The Federation of Atlantia or commonly known as Atlantia, is an intercontinental country primarily located in North America. It is situated primarily on the eastern coast of the North American continent. Its 16 states collectively house over 166 million people across a land area of 2,276,225 square kilometers. The country shares borders with Acadia to the north, Nivesia to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Richmond serves as the nation's capital, while New York functions as its primary financial hub, with the Mid-Atlantic region being its largest urban area.

Atlantia was a direct result from a global disaster that divided lands and oceans, namely the Grand Divide. The event itself caused near-invisible energy walls that divided the North American continent into four regions.

Atlantia values individual liberties, equality before the law, and limited government, granting significant autonomy to its states and territories. Its legislative branch is bicameral, comprising the House of Representatives, which is based on population, and the Senate, which ensures equal representation for each state. Operating as a presidential constitutional republic and liberal democracy, Atlantia has three distinct branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. Atlantia has grown into a considerable power in North American continent, years after the tragedy.

Since around 2048, Atlantia has maintained its position as the world's eleventh-largest nominal GDP, recovering quickly from the disaster. Additionally, it is also a member of major international organizations, including the World Bank, IMF, NATO, and the UN Security Council.

Etymology

The name "Atlantia" came from the word "Atlantic", which refers to the Atlantic ocean. The word "Atlantic" itself came from Atlantikôi pelágei (Ancient Greek: Ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει, 'the Atlantic sea', etym. 'Sea of Atlas'), where the name refers to "the sea beyond the pillars of Heracles" which is said to be part of the sea that surrounds all land. In these uses, the name refers to Atlas, the Titan in Greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.
