Canada (Dominion), independent Québec and 6 other nations played in La Meute QC's Victoria 3 sessions. Strategy sheets, RP potential, lore ideas and 4 historical scenarios covering the 1867 Confederation, Louis Riel and the Conscription Crisis.
British North America in 1836 is a territory in full transformation. The Province of Canada (Upper and Lower Canada merged in 1840) is under British rule, but francophone Québec resists culturally and politically. This period covers pivotal events for French Canadian identity:
Canada starts as a British subject and gradually gains independence. The ideal nation for playing the tension between loyalty to the Empire and building a national identity. Enormous economic potential with its natural resources.
"Elected as the first francophone Prime Minister in 1867, I defend a confederation where Québec's rights are guaranteed — but how far will London let me go?"
Independent Québec is not a starting nation in the base game — but it can be reached through Canadian separation events or community mods. It's the most ambitious and rewarding RP scenario for our community.
"The 1837 Patriotes Rebellion was only the beginning. Québec will be free — through diplomacy or by force if necessary."
The rising power of the Victorian era. Playing the USA in RP multiplayer against Canadian players naturally creates the best friction — Manifest Destiny, expansionism, potential civil war. Recommended for an experienced player who wants to drive RP for everyone else.
"America belongs to Americans. British Canada has no place on this continent — by diplomacy or by force, we will stretch from sea to sea."
The world's superpower in 1836. Playing the Empire in multiplayer with Canadian players creates a unique RP dynamic — are you a benevolent Empire granting autonomy, or a colonizer maintaining dominance? The perfect nation for a player who wants to be the narrative antagonist.
"The Empire does not abandon its subjects — but it is not blind either. Canada is precious, and those who would tear it from the Crown will answer to the Royal Navy."
Québec tries to block or renegotiate the 1867 Confederation. The Empire wants the union to consolidate its interests. English Canada wants the merger. Who will win the standoff?
The United States claims the North-West Territories. The Empire defends its Dominion. Canada must choose: move closer to Washington or stay under the Crown?
Louis Riel and the Métis rise up. English Canada wants repression. French Québec wants clemency. The USA eyes the unrest to meddle in the Prairies.
An independent Québec seeks investors. France proposes an economic alliance. The USA offers free trade. Who will shape the francophone economy of America?
Québec's natural ally, colonial power rivaling the Empire. Strong diplomatic RP.
Neighbor of the USA, fragile independence. Permanent tension with Washington. Resistance RP.
German unification = major geopolitical shift. Impact on the European and colonial balance.
Expansionist land power. Rivalry with the Empire in Central Asia. Militarist potential.
Spectacular modernization. Going from a feudal state to a world power — a perfect narrative arc.
Tropical empire with slavery to abolish. Social revolution guaranteed mid-game.
Reserve your nation in #victoria3-inscription on Discord before Sunday at 6 PM.
Canada (Dominion) is ideal for beginners: abundant natural resources, position between the UK and the USA, and a forgiving learning curve. For a bigger challenge, independent Québec (via events or mod) offers the most ambitious RP scenario.
These nations have strong narrative potential for a Québec community: francophone-anglophone tensions, the 1867 Confederation, Louis Riel and Métis resistance, an ambiguous relationship with the British Empire and the United States. The referee can add custom events specific to these nations.
Yes — in La Meute QC's Victoria 3 sessions, no nation is off-limits. Nations like Mexico, Brazil, Prussia or Japan each have distinct RP potential. The reduced speed (2–3) leaves time for diplomacy even for smaller powers.
