Albania Geoparsing Example:(Book excerpt from Ali Pacha by Alexandre Dumas, Pere)

Albania was one of the most difficult provinces to manage. Its inhabitants were poor, brave, and, 
the nature of the country was mountainous and inaccessible. The pashas had great difficulty in
collecting tribute, because the people were given to fighting for their bread.

Whether Mahomedans or Christians, the Albanians were above all soldiers. Descended on the one 
side from the unconquerable Scythians, on the other from the ancient Macedonians, not long since 
masters of the world; crossed with Norman adventurers brought eastwards by the great movement
of the Crusades; they felt the blood of warriors flow in their veins, and that war was their element.

Sometimes at feud with one another, canton against canton, village against village, often even house 
against house; sometimes rebelling against the government their sanjaks; sometimes in league with
 these against the sultan; they never rested from combat except in an armed peace. Each tribe had
 its military organisation, each family its fortified stronghold, each man his gun on his shoulder. 
When they had nothing better to do, they tilled their fields, or mowed their neighbours', 
carrying off, it should be noted, the crop; or pastured their, flocks, watching the opportunity
 to trespass over pasture limits. This was the normal and regular life of the population of Epirus,
 Thesprotia, Thessaly, and Upper Albania. Lower Albania, less strong, was also less active and bold; 
and there, as in many other parts of Turkey, the dalesman was often the prey of the mountaineer.

It was in the mountain districts where were preserved the recollections of Scander Beg, and 
where the manners of ancient Laconia prevailed; the deeds of the brave soldier were sung on the lyre,
 and the skilful robber quoted as an example to the children by the father of the family. 
Village feasts were held on the booty taken from strangers; and the favourite dish was always a 
stolen sheep. Every man was esteemed in proportion to his skill and courage, and a man's chances 
of making a good match were greatly enhanced when he acquired the reputation of being an agile 
mountaineer and a good bandit.

The Albanians proudly called this anarchy liberty, and religiously guarded a state of disorder 
bequeathed by their ancestors, which always assured the first place to the most valiant.

It was amidst men and manners such as these that Ali Tepeleni was born.
