Just some initial thoughts... Not high on most people's lists but some of us Canucks wouldn't mind including it in.
Cities (Metropolitan Area Population as of 1996 Census)
Ottawa-Hull 1,010,498
Toronto 4,263,757
Montreal 3,326,510
Vancouver 1,831,665
Edmonton 862,597
Calgary 821,628
Quebec City 671,889
Winnipeg 667,209
Hamilton 624,360
Halifax 332,518
Victoria 304,287
Saskatoon 219,056
Regina 193,652
St. John’s 174,051
Fredericton 78,950
Charlottetown 57,224
Whitehorse 21,808
Yellowknife 17,275
Iqualuit 5,000*
Inuvik 3,296
*Not included in 1996 census. Approximation as stated on Iqualuit’s website.
Alternatively, we could arrange the cities by chronology which would change the order substantially. I'm not sure what the "ideal" number of cities are.
Head of Government: Pierre Elliot Trudeau
Regardless of your political stripe, I would argue that Trudeau is the most famous political leader Canada has ever produced.
Military Leaders:
General Sir Julian Byng (Vimy Ridge)
General Arthur Currie (Passchendaele)
Lieutenant E.L.M. Burns (Passchendaele)
General Harry Crear (Normandy)
I am not a military historian, and this only covers the army. Someone with more knowledge could help in this area. Here's a good website:
As to a civ-specific unit, I was thinking maybe a "Fur Trader" or "Voyageur". This would occur at the very beginning of the game and act as a Settler, except for the fact that it could cover more ground per turn (2+?). This would simulate the expansive nature of Canada but I wouldn't want it to be a military unit.
Just brainstorming...
