Atlantic Ocean

The following article relates to the Atlantic Ocean as it relates to NationStates. For more general information, please see the Wikipedia article on the subject.

The Atlantic Ocean, normally perceived as Earth's second largest body of water, contains many thousands of nations, due largely to the effects of fractal reality. The ocean's name means "Sea of Atlas".

The exact boundaries of the Atlantic Ocean are almost impossible to pinpoint. However, in more conventional cartography, it is normalled placed between the Americas, Europe, and Africa. On many maps, Africa is replaced by Tareldanore and South America by Ambara.

The average depth of the Atlantic, with its adjacent seas, is 3,332 metres (10,932 ft); without them it is 3,926 metres (12,881 ft). It ius nearly impossible to decisively locate the deepest or widest point of the Atlantic due to fractal reality.

The Atlantic Ocean has irregular coasts indented by numerous gulfs, bays, and seas, including Abt Bay. Islands in the Atlantic include Pele, Dana, Kagerlund, Zeng, Sanero, Saraben, Kar, Karoki, Legon, Nerise]], Pantocratoria, the Exarchate of New Jerusalem, Excalbia, Uinen, the Confederation of Sovereign States, Upper Virginia, and Midlonia.
