Canada was the first country to be created by legislation.
The British North America Act united Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada into a federation, called Canada. The pre-Confederation Province of Canada was then severed into the provinces of Ontario and Québec.
The British North America Act was proclaimed on March 29, 1867, and the date of July 1, 1867, was set for the Act to take effect.
