History

See also: Culture of Albany

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.

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, FroyourFilms, Pirate_Ron, Scrabs, Gabee and Adolf_Hitlar to name a few.

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 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.
