Politics of Atlas[]
The main politics of Atlas revolve around 3 great powers- the ACT, KOS, and FR. Each of these major powers have a very strong militaristic and political presence on the server, and currently they all show mutual animosity to each other, due to disagreeing in key political factors. The largest of these factors revolve around the fact KOS and FR both raid and kill innocent players at whim, while the ACT is much more strict about these factors.
Major Powers[]
The following are alliances and nations in Santoria that can greatly change the course of history singlehandedly.
ACT[]
ACT (Atlas Coalition Treaty) is a large multi-nation alliance currently encompassing UFN, Nameel, Terra Sancta, Northstar, AUTM, Uskau-Rynnia, Phoenix Commune, and Elysia. As stated by its founder, PixelPotat, ACT is:
The ACT is an alliance stretching over the far lands of Atlas, originally founded by the nations of the UFN, Nameel, Terra Sancta, and North Star. It is not just an ordinary alliance, but a beacon of hope, forged by its creators to protect everything they hold dear. Its members will stand resolute against the threats and attacks made by their foes, and they will also cooperate even further, to the benefit of all.
Long live the ACT!
ACT currently includes 92 lands. It is, arguably, the most pacifist out of all the major alliances/powers of Atlas, but they also have a respectable military with several skilled pvpers.
