Atlantis

Atlantis (a.k.a. The Floating Nation, City of the Atlantic) is an urban independent Councilary Democracy. It was originally an oversea research facility, but it was sold to a wealthy man with large dreams. The city has no exact location, because it roams the Atlantic Ocean. Its current population is 38 Million people. It only moves once every season, in order to remain stable. The current lord is Segas Cummae, a member of the Neptune Party.

History
In 1983, the United States of America built a large sea platform, it was shaped as a circle and in the center stood a large citadel (currently called Trident District). The large expanse of metal was painted in two colors, gray and blue. In 1985, the United States sold it to a man named Segas Cummae, he then abolished the platform's designation as American and declared it an independent republic. This move outraged the United States government, and they sent a small task force to dispose of Cummae, and reclaim the platform. Cummae had already setup military contracts with a mercenary contractor and the platform was well defended. The U.S. then declared Cummae an enemy of the state, and threatend to destroy the platform via ship-to-coast bombardment. However, the United Nations said that this action was a violation of international law, because the platform was over international waters at the time. Therefore, the US recalled all of its units, and Atlantis was recognized by the United Nations. Cummae then setup trade routes with France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Ireland, and Belgium. He gave them silver from Atlantis's on board mining station in exchange for everyday nessecities. From 1986 to 1994, Atlantis grew slowly. During this time, Cummae built six smaller circle platforms that connected with the Trident District. These became the Seven Districts of Atlantis. Then in 1995, the Atlantean Motherboard (AM) was designed to keep records of the entire Earth. The AM control hex sits atop the Spire of Atlantis. In 1998, Atlantis became one of the most economic centers of Earth, the population was at 33 Million, and one Lord could not handle every single one. That is when the Council of Seven was formed to deal with the growing population. One Baron per District, and they are headed by the Lord of Atlantis.
