This article contains a list of prominent governing officials residing in The New Quebec State. The list starts with the established Premier of Quebec, Cédric Lésage, and the reigning Cleric, Maria Cordéaux.
Nouveau quebecois is a 
Clerical Parliamentary Republic, Catholic theocracy, and last remaining Crusader State in existence. Critics of the current Premier additionally identify the state as a Clerical Fascist country, against the government's claims. It is governed by two branches of legislature, the National Assembly of Quebec (French: Assemblée Nationale du Québec), the parliamentary legislature which constitutes elected representatives of the state, and the Church of Montreal (French: Église du Montréal), the clerical legislature which is the authoritarian-illiberal theocratic element of the Quebec government. The 24th Premier Cédric Lésage oversees both legislative branches, while effective deputy Saint Maria Cordéaux oversees strictly the theocratic legislature under the Premier. Premier Cédric Lésage is accredited with adopting "The New System" (French: Le Nouveau Système) which abolishes population-zone based voting for geographical based voting, giving regions with less-population equal voting power with comparative population zones. The goal of The New System is to allow all citizens of all classes, backgrounds, and residence to be equally represented without being oppressed by a "tyranny of the majority".
Both branches of the government of Quebec is centralised under the all-encompassing Office of the Premier, of which most activities of the government are signed by. The Office of the Premier executes judicial, national, and legal authority on all levels of state. It's political power is defined by the Nation-State Act of 1980, which defined the parameters that the then supposed Nation-State of Quebec should be governed upon.
The government of Quebec takes the majority of its revenue through a low progressive income tax (aprox. 15% c. 1980), and various other taxes (such as carbon, corporate and capital gains taxes), equalization payments from the federal government, transfer payments from other provinces and direct payments. By some measures Quebec was the highest taxed province which attributed to secession. Lésage's government promised to reduce the taxes in exchange of popular support.
The government of Quebec awards an order of merit called the National Order of Quebec (French: l'Ordre National du Québec). It is the Quebecois-equivalent to the Congressional Medal of Honour. It is often attributed to members of the Sûreté du Québec though it can be awarded to any citizen. Reigning Cleric of Quebec Saint Maria Cordéaux is a recipient.

Cédric 'Alexandra' Lésage (born February 4, age 21) serves as the 24th Premier of Quebec and the 1st Premier of The New Quebec State since December 25, 1980, the day of it's establishment. He rose to power after uniting partisans of the Union Nationale, Front de Libération du Québec, National Unity Party, and various other breakaway separatists into a Catholic-dominated Secessionist force to form a new national federation of Quebec.
His reign was later labeled as La Nouveau-Noirceur ("The New Darkness") by his critics, in reference to the Catholic fascist-esque rule of Maurice Duplessis, but is also considered the greatest period of Quebec history by traditionalist conservatives who point out the Lésage government's support of libertarian economic and conservative social development based on strong family values routed in Catholic tradition, support of private property rights vis-a-vis growing state and labour union challenges, and his strong opposition not only to Communism, but also to secularism, leftist-separatism, and non-conservative political trends and movements that have changed and fragmented Quebec politics and society over the difficult national reformation come the end of the Secessionist War, starting with the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s under his predecessor René Lévesque.
During the Secessionist War, the liberal, far-left and Canadian loyalists were unsuccessful in challenging the dominance of Lésage's Union Nationale in 3 elections following the emergence of The New Quebec State.
Lésage championed rural areas, provincial rights, economic development, strong investment in Catholic education and anti-Communism, and had a hard stance with the trade unions. His political allignment is often considered a radical variant of Clerical Fascism, although Lésage detests this claim.
Lésage was born in Laval, across the Prairies River from Montreal. The son of huntress Maria Corgnet and local liberal politician Jean Lésage, Lésage was born into an atheist family. Lésage was trained with rifles, hunting minor game in his youth, and was "considerably skilled" with the Canadian Ross Rifle and fascinated with combat and war-games as reported by neighbours and childhood friends. He was distant from his parents, however, having run away from home on four different occasions. In all four accounts, the Sûreté du Québec reported his desires to flee to France and enlist in the French Foreign Legion, who eventually blacklisted him from the organisation.
