History
Establishment Era (12 June 2022 - 02 July 2023)
The Kingdom was founded on 12 July 2022 by Luke I of Albia, with him proclaiming himself as the first King of Albia. After the kingdom was founded the Constitution of Albia was drafted and ratified as well as this some offices where established.
Regency (02 July 2023 - 10 October 2023)
In connection with the long absence of Luke I, his close friend and monarchist leader Andriy-Ludwig decided, with the consent of the inhabitants of Albia, to take over the administration of the state as regent until the appearance of the king.
Incorporation of Belakray(10/16 October 2023 - present)
After communication with the King was lost, the regent took courage and crowned himself King of Albia on October 10 to prevent internal turmoil and the disappearance of the country. On October 16, the Grand Principality of Belakray adopted a princely decree according to which all foreign possessions of the Prince became autonomous parts of Belakray, thus Albia became an autonomous part of Belakray, which it is to this day.
