List of Cartadanian state symbols

Alexandria, officially the State of Alexandria (Cartadanian: Estado de Alexandria), is a state located on the north-central coast of the Cartadania. With 28.6 million residents across a total area of about 163,895.3 square kilometres (63,280.3 sq mi), Alexandria is the third-most populous and eleventh-most extensive state in Cartadania. The state capital is the city of Calaine in central Alexandria, while New Venceia is the most populous city in the state, located along the northeastern coast. Greater New Venceia is the most populous urban region in the state, with 7.4 million residents spread amongst eleven counties.

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 nations 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. It's economy is the third-most diverse in the country (second only to Verona and Santarém) and it is the financial center of Cartadania.
