Canada (Atlantic Resolve)

Canada is a country in North America bordering the United States to the south.

Buildup to World War 3
With continued rising tensions in eastern Europe following the Novorossiya War and increased Russian military exercises, Prime Minister Stephen Harper was able to campaign on being "tough on Russia" while portraying Justin Trudeau as a weak candidate on issues such as national security, healthcare, and the economy. With this aggressive re-election, Harper was able to win re-election in 2015 against Justin Trudeau despite his stagnant approval rating and various scandals.

Canada had the majority of its army fighting in the North American Front of World War Three. The Canadian military worked closely to attempt to repel the invading Russian forces. Russian forces successfully captured the major Canadian cities of Vancouver and Victoria in British Columbia. Russian troops withdrew from North America at the end of World War III following the overthrow of Vladimir Putin.

Russian Occupied Territory was merged into the Federational Occupational Authority of North America with Alexander Zhuravlyov as it's prefect and Lana Lokteff of the Cascadian Freedom as it's President. Another government that formed within the Russian occupation zone known as the Cascadian People's Republic with Lokteff as President. This occupational period was also known as the Pacific Northwest Insurgency. During Lokteff's Presidency in both governments, Lokteff passed several laws discriminating against non-whites within the territory. Lokteff targeted the large Chinese community in Vancouver, limiting their freedom of speech and forcing them to adopt "White Russian" last names such as Yakovich and Kvetoslav. Any protests against her government was put down by force.
