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.
The Grand Divide that engulfed the entire globe resulted in the division of Earth geography, both natural and political. The tragedy divided lands and oceans, which subsequently divided countries into multiple parts. Nivesia is the direct result of the event, where the {{w[|United States}} broke up into four parts, all divided by an invisible wall.
Years after the tragedy, Nivesia has grown into a regional superpower, massing a large territory primarily in the midwestern part of North American continent. Nivesia operates as a presidential constitutional republic and liberal democracy with three distinct branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial. Its legislature consists of two chambers - the House of Representatives, which is population-based, and the Senate, which provides equal representation for each state. The nation prioritizes individual liberties, equality before the law, individualism, and limited government, allowing considerable autonomy to its states and territories.
Nivesia has held the position of the world's tenth largest nominal GDP since approximately 2048, having quickly recovered from the tragedy. Additionally, it holds membership in key international organizations such as 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.
