Hi there!
Find attached (and available in the mod browser) my first attempt at a civilization, Canada. This currently comprises a unique leader (Sir John A. MacDonald), a new trait (Trade Surplus, +2 gold for every strategic resource) and two unique units.
Canada's unique units are the Avro Arrow, a replacement for the Fighter, and the Peacekeeper, a replacement for the Paratrooper (thanks to Snake_Eyes for the suggestions).
Screenshots:
Known issues and notes-to-self:
Change Log:
Of course, a huge thanks goes out to Kael for his amazing Modders' Guide to Civ V, without which I couldn't have done this.
Finally, your help in playtesting is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to post bugs/complaints/compliments here in the thread.
Thanks in advance for your time and comments!

Known issues and notes-to-self:
Spoiler :
* Icon borders look weird, with the transparencies in the DDS not functioning properly.
* Terrible transition from Sir John A's picture to the Map of the Dominion of Canada in the Dawn of Man image.
* I originally wanted Trade Surplus to provide +1 gold for ALL resources, but so far haven't figured out how this goes, so instead it's +2 for Strategic Resources. If I can figure that out later, I'll change it.
* Unit icons don't appear properly in the build menu.
* Avro Arrow is meant to replace Fighter and also prevent deployment of Jet Fighters (it is slightly weaker than the latter, but is slightly less expensive and available earlier), however, I am currently unable to disable Jet Fighters (help!)
* Elizabeth is still the default leader animation (because I'm useless in that domain!). Convenient, though, right?
* German translation of text to be inserted in next version.