Lésage temporarily moved to Montreal at age 15 and studied at the Université de Montréal where Lésage adopted Catholicism. He obtained degrees in Theological Studies, Biblical Research, and Philosophy, but was reportedly a troublesome and highly politicised student, scoring poorly in other mandatory subjects apart from languages. Lésage would comment on this, "what other studies matter apart from that of Christ the King?" Historians agree that Lésage was quickly radicalised in the Université de Montréal and condemn the institution for it. Lésage would place the school under "special protective status" after seizing power. Lésage owes his conversion to Catholicism to an "especially pious Montrealer" presumed to be Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, a French Catholic visiting Montreal at the time of Lésage's residence.
In January of 1980, he returned to his home town during the rising tensions of the upcoming Secessionist War. While both his parents fought on the sides of the loyalists, Lésage opted for Secession. His father was killed in action participating in the defence of Laval, and his mother was banished from the city before fleeing to the now-capital of Canada, Vancouver, where she resides today. Lésage has not revoked this official banishment, and is presumably not in contact with his family today.
Fighting in the Secessionist War
Lésage was quick to take up partisan action against the "Federalists" and joined the Catholic Cell of Laval against his parents wishes. Partisan fighting for Lésage and other young fighters of the Catholic Cell was quite surreal. In the daytime, he would awake before his parents, steal his father's rifles and cartridges, participate in line-battles with "Federalists", firing over and across the Prairies River, return just in time before dinner to return his father's rifle and replace spent cartridges with wooden blanks, finish homework for schooling, before going to bed. On school days, Lésage and other young Secessionists would carve holes in their textbooks and bibles, and hide pistols within them to participate in combat during lunch breaks.
On the eves before battle, Lésage would reportedly be seen romanticizing with Maria Cordéaux by the Prairies River whenever combat were not being held there. Cordéaux, then Standard-Bearer of the Catholic Cell of Secessionists, would later be appointed Cleric of Quebec and in-charge of religious affairs of Quebec by Lésage. Because of this, rumours of affairs between Lésage and Cordéaux persist today, despite the former being lawfully wed.
Lésage would later lead Catholic forces in a charge across the Prairies River in what would be known as the Final Battle of the River Prairies, where Catholic Forces drove "Federalists" out of Laval. Lésage's father, Jean Lésage, would be killed in this battle on the side of the Federalists when his weapon misfired fake wooden bullets that had been substituted by Lésage, who was using his father's real bullets. Lésage, though adamant about the death of his father, was and remains apathetic about the circumstances of his death, stating "[my father] was not forgiven by Christ on Earth, perhaps [he] will be forgiven by the Lord in Heaven."
Lésage was hailed as paramount to the Catholic victory at the River Prairies, and would later find himself leading Catholic Forces across Laval in the greater scope of the Secessionist War. Lésage retired from frontline combat to become an acting chaplain though he would detest this role as he states, "Chaplains are not necessary when the entire corp is composed of devout and pious men." Lésage would involved himself in the politics of combat, unifying various Secessionist Forces in a military campaign westwards into The Greater Toronto Area, then eastwards into Labrador. On his campaigns, he met and married Canadian athlete Corinne Lagarde.
Lésage favoured rural progress and free-markets over city development and introduced various agricultural credits during his first term. This would later lead to the popular degrade of The Greater Toronto Area under Quebecois rule. Lésage was also noted for investment in social services and education in Catholic schools. Lésage also supported mandatory military service for youths aged 14 to 19, but opposed Quebecois involvement in the various proxy wars of the Cold War, and only deployed paramilitary forces to further Catholic interests. His rise to power in the Union Nationale and subsequent Catholic-conversion of it has often had the active support of the Roman Catholic Church. He would reiterate the campaigning phrases of Maurice Duplessis, often citing him as inspiration, and in political campaigns often employed the slogan "Le ciel est bleu; l'enfer est rouge" ("Heaven is blue (UN); Hell is red (Liberal)"). The government sponsored persecution of religious sects opposed to Catholicsm and systematic persecution of non-Catholics under the reign of the Church of Montreal, now going on in The New Quebec State, with enthusiastic official and judicial sanction, has taken a turn which suggests that the Sûreté du Québec has transformed into an Inquisition that has returned to French Canada. For this and other policies enforcing the dominance of the Catholic Church, strict immigration policies, and lack of personal and societal freedoms has warranted him Clerical Fascist categorisation by critics.
