Algaria (Cuthish: Algarsland; Hesurian: Algarien), officially the Commonwealth of Algaria (Cuthish: Meanwealþ of Algarsland; Hesurian: Gemeinstaat Algarien), is a sovereign island state located in the Greater Alvines of the Alvinian archipelago. It is comprised of two constituent nations, Constantia and Eblania, and shares a maritime border to the south with Chelagey. It counts with three capital cities with the executive, legislative and judicial powers being located in Marienburg, Windhoek and Olvara respectively; the largest settlement on the island is Port Alfred, which is part of the larger ChrisVara Corridor urban agglomeration.

Originally inhabited by Algonquian speaking tribes, the islands that comprise Algaria were the arrival place of the Berean explorer Wesley Middelton during his first voyage across the Agric Ocean in the 16th century. Several trans-oceanic contacts followed until in 1615, a group of Nordic Semitar separatists and other Semitar religious minorities mostly from Cuthland founded the first permanent settlement around what was going to be Christiana. During the initial years of the colony, territorial conflicts were frequent between the new settlers and indigenious peoples, although the use of advanced weapons by Bereans soon proved cathastrophic for the natives in their reclaim for land. The majority of these faced the exile or became the first slaves of the new colony. With the pass of the time, the colony grew and drew interest from Berean powers, most notably the Købmandslaug and Kingdom of Aldia, which rapidly funded explorers' missions on the north of Christiana, finally founding the settlement of Marienburg in what was later going to be the Dominion of Eblania. During most of the colonial period, the harbours of Christiana and Port Alfred and Windhoek became important centres for the spices and slave trade of Native Alvinians.

The settler colonialism policy pushed by Aldia and Cuthland on both sides of the island rapidly increased the tensions between the two powers as the colonies consolidated. At the start of the 18th century, the Treaty of Gauteng was celebrated to demarcate a border between the two colonies; however, the fear of a Cuthish-led Constantian expansion led to the formation of militias in Eblania and the foundation of government based of the Northern Territory with the Treaty of Marienburg, signed by Aldian colonial leaders and native tribes. The 18th century saw a declined influence of the First Cuthish Empire, which saw itself inmersed in a war of succession with its Berean neighbours; as a result of the war, taking place in Alvinia as King George's War, the Constantian colony was ceded to the Mascyllary Kingdom of Aldia in 1740. A period of relative stability and increased migration from Berea was seen on both sides of the island, which saw the accentuation of Mascyllary cultural presence in Eblania and Constantia. During the 19th century, royal Mascyllary tax impositions forced the apparition of united secessionist movements, whose leaders, seduced by liberal and republican emerging ideals from post-revolutionary Cuthland, marked the start of several conflicts that resulted in Algaria becoming the first sovereign state of Alvinia in 1818.

In the years that followed, Algaria became a centre for liberal thought; slavery was abolished entirely in 1820 and several progressive laws were enacted. At the start of the 20th century, the country rapdily developed a significant industrial capacity, which met a growing quality of life, being the base for an export-based economy and the development of social democratic values under the leadership of name name. Periods of war and extended imporverishment in Berea increased immigration to the growing urban and industrial belts of Constantia and Eblania. The country rapidly grew as a cultural melting pot, with migrations shaping Algarian society in all of its levels.
