Aquatos

The Technocracy of Aquatos, or simply Aquatos, is a nation, located in the region of Phoros on the continent of Eldham. Aquatos is a small nation, with a population of 28 spread over the area of around 250 000 m2.

The Aquatosian People
The Aquatosian nation exists a long time, we have been in hiding for over an century due to the amount of warmongering nations in the past. The first and greatest centre of the Aquatosian culture was Blackwater city, which had been built 300 years ago, in the oceans of Eldham but has been destroyed around 150 years ago.

Location of Blackwater City is unknown, even today, decades after it's destruction. My parents didn't want to tell much about it. It was the most pristine and developed city of all Eldham.

Founding and early expansion
The Aquatosian people settled on land we now call Pokitaru, then owned by Regnum Drakaes, and later by the city of Kei. Not long after, on 20th of July, Pokitaru peacefully bought its independence for $7.5k and declared The Technocracy of Aquatos on 27th of July 2021.

The Advisory Council of Aquatos and the leader of Kei, came to an agreement to unite into one nation, thus signing a document on 6th of August, turning Kei into an aquati of Aquatos.

The Taerni-Aquatosian solution
People of Taernsbia have violated Aquatos' territorial integrity and sovereignty by illegaly mining in our lands, resulting in massive damage to the Aquatos' mineral reserves.

The "misunderstanding" was resolved by:


 * Monetary compensation of $101k




 * Land transfer (as visible on the image on the right)


 * Punishment to the perpetrators

This agreement was signed on the 15th of August 2021.

Aquatos has been a member of Vircon since 8th of October 2021.

Government and Politics
Aquatos is a Technocracy. This means that they use a system of government in which a decision-maker or makers are elected by the population or appointed on the basis of their expertise in a given area of responsibility, particularly with regard to scientific or technical knowledge. Due to their ecological vision. They have concerns for environmental protection and improvement of the health of the environment, particularly as the measure for this health seeks to incorporate the impact of changes to the environment on humans, animals, plants and non-living matter. And because they are very peaceful in nature they always try to resolve problems in other means than war or other hostile acts.
