Alberta is a nation in Western Canada. It was founded on 21 August 2020 by xGoat in the city of Edmonton. From 21 August 2020 to 17 July 2021 it was a province of the Salish Confederation. The Prime Minister (formerly known as Premier) is WeirdGamerAidan. The Governor General, the ceremonial head of state, has been Fortis_Ipsum for the entirety of Alberta's existence.

== 🧾'''History''' ==
On April 16, 2020, xGoat recreated the City of Strathcona on the ruins of the [[Cascadia|Cascadian]] town of the same name. The city was renamed to Edmonton shortly afterward, although the name lives on in the inner-city neighbourhood of Old Strathcona. Quickly, xGoat brought Edmonton into the [[Salish Confederation]]. The early days of Alberta were punctuated by attacks, predominantly led by BonZZil of Washington.

xGoat rose to power in the [[Salish Confederation]] in June 2020 and was elected Chancellor. He presided over a tumultuous term, facing several foreign relations challenges. xGoat elected not to seek reelection, and focused on Edmonton instead; the city's population doubled in the following month. It was around this time that the ''Alberta Independence Movement'' emerged, spearheaded by xGoat and Fortis_Ipsum. On August 21, 2020, they successfully amassed the gold necessary to form Alberta as a canton of the [[Salish Confederation]].
