The '''Kingdom of Louisianne''' (''le Royaume de la Louisianne'') originated as the southern portion of the [[France (Toyotomi)|French]] territory of Louisianne, a province in New France. Louisianne was given the title Kingdom of Louisianne in 1827, when Louis XVII et II ascended the throne, taking for himself the title ''Roi de France, du {{TJ|Canada}}, et de la Louisianne''. Louisianne and Canada split in 1945 with the death of Pierre I. Louisianne had rejected salic law, while Canada retained. Thus, in Louisianne, Pierre's daughter Marie became Queen, and in Canada his 1st cousin once removed Jacques became King.

The Kingdom of Arkansas (le Royaume d'Arkansas) originated as the southwestern portion of the French territory of Louisianne, a province in New France. It is a member of the League of North American States.

History

The name Louisianne was first given to the territory by the French explorers after King Louis XIV in 1682. The French claimed a vast territory covering much of the Mississippi River drainage basin. The first capitals were the cities of Mobile and Biloxi, now in the NAC province of Pensacola.

In 1715, Japan captured the entire territory of Louisianne. The capital of Louisianne was moved from Biloxi to New Orleans. Louisianne became Luixian- and was subdivided into 5 provinces:

  • Godaiko (north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi)
  • Tenaxi (south of the Ohio, east of the Missippi and north of 32°28')
  • New Orleans (south of 32°28' east of the Mississippi and south of the Arkansas River west of the Mississippi)
  • Arukansa (north of the Arkansas River and south of the Missouri-Kansas-Smoky Hill Rivers)
  • Misuri (north of the Misouri-Kansas-Smoky Hill Rivers)

The province of New Orleans contained most of the major French settlements, and was given special rights, essentially a prototype of today's Autonomous Regions. The bulk of Japanese settlement was in the provinces of Misuri and and Arukansa. In 1738, the capital was again moved to Kansagawa.

In 1765, following the end of the First Global War, Luixian-dô was lost. The eastern half (consisting of all territories east of the Mississippi and north of the 31st parallel) was ceded to Britain while the western portion was retroceded to France, who returned the capital to New Orleans. Rebellions among the Japanese inhabitants of the former Misuri and Arukansa provinces led to the Misuri Rebellion (1771-1774) which resulted in northwestern and central Louisianne being granted independence as Misuri. Misuri consisted of the former Misuri Province and the western part of Arukansa Province, plus the areas surrounding the cities of Kansagawa and Misurigawa, minus most of the eastern half of the old Misuri province (which became Minnesota).

Louisianne split from France during the French Revolution, when it sided with the royalists, based in Canada. In 1830, the Kingdom of Louisianne was declared, in personal union with Canada and (nominally) France. Louisianne tended to be governed as a de facto colony of Canada, and as a result was little developed. Louisianne was subdivided into two Duchies, the Duchy of Arkansas and the Duchy of Minnesota. The Duchy of Minnesota tended to be more closely aligned with Canada than with Arkansas, though remaining nominally in union with Arkansas. By the late 19th century, the two duchies were effectively independant, and in 1872, at the same time of the signing of the Treaty of Understanding and Friendship, Louisianne was formally dissolved and replaced with the Kingdoms of Arkansas and Minnesota.

Arkansas began gaining greater independance from Canada in the early 20th century, cumulating in 193? with the passage of the Arkansas Succession Act, which decreed the abolition of Salic Law within Arkansas, giving Arkansas a different succession law from Canada and Minnesota. Thus, when King Pierre I of Canada, Minnesota, and Arkansas died, his daughter became Queen Marie I of Arkansas, while his 1st cousin once removed became King Jacques I of Canada and Minnesota.

Marie's granddaughter is currently on the throne as Queen Marie II.
