==History==
===Founding===
The town was not always called Alexandria. For a short period of time, Alexandria was called Istanbul and was located on the on the Bosporus Strait. Bosporus was not very flat, and was a thin stretch of land, so on the evening of 17 October, 2014, OwlCharles decided to move the town to the fertile, flat, and large Nile Delta, founding Alexandria.
===Construction===
The Nile Delta was chosen for its flatness and location near an off coast NPC village. The Port Bridge was the first structure to be built. It connected the village to the mainland. Next the Alexandria Watchtower was built, and the village was adapted to meet the needs of the citizens of Alexandria. On the mainland, the first houses were constructed. The next project slated was the City Hall, but then came the first skyscraper! Standing at an astounding 76 blocks, Pharos Tower is a modern version of the ancient Lighthouse at Alexandria since pharos means lighthouse in Greek. After that, construction on the Great Library began, made to be home to many books and enchantment tables. The second skyscraper built was DONREPANOCHA'S Constructions HQ that is 60 blocks tall.
====London-Ireland War====
War broke out in London and Ireland. Ireland, whose ruler was kingcasey3, seceded from London. The mayor of London ,xexekeli, decided to keep peace for a while, but then declared Ireland an enemy. Ireland took this as an act of war, and attacked London, but was pushed back to New Waterford, which was destroyed with the help of Rome during the fighting. Ireland retreated and then retaliated by destroying London, all while Alexandria tried to negotiate a peace. Ireland would continue on a rampage, attacking Rome unsuccessfully, threatening Alexandria, and attacking Venice, but retreating due to lack of online players. This war brought about the formation of the United Nations. Historians still aren't sure exactly who was to blame for the war, but this war revealed just how fragile peace is.
== Urbanism ==
It had four districts: the Market, Residential, Industrial, and Government districts. 
The tallest building currently was Pharos Tower, standing at 76 blocks tall. The second tallest building was DONREPANOCHA's Constructions HQ, at 60 blocks tall. It was located on the Nile Delta and off the northern coast of Egypt. Alexandria was recently unified with the Antarctic Penninsula town Painniskaya.
