Protectorate of Pacifica

The Protectorate of the Pacifican Islands was a former British colony in North America. It was established in July 1, 1823 following the transfer of the Ektæó Gold Coast Company (Ektæó: Compángnij Coste Auoră) to the British Empire. Despite being in North America, it was rarely considered a part of British North America.

History
Ektæózeruich went under some hard times following the conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars. While they had the opportunity to colonise and conquer more areas, they were not able to effectively deliver their messages to the settlers across the Americas. New Tæóich mostly remained unaffected since they began to drift away from their homeland. It is possible that they could've declared their independence had the British and the Americans decided to not be interested in the region. For the most part, they each wanted the area for its strategic location near British Columbia since both sides wanted to claim the land around it. Settlements were made north of most of the New Tæóich settlements from the 1800s onwards. Some of these would later be settled by a large French population.

As per the Treaty of Borea, the Ektæó colony was sold to the Hudson's Bay Company and the United States on 18 September 1822 at $25 million ($636 million today). It also included that Saint Benedict Island would remain under British rule (or whoever the empire transferred it to) for 99 years.

Following the transfer, the residents of New Tæóich were never notified of such a change since the people who were supposed to deliver the news drowned in the middle of the Southern Ocean. When the British and Americans began to surround the southern part of the island, they thought it was an invasion. Many ships were set on fire following a number of confrontations. Even after they had found out the truth, the rebellions came and went until the late 1830s. The success of each insurgency varied greatly, but the most successful one killed off 200 redcoats that were in close proximity of Saint Benedict Island before reinforcements arrived a week later to quash the spirits of the residents.

The use of Pacifican Ektæó declined (except in certain cities and rural areas) as many were encouraged and forced to use the English language in order to get better opportunities. Bedford, like Montreal, had a large sum of Anglophone Pacificans that nearly made half of the city's population in the 1860s. The New Tæóich residents were often seen as a rebellious group, but relations between the British and the Americans were no better. Many were in conflict over parcels of disputed land. However, after the Americans left the island in 1845, the conflicts began to die down.

Transition period (1890s-1908)
Independence was starting to become an opportunity when the British Empire increased Pacifica's autonomy to be equal to Canada's, though the protectorate's population was starting to decline slowly. Peaceful gatherings to propose its independence were starting to be commenced as early as 1900. These demands were received with some resentment initially, but a transition into an independent Pacifica commenced. On February 23, 1908, Pacifica's constitution passed in parliament, making the country independent.
