The Socialist Republic of Alexiandra, commonly known as Alexiandra, is a socialist republic in southern Greysteel. Alexiandra is bordered by Harrisopia and The Greater Vakolicci Haven to the west, untamed wilderness to the south-west, and ocean to the east.
With a surface area of around 27,685,710 kilometres and a population of approximately 9.79 billion, Alexiandra is one of the largest and most populous nations in Greysteel. While the majority of the Republic enjoys a mild climate, large swathes of northern Alexiandra are blanketed in snow for much of the average year. The nation's population density is greatest in the south-east, where rivers and fertile valleys shelter dozens of large cities, including the capital, Lockbourne.
After being discovered by explorers from northern Greysteel in approximately 39,000 BCE, Alexiandra was conquered by the Medwedian Democratic Federation in 1640. After serving as a loyal colony for over two centuries, the nation was finally granted independence in 1841. Under the rule of King Protarion I, the Alexiandran nation-state enjoyed about seventy years of uninterrupted peace and prosperity. In 1916, however, dissent caused by the deployment of Alexiandran troops to Europe as part of World War I boiled over, resulting in the much-celebrated July Coup. A new government, led by revolutionary general Marcos Lupii, formally took power on September 4, 1916. After the Great War, Alexiandra withdrew from the world stage, opting to follow a policy of isolationism. Finally, in 1975, the Republic enacted the historic Free Trade Act, which opened the nation up to foreign visitation.
Today, Alexiandra is a vocal member of the international community. As a founding member of the Communist Defense Compact, the Republic's foreign policy focuses upon the destruction of slaver states and the defence of other left-wing nations.
