History of Atlantsia

The modern state of Atlantsia was founded in 1812 as a Portuguese spice trading colony. The nation gradually came under the direct influence of the British Empire, before declaring independence in 1965, following the occurence of the Oil Era. The nation maintained itself as an Islamic center of learning and teaching throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, and as a major trading center of spices, ores, and silk. The Oil Era allowed Atlantsia to emerge as a key geo-political and economical factor, and it has developed exorbitantly since.
