History

May 16,2007 - After testing out a Google search for the site,Legiondude revises the name to the United Republic of Atlantium to avoid confusion with a newspaper

May 19,2007 - Declaration of Independence is finished

May 20,2007 - Legiondude discovers the Empire of Atlantium is still active and wants to change the name once again,but with the constituion half done and the Declaration done and many more things bearing the name,Legiondude merely puts in a proclomation to avoid confusion

Government

If you know the governmental setup of the United States government,you basically know about Atlantean government.Yet there are some twists to it.

• a hierarchy of sorts assures that power can never lead to disasterous results with a President unfit for office moves in.As their status is below a Moderator,but above all others.For more,see the Hierarchy in the Atlantium National Archives
• Instead of leaving checks and balances on each other,the Administrators and the Moderators do so.

Why the Change in the System?

A certain president of the United States has proven to us that the current legislation is flawed.Atlantium wants to make sure such a happening never comes to the nation.That is why Administrators and Moderators are sent to make sure the integrity of the nation remains justified,but free.Therefore the abuse of power virtually never should come to any one person.

Administrators though might be thought of as that chance for that abuse.Yet it is not so.To reach moderator status you must prove to be an exceptionally hard working person and loyal to the nation.To reach Admin status,you must work even harder for that right.

Admins and Mods even lack political power(Unless the President is absent,then the current head admin takes temporary power;Head admins gain such position for being the most responsible) so any chance of having so much control of the government seems to be very rare
