Algeria has seen the ruling hand of many countries through its life -- first as a colony of ancient Tyre, then the growing empire of the Carthaginians. It fell under the sway of Rome, then the Vandals, and the Ottomans. In modern times it was governed by France until the revolution in the 1960's. Following Doomsday Algeria suffered greatly, and eventually fractured into a number of feuding city states, disconnected from much of the rest of the world.
When the Confederation of Greece received the League of Nations Mandate for much of the Eastern Mediterranean, the Greeks voyaged further afield as well, and made contact with Algerian cities.
Post Doomsday
Algeria devolved quickly into different city states, some lead by militant Islamic clerics, most lead by a local military leader. The fortunes of these cities waxed and waned. Most were captured by rival cities some number of times and just as quickly released to rule themselves, resulting in an overwhelming state of anarchy.
Since contact has been broached with the Greeks and the Sicilians, most of the city states have sided with the Atlantic Defense Community and Greece against the threat of the Sicilians. Those that haven't openly sided with Greece are the few that refuse all contact with the outside world at this time. The Greeks and League of Nations have begun training a coast guard to help the Algerians withstand any Sicilian aggression.
