Western Confederation

The Dominion of Westanada was a nation in northwestern North America from 1916-2002. It merged with the Dominion of California in December 2002 to create the Western Republic.

History
Westanada was settled by the British Empire in the mid 1700s.

On July 1, 1867, Britain granted their colonies in Western North America independence, but as their own nations.

In 1899, a proposed state called Albertatchewan was created, which would include Alaska, Alberta, Columbia, Manitoba, Montana, Dakota, northern Oregon, and Nunavut. This idea faded away quickly, but became popular in 1910. A second proposed state was created called Westanada, which included most of this land, except for eastern Nunavut, Anchorage, and Dakota. This proposed state became very popular, and on November 6, 1916, Westanada was declared a country, and was recognized by Britain on November 7. Newfoundland joined Westanada in 1949.

In 1954, the capital of Westanada was moved from Edmonton to Calgary for unknown reasons.

Westanada was neutral in World War I, but was in the allies during WW2.

During the mid 1990s, a new state was proposed which would include the merger of Westanada, and it's southern neighbour, California. On February 29, 1996, a referendum was held in both nations to unify. Both nations voted yes, and on December 25, 2002, both nations officially merged to create the Western Republic.
