The United Provinces of America (U.P.A) is a member state of the British Empire and Commonwealth (B.E.C) located in North America. Founded as a sub autonomous nation of 18th century Great Britain the United Provinces of America developed as a powerful member of the British influenced world. Expanding from its core of the Atlantic Coast of North America the U.P.A covers the breadth of the continent to the Pacific and Arctic Oceans. Informally the U.P.A is referred to as British America or simply America. In its history the America benefited from British lead industrialization before becoming a technological leader in its own right. The culture of the U.P.A is a production of its colonial and industrial origins, being primarily influenced from Great Britain, West Africa and, Amerindiana. Historically America hosted strong facial and regional identities. However, in the present, British America has created its own national identity defined more by being in the New World and its current role in B.E.C than its colonial past. America is a key exporter of grain and petroleum and a long time manufacturing base both empire and world wide. Since the 2000's the U.P.A has boomed as world leader in hi-tech and internet technology.

History

Origins

Following the defeat of a local colonial uprising 1777, the British Government took steps to ensure that the colonies would not revolt again. The United Provinces of America were formed on April 16th, 1780, from the 13 colonies and the Districts (later Provinces) of Maine and Vermont.

The new nation was to be formed, autonomous of, still subservient to, the British Parliament, whose authority was still required on the more important matters of state.

Government and Politics

The executive is theoretically the monarch but the Governor-General holds most of the power. The President-General is always the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons. The Governor-General has been reduced to the eyes and ears of the monarch.

The judicial is the Judge's Council, which is composed by the Chief Justice from the supreme court of each province.

The legislative is the Parliament of America. It is bicameral. The lower, larger house is the House of Commons. The upper, smaller house is the House of Senators.
