Alba (Gaelic), or Scotland (Scots), is a nation located in the northern half of the British isles. Founded by the MacAlpin dynasty, a Dalriadic ruling house which subjugated the Pictish inhabitants of northern Britain, Alba dates back to the 800s, and has a survived invasions by Vikings and Angles. More recently, Alba has acted as the leader of the Celtic League, in rivalry with Anglia to the south, and remains a significant naval and mercantile power.
