⚫ | '''Québec''', officially the '''Republic of Québec''' (French: '''République du Québec''') is a country in eastern North America, between Hudson Bay and St Lawrence River (French: ''St Laurent''). It is traditionally an isolationist nation known for its French-speaking (or Francophone) population and association with the AAA megacorporation [[Cross Applied Technologies]]. Post-2062, the Republic of Quebec opened its borders to wider trade, immigration, and tourism. While for a lengthy time the official and only legal language was French (almost since the nation's inception in 2010), English is now undergoing a trial period as a legal business language. |

− | Québec occupies the Canadian Shield, or the Ungava Region, a vast and sparsely populated region filled with coniferous forests, lakes, and rivers. It is bordered by James Bay, Ontario and Hudson Bay to the west, Atlantic Canada to the east, the UCAS to the south, and the Arctic Ocean to the north. Major waterways include the La Grande River and Saint Lawrence River. Major mountain ranges include the Laurentians and the northern extent of the Appalachian Mountains. The Gaspé Peninsula juts into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to the East. The Saint Lawrence River Valley is a fertile agricultural region, leading in the production of maple sugar (Quebec is the world's largest producer), as well as other produce and livestock. |

+ | Québec is a Semi-presidential republic. Québec is governed by a National Assembly of 125 seats (called deputies). The Parti Democratic du Québéc has held a majority in the National Assembly since the 2061 elections. The [[President of Québec]] is elected for a six year term, renewable once. |
+ | |||
+ | ===Parties=== |
||
+ | Québéc is a strong two-party state, with politics dominated by the Parti Québécois and the Parti Democratic du Québec. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The Parti Québécois (center-right) is Pro-Francophone and Pro-Protectionist, and has controlled the Presidency of Quebec since independence. The Parti Québécois is seen as distrusting treaties with countries, and supports tough French Language laws. The Parti Democratic du Québéc (center-left) is Pro-Immigration and somewhat Pro-Anglophone, and has controlled the National Assembly since [[2061]]. The Parti Democratic du Québéc is more open to Anglophone involvment in Québéc politics, including running English candidates, and supports English rights in the Constitution of Québéc. |
||
+ | Three other parties that have influence in Quebec are the pro-Anglophone Greens, the pro-Francophone the Alliance Francophone, and the pro-meta Alliance Métahumaine, with the Alliance Francophone currently out of favor, but still scheming for government seats and power. |

− | Québec's legal system in general is based on the Napoleonic Code. One wrinkle in the Code makes judges an active participant in trials, as the person responsible for bringing out all the relevant facts. The relationship between the prosecution and the defense are cooperative, in that all parties (judge, prosecution, defense) are charged with bringing the correct evidence to light. All trials are done in French. |

− | Québec's laws are often described as "schizoid", in that there are many contradictory texts and exception clauses throughout the legal code. For example, Smartlinked weapons are legal as long as they do not have full autofire, but Smart goggles and Smartgun adapters are illegal. |
