New France (Cromwell the Great)

New France (French: Nouvelle-France) is the area colonized by France in North America during a period beginning with the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River by Jacques Cartier in 1534. At its peak New France extended from Newfoundland to the Rocky Mountains and from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico, including all the Great Lakes of North America.

The territory is divided into colonies, each with its own administration: Canada, Acadia, Newfoundland (Plaisance), and Louisiana.
