Republic of Atlantis

A country on the server, controlled by KingJellyfishII

## Information

Atlantis is a nation comprising of the borders of the real life nation of Greece. The country has seen centralised growth in and around the capital, Jamestown, as different housing designs, schemes and commercial spaces have been tested across the city. Due to the country's mountainous geography, large cities are very uncommon. Instead, smaller pockets of towns and villages cover the countryside.

The country is currently a member of the Adriatic Union.

## Transportation

Transportation across the Republic of Atlantis is performed solely by road. The country has no rail network and only one international and no domestic airports, which rules out rail and air transport. Boats are occasionally used along coastal regions, as they tend to be more direct than the road network, but roads are the sole way for transporting bulk across the nation.

The countries road network is sub-par, but this is largely due to the mountainous terrain within the nation hindering progress. The country relies on solely single-carriageway roads, which are either designated as trunk roads, indicated by the white line at the side and a higher speed limit, or as regional roads, with a lower speed limit and no sideline. There are no dual carriageways, expressways or highways in Atlantis. The main north-south route in the country comprises of the **A1** and **A2**, which links Athens to the A3 via Jamestown. The main east-west route in the country is the **A3**, which runs from the south-west, up to the Northern border, and along towards Thessaloniki.

## Economy

### Mining

Before the ban, Atlantis's main economy came from mining. Large ore deposits can be found in the mountains near Jamestown and multiple underground quarries are used to mine for these resources. This takes a lot of energy, however, which can cause issues in the city: Residents often report frequent, if short, blackouts during peak mining activity.

A mining director has been appointed by the government to make sure all future mining operations are safe and do not cause disruption in the country.

After the ban on mining, Atlantis is phasing out all mining operations, with the new focus being manufacturing and farming. Farms are planned to be built in the high plainsnear Kastoria.

### Research and Development

Atlantis is the research hub for many new technologies, including experimental aeroplanes, power stations, and even nuclear reactors. So far, the Experimental High Power Biogas Reactor (EHPBR) has been designed in Jamestown and has sold one unit, currently installed in Adamstown, Illyria.

### Aeroplane Manufacture

Atlantis also has the only factory manufacturing aeroplanes, and thus has a monopoly on the market

## Politics

Atlantis is a democratic republic, and as such a party is appointed each month by popular vote. I know fuck all about politics don't @ me.

## Plans & Future

Two new cities are planned to be built, one in Athens and one in Patras. Additionally, road works are ongoing, with new routes planned.

Jamestown has plans to have increased high-rise housing and civilian services built. Shops, police stations, fire stations and hospitals will all be built in the space cleared of low-rise buildings. A port is planned south of Jamestown Airport and rail networks leading to it will be built.
