Atlantic Union

The Atlantic Union was a country located in North America. It was established in Multi Earth World following the unification of New York and Almondia. The country was the largest North American nation in terms of both land and population.

Electing a President
Originally, the founding members of the Union decided that every two weeks they would hold a presidential election to choose their next leader. Anyone could run for president and they could only be president twice in a row; after that, they would have had to wait another two weeks before they could run again.

Atlantic Senate
The Atlantic Union also formed a senate made up mostly of the former nation leaders, with the admission of any state governors to the senate. Senators are also picked with an election held within their home states every two weeks. Senators also act as their states' leader.

Prime Minister
Since pussilamous kept saying things like, "I AM THE MINISTER OF TOWNS & VILLAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", "I AM ALSO MINISTER OF INFRASTRUCTURE" and also "I’d like to say I am still minister of Floridian and New Yorker Infrastructure", President Almond decided to just make him the Prime Minister so he would stop declaring himself the minister of something every five minutes. The position was later abolished.

The Beginning
After the end of major nations like the United Territories, and the VFMC, their remnants started settling in North America, creating nations such as New York and Almondia. Later those nations made the Atlantic Pact, a mutual defense pact to protect each other if it was ever needed. After talking with the Council of New York, Pussilamous approached BigVinny24, of Almondia, and jpmaster, of the Sevalonic Federation, to see if they were interested in merging their nations. BigVinny agreed, while jpmaster gave them all his land before leaving to join the Red Empire. There would be a minor incident of miscommunication, where Eskija and Pussilamous looted the former capital of the Sevalonic Federation, upsetting jpmaster.

The next day, the Atlantic Union claimed the entirety of the State of Florida, and Vinland also agreed to join them.

Eventually, the nation of Skavenblight in eastern Mexico joined the Atlantic Union, leaving temporarily but rejoining after a short time.

Beginning on the ninth of December, the Atlantic Senate began drafting a constitution, to bring greater stability to the nation, with the ability to add to the constitution eventually being given to citizens as well.

Coalition Wars
The first Coalition War to take place during the Union's existence was the Antarctic one. Although every member of the Union disliked the Shamski gang and wanted them gone, they weren't willing to go so far as to join the Coalition and possibly get declared on. After a vote on the sixth of December, it was decided that the Atlantic Union would not get involved in the upcoming conflict.

BigVinny24's failed coup
On December 14th, after learning of BigVinny24's plan to overthrow the AU and establish the "New Vincentarian Order", the Prime Minister pussilamous unclaimed Almondia and exiled Vinny, putting an end to the planned revolt.

War against Gator Federation
On December 15th, Owning69, the leader of the Gator Federation, started making threats against the AU due to Skavenblight being a part of the Union. He said we would gather a horde and declare war on the Atlantic, and due to that the Senate decided to declare war on the Gator Federation preemptively. After winning, they annexed the Federation but unclaimed most of the land soon after.

Pussilamous Incident
Three days after the Gator War, on December 18th, an argument broke out in the Images channel of the Discord for the Atlantic Union. Pussilamous began deleting messages from other members of the Discord directing criticism and discontent towards him. In response, the decision was rapidly made to create a new Discord, as, since Pussilamous had created the old Discord for the Atlantic Union, there wasn't much that could be done to stop him. Pussilamous threatened to secede, and OrbitalEpsilon, the leader of Oscail, stated that if Pussilamous was kicked out of the Atlantic Union, he would join the union. In the end, the Discord was created by Eskija, the Vice President of the Atlantic Union, Pussilamous seceded, claiming his town in Florida and a small portion of Cuba, and OrbitalEpsilon, alongside his nation of Oscail, would join the Atlantic Union the next day. However, after getting ghostpinged and getting tired of arguing and having to listen to Eskija, Pussilamous handed his claimed territory back over to the Atlantic Union, specifically to Remy0806, and joined the nation of Hoeland.

Collapse
After Pussilamous left, Atlantic Union was quiet and activity died down. Eventually Florida left the union to join Hoeland. Further inactivity, and conflict with other large nations such as Hoeland and Holland, led to a decline of Atlantic authority and power. Florida leaving the union was also a contributor, as it contained some of the largest cities and most impressive architecture. Soon after, Vinland left as well, their leader deciding to not be part of a large nation. Most of the cities either contained inactive members or had been entirely abandoned, and with a potential war with European powers on the horizon, the remaining senators agreed that there was little chance of a revival. Although initially disagreeing over whether or not to dismantle the union by going to war with Hoeland or disbanding quietly, r0adk1lls, Straightfishie, and Eskija eventually agreed to dismantle the union without war. It was decided that Oscail would secede, with the other members rejoining the newly recreated nation, so as to better consolidate around one area. Eskija would, soon after the decision, disband the nation, joking that "staying in one place for too long was never a good thing". While most members would join Oscail, r0adk1lls and redmaples would make a new nation in Anatolia called 'Mytilene.' This would mark the end of the union.
