The Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie, also known as Nouvelle Alexandrie or New Alexandria, is a confederation of two formerly sovereign nations, Alduria and the Wechua Nation, and 8 other Regions. Its territory covers land and islands in northwestern Eura, near central and southeastern Keltia, the islands of Lyrica, Islas de la Libertad, the Isles of Caputia, and parts of the Skerry Islands. Nouvelle Alexandrie shares a border with many nations. In Eura, it shares borders with Constancia, the Thraci Confederation, and the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union. In Keltia, it shares borders with the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union and with The Hexarchy. On the island of Lyrica, it shares a border with Hurmu. On the Isles of Caputia, it shares a border with Phinbella and the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union.
Nouvelle Alexandrie is a multinational state with a federal and secular democratic parliamentary monarchy, with King Manco Cápac I as head of state since 1685 AN. The head of government of Nouvelle Alexandrie is known as the President of the Government, currently Gerhardt Eugen Seydlitz of the Federal Humanist Party since 1698 AN. The capital of the Federation is the city of Cárdenas, which makes up the Federal Capital District and is a city that was originally part of Alexandria but was refounded and redesigned as a planned capital city that is still under construction. Other major urban areas include the cities of Punta Santiago, Parap, Rimarima, Piriya, Behaurnais, Fort Laons, Judah, and San Luis. The federation has a population of 226,937,835 inhabitants, according to the 1698 census.
Nouvelle Alexandria has evolved and grown quickly from a series of annexations and unions of its constituent Regions. The Proclamation of Punta Santiago formed the Federation, initially a union between the Republic of Alduria and the Wechua Nation. Since its formation in 1685 AN, the Federation has grown to include 10 Regions: Alduria, the Wechua Nation, Santander, the Federal Capital District, Valencia, the Isles of Caputia, the Islas de la Libertad, New Luthoria, North Lyrica and South Lyrica. Each Region holds jurisdiction over a defined geographic territory, where it shares sovereignty with the federal government. In addition to the ten regions, there is one overseas territory, the Overseas Territory of Jaris, an unincorporated territory that was directly governed from Cárdenas through the military, until the federal government provided for its organization via statute.
Nouvelle Alexandrie has one of the largest economies in Micras by nominal gross domestic product (GDP) and by purchasing power parity (PPP). Its economy is considered high-income and ranks high in human development indexes. It is noted for its large exports of weapons, textiles, foodstuffs, automobiles, and consumer goods. Nouvelle Alexandrie also has a large tourist industry, with its island-hopping cruises in Islas de la Libertad and South Lyrica and the allure of the Southern Aldurian Riviera driving consistent growth and profit in tourism. Nouvelle Alexandrie's territory is positioned along some of the most important shipping and transport lanes of the world. It also counts with one of the largest deposits of hydrocarbon resources, located on both the Euran and Keltian continent. Its prominent location along international trade routes is reflected in the diversity of the country and its largest cultural regions: Aldurian (Alexandrian and Caputian), Wechua, Babkhi, Ladino, and Leonés.
Nouvelle Alexandrie is a member of the Micras Treaty Organization (MTO) and the Euran Economic Union. Nouvelle Alexandrie is also a member state of one of the largest alliance systems in Micras, the Raspur Pact.

Nouvelle Alexandrie has a flourishing automotive industry, having two major car companies, Galicia and Salera, which are based in Punta Santiago and Parap, respectively. The latter is known for producing low- and middle-segment cars for lower income families. Car ownership in the nation is strong, owing to its extensive road network and parking management strategies.
Defense industry
Nouvelle Alexandrie has three major defense contractors: Ahvaz Automotive Engineering Company, ESB Armada, Pontecorvo Firm and Javelin Industries, which are all based in Alduria. They are known for high-tech, advanced military assets, ranging from small arms to airplanes. There is also a nationalised defense corporation: National Qullqa System.

Silicon mining is based out of Alduria, while Clay, Shale and Potash is centered around Lake Cherusken in Santander. A small but profitable operation in pearl hunting exists on Islas de la Libertad.
Energy
Hydrocarbon industry
There are large oil reserves on land and in the oceans surrounding Nouvelle Alexandrie. On land, there are 5 oil fields currently being exploited: 2 in South Lyrica, 2 in Alduria, and 1 in Wechua. The bulk of oil production is however in offshore oil, with 10 oil fields being currently exploited, 2 of which are at New Luthoria. Around those same fields, there are natural gas fields, a total of 20 are being exploited, as well as the land gas field at Chambéry, Valencia.
Natural Gas forms the single largest source of electrical power generation in Nouvelle Alexandrie: almost 47% of all energy is produced with it. Oil is a second at 24%. Coal used to be a major energy source, but is now one of the smallest in the entire energy sector, with only 2 coal power plants remaining in Wechua.
Nuclear energy industry
The Nuclear industry is a nationalised industry, with both uranium mining being performed by the National Uranium Mining Corporation, and Nuclear power plants being under direct control of the Department of Energy and Environment. Most uranium is imported from Raspur Pact allies, but there exists one uranium mining operation in South Lyrica.
Transport
Nouvelle Alexandrie possesses some of the most advanced transport links in the world, being integrated to the Pan-Keltian Highway and Pan-Euran Highway, as well as an extensive Rail Network. It also possesses three international airports in Punta Santiago, Cárdenas, and Parap. In these three cities, there also exist Metro and Streetcar/Tramway networks.

Education
The public education system in Nouvelle Alexandrie is primarily the responsibility of the individual Regions, with the federal government playing a role in establishing a common educational standard and providing funding for the regions to run their educational systems. Regions provide the bulk of the funding (60%), with federal funding accounting for the rest (40%).
Optional nursery school education is provided to all children between one and five years old. After five years old, school attendance is compulsory, ending somewhere between ages 16 and 18, depending on the region. This requirement can be met in public schools, accredited private schools, or an approved home school program. In most New Alexandrian schools, compulsory education is divided into three levels: elementary school, middle school, and high school. Children are usually divided by age groups into grades, ranging from kindergarten (5- to 6-year-olds) and first grade (6- to 7-year-olds) for the youngest children, up to twelfth grade (17- to 18-year-olds) as the final year of high school.
The educational system has been set up to be less competitive than other Micran counterparts, which has led to higher rates of student happiness, less incidences of lack of discipline, and better academic performance overall for most students.
Private schools are generally free to determine their own curriculum and staffing policies. Private schools are required to be accredited through independent regional accreditation authorities. In many cases, additional regional regulations applies, depending on the circumstances of the region.
According to the federal Department of Education, nearly 90% of all school-age children in Nouvelle Alexandrie attend public schools, with about 8% attending private schools and 2% being home-schooled.
