North American Confederation (Toyotomi)

The North American Confederation (in full, the Confederation of Eastern British North America) is a confederation of former British colonies in the eastern part of North America. The Confederation is organized into 26 provinces plus five nations, all equal members.

The Confederation's official languages are English and Dutch. Acadia is Francophone, New Netherlands is Dutch-speaking, the Nations are generally bilingual native/English. All over provinces are primarily Anglophone.

The Confederation's Head of State is the King of British North America, who is the same as the King of the United Kingdoms of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and the Netherlands.

The Confederation originated during the. , allied with Napoleonic, declared war upon. Japanese forces conquered much of New France and the British colonies, occupying all of, , large parts of , and pushed the British back over the Appalachians. The leaders of the colonies gathered in the Continental Congress to form an emergency government. Each colony raised militia to defend their homelands, and united their efforts. By the end of the war, Japan had been forced out of most of the eastern British territories, though they continued to hold some land around the Great Lakes, along with large parts of and the far north.

After the war, the British government met with the new American government. Some in Britain wanted to return the situation to the way it was before the war, but most understood that the Americans could never be returned to colonial status, not without setting off a rebellion. And so, negotiations began to define exactly the relationship between America and Britain proper. These negotiations were complicated by simultaneous negotiations over the relationship of the parts of Britain herself, particularly the insular and mainland sections, as well as a growing sense that the emergency government that had served during the War was inadequate for peace.

The result in America of the negotiations was the Design for a Government of Eastern British North America, and the Act Establishing a Government for Oregon and Rupert's Land.

Under the Design, each colony, now established as a Province (15 in all), was headed by a Governor appointed by the Crown (later delegated to the Viceroy) who served as the chief executive authority. Each province possessed an elected assembly. Over time, practical authority was devolved to leaders of these assemblies. Each province possessed considerable autonomy in internal affairs. The Confederation as a whole would be lead by a Viceroy appointed by the Crown as the chief executive authority. Legislative authority would be held by the Parliament for Eastern British North America (commonly referred to as the American Parliament, or just the American Parliament), modelled on the Parliament in Britain. The King, through his Viceroy, would retain the right of Royal Assent. In addition, the British Parliament would possess veto power over the acts of the American Parliament (subject to the consent of the Viceroy). In addition, the American Parliament could veto acts of the British Parliament pertaining to America by 2/3 vote of both houses.

Gradually, the relationship between America and Britain evolved, and the British Parliament has not used its veto power in well over a century, and has not attempted to legislate for America since the 1880's. In 1929, the newly-crowned King Alexander surprised the world by changing his title to "King of the Commonwealth of British Nations", and further shocked the world in 1932 by announcing that he would move to Philadelphia, to take up residence in the Viceroy's Palace there. He mollified critics by adopting an alternating residence system, alternating between palaces in Philadelphia, Vancouver, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Cardiff, and Amsterdam. However, he, like his successors, spent most of his time in Philadelphia.

The NAC's currency is the North American Pound.
