Albion

Albion is a continent and a political subdivision of the planet of Hyperion, a member world of the Stellar Republic of Hathor. It located in the northern and western hemispheres of the world, and is bordered by Fusōdō to the southwest, Puerto Estelar to the east, and the underwater megasprawls of Arcadia-Atlantis to the south. is the third-most populated continent on Hyperion with a total population of 12 billion, behind the continent of Destino and the capital continent of Puerto Estelar, and is also the third largest by area. Through Arcadia-Atlantis, it is connected by transport networks to Puerto Estelar and Sacrosancto.
The continent of Albion is considered to be one of the most influential on Hyperion due to being one of the earliest colonized landmasses, in addition to hosting the la
rgest number of developed cities on the world (such as the Port of Albion, Jade City, Porto Saudade, the Hyperion Finance District, and the Empire Ramparts). Albion is politically subdivided into over a hundred different metrozones, each with their own dedicated municipal governments, and is officially governed by the Continental Government of Albion, a subdivision of the Planetary Republic of Hyperion that in itself is a part of the Hathor stellar government.
The continent was first settled by American, Chinese, and European colonists in 2090, and hosted the first surface-based shipbreaking yards of Hyperion in what is now the Maogang metrozone. An explosion of demand for naval supplies, recycling, and construction allowed Hyperion (and specifically Albion) to experience population booms starting in the 2170s with even megacorporations such as the Chen Wu Corporation investing into and subsidizing the events of colonization and economic growth in the what was originally the "Albion Sub-republic". From then on, Albion would become the centerpiece of corporate investiture and thereby development, becoming the most developed continent by the 2200s.
