Saint-Pierre and Miquelon (1983: Doomsday)

Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is a Canadian Protectorate consisting of a group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, just south of Newfoundland. Following Doomsday, the islands were unaffected by any of the Nuclear weapons, and became a de facto independent state until 1985 (admission as a Protectorate of Canada) - though there was no movement to form a country in the islands; and almost the entire population supported joining either Canada, Cape Breton, or the RTFA.

Canada
Canada's claim over the islands is the most popular among the Saint-Pierrais; and is the only de jure successful one. Canada has began administering the islands in 1985 - though at first this administration was very limited, it grew over time, and the islands are now run like any other Protectorate.

It is supported for several reasons: Canada's proximity to the islands; it's status as a great power in the area; and the fact that Canada can provide a better economic situation; among other things.

France
The French claim was first made by the RTFA (République des Terres Française Australes), a country consisting of France's former colonies in the Southern hemisphere, such as French Polynesia and Mauritius - which were unaffected by the Nuclear exchange. Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, though it is incredibly far away from these areas, is another former French colony which was also unaffected by the Doomsday exchange.

This claim remains popular among older people on the islands, the more Conservative people, and pro-French activists; all of whom feel that the islands should remain "as French as possible". Though this claim has never been retracted, there is little sign of the RTFA ever giving it more enforcement.

Cape Breton
The Republic of Cape Breton (RCB) relinquished its claim in 2006, when it rejoined the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. Before this, there was a large movement among the Celtic (Breton) population of the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon to join Cape Breton. This was because the RCB considered itself a strongly Celtic (and Mi'kmaq) country, and the Bretonian government made it clear that the Saint-Pierrais were welcome to join, if they wished.

Independence
Before 1985, some Saint-Pierrais suggested declaring the islands as an independent nation; but soon dismissed the idea as impractical. Since then, there has been no significant movement for independence.
