People's Republic of Quebec (The Many Nations of North America)

The People's Republic of Quebec was a last-ditch effort by the Nationalist Party of Quebec (PNQ) to force Quebec's independence after the Battle of Montreal and the subsequent collapse of the Republic of Quebec.

Politics
The strongest party in Quebec that had not participated in the declaration of independence was the Communist Party of Quebec. To attempt to appease Commmunist demands, the Quebecan Constitution was massively amended to allow for a Marxist state to some level, and Catholicism was disestablished. This did gain some Communist support, but that was offset by an exodus of Nationalists and Conservatives to the Canadian side.

Effects on the War
The Communists hated the Kingdom of New England, as it combined their traditional disagreement with monarchy and the suppression of Vermont. Therefore, Quebec units were ordered to attack their former allies, resulting in the confusion at the Battle of Boston.

After the War
The People's Republic ruined the cause of Quebec independence. The suppression of Catholicism and others hurt the idea of an independent Quebec for the following years, and the idea is seen as all but dead by the public.
