Alexandria (officially the Empire of the Alexandrians (French: L'Empire des Alexandriens, Spanish: "El Imperio de los Alejandrinos"), was a country whose metropolitan territory is located in the continent of Cibola and which also comprises various overseas islands and territories located in other continents.

Alexandria is bordered by the Kingdom of Lovely, Socialist Republic of Santander, Viking Empire of Stormark, and Lemuria. In some of its overseas areas, Alexandria also shares land borders with the Kingdom of Paulovia.

The Empire of the Alexandrians is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy which is organised as a federal Empire. Alexandria is one of the founding members of the GSO. It was formerly composed of six constituent parts - Madland-Sardinia, Franciscania, Gradlia, Kettle, Nubinar and New Puerto Rico. Following the Golden Triangle Reforms of 2005, the constituencies were re-organized into two main sectors: a Spanish and a French Sector. All former constituencies were dissolved and replaced with four - Asunción, Puerto Nuevo, Valenciennes and Baudrix. The provinces of Rio Grande and Ibelin were added to Alexandria after the Confederate States of Rio Grande and the Kingdom of Ibelin merged into the Empire.

Alexandria has one overseas territory, called the Principality of Corcovado. The Kingdom of Galatia, formerly known as the United Galatian Empire, merged into Alexandria as well, but it has not been formally organized as either a province or a territory.

History

To see history before name change, see Madland.

On November 11th, 2004, a referendum in the Empire of the Madlandians was passed, requiring the name change from Madland to Alexandria.

The Great Disaster

In Alexandrian history, the Alexandrian involvement in Micro World War I is known as "The Great Disaster". Alexandrian troops entered Micro World War I at the Emperor's orders, causing great opposition to the war in the Alexandian Estates-General. The Alexandrians entered the war on the Communist side, for they were offering support in a war against Arminy. At the time, relations between Alexandria and Arminy had soured, mostly because of Arminian claims over Alexandrian lands.

The initial incursion into Arminian territory was very successful, despite increasing opposition for the war at home. Terrorist attacks, demonstrations and riots all over Alexandria became commonplace. Soon after the massive incursion into Arminian territory, Alexandrian forces were called to retreat back into Alexandria after Antica entered the Alexandria-Arminy war. This was a humiliating retreat for Alexandrians, and when the troops arrived home, a coup d'etat was attempted, but the Emperor held the reins of power tightly in his hands.

Soon after the fires of opposition were quelled at home, the Emperor recieved massive unexpected support from the USSR and other Communist micronations and ordered the reinvasion of Arminy. The reinvasion was again sucessful, but not like the first. The second incursion fueled even more opposition to the Emperor's policies at home.

A lightning counterstrike made by the Arminians and the Anticans overwhelmed Alexandrian troops on the ground and quickly entered into Alexandrian territory. Within hours, Alexandrians were fighting in their own soil, the horrors of war brought to their land.

The Islamic Revolution

With Alexandria heading for defeat, the Alexandrian constitution was amended restore the anti-war provisions that were passed with the original version of the Constitution. Civil unrest broke out in the following weeks, later giving way to city and provincial uprisings, terrorist attacks and revolutionary attempts led by the Burning Torches Party and countless other groups.

On December 16th, 2004, the AlexLibre Terrorist Group triggered a civil war with the Imperial Government when massive terrorist attacks in major cities of Alexandria like Edgardia, Geneva, Kettle and Franciscania. After eight hours of fighting in the capital, the terrorist guerillas captured it and within hours, they recieved news that all of the major cities within the Empire had fallen to them. Soon, news leaked out that the Palace of Wesloderia was captured and that the Emperor of Alexandria, Edgard II, was forced to abdicate. He was placed in house arrest at Wesloderia along with the Imperial Family. Soon after the news leaked out, the ABCC broadcasted footage of the leaders of the massive national revolt against the Imperial Government. They proclaimed the creation of the Islamic Republic of Sennar.

The Emperor, the Imperial Family and government officials were sent into exile soon after. It was in exile that the Emperor of Alexandria founded the Republic of San Martin with Troy Thompson and David Redstone.

The Islamic Republic of Sennar

Main Article: Sennar, Islamic Republic of

The new Islamic Republic of Sennar soon faced tough opposition within the Empire. The state of Kettle soon seceded from the new Islamic Republic, triggering a continuation of the civil war. The civil war soon ended when Kettle was brought back into Sennar due to inactivity.

The Islamic Republic of Sennar soon fell to inactivity.
