Addressed to His Imperial Majesty, King-Emperor Charles the III Of The New Empire.
As dictated by Governor General Sir Percival Winthrop
The Current State of the Crown Colony of North America
As of the year 2026
Article One: Current populations; both Imperial & native, as they exist on the Continent.
The Imperial population, as counted in the Census of 2025, currently stands at over five million eight hundred and twenty thousand. This counts both the Imperial subjects under His Majesties auspices, as well as the several native tribes that have been absorbed into His realms. The Imperial population on the continent proper, counting both the settled populations and the traders and garrisons in the unsettled areas, stands at four million and two hundred thousand. The Imperial population on both the islands of the Caribbean Sea, as well as the naval base situated on The Island Of Guadalupe number One million, five hundred and twenty thousand.
The Native populations, excluding those of the States of California, as well as the Mormon State of Deseret, number at near two and one-half million. Of that number, two hundred thousand are of the Seven Civilized Tribes of Texas, and with a further eight hundred thousand existing in the towns and villages of Mexico and Central America. Of the wild tribes of the interior; chief amongst them being the Cherokee, the Kaijun, and the Kumanch, number some one hundred thousand each. The rest of the native population is spread in smaller tribes existing in the interior and mountain chains, as well as several allied tribes that exist on the fringes of His Majesties territory.
Article Two: Current displacement of Imperial populations.
-Of the Imperial populations on the continent proper, approximately two and one-half million exist in the former area of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and New England, with the frontiers stretching down to the Chesapeake Bay on the Atlantic Coast.
-The coastal area of the entirety of Lake Erie is almost completely enveloped, with the furthest edges of Imperial Civilization stretching south from there into the Ohio River Valley, and north to the shores of Lake Huron.
-In the south of the former United States Of America, the enclaves of Tampa and Miami, whose populations combined are one hundred and fourty-five thousand, are nearing ever closer to being joined, with the interior of the Floridian peninsula populated by a few scant neo-savage tribes.
-The Gulf colonies; both those on the Yucatan peninsula and the enclave surrounding New Orleans, have both reached a population of two hundred thousand, with little differentiation in numbers.
-The population of Oregon, which includes the former U.S. State of Washington, has reached a population of six hundred thousand, not including the large population of adventurers and freebooters of which there are roughly forty thousand.
-The population of the enclave surrounding Charleston has reached a population of three hundred thousand, with a further sixty thousand Imperial citizens located in trading posts and garrisons throughout the unsettled East Coast and the interior.
Article Three: Current state of infrastructure in Imperial use.
-The Saint Laurence Seaway, connecting the River of Saint Laurence to Lake Ontario, has at long last been dredged clear. The new steam shovels that made this feat possible are now being re-located to aid in dredging and repairing the dysfunctional Erie Canal. Other Canals, principally those connecting the great lakes, are in various states of repair, with traffic between the Lakes of Ontario, Erie, and Huron now possible and open to ocean traffic. Because of this, it is to be predicted that the new colonization efforts in the former State of Michigan to flourish, with further efforts possible farther west as new channels become clear.
-The railways, the largest of which connects the city of New York with Montreal, is in good repair; as are the smaller rails running between New York and Boston, Montreal and Rochester, New York and Philadelphia, and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, our latest survey team has deemed that the railways of the Ohio Valley are virtually unrepairable, most of the track having been either destroyed or carried away by local neo-savage tribes. As per the orders of His Majesty, we have ceased the laying of new rail in this area until the Imperial population becomes more substantial. However, I must again note that we still have an insufficiency of engines to operate the rails at their full capacity; and additional five are needed to supplement our current four properly.
-The roadways of the New England colonies have nearly all been brought up to serviceability, and the roadways are being repaired as quickly as possible in all frontier areas. The construction of the new highway through Western Pennsylvania is nearing its goal of connecting the Ohio colonies with those of New York. the roadways in Oregon, as well as the New Orleans and Charleston enclaves are all undergoing a period of re-construction, after it was found that the repairs conducted in 1995 failed to ensure the promised fifty years of serviceability. Roadways in all other areas are currently serviceable, with new roads being constructed as needed in the Yucatan Colonies.
-The principal ports; Montreal, Rochester, New York, Boston, Charleston, Miami, Tampa, New Orleans, Port Royal, Havana, and San Yuan, are all currently serviceable. Last years hurricane was relatively small, as compared to the hurricanes that wreaked havoc on our southern ports over a decade ago. With the opening of Lake Erie, efforts to repair Cleveland for use as a major commercial port have begun in earnest, with full serviceability to all predicted commercial traffic to be attained within two years.
Section Four: Current state of arms in the Colony.
The Garrisons of His Majesties Imperial Army, with the recent additions allocated by His Majesty, brings the full number of men under permanent arms in the colony to approximately Thirty-seven thousand. Troop deployments are as follows;
-Twelve thousand men in the cities and forts of the New England colonies.
-Seven thousand men in the islands of the Caribbean, with a further eight hundred in the Florida enclaves.
-Five Thousand men in the outposts and towns of the New Orleans enclave.
-Four thousand men in the Charleston enclave.
-Six thousand men in the Oregon colonies.
-Five hundred men garrisoned in the various fortresses and trading posts of the continental interior.
-Two thousand men in the Yucatan colonies.
The Royal colonial militia, under the direct command of overall Army Commander General Sir Archibald Gordon, currently consists of one-fourth of the eligible male population. It may be of note to include here the fact that the gun restriction laws implemented in the peaceful and long-civilized areas of the colonies have met with little success, accept for in the major cities. As nearly one quarter of the militia has been caught in violation of these laws, a colonial decree has been ordered that all militia members are to be allowed to posses their own weapons; A copy of this decree was sent to His Majesties desk three months ago, and since no endorsement or condemnation has been forthcoming the colonial council has voted to keep it as a provisional law until such a time as the King Emperor comes to a conclusion upon it.
As the records of the exact displacement of Royal-Imperial naval vessels is unavailable to the colonial office, and as reporting as to the current locations of Royal-Imperial vessels has been declared top secret by the Imperial Political Service, such information will be omitted from this report.
