Alexandria is a territory of Meridon, bound primarily to Alexandria Island and its outlying minor islans. It is bordered to the west by the Southern Islands territory, to the south by Ohawe Territoryand Mahine Territory, and to the east by Helena Territory and Smith Island Territory. The capital and largest city of the territory, not counting the Cordelia Federal District, is Port Sistine, with other notable cities being Alanstown, Cossetton, Amber Coast, Carterstown, and Vincents. Alexandria Territory is home to roughly TBD million people, and is the largest and most populous island in Meridon.
Alexandria has been inhabited the longest of any island in the Meridonian archipelago, with evidence of habitation being carbon-dated to as far as 6,000 years ago with evidence of preserved sailing materials and domiciles by ancient Tangaran cultures. Tangaran tribal cultures operated in a variety of communities and groups until the 1500s. From 1554 and the arrival of European settler groups, native presence was gradually reduced until it was almost totally eradicated in the 1582-1558 First Colonial War when settler groups massacred or drove off the vast majority of native populations from the island. Alexandria was the driving force during the industrialization of the archipelago, and has remained its most populous throughout its incorporation into the Federal Republic. Alexandria urbanized heavily from the late 19th to the mid 20th century and is one of the most urbanized islands in Meridon, with roughly 65% of the population living in urban centers.
Alexandria is host to expansive agricultural and industrial ventures. It has been rated as the most business-friendly territory in Meridon, and is headquarters to some of its most prominent companies, including the Tarass-Ortum Motor Company, Blackriver Industrial, Eureka, and Silkroad. Alexandria is famous for its coffee and coacoa production- the Copperpoint Blend harvested from beans cultivated on Copperpoint Mountain are served in coffeehouses globally. Alexandria's economy is highly diversified, and has the largest economic output of any Meridonian territory.
