North American affairs

[John Cowan <cowan@locke.ccil.org>]

I have figured out the names and affiliations of the colonies in
North America as of the end of the Seven Years' War:

Newfoundland (English)
New Scotland (Scottish)
Canada (English/Kemrese joint administration; 95% speak French)
Massachusetts Bay (English)
Connecticut (English)
New Hampshire (English)
Rhode Island (English, many other nationalities)
Castreleon New (Kemrese, many Dutch and English)
The Jerseys (English)
Pennsylvania (English/Kemrese joint administration;
	Pennsylvaanisch is also an official language, spoken by 40%;
	colony is called "Pennsylvanien" in German/Pennsylvaanisch).
New Sweden (English)
Ter lla Fair (Kemrese; most inhabitants are Guddelic)
Virginia (English)
Carolina (English)
Hendrica (English; many other nationalities)

Fearing an outbreak of anti-Protestant repression on the part of the
home countries, especially England, and resisting taxation by the home
Parliaments on constitutional grounds, representatives of all of these
except Canada met in 1803 to issue the Solemn League and Convenant,
declaring that the mediaeval doctrine of *cuius regio, eius religio*
was a dead letter, and that "these colonies are, and of right ought
to be, free and independent States subject only to Their Majesties";
independent, that is, of the home Parliaments.

The Solemn League was eventually, if reluctantly, approved by Costentin
IX for Kemr, and Charlotte I for England and Scotland.  The war against
Napoleon was expensive enough without going to war in North America
as well, which had not been paying its taxes since 1774 anyway, when
a local tax revolt in Boston spread to the other states.