Lésage is often credited with the radicalisation and militarisation of the Sûreté du Québec. As the only acting law-enforcement and military agency in The New Quebec State, the Sûreté du Québec has become a paramilitary and special-forces structure as opposed to a civil police force most critics recall. The Sûreté du Québec is often given religiously motivated special tasks to enforce Catholic dominance in it's population, becoming the root of religious persecution and discrimination in Quebec. This has warranted him the nickname of "The Inquisitor" among oppressed sects in Quebec.
In foreign affairs, Lésage has maintained cordial relations with the Republic of Ireland, citing their mutual anti-Anglo sentiment and sympathy for the Irish Republican Army, who supported the Secessionists. Lésage also maintains strong relations with France who were the prime supporters of Quebecois Secessionist apart from The United States who hosts the closest relations and frequent trade with Quebec. Lésage, though adamant in support of reforming ties with Canada, is also a fierce backer of the Greater Quebec geographical theory which dampens relations between the two nations.
Apart from condemnation and accusations of religious fanaticism and political persecution, Lésage is often the centre of election-rigging controversies. The electoral system put in place by Lésage, dubbed "Le Nouveau Système" ("The New System"), abolishes population-zone based voting for geographical based voting, giving regions with greater opposition and greater population equal electoral power with less-populated rural areas where Lésage enjoys the most support. Critics state that only because of this system, Union Nationale has been able to maintain an illegal dominance over Quebec for four elections through, despite Lésage having won the popular vote on numerous occasions.
Lésage is also the centre of unconfirmed allegations of unfaithfulness and infidelity. Accusations of unlawful romantic relations with Saint Maria Cordéaux, effective deputy to Lésage, run rampant through parliament and regions with high opposition to Lésage. Lésage dismisses the allegations as "slanderous, heretical", and "created to sow disunity in Quebec".
In recent years, Lésage has made himself accustomed for substance abuse, including medically certified alcohol and nicotine addictions which have directly affected his term in office.

Maria 'Leighton' Cordéaux (born December 10, age 19), canonized as "Virgin Saint Cordéaux" by the Church of Montréal, is the acting Cleric of Quebec and the only living Saint under the Church of Montréal and Roman Catholic Church, though is not venerated in the latter. As Cleric of Quebec, she is the sole authority for religious governance in Quebec and effective deputy to Premier of Quebec Cédric Lésage.
Characterized by her fair rule in her undemocratic office of governance, Saint Cordéaux has been the centre of religious worship and acclaim across Quebec. As acting Cleric for the Church of Montréal, she holds religious authority in her denomination comparable to the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, making Saint Cordéaux one of the highest-ranking female Christian officials to date.
During the Quebecois Secessionist War, Saint Cordéaux served in Laval's Catholic Cell as a Standard Bearer and field-medic, and participated in the Final Battle of the River Prairies, where Catholic Forces drove "Federalists" out of city. For the latter duration of the war, Cordéaux served as a principle propaganda and religious figure for Secessionist forces, and was responsible for dictating the Holy War. Cordéaux would never actually participate in a combat role during any of her engagements.
Maria 'Leighton' Cordéaux was born in Laval on the 10th of December, 1976. Her father, Joseph Cordéaux, was the Bishop for all churches in Laval. Her mother, Femillia Castellano, was a Spanish-immigrant, white-supremacist, and Francoist, who fled the Spanish Kingdom after Franco's death. Since Cordéaux was the only child for several years, Joseph wanted her to carry on the family name and secure the family fortune in religious affairs, however, her mother, Castellano, perpetuated the belief of Corruption in the Catholic Church and urged Cordéaux and her father to distance themselves from the Holy See. Cordéaux later had a younger brother, Amalie Cordéaux, who was fatally wounded at the age of 15 during a minor skirmish between Secessionist and Federalists on the outskirts of Montreal.
Saint Cordéaux fell in love with the arts and religion in her childhood. She began to paint Christian art and learned to read and write in Latin by creating original prayers at the age of twelve, making her trilingual (French, English, Latin). She was also athletic, and at the age of fifteen was a prolific dancer. Her mother was confident her daughter would grow up to be successful in the field of arts and therefore gave her full support, unlike her father, who was not interested in his daughter's artistic inclinations, and preferred she became more involved in religious affairs. When she was 17, Cordéaux attended a presentation of David and Goliath which inspired her deeply. It was at this play where Cordéaux first met Lésage. At the dismay of her mother, Cordéaux pursued biblical studies. Her father instead wanted to provide his daughter with an education that could lead to a more dignified occupation then nunnery. At the warning of her mother, Cordéaux remained cautious of the Catholic Church, up until the outbreak of the Secessionist War.
