Nova Scotia and Cree Tribes

Nova Scotia, officially known as The Republic of Nova Scotia and Cree Tribes, is a country on the North-East coast of Amerika, occupying the entire peninsula to the East of Hudson Bay and facing the Atlantic Ocean. The nation is primarily made up of European immigrants, particularly people of Scots/Irish, German and French origin. Culturally, native people, mainly the Cree, have a significant impact on society and customs and for over 50 years have maintained peace with the immigrant population. Despite this they have a less than proportionate presence in the largest urban areas as a general population and their degree of political representation is only slowly developing.

Nova Scotia has large industries in fishing, aquaculture, timber and shipbuilding. Little land can be farmed in the country and so as well as having >75% of the population living on the coast, the country's main imports are hard-to-maintain resources such as foodstuffs and metals.

Nova Scotia maintains a minimal military presence and is a relatively peaceful international force. Involvement in external conflicts is usually decided by commonplace Scotiac principles since politics is moderate in Nova Scotia (there is neither a presence of extreme political parties/movements nor a population who can be easily motivated to become a nation under such an imposing government). The nations main principles are fighting for egalitarianism, democracy and its neighbouring countries.

History
Prior to European colonisation, Nova Scotia was inhabited by numerous native tribes. These native tribes where at the time notably evolving to become theocracies under shamanism, although small in scale. As a result, the first Europeans to reach Nova Scotia admired the tribes ability to abstain from committing war on one another as was common among the tribes of the South. This was because shamanism brought a state of peace onto the land. However, it did increase hostile views towards the natives from the Europeans as they were largely afraid of their widespread cult-like societal aspects. Hostile views that did exist among European immigrants never escalated or culminated in making total war against the natives. Instead there existed small skirmishes by rogue generals that were quelled quickly.

Some Europeans were so entranced by the natives lifestyle that rumours of a land to the North where there was 24 hours of sunlight a day, double harvests, and complete peace grew among the populace. This led to Scotiacs completely preserving their previous shipbuilding culture to sail into northern isles and control the artic and northwest passages, to this day. And although Europeans never endorsed native religions, strange mythological engravings and symbols were adopted from tribal doctrines and everyday life that were often put on sides of vessels, ships, coins and other Western inventions unknowingly. This created, in combination with other tribal societal amalgamations, a strange culture on the seas, distinct from other seafaring cultures in Europa and Aziana.
