'''Alameda''', formally the '''Democratic Republic of Alameda''' ({{wpl|Spanish Language|Alamedan}}: ''República Democrática del Alameda'') is a sovereign nation located in Norumbia. It borders the countries of [[Rökkurlynd]] and [[Awasin]] to the north, [[Mniohuta]] to the west and [[Gristol-Serkonos]] to the south. Its eastern coastline leads to the North Thalassan Sea. The capital of Alameda is [[Cuidad Augusto]] and the largest city is [[Hortensia]]. Alameda has been historically defined into two [[Grand Divisions of Alameda|Grand Divisions]], [[West Alameda]] and [[East Alameda]]. These two areas are politically, culturally, economically and linguistically distinct. The population of Alameda is approximately 19.7 million people, with around 72% of which live in East Alameda. Alameda is a multi-cultural country, and has four constitutionally recognized constituent groups: [[Alamedines]], [[Chuscos]], Muskogee and Anigiduwagi.

Alameda has been inhabited since the last ice age, with evidence of habitation dating back to 10,000 B.C.E. Alameda is considered to be the homeland of two indigenous Norumbrian groups: the Serkonian Anigiduwagi and the Muscogeans. Both of these groups have settled across Alameda, and have since utilized a formal tribal system. This tribal system defined the two large and influential [[Great Tribes of Alameda|Great Tribes]] and the various [[Lesser Tribes of Alameda|Lesser Tribes]] scattered throughout the country. Since the 12th century, the two Great Tribes were the Muscogean Tallapoosa tribe and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi tribe. The political tension has existed and the two have been historical enemies. The last war between the two ended in 1824, after the [[Third Tallapoosa-Qanasi War]], though tensions between the two remains at large, since the [[1975 West Alamedan Riots|1975 West Alamedan Riots]].


Alameda has been inhabited since the last ice age, with evidence of inhabitation dating back to 10,000 B.C.E. Chenes is considered to be the homeland of two indigeneous Norumbrian groups: the Serkonian Anigiduwagi and the Muscogeans. Both of these groups have settled throughout Alameda, utilizing a tribal system which established two large, influental [[Great Tribes of Alameda|Great Tribes]] and various [[Lesser Tribes of Alameda|Lesser Tribes]]. Since the 15th century, the two Great Tribes of Alameda were the Muscogee Tallapoosa and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi. While hostilities between these two tribes have ended since 1824, civil issues between the Muscogee and Anigiduwagi persist to this day.  
Alameda was one of the few Garzan colonies in Norumbia, founded as the [[Province of New Augusta]] and later reformed as the [[Province of the New Frontier]]. Chartered and established by the [[Western Garzan-Latium Company]], the province was centered at the city of Costa de Augusta. New settlers primarily spoke {{Wpl|Spanish Language|Garzan}}, which eventually became the {{Wpl|lingua franca}}. The new colonial province and its settlers were initially welcomed by the Muscogean tribe of Coosa and would later forge a mutually beneficial alliance with the Tallapoosa.


In 1625, the [[Province of the New Frontier]] was chartered and established by the [[Garzan-Latium Norumbrian Company]] with the founding of [[Ciudad Augusto]], originally founded as [[Costa de Augusto]]. New settlers to the colony primarily spoke {{wpl|Spanish Language|Garzan}}, with [[Standard Latin language|Latin]] being used for nomenclature until independence. The new colonial province and its settlers were initially welcomed by the Muscogean tribe of Coosa, which was aligned with the Tallapoosa.
Alameda entered a long period of warfare, known locally as the [[La Liberacion]]. This began when [[Asherionic Occupation of Alameda|Alameda was occupied]] in 1805, and continued for 25 years during the [[Alamedan Wars of Independence]].

==Etymology==
"Alameda" as a name can be traced to the poem, ''[[Niños de Roble]]'' by [[Rosalía Castellanos]] that was published in 1672 in the colony. The name itself derives Castellanos admiration at the Muscogee's complex system of trails and roads that extended throughout East Alameda. During the time, the colonial province was looking for a new name to replace the name New Frontier. Settlers at the time felt that the name New Frontier related closer to the colonial company's identity over the settler's new identity intermingled with the Muscogee.

Modern Alamedan culture consists of Alamedine and Muscogee culture, with Anigiduwagi culture being more prevalent in West Alameda than East Alameda.

In the aftermath of the Asherionic occupation of Alameda, Alamedine and Muscogee cultures have taken the forefront of Alameda's mixtures with many Anigiduwagi influences often being ignored. Alameda's [[Department of Culture (Alameda)|Department of Culture]] is responsible for the promotion of Alamedan architecture, art, cuisine, cinema, dance, literature, history, and music.
Historically, Alameda has stuck out as an odd country within Norumbria for its culture. It is the only country within the entire continent to speak Garzan and one of the few to have promoted the idea of cultural intermingling between Belisarian settlers and the Muscogee natives. After the East Alamedan Annexation of Anigiduwagi lands, the [[Alamedine-Muscogee Renaissance]] occured between 1840 to 1929, which saw the promotion of Alamedine and Muscogee culture in the country.

Alameda, formally the Democratic Republic of Alameda (Alamedan: República Democrática del Alameda) is a sovereign nation located in Norumbia. It borders the countries of Rökkurlynd and Awasin to the north, Mniohuta to the west and Gristol-Serkonos to the south. Its eastern coastline leads to the North Thalassan Sea. The capital of Alameda is Cuidad Augusto and the largest city is Hortensia. Alameda has been historically defined into two Grand Divisions, West Alameda and East Alameda. These two areas are politically, culturally, economically and linguistically distinct. The population of Alameda is approximately 19.7 million people, with around 72% of which live in East Alameda. Alameda is a multi-cultural country, and has four constitutionally recognized constituent groups: Alamedines, Chuscos, Muskogee and Anigiduwagi.

Alameda has been inhabited since the last ice age, with evidence of habitation dating back to 10,000 B.C.E. Alameda is considered to be the homeland of two indigenous Norumbrian groups: the Serkonian Anigiduwagi and the Muscogeans. Both of these groups have settled across Alameda, and have since utilized a formal tribal system. This tribal system defined the two large and influential Great Tribes and the various Lesser Tribes scattered throughout the country. Since the 12th century, the two Great Tribes were the Muscogean Tallapoosa tribe and the Anigiduwagi Qanasi tribe. The political tension has existed and the two have been historical enemies. The last war between the two ended in 1824, after the Third Tallapoosa-Qanasi War, though tensions between the two remains at large, since the 1975 West Alamedan Riots.

Alameda was one of the few Garzan colonies in Norumbia, founded as the Province of New Augusta and later reformed as the Province of the New Frontier. Chartered and established by the Western Garzan-Latium Company, the province was centered at the city of Costa de Augusta. New settlers primarily spoke Garzan, which eventually became the lingua franca. The new colonial province and its settlers were initially welcomed by the Muscogean tribe of Coosa and would later forge a mutually beneficial alliance with the Tallapoosa.

Alameda entered a long period of warfare, known locally as the La Liberacion. This began when Alameda was occupied in 1805, and continued for 25 years during the Alamedan Wars of Independence.

During the time, the colonial province was looking for a new name to replace the name New Frontier.
