The Atlantic Territories is a region of the Resurgent Dream consisting of the eight island principalities in the Atlantic Ocrean which are not part of Mists. The Atlantic Territories have no greater cultural affinity to one another than they do to the rest of the Resurgent Dream and are largely grouped together simply because they cannot easily be classified as belonging to any other regions of the Resurgent Dream. Because they are spread out over the Atlantic Ocean and because they are connected to one another and the rest of the country through trade routes which must be protected, the Atlantic Territories require far greater defense expenditures than any other part of the Resurgent Dream.
Geography
The Atlantic Territories consist of the islands of Kar, Kadoki, Legon, Nerise, Sanero, Saraben, Wyrnsk and Zeng, all located in the Northern Hemisphere. The official Danaan census officially subdivides the Atlantic Territories into three smaller divisions:
- The Northern Atlantic Territories: Kadoki and Wyrnsk
- The Middle Atlantic Territories: Kadoki, Nerise and Sanero
- The Southern Atlantic Territories: Kar, Legon, Saraben and Zeng
Some cultural anthropologists identify the different Atlantic Territories according to predominant heritage groups. According to this classification, the Atlantic Territories are divided into four divisions:
- Arabic Atlantic Territories: Kar
- Asian Atlantic Territories: Kadoki, Legon and Zeng
- European Atlantic Territories: Nerise, Sanero and Wyrnsk
- Non-human Atlantic Territories: Saraben
Biologically, the Atlantic Territories are very diverse, encompassing all of the Earth's major climes except for the Artic. However, as islands, they all have ecosystems connected closely with the ocean. They abound in species of fish which divide their life-cycles between fresh and salt water, in amphibians and in sea birds.
