Canadianopolia

Canadianopolia was founded by Canadians (from the past, around Confederation time or something). Its capital is New Ottawa which is a bustling city. However, even though the country is a good one, it is marked with some bad things.

While Racial segregatiom was used in the USA, it was segregation of a sexist kind that was used here. Men and women were separate in many things. It was called the Sexist Apartheid by Julia Hallmark (may change her name later), a women's rights advocate. The Sexist segregation is still around today, though women do get voting rights, they are still split from men.

The government was a men's only club, till the Equality Act was made which allowed women to run for office. Women are either stay at home mothers or women with careers (It took some things for this to be possibly). Racism was not really practiced here, it was mainly eclipsed by Sexism. Feminists do exist here, as do Chauvinists.

In schools, boys and girls were separated. Sometimes, schools had a girls only half and a boys only half, others had mixed classes but a border or something was between the class, separating a boys side and girls side.

Suffragettes did exist, they did try to gain the right to vote for women. The women later did get the right to vote, but sexist segregation and other things still existed, regardless. In fact, for sometime, the women had segregated voting booths. One side for men, another for women.

Women do have some rights but the Sexist Segregation still exists in some types. Some discussions over the issue do happen in the government.

The national religion is Christianity, offical language is English. The government is led by the Prime Minister, it is based on the Westminister System of the UK.

The current party in power is the National Party, led by John Shaw (thinking of name for the Prime Minister), Prime Minister. The National Party has a majority in the Canadianopolian Parliament.

Canadianopolia was neutral in things like World War I and II. John Shaw is respected for his good term in office as Prime Minister. The Monarchy of the UK is respected in the nation but Canadianopolia is not in the Commonwealth, it is now a Constitutional Monarchy or what not, like Australia for example.

For now will I stop this intro. I am still planning things out and I may continue later. I am a newbie to NS. Thank you for your time in reading this. Also, I would like diplomacy!
