Atlantia, officially the Republic of Atlantia, is a coastal country primarily located in the eastern coast of North American continent. It borders Quebec to the north, Wabacia to the northwest, the Confederacy to the southwest, and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Atlantia claims a border with the Confederacy through the disputed territory of Southern Appalachia. Atlantia has about 76 million inhabitants. Albany serves as the nation'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, migrated from Asia through the frozen Bering strait during the Ice Age. The region was eventuually explored by Europeans such as Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524, then by Henry Hudson in 1611. The region of what is now Atlantia played an instrumental role in history, particularly in the United States 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 migrations of Europeans as early as the 17th century, which was then followed by Africans and Asians in the future. 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 of the late 2020s. During the Grand Invasion, eight Mid-Atlantic states and six New England republics of the U.S. seceded from the Zel’amin-led government, and declared its independence as a republic. With its own army, Atlantia fought against Hozekians and Zel’amin government. After the invasion ended, the republic tried to maintain its southern and western territory from the expansion of the Avalon Empire, before finally incorporated into 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.
