Around 1872, separatist groups in Abala and Bergenaria proclaimed independence and began the period known as the "Atitlanese Divorce" (Almagrian: ''Divorcio Atitlanés''). These two domains would become independent nations and, in the case of Bergenaria, one of the oldest rivals of Atitlan.

Atitlan, officially the Democratic Republic of Atitlan (Almagrian: República Democrática de Atitlán) is a country in the southern portion of Triania. It is bordered to the east by Sainuco; to the souteast by Bergenaria; and to the south by the Barnesian Sea . Atitlan is organized as a federation comprising 42 states and Chalatenango, its capital and largest metropolis. Other major urban areas include Acolmán, Santa Rosalía, Techalxtepec, Tlapanco, Yehualtepec and Canatlán. Atitlan is home to 89,970,412 people and one of the largest nations in Triania.

Atitlan is a federal presidential republic. Legislature is in charge of a bicameral Congress: the Senate (serving as the upper house) and the Chamber of Deputies (serving as the lower house). The economy of Atitlan is very diversified, although it is heavily disputed whether it should be considered a regional power in Triania.

Etymology

Atitlan comes from the atlacatle word atitlan which means "place between the water". The name itself makes a reference to the former Atlacatle inhabitants on the foundation of Chalatenango, as the city was built surrounded by walls of sand and the waters of the Barnesian Sea.

Another origin explains that "Atitlan" is the name of the ancestral home of the Atlacatle peoples. The myth details that Atitlan sunk beneath the waves in a fit of rage of Nonohualco, the main god of the Atlacatle. As an apology, Nonohualco guided his children into a new place where they would settle their city.

After it gained independence from the Almagrian Empire, there were many attempts to form a federalized union amongst the greater territories of Atitlan. These efforts were hindered by outbreaks of violence and disagreements between the several separatist groups. In 1800, just a year after the consumation of independence, Atitlan would enter a major conflict known as the Sucession War (Almagrian: Guerra de Sucesión). After 12 years of unrest and disorder, a monarchist faction under the guidance of General José Luis Motelchiuh emerged as the official victors of the conflict.

On February 19, 1813, Motelchiuh proclaimed himself Huey Tlahtoani Xochiquentzin II and hold his coronation on the Palace of the Nation. The following day, he proclaimed the Great Empire of Atitlan (Almagrian: Gran Imperio de Atitlán) alongside a new constitution and legislature, akin to a modern-day constitutional monarchy. Like in the earlier days of Atitlan, a Council of the Elders was established to elect the next ruler of Atitlan, however, the role of the Council of Elders was diminished as the huey tlatoani still had the final decision on most issues.
