'''Alexandria''', officially the '''State of Alexandria''' ({{lang-cd|Estado de Alexandria}}), is a [[States of Cartadania|state]] situated on the north-central coast of the Luson region, one of the most densely populated regions in Cartadania. With a population of over 30.3 million residents, Alexandria is the [[Administrative divisions of Cartadania|third-most populous state]] in the country, behind only [[Verona]] and [[Santiago]]. It is spread across an area of approximately {{convert|163895.3|km2|sqmi}}, making it the eleventh-largest state in the country. [[Calaine]] serves as the {{wp|state capital}}, located in central Alexandria. This bustling city is the center of commerce and cultural activity, attracting a diverse mix of people from different backgrounds. [[New Venceia]], on the other hand, is the largest city by land area and the third largest city by population in the state, situated on the northeastern coast near the [[Sanoria Channel]]. It is home to a vibrant nightlife, entertainment, and dining scene, drawing in visitors from across the state and beyond. The state of Alexandria is divided into 117 counties, each with its own unique character and charm. The most populous urban region in the state is [[Greater New Venceia]], which is home to approximately 7.4 million residents. This region is known for its bustling urban landscape, modern infrastructure, and economic opportunities.


In 1710, Alexandria became the first state to ratify the current constitution of Cartadania, and thus earned the distinction of being the first state (and is where it's nickname ''"The Premier State"'' originates). Reformed after 30 years of disarray, Alexandria long stood as the capital of what would become Cartadania even before the nation's formation. It was the playground of many Caphirians, thanks to its relatively flat geography and similarly Mediterranean climate despite its position in the tropics. As a result, Alexandria developed much as a second hub for Venceia (hence, New Venceia) and for many decades, had the most explosive growth in population and economy of any Cartadanian state. Its economy is the third-most diverse in the country (second only to [[Verona]] and [[Santarém]]), and it is the financial center of Cartadania.
Alexandria holds a significant place in Cartadania's history as the first state to ratify the current constitution in 1618, earning its nickname "The Premier State." The state's pivotal role in the formation of the country and its long-standing status as a cultural and economic center have contributed to its reputation as one of the most important states in the nation. After a period of disarray lasting approximately 30 years, Alexandria underwent a significant period of reform, which saw it emerge as the capital of the future Cartadania, even before the country's formal establishment. This period of growth and stability led to the state becoming a favorite destination for many Caphirians, thanks to its {{wp|Mediterranean climate}}, flat geography, and welcoming culture. Alexandria's popularity as a hub for Venceia, which led to the creation of New Venceia, contributed to its exponential growth in population and economy.


The area that today corresponds to the state territory was already inhabited by indigenous peoples from approximately 12,000 BC. In the early 15th century, the coast of the region was visited by other sea-faring explorers and navigators resident to the Odoneru. After the establishment of the Banlieuregio of Alexandria during the [[Caphiria#The Pontificate|Pontificate]], the region began to gain political weight. After independence in 1671, Alexandria began to become a major agricultural producer (mainly coffee and sugarcane) in the newly constituted Cartadanian Republic, which ultimately created a rich regional rural oligarchy, which would switch on the command of the Cartadanian government with elites during the early republican period in the 1680s.
As a result of its rapid expansion and dynamic economy, Alexandria has become one of the most diverse and influential states in the country, with a financial sector that rivals that of any other state. Its economy, which is third-most diverse in Cartadania (after Verona and [[Santarém]]), boasts a thriving tourism industry, a strong agricultural sector, and a vibrant service-based economy. Today, Alexandria is a bustling state that continues to drive the growth and development of the country as a whole.
 
The state of Alexandria has a rich and varied history that dates back to prehistoric times. The region was inhabited by indigenous peoples from as early as 12,000 BC, and their influence can still be seen in the state's culture and traditions today. In the early 15th century, the coast of the region was visited by other sea-faring explorers and navigators resident to the [[Odoneru Ocean|Odoneru]], bringing with them new ideas, customs, and technologies. These interactions laid the groundwork for the region's future development and set the stage for its important role in the history of Cartadania. The establishment of the Banlieuregio of Alexandria during the [[History of Caphiria#Pontificate|Pontificate]] marked a turning point in the region's political and economic development. As the area gained more political weight, it also began to grow in wealth and influence, thanks in large part to its rich agricultural resources. By the time of the Cartadanian Republic's independence in 1618, Alexandria had become a major producer of {{wp|coffee}} and {{wp|sugarcane}}, which created a wealthy rural {{wp|oligarchy}} that held significant power and influence in the region. During the early republican period in the 1630s, the balance of power shifted as the Cartadanian government sought to exert more control over the region. This led to a power struggle between the traditional rural elites and the emerging urban middle class, ultimately resulting in a shift in the command of the government to the new elites.
 
Today, Alexandria remains a vital part of Cartadania, with a rich history and culture that continues to influence the region and the country as a whole.
