Algonquia, officially known as the Federal Republic of Algonquia, is a federal republic consisting of 14 dominons. It is located in the North Atlantic region of North America and is bordered by Quebec to the north, Delaware to the southeast, Virginia to the south, and the Great Lakes Federation to the west. Algonquia is located on the Atlantic Ocean, with ten of its dominions directly bordering the ocean. Three of the remaining four dominions are connected to the Atlantic by a series of rivers and the Great Lakes. It has an estimated population of nearly seventh three million people, making it one of the most populated countries in North America. Algonquia has high levels of economic development, is densely populated, and is very culturally diverse. Eighty five percent of its population resides in urban areas.

European colonization began in the sixteenth century. Algonquia was initially part of the British Thirteen Colonies, accounting for the entirety of the Mid-Atlantic Colonies and New England. Several disputes between Britain and the colonies led to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolutionary War. After winning their independence, the colonies formed the United States on the basis of the Articles of Confederation. In the late 1780s, it had become apparent the Articles Confederation had failed. Delegates from each of the states met but the Second Continental Congress failed after the northern states and the southern states could not come to an agreement over the issue of slavery. The northern states signed the Declaration of Secession in 1790 and a transitional government for the United Provinces of Columbia was established.

Following a dispute with Britain over trade, the states agreed to establish the Kingdom of Columbia with the House of Stuart as its royal house. From 1791 onward, the country expanded westward and annexed several new territories and provinces. It became heavily industrialized during the Industrial Revolutions and had a strong economy. A growing progressive movement at the start of the twentieth century led to political gridlock between the progressives and the royalists. The economy eventually fell into recession at the onset of 1905. In 1907, the Republican Revolution began. The Kingdom of Columbia eventually collapsed in 1909, when it was reformed into the Federal Republic of Algonquia. It fought during the Second Great War and sought to help Cascadia repel the Japanese-led invasion. During much of the !Cold War, Algonquia opted to remain neutral. This changed in the 1970s with the establishment of the Republic of Russia. Since then, the country has played an active role in global affairs.

The capital of Algonquia is Boston, where the federal government is located. The federal government has three branches: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial. A series of checks and balances are in place, but the executive branch through the presidency is considered the most powerful and highest office in the land. The current president is John Kasich of the Conservative Union, who has held the post since the 2014. Legislative power is vested in the bicameral Federal Parliament, which consists of the Federal Senate and the Federal Assembly. The other major parties are the Liberal Democratic Party and the Social Action Party.

Much of the country encompasses the northern Appalachian Mountains. Major rivers include the Delaware River and the Hudson River which act as high traffic commercial arteries for maritime trade. Lake Ontario is encased by Algonquia and the country also borders a significant portion of Lake Erie. Overall, it has a temperate climate. However, from Prince Edward Island to South Jersey and Pennsylvania there is significant variation. The northernmost regions of Algonquia tend to be notably colder than the southernmost regions.

Algonquia is a founding member of the North American League and has played an active role in continental affairs for much of the twentieth and twenty first centuries. It enjoys close relations with Russia and Japan, with whom it acts to promote democratic causes abroad.
