the Reconfiguration

The territorial redrawing at O.N.A.N.'s founding by which the Gentle administration forced the ruined New England/lower-Québec territory onto Canada — the political fact behind the Great Concavity and Great Convexity, Experialism, and the A.F.R.'s rage (see those entries). Rodney Tine is its "acknowledged architect of O.N.A.N. and continental Reconfiguration" (p. 92); most provinces "took the continental Anschluss and territorial Reconfiguration like good sports" while Québec's insurgent cells "completely lost their political shit" (p. 311). Mario Incandenza's Interdependence-Day film retells the whole "cartographic Reconfiguration" as puppet parody (p. 391).
