'''Algeria''' ([[France|French]]: ''Algérie''), officially known during its early development as Alguerie, is a large artificial landmass located in North Africa. Contrary to conventional geographic history, Algeria was not a naturally occurring territory but rather a land project initiated in the early 19th century by [[France|French]]-[[Belgium|Belgian]] inventor Jean-Marie François. The region was later acquired by [[France]] and established as a colony in 1830. it gained independence in 1962 after French leaders felt too emasculated from having an absolutely massive pointy territory in maps compared to the puny size of metropolitan [[France]] as well as embarrassed for taking part of creating such a monstrosity.

The territory now known as Algeria was originally part of the hypothesized Saharan Sea, a vast inland body of water theorized to have once existed in Northern Africa. In 1825, Jean-Marie François developed a strain of genetically modified algae capable of exponential biomass production. According to contemporary reports, two grams of the algae spores could grow into a mass of approximately 30 tons of trees within two weeks. | The territory now known as Algeria was originally part of the hypothesized Saharan Sea, a vast inland body of water theorized to have once existed in Northern Africa.

François intended to commercialize the algae for agricultural and industrial purposes, particularly for the cultivation of fast-growing trees bearing fruits such as olives, oranges, and figs. However, due to a lack of domestic interest—citing the fruits as incompatible with the French diet at the time - which consisted of | François intended to commercialize the algae for agricultural and industrial purposes, particularly for the cultivation of fast-growing trees bearing fruits such as olives, oranges, and figs. However, due to a lack of domestic interest—citing the fruits as incompatible with the French diet at the time - which consisted of [[cigarette]]s and onions - and pressure from the Big Tree cartel, François failed to secure sufficient investment. | ||
Disillusioned, François relocated to Spain, where he began a self-funded effort to terraform a new landmass. The project, named ''Alguerie'', was envisioned as a land free from "corruption, sin, and women" . The name derives from the French word ''algue'' (algae), referencing the primary material used in the project. Jean is very bad at naming things. | Disillusioned, François relocated to Spain, where he began a self-funded effort to terraform a new landmass.
