sorry, after searching a bit for a wiki to explain, it's named "Acadia".

Acadia is part of Canada ; however, it seems my information on that field was incomplete. the region still has the same name, but the "abstract" relation is that of the French part that used to be there.

The story of Acadians is that of people who lost their country ; I wouldn't be able to tell it as is, I think it's better if you check that article for yourself on the subject : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadia
