New Albion was an English colony in southwestern Borealia, in the OTL California region. It was one of the first official established colonies in the New World, and first grabbed attention of English settlers due to its large deposits of gold and other precious metals. As the colony grew, New Albion consisted of territories directly governed by the English crown, often with high populations of English citizens. The land also consisted of minor Chiefly States that were governed by local chiefs, established through official treaties, and often with high Native Borealian populations.
