After gaining independence in 1671, Alexandria became a major agricultural producer of coffee and sugarcane in the newly constituted Cartadanian Republic. This led to the creation of a rich regional rural oligarchy that would switch command with elites during the early republican period in the 1620s. However, the rural nature of Alexandria did not last very long, particularly in areas along the Urlazio coast, where most of the state's population is located. In a period known as Solis, or Pax Alexandrini, Calaine pushed for intense industrialization and urbanization between 1618 and 1646, resulting in Alexandria's population skyrocketing and New Venceia crossing the half-million mark.

In 1618, Alexandria became the first state to ratify the current constitution of Cartadania, earning it the nickname "The Premier State". Reformed after 30 years of disarray and the Ano Roxo, Alexandria long stood as the capital of what would become Cartadania, with its city of Meridia. Thanks to its relatively flat geography and similarly Mediterranean climate along the coastline, especially near New Venceia and along the Urlazio Coast, Alexandria developed as a second financial and governmental hub for Venceia. As a result, Alexandria saw the most explosive growth in population and economy during the colonial and provincial periods.