Secessionist War & Church of Montreal
During the Secessionist War, Cordéaux and her mother backed the Secessionist Front. Reverend Cordéaux had to be persuaded and his Cathedral was seized by Secessionists before he surrendered to the Secessionists without further incident. Reverend Cordéaux did not give the Secessionists his blessing, and stepped down. Cordéaux was elevated to take her father's place, and the Church of Montreal (separate from the Roman Catholic Church) was founded. Cordéaux and her mother campaigned with the Secessionists across Quebec in non-combat roles, and as religious propaganda figures which elevated the dominance of the Catholic Faction of Secessionists. Cordéaux's mother was shot and killed by CAF Officer Patrick Cloutier in the Siege of Toronto.
Cordéaux in her teenage years was given the task of rebuilding and reforming the Quebecois denomination of the Catholic Church with the blessing of former Pope Paul VI. The Quebecois were loyal to the Roman Catholic Church until the end of his papacy, which broke Quebecois faith in the Holy See. The Church of Montreal follows traditional Roman Catholic virtues and teachings and follows Monarchical French tradition, but warns against the vulnerability of corruption in St. Peter's Chair. It advocates against the incumbent Pope Francis, citing that the number of Christians in the world is decreasing: therefore the Pope is inable to fulfil his duties, and Christians must verge their own path to restore the glory of the faith. Cordéaux states that should men of good will return to the Vatican, then the Church of Montreal will secede back into the Roman Catholic denomination.
Because of Cordéaux's popularity with French-Canadians, Lésage reluctantly elevated her status and the status of the new Church of Montreal to high governance of the Free Quebec State, and through to the formation of the New Quebec State.
With the position of Cleric established at the age of 19, Cordéaux was reported to be healthy and expected to reign for a long lifetime. Cordéaux garnered a sizeable cult personality in Spain because of her Spanish heritage and Francoist mother, improving relations and legitimacy of the Church with the Spanish Government. Many media sources reported on Cordéaux being the first female Christian leader with such a following. Her military service as a standard bearer drew comparisions to Joan of Arc, being dubbed "La Pucelle du Québec" ("The Maiden of Quebec"). Cordéaux's first actions as Cleric of Quebec was to immediately campaign for international recognition of the denomination and of the New State, beginning with The United States.
As Cleric, her manner is more graceful and liberal than that of her immediate predecessors and of Lésage. She is acclaimed to radiate hope and optimism where Lésage lacks. At her first media audience, the Cleric said of the Secessionists: "The men who give us this spirit of peace, the poor men", and then added "For this, I would like a poor Church, for the poor Quebecois, and for the suffering French-Canadian".
Cordéaux's policies as Cleric of Quebec centre around forgiveness and lenience, as opposed to the more authoritive figures of government central to Lésage. Lésage's government was dubbed La Nouveau-Noirceur ("The New Darkness") by his critics, whereas Cordéaux's governance was dubbed La Nouvelle Lumière ("The New Light") in contrast. Because of Cordéaux's effective authority over the Sûreté du Québec, Church Sanctuary is still in effect in Quebec, and unless a refugee poses an immediate danger to the other inhabitants of the Church, only the Escadron d'Église ("Church Police"; a specific division of the Sûreté du Québec directly commanded by the Church) has the authority to infringe on this right. Quebec is the only country in the world where religious sanctuary is a respected, legally defined right, and not only a symbolic recognition. In the final days of the Secessionist War, hundreds of Federalists gathered in the Cathedrals to claim this right, which was respected.
Cordéaux's religious teachings following traditional Roman Catholic equivalents, but centre around forgiveness, protection of the environment, social welfare, pro-life, decentralisation of of central and clerical authority, and a "Don't ask, don't tell" policy to LGB issues which is radical by Quebec's societal standards. Scholars estimate that should Cordéaux participate in elections, she would oust Lésage with a 55% majority, mostly coming from liberal and left-leaning populations, and urban regions outside of Montreal.
For her service in the Secessionist War, and for her continued service as Cleric of Quebec, Cordéaux has been the recipient of many awards, medals, and titles, including both native and foreign from Quebec. She regularly makes religious missions to other countries, including Canada. Because of her popularity, she is often the de facto Foreign Affairs Officer of Quebec.
