans if two places speak the same language they are the same.

 

[Vladislav]

Why is it such a stretch? Of course the US, especially 100-200 years ago, had similarities with England due to its heritage.

today america has similarities with england than it did then. The quebecios [does anyone know how spell that?] however base their idenity on the idea of being french so theres a connection in terms of national and cultural values but how would that make the two countries similar in terms of playing the game. One is a large european great power and the other is a, by large, scarcely populated colonial nation that might very well never even exist. Austria and France will have certain similarities in game terms, but Quebec and France not so likely.
