Acadia (ProtoTimeline)

Acadia, officially the Maritime Conferderation, or Confederation of Acadia, is a country in North America. The nation is bordered by Canada in the north and the United States in the southwest. Along with Laurentia, Belize and most of the Caribbean, Acadia is a constitutional monarchy within the Commonwealth Realm, Charlettetown is the county's capital, and is.

Modern day Acadia was first colonized by the French during the 17th Century and was a part of New France. The French settlements were eventually taken over by the United Kingdom, first during Queen Anne's War and then during the French and Indian War. The British founded the Colony of Nova Scotia to govern their new territory. Nova Scotia and its neighboring settlements remained loyal to the British Empire throughout the American Revolutionary War. Following the United States's independence, British Loyalists started to settle in northern Nova Scotia, forming the colony of New Brusnwick.

The Maritime Colonies (as they were refer to) would remain a stronghold of British imperialism in North America during the nineteenth century. This loyalty was reinforced with the independence of the Canadas in the 1830s and Oregon in 1848. With the United States becoming a significant military power on the continent, the United Kingdom and the Maritime colonies began a series of talks which aimed to confederate the provinces into a single dominion. This took place in 1889 with the unification of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Albion into the Maritime Confederation.
