Atlantia, officially the Republic of Atlantia, is a coastal republic of Earth Union primarily located in the eastern coast of North American continent. It borders Quebec to the north, Lakota to the northwest, the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Confederacy to the southwest. Atlantia claims a border with the confederacy through the disputed territory of Southern Appalachia. The republic is a part of the Northwestern Earth Union District, and covers an area of 807,011 square kilometers (311,942 square miles) with a population of over 76 million residents. Albany serves as the republic’s capital, while New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore are the largest cities throughout its territory.
Continuously inhabited since the 6th millennium BC by various indigenous tribes, humans migrated from Asia through the frozen Bering strait during the Ice Age. The region was eventually explored by Europeans, such as {wp|Giovanni da Verrazzano}} in 1524, then by Henry Hudson in 1611. The region of what is now Atlantia played an important role in history, particularly in the United republics history. It was the exact place where the Thirteen Colonies was established and became the place for the American Revolutionary War. Following the United States’ independence, it served as a center for European migration as early as the 17th century, then followed by Africans and Asians in the later centuries. From the 19th century onwards, many cities have popped up and quickly became the industrial, commerce and cultural center for United States until the Grand Invasion in the late 2020s. During the Grand Invasion, few [[Wikipedia:Mid-Atlantic (United States}|Mid-Atlantic]] and New England states seceded from the Zel’amin-led U.S. government and declared independence as a republic. With its own army, Atlantia fought against Hozekians and Zel’amin United States. After the invasion ended, the republic emerged as a new power in the North American continent, while maintaining a border from the continuous expansion of the Confederacy, before finally incorporated as the Northwestern Earth Union District of the Earth Union in 2043.
Atlantia is an upper-middle income economy and provides universal health care, free primary and secondary education to its citizens, including a subsidy for tertiary education through the LEAD program. It is a federal parliamentary republic. Atlantia is also part of the EU's GMF, and ATA. It is also one of GAIA’s trading partner.
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.
