The Alriggian Autonomous Zone, commonly still known as Alrig, is an autonomous part of Jingdao that was previously the heartland of the independent state of Alrig. It was annexed by Jingdao during the Jingdaoese-Alriggian War. While no conditions were given for the surrender of the territory, Jingdao has left most of the political structure of Alrig intact. The AAZ's first president was Luo Dai, who was also the last president of Alrig. She did not want to resign her position after losing a war to Jingdao, which she claims is actually a victory because it brought Alrig under the glorious rule of the Chidao Emperor. As part of Jingdao, Alrig has focused on expanding its tourism industry, with Driftwood and Sint Anna becoming major resort cities within the empire. Downtown Driftwood especially is known for its nightlife, with its gambling, drinking and dancing.
