Atlas

Government

Atlas operates mostly autonomously with its own government as a city state like all the major cities on Patriam do. Atlas is the name of the city, but there's also the Atlas region which falls under the jurisdiction of atlas. The Atlas region contains about 25% of Atlas's population in towns, villages, and farms in the area around Atlas.

Defences

Atlas, like most major cities has a wall surrounding it, which in recent years has presented a housing crisis, which is just now being addressed. Atlas also has a militia of about 2,500 strong.

Industry & Trade

Atlas's main export is culture. Along with architecture, Atlas is also a hub of music. After the electric amplifier, new avant-garde music and instruments have been developed in Atlas and prominent Atlean musicians are played even on the far eastern coast. It’s most valuable exports are the inventions it produces. Atlas is the largest supplier of Radios and amplifiers of all varieties.

Infrastructure

Atlas’s infrastructure is largely defined by its port and its villas. The market and residential districts each have a large circular villa. Atlas has also begin to adopt a vertical mixed used plan where residential sits above business. This came in direct response to a housing crisis, and is becoming part of the new wave of architectural development, lead by Alyssa Eirheart, consul of Atlas. Much of the art focus in Atlas is on architecture, as part of a long cultural tradition. The port district wraps around the Atlas bay and has boats to ferry people across the bay, and large ships to export goods.

Assets

Atlas’s most valuable asset is in its people. The advancements in science and practical architecture made by the people of Atlas are the defining features of the city.

History

Historians suspect that Atlas was once the capital of Patriam, but after the Dying Of The Lost Era, the capital was re-established in Sol City.

Geography

The city of Atlas is on a hill overlooking a bay. The metropolitan area wraps around the bay and spreads out from the walls into the plains and woodlands. The Atlas region covers an area along the coast dominated by rolling hills, grasslands, and forests.
