Atopolis

Atopolis is a city in Tortuga, and the capital of the Region of Ato on the continent of Sørligste. It was founded on July the 16th, 2021, by Shark016. As of 8/30/2021, the city has 60 citizens. The town runs on a semi-democratic governmental system with a permanent Mayor. It is the Capital of the Pirate Republic of Ato, and was the capital of the Atoan Republic. 
In the same vein that someone from Ato is considered "Atoan", someone from Atopolis is considered "Atopolonian". 
== History ==
=== Founding and Incorporation into Tortuga ===
After founding Atopolis, Shark immediately began to invite people to his home. They explored the surrounding area. Shark knew that his town was a squatting town, and worked to ensure the continued independence of his town. He spoke to neighboring towns and tried to get a revolution going. He even attempted to get Theios-Essukdal on side, but a 'rogue council member' turned him in to the Tortugans. SexyCanadian, the Pirate King teleported to Atopolis on the evening of July the 20th, and informed the people and Shark that they would have to join Tortuga or be forcibly removed from their home. After much debate, Shark agreed to his terms. Atopolis would become a Tortugan city. 
=== A Knock-Out Democracy ===
The first elections took place on July 21/22 for Vice Mayor and Treasurer. Makkis Pekkis tied with Jah 7-7. The election was decided with a no-armor best 2 out of 3 boxing match in a 7x7 ring. Foreigners came to watch the spectacle. In the end, MakkisPekkis won, and was named Vice Mayor of the city of Atopolis. The race for Treasurer was between maloneyzach438 and TinyTim. Maloneyzach438 won that election 7-5, and was named Treasurer of Atopolis. 
=== The Red Turban Incident ===
On July the 21st, Shark received a message from one Mat asking if he wanted his freedom along with a discord invite. He joined to find out it was a revolutionary discord against Tortuga called the Red Turban Rebellion. The revolutionaries began to make plans for their revolt, but were betrayed to Sexy by Adilol, another member of the revolution. Sexy posted a list of revolutionary towns that were to be destroyed on the 22nd during the Treasurer elections. Atopolis was on that list. Shark016, MakkisPekkis, and maloneyzach438 worked to mend the relationship with Tortuga. MakkisPekkis talked SexyCanadian out of murdering both he and Shark, Maloneyzach438 discussed trading resources with him(even though he hadn't yet actually won the election), and Shark also helped with the diplomacy of it all. To describe the Atopolonian Discord during these couple hours in one word would be pandemonium. The Atopolonians(and Shark himself) thought that this would be the end of Atopolis, but after the Red Turban Incident, ties with Tortuga had never been stronger. In fact, MakkisPekkis even negotiated with Sexy that when his term as Vice Mayor ran out, he would settle Windcliff Keep, a dilapidated Castle to the North of Atopolis on the Sea.
=== The Industrialization of Atopolis ===
After the Red Turban Incident, the Atopolonians set off working to produce goods to trade. They began to delegate jobs and set up systems to make money for the city. Maloneyzach438 began speaking with other cities about trade. 
=== Atopolis's Involvement in the Coalition War ===
Atopolis sent a total of 4 volunteers to the war to assist Tortugan Forces, (Shark, JaJa,Cxon,Makkis). Atopolis Volunteer Forces fought at The Battle of New Dorasterrock (Bardonian Capital) 
=== Tortugas Socialist "Movement" ===
Tortugas Socialist Movement was a remake of the Red Turban Rebellion, Adopting a Socialist Ideology over the old Communism Ideology. Shark had decided to work closely with TheSexyCanadian to inform Tortuga of the ongoings of the Movement. After learning the Movement had begun working with foreign powers and growing inside, Shark had decided the issue needed to be resolved, The timeline during this was when Bardonia and the Coalition had entered peace talks, so to avoid a fight between the Movement and Tortuga, he had convinced the Movement to move to Bardonia, and rebel there for a better shot at independence.
"Lmao ducking legend hahaha"

=== The Creation of a Region ===
For Atopolis assistance in the Coalition war and for dealing with the Tortugas Socialist Movement, Atopolis had asked for secession and a small plot of land to become a nation, Unfortunately Tortugan Captains had outvoted this 15-1, in Favor of Atopolis becoming a region, and thus the creation of Ato was begun. 
Atopolis had asked for the following towns to be added to it's region, due to close personal ties; Norvos, Windcliff, Elheinn, Thicchol, and Alderth Hold. Norvos had decided not to join the region effectively shutting out Atopolis claims to Thicchol and Windcliff in an attempt to avoid Bordergore. 
In addition to his new region, Shark was made a Captain in Tortuga
=== A New System ===
On August the 13th, 2021 the Regional Government of Ato was set up as a Constitutional Monarchy with town owners acting as a Parliament.
=== Reconstruction ===
After much consideration, Shark had decided that Atopolis was too crowded and needed a residential area for people to live in. In the beginning it was terraforming a lot of hills, and then it took weeks to construct the homes for the citizens. Once the area was complete all other buildings in Old Atopolis were destroyed, new roads were made and the area was flattened. Then the creation of new buildings took place, the Community Centre, School, Capitol, Courtroom, and many more.
=== The Great Mock War With Norvos ===
A mock war was held on August the 28th, 2021 against the town of Norvos, Atopolis won decisively.
