With its numerous islands, Atiland has nearly 34,000 miles of tidal shoreline. The island chain extending west from the southern tip of Atiland is called the Borea Islands. Many active volcanoes are found in the islands. For example, Justine Island is home to Mount Shishn, a moderately active volcano that rises to 9,980 feet above sea level. The chain of volcanoes extends to Mount Tehrot, west of Lostwich.

The landscape is covered mostly by coniferous taiga forests and fens, with little cultivated land. Of the total area 10% is lakes, rivers and ponds, and 78% forest. The forest consists of pine, spruce, birch, and other species.Atiland is the largest producer of wood in Borea. The most common type of rock is granite. It is a ubiquitous part of the scenery, visible wherever there is no soil cover. Moraine or till is the most common type of soil, covered by a thin layer of humus of biological origin. Podzol profile development is seen in most forest soils except where drainage is poor. Gleysols and peat bogs occupy poorly drained areas.

Atiland can be subdivided into three ecoregions: the Atilans taiga, Sarmatic mixed forests, and Atiland Montane Birch forest and grasslands. Taiga covers most of Atiland from northern regions of southern provinces to the north. On the southwestern coast, forests are characterized by mixed forests.In the extreme north of Atiland, near the tree line and Arctic Ocean, Montane Birch forests are common.

== Politics ==
Atiland is a presidential republic with Queen Naomi II being the Queen. The head of state and of the government is elected by a process of universal suffrage for a four-year term. Executive power is exercised by the government with legislative power vested in the House of Representatives whilst the Judiciary is independent of both the executive and the legislature.

The 1980 Constitution provided for a presidential system of government with independent executive, legislative and judicial branches as well as a complex system of checks and balances including a weighted power-sharing ratio designed to protect the interests of the Latian Atians. The executive was led by a Kuthern Atian president and a Klizoun Atian vice-president elected by their respective communities for four-year terms and each possessing a right of veto over certain types of legislation and executive decisions. Legislative power rested on the House of Representatives who were also elected on the basis of separate voters' rolls.

The Latian Atian subsequently declared themselves an Autonomous state in 1983 as the Kliozun Republic of West Atiland.

=== Exclaves ===
Atiland has three exclaves, all in territory that belongs to the MBE Sovereign Base Area Ituka. The first two are the villages of '''Cantanchal''' and '''Torón'''. The third is the '''Louveza''' Nuclear Power Station, which is divided by a MBE road into two parts.

=== Law, justice and human rights ===
The Atiland Police is the only National Police Service of the Republic of Cyprus and is under the Department of Justice since 2001.

During peacetime, the Department of Defense employs around 79,000 in total. The main military branches employ almost 120,000: [[Royal Atiland Airforce]], [[Royal Atiland Navy]] and [[Atiland Army]].

== Economy ==
Atiland has a mixed economy ranking, and experiencing a relatively low level of income disparity. The country's average household disposable income per capita is "well above" the OCD average.

Since the early 20th century, the growth of Atiland manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has transformed the nation from a largely rural economy to an urbanized, industrial one. Like many other developed countries, the Atiland economy is dominated by the service industry, which employs about three-quarters of the country's workforce. However, Atiland is unusual among developed countries in the importance of its primary sector, in which the forestry and petroleum industries are two of the most prominent components.

Atiland possesses vast offshore deposits of natural gas, and also hosts large oil and gas resources. The vastness of the Imbuka oil sands and other assets results in Atiland having a high percent share of global oil reserves. Atiland Department of Natural Resources provides statistics regarding its major exports; the country is a leading exporter of zinc, uranium, gold, nickel, platinoids, aluminum, steel, iron ore, coking coal, lead, copper, molybdenum, cobalt, and cadmium. Many towns in northern Atiland, where agriculture is difficult, are sustainable because of nearby mines or sources of timber.

Because of the heavy influx of tourists and foreign investors, the property rental market in Atiland has grown in recent year. Following the war with Kuthernburg and succession of of land, the Atiland Town Planning Department announced a series of incentives to stimulate the property market and increase the number of property developments in the country's town centers. This followed earlier measures to quickly give immigration permits to third country nationals investing in Atiland property.

=== Transport ===
Available modes of transport are by road, sea and air. Atiland is the only Kuthern Commonwealth nations in which vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road, a remnant of Morst colonization. A series of motorways runs along the coast from '''Ialypagou''' east to '''Guidotina''', with two motorways running inland to '''Ovanhos''', one from '''Márín''' and one from '''Alzidrid'''.
