The Crown Colony of New Albion was a Crown colony established in 1770 by the United Kingdom. It became the newest of seven British colonies in Australia. When the Kingdom of Cygnia was established by the Proclamation of Federation in 1785, New Albion was abolished and reintegrated with New Zealand. After the Cygnian War of Independence and the creation of the Empire of Cygnia, New Albion was re-established as a Cygnian colony, and in 1795 was admitted as the seventh Cygnian state — the first to join after the ratification of the constitution.
