The Islands of United States of New Atlantis, commonly called United States of New Atlantis, or USNA for short, is a democratic archipelago that consists of seven islands.
History
First settlements
The earliest evidence of settlers in Atlantis shows that the first settlements were established around 2000 BCE, but expeditions to the islands dates back to 1500 BCE. Although little evidence of those expeditions remains, a letter to the emperor of Werthy from 1600 BCE proves their existence. The first settlers were mostly of Werthian descent, but they became a bit more varied overtime. As the settlements grew bigger, Werthy claimed them as their territory. Popular legend states that around 100 BCE, Ulthrel was exiled from mainland Werthy and he fled to Atlantis, where he would try to convince the inhabitants to claim independence. He succeeded right as Werthy had just lost their Emperor and so the islands of Atlantis gained their independence. The validity to these claims are questionable as no evidence of Ulthrel has been found in neither Werthian or Atlantisian record. Most historians agree that while the independence of Atlantis happened right as the Emperor of Werthy died, Ulthrel was most likely made up.
Rest of the history
Sometime during the 14th-century, Atlantis experienced volcanic activities and all of the seven islands sank. Most of the population managed to escape to _________.
The volcanic activities was first documented again in 1676 by the crew of a fishing boat and after less than a decade the four islands of Atlantis were once again above water. During that time, the Atlantisian king Nomar XI made plans to move all of his people back there again, but didn't realize that most of the infrastructure and all of the wildlife and plant where gone. So he put aside those plans and began assembling a restoration crew to bring back the plants and some essential buildings on all of the islands. Nomar XI died in 1701, but the project was quickly taken up again by his son Orian I. When Orian I died in 1740, the project was almost complete, but his sucessor Nomar XII wasn't happy with the plans and updated them which added a few years to the project. The project was declared as done in 1767.
