Atlantsia

Atlantsia (Arabic: الاتلانتسيا al-Atlantsya), officially the Democratic Republic of Atlantsia, is a nation in the Arabian Penninsula and a member state of the Alliance of Independent Nations.

History
The region which is now Atlantsia was first explored around 900 A.D. At the time, the land was deemed unfit for settlement due to the high temperature of the desert and lack of arable soil. However, during the 14th century, the region proved to hold a key geographic location due to it's relative distance from the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, both of which were major trade routes for silk and spice merchants.

Settlements were founded in the region in the form of small outposts to resupply ships on trade routes. Slowly, settlers began to move to the areas around the markets with the ambition of becoming wealthy by selling goods and services to travelers who docked in the markets.

In the 15th century, the Atlantsean monarchy was founded. Farid I was appointed by the people as the first monarch on his platform to monitor farming and trade.

In 1938, after the death of Cachali I, the throne was ascended by Hashain I. Hashain proved to be an oppressive totalitarian leader and was overthrown and placed in exile in 1942.
