The United Canadian and American States, also referred to as the UCAS, is a federal republic in eastern North America, stretching from the Atlantic in the east to the beginning of the Rocky Mountains. It shares land borders with Quebec, Algonkian-Manitou, Sioux, Pueblo and CAS, and shares a marine border with France's dependency of St Pierre et Miquelon island. The state of Seattle on the West Coast of North America is enclaved in the Salish-Shidhe territory.
The country has 31 states, which have a level of local autonomy according to the system of federalism, and a special district, the Federal District of Columbia, encompassing the capital Washington DC. The state of Seattle is sometimes designed as the metroplex of Seattle, though it possess all the attributes of an Union State. A UCAS citizen may be referred as an American or a Canadian, UCASer or Canadian-American.
