After much deliberation from the U.S. and Canada the Republic of Marquette has been formed. This is huge achievement for the citizens of the country as they have always been somewhat independent from the U.S.
The new Marquette Flag
The blue side represents the many rivers, and Lake Canada the largest lake in the country. The Green side represents the land and wildlife that is so important to the country. The Golden Dragon represents strength and power, and determination.

Government:
The government is currently set up as a Parliamentary Republic and is based out of the capital city of New Chatham. Currently Parliament is split equally with 25 seats held by the MCP (Marquette Conservative Party) and the other 25 seats held by members of the MNLP (Marquette National Liberal Party), making up the total of 50 seats. Prime Minister Louie Marc Boudreau was elected after his 5 tenure as mayor of Ste. Frederic.

The Marquette Supreme Court hears all cases that escalate to a national level, and also oversees the actions of Parliament to make sure their decisions are within the limits of the Marquette Doctrine signed two days after the country's independence. The old Chateau de Claremont was recently converted into the Supreme Court building.

Demographics:
The country has a population of roughly 2.6 million. Made up of 68% English speaking and 30% French speaking citizens, with another 2% of other languages. The country covers about 650 square miles, however 90% of the population resides in the Quad Cities Metro Area. Major population centers are as follows:
New Chatham: 500,000
Port Charlotte: 400,000
Renior: 350,000
Kane River: 300,000
Ste. Frederic: 200,000
White Water: 55,000
Ste. Frederic is the only city among that list located outside of the Quad Cities Metro Area.
Economy:
Marquette has a growing economy which is still recovering from a recession that caused many to lose their jobs, and widespread abandonment. However revitalisation projects have transformed the urban landscape cutting all abandonded buildings nearly 65%. In fact unemployment is at its lowest, near 2.6%, and manufacturing jobs have risen substantially. Major exports include petroleum products, chemicals, and timber.
