New Island found off West Ireland

[Olly]

Read this just now. Amazing discovery.



The Dominion of Atlantia is an island nation around 200 or so miles off the West coast of Ireland. It straddles the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The country geographically is very much like the United Kingdom though denser - larger forests, higher mountain ranges glacial lakes and several extinct volcanoes.
Atlantia has a thriving economy and is saturated in natural resources. It's main exports to the rest of the world include; Coal, Peat, Meats, Copper, Tin, Timber and Ironstone.
The nation is kept switched on by a mix of power sources which include several nuclear and geothermal power-stations as well as the ubiquitous coal and hydro-electric power-stations. There is a distinct lack of the inefficient wind turbines which scar and litter the landscape of the United Kingdom.
The major religions within the country are Christianity and Judaism, the majority of inhabitants live in the coastal regions although there are several major cities further into the interior.
Atlantia is member of the commonwealth of nations and is a Dominion of the United Kingdom, however with increasing defence cuts and shrinkages Atlantia is forever more providing Defence coverage to the United Kingdom under an agreement with the UK government in the South Atlantic and Middle East.
