}}The '''Free City of Alexandria'''
Alexandria is bordered by [[Bobanga]] in the south, [[Cantina]] and [[Varathia]] in the west, [[Accelerada]] in the north and [[Agotep]] in the north-east. It also has the [[Yamato]] territory of [[Puerto Vexler|Port Paradis]] as an enclave. The Free City of Alexandria also includes the Autonomous Territory of the [[Alexandria#Trevie Kingdom|Trevie Kingdom]] and the Colony of [[Alexandria#Solitude|Solitude]].

In late October 2019, to the chagrin of the Varathian Senate and citizens, two-thirds of the Varathian Discord were deleted overnight. This sparked a new wave of discontent and soon after, the Senate ratified the First Varathian Constitution in order to limit the scope of the Emperor's powers.<ref name=":1" /><ref>[https://civbooks.github.io/books/CivRealms_2/JesstheFish/Rise_of_a_City.html jessthefish: Rise of a City, page 8]</ref>[[File:Early Alexandria.png|thumb|400px|An early pic of Alexandrias development, showing the construction of the Upboat.

=== Founding ===
▲On October 30th, 2019, [[TTastic]], growing tired of Varathian politics, decided to venture east and found a new city. When he reached the eastern shores, he found a bunch of abandoned stone houses, which were the remnants of the small nation of [[Conqui]], that had recently been dissolved and abandoned.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/3QTrRuh noahravn: "An interview with TopHatOfGold, founder of the one-man nation of Conqui"]</ref> Upon this discovery, TTastic decided to use these ruins as a tempoary base of operations for his settlement.<ref name=":0" />

On December 2nd, 2019, under the backdrop of rising dissatisfaction against the Emperor, Alexandria declared independence from the Varathian Empire.<ref name=":1" /><ref>[[:File:Alexandrian Independence.png|TTastic: Alexandrian Declaration of Independence]]</ref><ref>[https://civbooks.github.io/books/CivRealms_2/JesstheFish/Rise_of_a_City.html jessthefish: Rise of a City, page 11]</ref> The declaration of independence was not met with any military resistance from Varathia.

On March 17th, 2020, members of the [[Fight or Die Coalition]] met with the Bobangan government to discuss the future of the Bobangan jungle. This was a direct result of the Ez2War, where the First Scholar of Bobanga, DarkyDu, had participated on the Ez2 side of the war. After 6 days of discussion, the members of the Bobanga Conference agreed upon a new partition of the Bobangan Jungle. The Result was that Alexandria gained new Land in the eastern jungle, [[Anvard]] gained land in the southern jungle, [[Miletos]] gained land in the western jungle and the new nations of [[Eslenti]] and [[Cantina]] (formerly known as Risunsky and Sons) were founded. In addition to this, Bobanga also agreed to recognize the [[Yamato]] claim over [[Puerto Vexler|Port Paradis]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/fnfnxr/the_results_of_the_bobangan_conference/</ref><ref>[https://discord.gg/3wD4cfW Alexandria Discord], Archive, #bobanga-conference</ref>

=== Unofficial Skirmishes with Savaguard ===
On April 8th, 2020, following Twinkieminer's status as a wanted individual and guarantees that Twinkie would not get pearled by Savaguardians within his refuge of Alexandria, Saren Solaris, Jester of Savaguard at the time, attempted to pearl Twinkie. Twinkie was showing new player Chickenwinggeek around the Alexandrian Aqua Nether and exploring potentially good locations for a hotel next to the water when Saren unexpectedly approached him and initiated combat. Twinkie eventually escaped into the water, and evaded pearling. However, he was banned from Civrealms for a period of time due to alleged speed hacks. Popular opinion was largely that Saren in his evidence video simply did not know how to hold the sprint key, however, Twinkie was still banned.
=== Coup + Liberation During the USA War ===
While fighting in the USA War, City Council were forced to pack up all citizens and travel to Heaven in order to make war plans. Using this to their advantage, a portion of the remaining population led by TwinkieMiner began a coup, announcing it by constructing a giant, obsidian spider in the Alexandria Bay as a base of operations. With all members off fighting the war, the small group was able to successfully occupy the city from the Obsidian Spider.
Not long after, TwinkieMiner was banned from the server. Given the opportunity, TTastic, Albyrt, Le_Brine, NoahRavn, ieatazz69, Jaydon_, and FreeStyleJr08 were able to rush into Alexandria and disable the obsidian spider. ChickenWingGeek and DarkCenturion were briefly pearled but quickly called in backup from the USA, resulting in their pearls being dropped. Rebel Beni_Shapiro was almost pearled but frantically kited to a safe, prebuilt bunker. Jaydon_ was pearled saving the life of ieatazz69. The rest of the City Council withdrew back to Heaven to continue the war effort, the city returning to City Council control upon peace negotiations with [[ChickenWingGeek]] over handing over groups back, coup member SH1LL4RYCLINTON cleaning out the spider bunker before quitting, and the coup's USA allies being mass banned and losing the war, effectively ensuring permanent City Council rule.
Alexandria remains one of the most active nations on the server, with widespread objection to Stonato's comment that it was a "failed state" serving as an initial catalyst in the series of events that led to him being banned from his own server's discord.

The Bureau of Elections is led by noahravn.
==== Bureau of the Aqua Nether ====
More recently set up under Chickenwinggeek, the Bureau of the A.N assumes responsibility of the languishing Double Diamond program, which had a backlog of un-mined diamond ore spanning multiple weeks at the time of creation of the Bureau, as well as miscellaneous responsibilities in the AN such as designating pits. It was implicated in the memey creation of the Alexandrian Aquanether Autonomous Zone on 7/13/2020: a protest created by chickenwinggeek after he lost to a cat in representative elections despite the common convention of cats not counting as "people" under the constitution. Royalist elements of the Alexandrian Monarchist Party were also nominally involved, as well as active member of the Bureau A.N. Odyssey18.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_the_Tank_Engine Thomas the Tank Engine] is a fictional anthropomorphised steam locomotive.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_the_Tank_Engine</ref> On January 26th, 2020, ieatazz69 accidentally copy pasted the introduction of the Wikipedia page for Thomas the Tank Engine into the Alexandria Discord. This quickly spiraled out of control, with everyone spamming different variations of the sentence "Thomas the Tank Engine is a fictional anthropomorphised steam locomotive.". Thomas the Tank Engine thus became the first Alexandrian Copypasta.
