Forum:What Commonwealth was the State Of Canada in?

I don't know for sure, but my guess is that as of the Great War, Canada was just US territory, not part of a Commonwealth, which were only for "integral" parts of the US: i.e., the states. I'd guess Canada would probably have been incorporated into a few Commonwealths if the annexation had continued for another decade or so (maybe a Quebecois Commonwealth, an Eastern Anglophone Canada Commonwealth, and a Canadian Great Plains Commonwealth, and a Pacific Canadian Commonwealth, at a rough guess). Between the annexation and the Great War, Canada's status was probably like that of Guam, American Somoa, or Peurto Rico, or, perhaps more aptly, like the newly acquired territories in the Great Plains before they were states, or US territories like Alaska and Hawai'i before statehood. (Ironically, of course, Peurto Rico is a "commonwealth" in today's terminology)
