Tecumseh did not die in 1813. In fact, he lived on to form his own, independent nation, known as the Shawnee confederacy. It is a multi-racial country with a capital at Vancouver. The statistics are as follows.
Nation: Shawnee Confederacy, which remained unchanged even by 1916 though this was no longer technically Shawnee
Executive Capital: Vancouver
Legislative and Judiciary Capital: Bering
Official Languages: English, Russian, Coast Salish [The Shawnee was the founding language
Official Currency: Shawnee Dollar [First instituted in 1816, even though by 1916 the Shawnee are actually no longer a component of the nation]
Ethnicity in 1816:
Approx. 80% First Nations [including Inuit]
Approx. 20% European [Mainly English and Russian]
1916:
24% Chinese
11% Inuit
29% Coast Salish and others
36% Spanish, Russian, Scottish, Metis, Quebecois,
The government is by Tribal Council, with a representative from each group, or tribe, coming to the council meeting to vote on the new High Chief. Representatives of European ethnic groups take part as chieftains.
The new Shawnee confederacy has grown in population due to the cast influx of European settlers. Also, since new European technologies have been introduced, the lifestyle of the First Nations' already in the confederacy has changed. New 'Tribetowns' have sprung up as new agricultural methods mean that the Coast Salish have more of a chance to form towns of longhouses.
Let's see where we can go from there. The premise is that the Shawnee confederacy was formed in 1816, and that it allowed new European settlers in. Also that it's boundaries are restricted, at least by 1916, to the map included here. However, in 1816 it did occupy the Midwest.
