Alexandria (/ˌæləɡˈzændriə/; Dutch: Alexandrië; Voshaans: Alieksandrije) officially the City of Alexandria (Dutch: Stad van Alexandrië), is the capital of Atmora and is a coastal seaport city in the Province of Pruzhana within the Kingdom of Lieseltania, with the Karmutzen mountains to the east of the city and directly bordering the Bay of Pruzhana. The 2016 census recorded 4,295,929 people in the city, making it the third largest Atmoran municipality.

Alexandria was built along the Seim river incorporating the cities and towns of Arensgenhout, Leidenschendam-Voorburg, Seimsburg, Vorst, De Zweth, Metzochin, and Oudergem in 6 April 1820 by the Federal District Act. The city was named after High Queen Alexandra the Great the mother of the confederation. Alexandria was founded as compromise between the states as previously Pruzhana, the capital of Lieseltania, served as the capitol of the Confederation. However Lieseltania would not cede the land along the mouth of the Seim to Parliament.