Cordéaux is the center of controversies surrounding sexual and marital relations with incumbent Premier of Quebec, Cédric Lésage, though these rumours are traced to areas with high opposition to Lésage, and co-in-turn high support of Cordéaux. These rumours are mostly accusatory towards the former. Though Lésage has been dismissal of his relationship with Cordéaux, citing as "strictly professional", Cordéaux has been more open, stating that they attended school together, were childhood friends, practised sharpshooting together, and regularly spoke during war-time, providing insight into Lésage's childhood.
Cordéaux is often accused of funnelling counterfeit money, drugs, and alcohol seized by the Escadron d'Église ("Church Police"), which is the effective Vice Squad (Morality Police) of Quebec. The recipients of these illicit deals are often attributed to various criminal rings native to Skyhooked and Stanier though this is unproven and seemingly xenophobic. In response, on February 24, 1981, the Church of Montreal announced it was establishing a secretariat for it's economy, to be responsible for all economic, financial and administrative activities of the church and it's faithful, headed by Cardinal Christian Fière. Cleric Saint Maria Cordéaux also appointed an auditor-general authorized to carry out random audits of any agency at any time, which was already a right held by the Sûreté du Québec but lacked in divine approval.

The Church of Montreal (French: Église du Montréal), formally known as the Catholic Church of Quebec, is the newest Christian church, with approximately 10 million baptised Catholics nationwide as of 1980. As one of the world's youngest continuously functioning religious institution, it has played a prominent role in the history and development of Quebecois society. The church is headed by the living Saint Maria 'Leighton' Cordéaux, known as the Cleric.
The beliefs of the Church are based on the Nicene Creed. The Church teaches that it is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission, that it's bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the female Cleric, as opposed to the countable Pope, is the pure successor to Saint Peter upon whom primacy was conferred by Jesus Christ. It maintains that it practises the original Christian faith, reserving infallibility, passed down by sacred French tradition.
Of its seven sacraments the Eucharist is the principal one, celebrated liturgically in the Mass. The Church teaches that through consecration by a priest the sacrificial bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ. The Virgin Mary is venerated in the Catholic Church as Mother of God and Queen of Heaven, honoured in dogmas and devotions. Its teaching includes Divine Mercy, sanctification through faith and evangelisation of the Gospel as well as Catholic social teaching, which emphasises voluntary support for the sick, the poor, and the afflicted through the corporal and spiritual works of mercy.
Church Sanctuary is still in effect in Quebec, and unless a refugee poses an immediate danger to the other inhabitants of the Church, only the Escadron d'Église ("Church Police"; a specific division of the Sûreté du Québec directly commanded by the Church) has the authority to infringe on this right. Quebec is the only country in the world where religious sanctuary is a respected, legally defined right, and not only a symbolic recognition. In the final days of the Secessionist War, hundreds of Federalists gathered in the Cathedrals to claim this right, which was respected.
Sedevacantism is the position, held by some traditionalist Catholics and the Church of Montreal. It proposes that the present occupier of the Holy See is not truly Pope due to the mainstream church's espousal of what is seen as the heresy of modernism and that, for lack of a valid pope, the See has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958.
The term "sedevacantism" is derived from the Latin phrase "sede vacante", which means "the chair [of Saint Peter] is vacant". The phrase is commonly used to refer specifically to a vacancy of the Holy See from the death or resignation of a Pope to the election of his successor. "Sedevacantism" as a term in English appears to date from the 1980s, in relation to Quebecois Church Latin, though the movement itself is older.
Among those who maintain that the see of Rome, occupied by what they declare to be an illegitimate pope, was really vacant, some have chosen an alternative pope of their own. The Church of Montreal suggests that the last legitimate Pope was Pope Paul VI, who, during the rising nationalist sentiment in Quebec suggested that Quebec was [or should] be an in dependant nation. His successor, Pope John Paul I, condemned Communism, Marxist-Leninism, and the far-left, which ostracised the leftists separatists of Quebec and damaged relations between the Quebec and the Vatican.
When non-communists Secessionist demagogues emerged dominant in Quebec, the Retour au Vatican (VAT) faction was created to promote a return to the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church. The party receives moderate support and is condoned by the reigning Premier. Talks have been suspended, but Quebec and the Vatican remain on decent to good terms, and the Church of Montreal is recognised as an official denomination of Christianity.
