Canada

Canada was a pre-War country, annexed by the United States before the Great War.

Background
Canada is a nation located to the north of the United States separating Alaska (part of the North West Commonwealth) from the rest of the mainland US. Sunset Sarsaparilla was sold in the nation before the Grate War, with their sales figures being reported back to the company's headquarters near Las Vegas.

Before the annexation, Canada was referred to as Little America by many in the US. The begining of the annexation began in 2059, as the Anchorage front line was established in Alaska, to protect its natural resources, especially the crude oil fields, from the People's Republic of China. As large parts of the Alaskan pipeline cross Canadian territory (British Columbia primarily), the U.S. government pressured the Canadian government into allowing American military units to station near the pipeline and provide security, not believing that the Canadian troops stationed along the pipeline already would be sufficient enough to protect it.

As the Chinese invasion of Alaska began in 2066, the increasing U.S. military presence in Canada began to raise tensions to the point of riots. The United States military did not limit its activities in Canada to just guarding the pipeline. Despite Canadian protests, the country's resources were exploited and stretched to the breaking point to support the American war effort. By 2069, Canada had now fully become Little America in the minds of U.S. citizens, with vast stretches of timberland destroyed beyond recovery. The tipping point came in 2072. As the U.S. escalated its exploitation of Canada's resources, her people took to the streets. Protests and riots erupted in several Canadian cities and an attempt to sabotage the Alaskan pipeline by unknown forces was foiled, but provided the U.S. Government an excuse to officially annex Canada, where as the former province's of Canada became US territories.

After the annexation, Vault-Tec Corporation expanded into Canada, offering space in a vault constructed there. The annexation also resulted in veterans returning to the states seeking medical care, which resulted in increased business for clinics. After the war, Dave Handy mentions seeing a movie featuring Vikki Goldman in Canada.
