Alameda, formally the Republic of Alameda (Alamedan: Republica 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 Salvación and the largest city is Tallapoosa-Montepaz. 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 recongized constituent groups: Alamedines, Chuscos, Muskogee and Anigiduwagi.
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 and various 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.
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 Garzan, with 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.
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.