The Church of Montreal cites the importance of female religious leaders to promote "purity", though the position of Cleric can be occupied by a male. Cleric Maria Cordéaux is a virgin, and cites the decreasing number of Christians in the world as evidence that the current Pope is not the rightful heir to St. Peter's Chair, and is incapable of restoring the glory of the Papal States. Therefore, the mission of the Church of Montreal is to increase the number of Christians in the world through various means.
The Nouveau quebecois budget includes the various line of Christian Churches and Cathedrals, and is supported financially by the sale of religious stamps, coins, medals and artefacts, and by Holy Scripture publications sales. The incomes and living standards of lay workers are comparable to those of counterparts who work in the Vatican City. Other industries include printing, the production of mosaics, and the manufacture of staff uniforms.
The Church of Montreal is also a financial agency situated in Montreal that conducts worldwide religious financial activities. It has multilingual ATMs with instructions in Latin, the only ATM in the world apart from Vatican City with this feature. The Church which employs nearly 2,000 people, had a surplus of 6.7 million Canadian Dollars in 1980 that is kept in bank for interest purposes.
Quebec applies a form of government in which the Christian God is recognized as the supreme ruling authority, giving divine guidance to human intermediaries that manage the day to day affairs of the government. Theocratic affairs of state are dictated by the Church of Montreal which is led by Saint Maria Cordéaux. The position of Cleric is eternal lest the holder resigns. The Cleric is considered a position of Divine Rule and though legally subordinate to the Premier of Quebec, to overrule and interfere with the decisions of the Church would be wholly unpopular- near revolutionary.Saint Maria Cordéaux, writing in 2013, stated that "For a period of a thousand years Quebec has been a historically Christian state with a wholly devout populous. It is God's will that the Crusader State be realised for the benefit of the Quebecois." A decree went out in 1980 ordering that "elementary schooling for all Quebec children became mandatory, so that all Quebecois should be able to read the Bible and the Holy Scriptures firsthand." The modern Constitution of Quebec stipulates that "The Church of Montreal, an Sedevancantist-Catholic church, will remain the Established Church of Quebec and will as such be supported by the State."
The Church of Montreal is responsible for the regularly upkeep of the Christian Faith in Quebec through legal and extralegal means. This often results in the religious persecution of minorities and strict-conservative lawmaking. If the amount of Christians were to decrease in Quebec, the Church of Montreal is deemed ineffective at their duties and reformed. The Church of Montreal, although encouraged to operate their own paramilitaries, often use the Catholic-dominated and religious professional army of the Sûreté du Québec to achieve their goals.
On 24 February 1981 the Church of Montreal announced it was establishing a secretariat for it's economy, to be responsible for all economic, financial and administrative activities of the church and it's faithful, headed by Cardinal Christian Fière. Cleric Saint Maria Cordéaux also appointed an auditor-general authorized to carry out random audits of any agency at any time, which was already a right held by the Sûreté du Québec but lacked in divine approval.

Legislature: National Assembly of Quebec
Notable For:
Establishing and defining the legal parameters
for governance through the Office of the Premier.
The Nation-State Act of 1980 (French; Loi de l'État-National) is the first act of the National Assembly of the then Province of Quebec which was enacted (as stated in the preamble) at the request of the ruling National Unity Party to "legalise" the New Republic of Quebec, ending the power of the Canadian Parliament to amend and govern the Province of Quebec. The act also defined the continued existence of the Office of the Premier as no-longer the governing body of the province, but the governing body of the new nation-state. It outlined the parameters, jurisdiction, and legal powers held by the office and principles for which it is to govern the State of Quebec.
The act was originally first written on October 17, 1970, by partisans of the Front de Libération du Québec and was originally titled "Demands for the Nation-State". It was published alongside demands for the release of Canadian Minister James Cross who has being held hostage by paramilitary elements of the FLQ. The Demands of the Nation-State were not cited as absolute, but were released anyways.
Since then, the act has been revisited and revised, and today the act overrules many of the previous legislature imposed on the Province of Quebec by the Parliament of Canada, including overturning bilingualism as a legal definition and making French the only official language of the nation-state. The Act defines the boundaries of the Republic, the form of governance it can apply, immigration policies, Catholicism as the state religion, Crusader-State definition, and many more elements of the governorship of Quebec.
