The Kingdom of Louisianne (le Royaume de la Louisianne) 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 West Florida.

In 1715, Japan captured the entire territory of Louisianne. The capital of Louisianne was moved from Biloxi to New Orleans. Louisianne became Luixian-dô 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 northern 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.

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 briefly divided between Texas and Misuri between the Arkansas War and the Louisianne Rebellion.

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

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

Geography

Louisianne is bordered by the North American Confederation to the east, Misuri to the north, and Texas to the west.

Louisianne's border with the North American Confederation is defined by the Mississippi River until the 31st parallel, at which point it follows the parallel east to the Pearl River, and thence to the Gulf of Mexico

Louisanne's border with Misuri begins at the border with Texas, running along the Arkansas River until its bend southwards, at that point it follows a north-south line to the Smoky Hill River, following it to the Kansas River and thence to the Missouri River.

Louisianne's border with Texas is defined by the Sabine River from the Gulf of Mexico to the 32nd parallel, thence northwards to the Red River, thence westwards to the headwaters of the same, and northwards to the Arkansas River, where it joins the border with Misuri.

Currency

Like other North American states, Louisianne uses the North American Dollar, known as Piâtre nord-americain in French. It is subdivided into 100 sous.

The traditional currency of Louisianne was the livre divided into 20 sous. Historically, the sou was divided into 12 deniers, but inflation long ago eradicated that subdivision. For a while, inflation had eliminated the sou as well, but in 1977, the Louisianne livre was revalued, with 10 old livres becoming 1 new sou. The livre was abbreviated £ and the sou s. At the end of the livre's existence, the currency used was as follows
