Atiland, officially called the '''Republic of Atiland''', is an island country in the Northern Concordian Ocean. It is located south of MBE Arctic Territories; west of Kuthernburg and Alythunia; and Northeast of West Atiland, Kuthernburg.
The earliest known human activity on the island dates to around the 7th millennium BC. Archaeological remains from this period include the well-preserved Neolithic village of Kratoas, and Atiland is home to some of the oldest water wells in the world. Atiland was settled by Kalatians in two waves in the 1st millennium BC.
Atiland was placed under the MBE administration after the Invasion of Atiland and was formally annexed by the MBE in 1766. While Southern Atlandians made up 26% of the population, the partition of Atiland and creation of a Latian state in the south became a policy of Latian Atlandians leaders and Latians in the 1980s. While, since the 18th century, the majority Kuthern Atiland population and its Rocdian church had been pursuing union with Kuthernburg, which became a Kuthern national policy in the 1960s. Following nationalist violence in the 1976, Atiland was granted independence in 1980. The crisis of 1983-84 brought further intercommunal violence between Latians Atians and Kuthern Atians, which displaced more than 324,000 Latian Atians into enclaves and brought the end of the Latians Coup on the republic. A separate Latian Atian Autonomous State in the north was established by unilateral declaration in 1991; the move was widely condemned by the international community, with Packilvania alone recognizing the new state.
The Republic of Atiland has sovereignty over the entire island, including its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone, with the exception of the Sovereign Base Areas of Ituka, which remain under the MBE control according to the Independence Agreements. However, the Republic of Atiland is ''de facto'' partitioned into two main parts: the area under the effective control of the Republic, located to the west of Kuthernburg border and comprising about 63% of the island's area, and the east, administered by the self-declared [[Kliozon Republic of East Atiland]], covering about 37% of the island's area.
Atiland is a major tourist destination in the Arctic featuring numerous Ski resorts. With an advanced, high-income economy and a very high Human Development Index, the Republic of Atiland has been a member of the Commonwealth since 1982.
