The Commonwealth of Aquatania was an Eldhamite nation located in Phoros.

Early history
The Commonwealth of Aquatania was formally established in the Fall of 62 TE, yet several Imperial Eleanorian documents date the existence of the state dating back from the. Furthermore, several other historical evidences refer to the nation as "Kingdom of Aquatania", although the majority of Imperial Eleanorian documents call it Commonwealth of Aquatania. The Commonwealth of Aquatania was founded by the Myers Household, one of the smaller families within the ancient civilization of Eleanor. Being one of the last surviving houses during the collapse of the ancient civilization of Eleanor, their ancestors fled north, past the local deserts, and settled their new home on an isolated region.

The Myers were often credited as a family who consumed others, as they centralize other wandering families into theirs. As the Myers grew in size, they established a hierarchy, classism, government and pillars detailing what rules to follow. This structure eventually became the cornerstone for their rise to power and prominence. As they grew to encompass multiple cities, the Myers founded the Commonwealth of Aquatania, a nation based on the ideas trade and sea faring, guided by their god Oro and reminscent of Te Iwi Moana, the ancestors of the Myers, known as Sea People in Traveler's Tongue.

Founding of Wolokia
In the Summer of 40 TE, Myers and Moloko founded Wolokia, translating to "settlement by blue seas" in Traveler's Tongue, as the capital and central administration of the nation-state. Moreover, it was declared that Kushina of House Myers, be officially recognized as the Aquatania's first monarch. However, the title is contested by some documents from neighbouring nations, as Kushini of House Myers used the title "Head of State" instead of "King", which may have been lost in translation.

Feud with the Weshire
While Aquatania formed with their claim on an entire island. However, due to the nation's rapid development it expanded inland, claiming the forestry and settling on the neighbouring coastlines.

In, Aquatania's claim of the entire southern region of Phoros outside of Wolfinburg pensiula started a minor feud with Weshire, as they also staked a claim through the use of a hut with a wooden sign. Tensions quickly cooled and Aquatania managed to gain the contested territory through negotiations.

Aquatanian-Wolfinburg Commonwealth
In the, the Commonwealth of Aquatania, lead by the House of Myers, got into contact with the House of Adalwolf, another house descending form the ancient cilization of Eleanor controlling the Wolfinburg pensiula. Putting aside ther differences, the Wolfins and Sea People's leadership formed a union through marriage. From that day onwards, they would be known as the Aquitania-Wolfinburg Commonwealth which later became the First Kingdom of Eleanor.

Religion
Most inhabitants of Aquatanian followed a folk religion dedicated to the deity Oro. Little is truly known about Oro since information about the deity was contained in traditional oral folktals. "The God-Deity Oro created man from a collection of sand and clay, to create people. He bestowed upon his new creation the sea. Te Iwi Moana, or the Sea People, were the first to discover land, and to settle land. All other people followed suit. If The God-Diety was to starve to death, he would fall from the heavens and impact the oceans, causing tsunamis that would destroy all life across the planet. To combat this, Oro is to be served dried kelp and raw or cooked fish. The standard custom is 10 dried kelp and 1 cooked fish per week."
