Athar

Athar is a small but fairly busy region located in a commercial Mecca somewhere between Earth and Jupiter. This does not necessarily mean that it is located on the planet Mars, although its land is lit by two moons. Set in a kind of alternate reality, Athar is located primarily on islands in a water-based sea; on the main subcontinent the only nations are Czardas, Ouranberg, and Dionica. The region is currently very small and looking for members, so if anyone wants to join, all you have to do is move to the region. Its aim is to become a haven in the turbulent sea of NationStates. This region is future-tech/fantasy-based; however, anyone at all can come. This page will be updated regularly.

Current members include:

• Czardas and puppets (incl. Steel and Fire)
• Neo Kervoskia
• Dionica
• Suliath
• Milk yogurt and cheese
• Ouranberg
• Iraq aka Afghanistan

A brief history of Athar

In-game

Athar was created by nations leaving the region of Cosmos, which had gone inactive following the closure of its regional forum. Czardas, Neo Kervoskia, and Dionica were the founding members of the region; they were later joined by a fourth member, Ouranberg, who was elected regional delegate. Athar is currently in an alliance with the region Loamhedge.

Historical

The first nation in Athar was the Commonwealth of Czardas (today the Concordance), created around 1300 when it was granted independence from France after a long civil war. Around the same time, a Greco-Germanic colony on the northeastern coast called Dionica sought independence, which was granted several years later; after an alliance between these two nations was established, the Duchy of Ouranberg, founded originally by Germanic tribes who had settled down east of Czardas, finally emerged as a strong power and sought an alliance with Czardas and Dionica. The three nations branched apart in the later 1800s, but in recent years have come back into an alliance.

No one actually knows very much about how Neo Kervoskia actually came to Athar, or if it even exists; however, the general consensus is that it is there and has always been. Likewise, the dairy-producing nation of Milk yogurt and cheese also appears to have been created around the same time, and nobody is quite sure where in Athar it's located.
