Aljazair

The Republic of Aljazair, formally known as the Kingdom of Tlemcen, was a former state of the Sterling Crownlands, and is now an independent republic.

It was built with the goal of bringing economic prosperity and further expanding trade routes. It was founded by accident when Dubbington had little to no knowledge about the political claims of the area. After realizing the political situation, the town decided to join Lumeno as an autonomous state. It later managed to gain independence as a sovereign state.

History
The city of Tlemcen was founded on February 18, 2021, and joined Sterling Crownlands under Lumenese jurisdiction on February 19, 2021. There is little information about the history of the state. The city state became an autonomous region of the Sterling Crownlands on February 21, 2021 after several talks with the leader of Lumeno.

Crisis
On March 6th, 2021, Aljazair was accused by Viodoxan politicians of housing bandits which had robbed Viodoxa recently. The Head of State of Aljazair promptly refused the allegations. After meetings with the High King of Sterling, Viodoxa had built an improvised fortress on Aljazairean coastlines. Due to neither parties consulting the government of Aljazair, the fort was met with aggression by the government. After chatting back and forth between Viodoxan forces and Dubbington himself while fishing, Aljazair withdrew aggression from the personnel present.

After the "heated debate", Viodoxan forces pulled out immediately, while Aljazairean forces remained for demolition of the fort.

Political Turmoil
Aljazair has found itself with an uneasy situation with external forces such as Bardonia and its vassals. While no violence has broken out between the two states, tensions have been rising ever since. The UNP has also looked down upon Aljazair for its slow response to humanitarian crises which have been erupting from the growing continent.

Economy
The economy of Aljazair is centered around gold mining, iron mining, and trading. The sale of other commodities such as leather and golden apples are another part of the states economy. Fishing has grown into the largest economy nation-wide, generating enough jobs to cover everyone within the capital. Enchantment books and other such goods have contributed a lot to the local economy.

Nomination
On March 6th, 2021, Dubbington of Aljazair had been nominated as the Sterling Economic Department, due to the quick developments done throughout the west Plagos region.

Regional Economic Power
Aljazair has managed to prove itself as a strong standing economic within the west Plagos region, generating capital faster than most of its neighbors.

Infrastructure
The main theme of the construction within the nation is heavily inspired by the architectural style of Tlemcen. The capital city is planned to have very compact street systems in order to fit as many things within an area as possible. This may also be because of the monarchs personal preference for small spaces.

Planned Projects
The creation of a multiple large ports is planned to to promote trade in the region. The capital is also undergoing wide reaching urbanization plans, including many industrial sectors to accommodate the urban expansion. There have also been plans to settle new cities within the southern parts of the nation, such as Oran, Jijel and Tiaret. Those cities were planned for construction until the proposal for the Tlemcen metropolitan area came around, completely obscuring the idea for the reconstruction of Oran, rendering the southern city completely useless.

International Relations
Being a petty republic within the Sterling Crownlands, Aljazair has difficulty obtaining recognition from outside powers, which has taken somewhat of a toll on its trading potentials. Fortunately, more member states, as well as smaller powers outside of Crownland borders have slowly started to create diplomatic ties with the ever so growing republic.

Due to its status of, the nation has managed to create close ties with Lumeno, Baykonia, Shigetada, and the independent fishing village of Skipforhofn. Aljazair has also tried to establish diplomatic ties Aurlûnor. Those ties have somewhat been accomplished, with varying degrees of success.

Population Growth
During late February, 2021, Aljazair experienced a boom in population, causing the Monarchy to pass new laws on land developments. Because of this, housing prices have slowly started to shift, usually around lower values due to the size of the buildings given by the government.

The growth has quickly decreased, mainly due to the public no longer having access to teleportation. Disinterest for the pacific republic have also been shown by the general public, mainly within Plagos. Ever since, the population has seen an enormous downward slope in population growth. A slope that would put the state at a severe disadvantage.

Oran River Incidents
Several sightings of absurd constructions have been seen throughout the Oran River region, as well as the Neuija Deserts. Many of them range from towers of rare materials, or formation of obsidian throughout lava reserves, and even trails of blocks in random directions. Authorities of Aljazair have put bounties for whoever is responsible for these phenomenas.

Organizations
Aljazair is no stranger to organizations, whether local or even global.
