<blockquote>''<u>See also: [[Culture of Albany]]</u>''</blockquote>The Imperial People's Special Administrative Duchy of Albany was founded on February 12, 2021 by Solidarity Party Supreme Chairman Adrian Volkov. In this time, Albany was under the administration of the United States of America. Following the Cold War, the town collapsed due to inactivity, but was refounded on August 26 as part of Quebec.
Albany was created by [[AdrianHES]] on [[Decay Era|February 12, 2021]]. It was funded by [[Nova:New York (Nation)|New York]] leader [[Lucas2011]] as a means of expanding America's geopolitical control northward, during the [[Cold War]] between the [[United States of America|United States]] and the [[North American Pact]]. It existed as a subject of New York until May 2021, when it became the spawning ground for a resistance movement against the American government and Lucas2011. Following [[United States Elections Brought to Light|AdrianHES' crusade against the government]], and the subsequent [[Rawhide]] leak, Albany's control was given to BetaCheese and it fell around a month later.
 
The town then underwent a major boom in population, with many new citizens joining to reap the glorious harvest of Albany. As the Solidarity Party gained dominance in Quebec, the town of Albany grew in power. In early November, Albany was reclassified as a duchy. It is also controlled completely by the Solidarity Party, who imposes their wonderful ideologies of equity and collective gain on the town.
 
The town has had several notable alumni as residents and embassy holders. Among these are BetaCheese, [[deathlife23]], [[New Albany|FroyourFilms]], Pirate_Ron, Scrabs, Gabee and [[Adolf Hitlar (leader of Nazi Germany)|Adolf_Hitlar]] to name a few.

The town experienced a revival in growth in early 2022, especially after the western expansion of Albany into the [[Death Valley, Albany|Death Valley]] region. Among the new changes included the birth of the [[Little Italy, Albany|Little Italy]] neighborhood.

== Pre-Quebec  History==
Albany was established on 12 February, 2021 by former mayor [[AdrianHES]]. Prior to the fall of the USA, it was the northernmost United States town in North America, and the northernmost town in the [[East Coast Metropolis]] that belonged to the United States. Albany is approximately a minute away, by foot, from downtown New York City and New York's /n spawn.
 
Following the fall of the USA, AdrianHES decreed the town in a state of emergency and ordered shelters, barriers, and guarded checkpoints to be installed. This project is ongoing.
 
On 3 June, 2021, AdrianHES resigned his position as mayor. BetaCheese automatically acquired the role.
 
The history of Albany is one of equal conflict and prosperity. Albany was and is a prime landing spot for immigrants to the USA, some of which leave Albany in search of other American towns. Albany is the home of a vibrant small community, who take pride in the towns small size. Albany has also been the subject of several land disputes, the most prominent being the town's ongoing blockade in the west by Death Valley, Illinois.


Albany was founded on 12 February, 2021 by AdrianHES with the financial and technical help of current New York governor Lucas2011. Soon after, roads and houses began to be erected by AdrianHES and other new town members. Several shops were also built, but they never flourished due to the almost nonexistant out-of-town traffic through Albany.
Albany was revived in August 2021 and became a subject of [https://earthmc.fandom.com/wiki/Qu%C3%A9bec Imperial Quebec]. AdrianHES later became Prime Minister of Quebec through the [[Quebec Solidarity Party|Solidarity Party]], and a member of the Quebec nobility. It survived as one of the most populated towns in Quebec until the server reset in May 2022.


Albany suffered greatly during the height of the war between the United States and the NAP. Having exhausted most funds on geographic expansion, the town went bankrupt in mid-March, 2021. A small loan of 362 gold was acquired by a generous American politician, and by May, the town was back on its feet and growing stronger than ever before.
In the dawn of Terra Aurora, Albany was founded on the island of Borneo as a subject of [[Indochina]] (many Indochinese leaders were members of Quebec royalty). AdrianHES helped build the town up, but also transitioned the Volkov Family into an [[EarthMC Mafia|organized crime entity responsible for extortion and gold duping]]. He later got banned on November 11, 2022 for [[EarthMC Mafia Whacks|evidence forgery]], and the town leadership transitioned to [[BattingSine396|BattingSine]].


<br />
BattingSine led the town throughout the remainder of 2022, much of 2023, and 2024. Adrian was given mayorship temporarily several times, but abdicated it. Loganslair served as mayor from mid-2024 until March 24, 2025 when it was transferred back to AdrianHES. During the leadership of BattingSine and Loganslair, Albany achieved hundreds of residents, immense economic growth, and the creation of a nation - Borneo - during the [[Indochinese Civil War]].

Albany is the capital city and district of the Kingdom of Borneo. Its current iteration was created on May 1, 2022 though its original iteration on Terra Nova was founded on February 12, 2021. Albany is equally considered a city and an ethno-state, encompassing many generations of players and its own cross-server community, known as Albanites. It has a rich history, and has been subject to several different nations, including the United States and New York, Imperial Quebec, and recently Indochina. It has been in a state of diaspora since the beginning of Terra Aurora, with much of its original membership living on the island of Borneo. Several attempts have been made to re-establish Albany in its original location, though all have failed. It became the sovereign mother city of Borneo following the Indochinese Civil War.

Albany is controlled by the dynastic Volkov family, and the current leader is AdrianHES. As of March 25, 2025, it had 98 residents.

History

Albany was created by AdrianHES on February 12, 2021. It was funded by New York leader Lucas2011 as a means of expanding America's geopolitical control northward, during the Cold War between the United States and the North American Pact. It existed as a subject of New York until May 2021, when it became the spawning ground for a resistance movement against the American government and Lucas2011. Following AdrianHES' crusade against the government, and the subsequent Rawhide leak, Albany's control was given to BetaCheese and it fell around a month later.

Albany was revived in August 2021 and became a subject of Imperial Quebec. AdrianHES later became Prime Minister of Quebec through the Solidarity Party, and a member of the Quebec nobility. It survived as one of the most populated towns in Quebec until the server reset in May 2022.

In the dawn of Terra Aurora, Albany was founded on the island of Borneo as a subject of Indochina (many Indochinese leaders were members of Quebec royalty). AdrianHES helped build the town up, but also transitioned the Volkov Family into an organized crime entity responsible for extortion and gold duping. He later got banned on November 11, 2022 for evidence forgery, and the town leadership transitioned to BattingSine.

BattingSine led the town throughout the remainder of 2022, much of 2023, and 2024. Adrian was given mayorship temporarily several times, but abdicated it. Loganslair served as mayor from mid-2024 until March 24, 2025 when it was transferred back to AdrianHES. During the leadership of BattingSine and Loganslair, Albany achieved hundreds of residents, immense economic growth, and the creation of a nation - Borneo - during the Indochinese Civil War.
