Coleton

Coleton is Accorlia's most populous state with a population of 8,581,408. Coleton is home to roughly a third of the entire population of Accorlia, with an additional 88% of residents living in the state's capital, Albany

Prior to European settlement, the state was originally inhabited by various Jarragah tribes, which had been undisturbed from the outside world since the 18th century. The first contact between European settlers and the Jarragan people occurred at Albany Cove as apart of the 'New Duveland Fleet of 1802.' In the present day, the Jarragan only make up 1.2% of the state's population.

The state was named after John Coleton, a young English explorer who arrived at modern-day Warrington in 1751, where he and his crew stayed for two weeks, surveying and analyzing the area. He continued down the coastline and arrived at modern-day Coleton's Landing, 21km out of the Albany city center. Continuing on his studies, he then left back for England before returning as a part of the 'New Duveland Fleet of 1802.' His important surveying of the land helped acquaint the new-settlers to the land before they arrived, making it easier to adapt to new life. In 1889, as Accorlia federated to become a nation, it was determined that Coleton would be the name of the state which encapsulates Albany, Kowan, and Callimon due to his importance in the region.

The Albany Harbour is the most well-known bay in Coleton and is among many others along the western coastline. It hosts what is considered the main passenger and commercial port on the west-coast, followed only by the Tebec International Port as the countries largest. The largest bay is Wellbrook, which features a rugged, mountainous landscape which has generally made it hard for habitation. The Fletcher Mountain Ranges covers a majority of the western coast and south coast, spanning from the northernmost border to the Callimon metropolitan area at Wells Bay. Generally, Coleton receives an Oceanic temperate climate throughout each season, featuring generally cool summers and cool winters, with a relatively narrow temperature range and few extremes of temperature. The highest temperature recorded was 42.3°C, while the lowest temperature was -4.8°C.
