= Neo Atlantis = Neo Atlantis is an underground country consisting of above ground territories and a main underground metropolis. The city of Atlantis was only taken underground after the Cataclysm which would have destroyed the city if not moved underground. The city of Atlantis was only renamed to Neo Atlantis when it was moved underground. With an approximate size of 1.12 square kilometers total it is the largest underground country. Its only connection to the above ground world is through a main shaft leading up through the sea to what used to be Italy but is now Eastshore. The Country of Neo Atlantis has five above ground cities under its control; Eastshore, Woodshade, Fallmerrow, Janden and Ostholt. It is the only country to consist of both species humans and mermidians.

Aboriginals
The Mermidians of the land of Atlantis were an advanced race with an outstanding civilization and very advanced technology. They had lived there for tens of thousands of years before the settlement of land nearby by the similar human race. They lived in harmony for thousands of years and worked together for mutual benefits. The Mermidians lived in the Eastern Europe area (Germany, Poland, Spain…) where they were always close to the sea to keep themselves safe from any attacks from rogues.

Joint of Species
The humans live in the above ground cities while the mermidians live underground in the metropolis. At first it was a fair life to both species with a mix of both in the smaller towns and the largest city Atlantis. The mermidians and humans worked together for hundreds of years before the cataclysm. During this time of peace the country of Atlantis was a liberal-democratic country with social democratic economic views. After approximately 200 years the amount of resources used to sustain this lifestyle ran out and the country was forced to turn into a capitalistic economy. This caused a divide in the two species and the mermidians became more wealthy and lived int he city of Atlantis while the humans were forced to move to the poorer five surrounding cities.

Separation of Species
After over a century of ruling the capital, the Mermidians were had become quite wealthy and were living a lavish lifestyle while the humans were stuck almost enslaved working for them from the outer cities. The Mermidians had greatly advanced their technology while the humans were still stuck with the exact same technology as the previous century.

Expansion and Cataclysm
The city of Atlantis was prospering to new grounds under the control of Stefphan Bob Johannson, the Head of Council for Economic Sustainability, and kept the city of Atlantis in amazing wealth. The city expanded to fit the new companies appearing there.

The cataclysm that sunk Atlantis was foreseen by the Atlantians who had the technology to predict the rising of the sea so they installed a forcefield large enough to protect just the city. Stefphan Bob Johannson gave immense amounts of money to the smaller cities for their provisions so that the city could survive underwater for as long as possible. The city of Atlantis had sunk but they still had a connection with the above ground world through a single shaft going up. The Mermidians would occasionally send to take humans from the above ground world to come and work for them. They showed the underwater city of Atlantis to be a place of wonder and encouraged humans to want to go down there to work for them. Stefphan Bob Johannson decided that in order to keep the city alive that he needed to switch to a socialist authoritarian leadership where he would take control and redistribute the wealth and provisions properly to both the humans and the Mermidians. After the switch to authoritarianism Stefphan Bob Johannson decided that Atlantis wasn't representative of the country any more and the name had to be changed to Neo Atlantis.

This was propaganda because the humans were being brought down purely as a work force and were just being kept alive.

All Mermidians were given priority to food and resources above humans.

Geography
