'''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 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.

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.
