New Minneapolis, Canada is a city in Canada. It was previously known as Minneapolis.

A successful plebiscite resulted in the peaceful secession of Minneapolis from the United States, simultaneous with the founding of the Canadian province of New Minneapolis.

New Minneapolis is Canada's only exclave province, and the only Canadian province which consists entirely of a single city.

The Nested Radical

The Nested Radical is a popular coffeehouse.

The graphic novel Whatever Happened to the Nested Radical? is set entirely in The Nested Radical.

It includes references to, and illustrations of, various places, people, and events in and around New Minneapolis.

Egg Tooth neighborhood

The famous Egg Tooth neighborhood is popular with thrill seekers and the characters they attract.

The neighborhood is named after the monster Egg Tooth, who once visited during a Wild Rumpus.

In an interview with Forbes magazine, long-time resident Karl Jones said:

During his visit, Egg Tooth was struck by rumbustious lightning -- the event which allowed him to permanently escape from Where The Wild Things Are.

Things were a bit awkward, after the old Minneapolis voted to become a province of Canada.

Sorting out the new tax base situation between a nonfiction city, a nonfiction foreign nation, and a fictional city joining the nonfictional foreign nation was particularly challenging.

But most people adjusted easily enough, and pretty soon business got back to normal.
