=== Overview ===
'''Atolia Island''' is a small hamlet off the coast of [[Wahat Almarjan]] and the continent of Prospit. The town was founded by [[PixelPaladin96]] on the night of July 15th, 2021. It has experienced slow but steady growth over the few weeks since it's establishment; a quaint and pretty town having covered the island completely. It is a very small island, just a little bigger than 130 x 130. Due to this limitation of space a lot of their buildings take advantage of height and underground portions to get the most use out of their limited land space. The biggestbest example of this would be the [[Tower of Atolia]] on the southernmost part of the island. It spans well over a hundred blocks in height, with a build design allowing for additional floors to be constructed onto the tower when needed. The building style of the island is mainly stone brick and spruce wood; although they have started using a fair amount of wool as well.
=== Tower of Atolia ===
They have a small general store on the island and welcome anyone who wants to browse.

=== Residents and Government ===
The town currently has four residents;: PixelPaladin96, [[Zilla420]], [[Randomnoob63]], and [[TheArckaneMage]]. PixelPaladin96 is the founder and the main diplomat of the island;. heHe doesn't give orders or control much anything on the island, and everyone is free to do what they wish as long as they abide by the ideals of Atolia. Zilla and Randomnoob tend to be excellent miners and resource gatherers, while Pixel and TheArckaneMage are the main architects of the island. Their government consists of every member of Atolia in the form of a council. For important issues everyone convenes together, and everyone has an opportunity to have their voice heard. Currently, a majority vote is needed to proceed with a decision. Pixel does not gain any additional voting power as the founder of Atolia, and everyone's voice is heard equally.

They are pacifists by nature;, and it would take a lot to get them to join a war that isn't a defensive one. They currently have a defensive and religious treaty with the [[Arcadian Altanate]], leading to closer ties between the two towns along with an infrastructure project to connect theirthe two towns.
=== Religion ===
Their religion has ties to the sun and the moon;, but also holding religious significance for all Atolians. They commonly believe the sun/day is a time for growth, exploration, and harvest. The moon/night is a time of rejuvenation, contemplation, and rest. During the day it's common to see Atolians out and about in Alathra or on the island itself. At night most tend to stay inside working on more sheltered projects, or sleeping in a bed. The belief of Karmakarma is also an important part of their religion;, commonly influencing a lot of their choices. They follow a belief that if you do good, good things happen. And if you do bad things, bad things happen. So they tend to be very friendly and kind to anyone who stumbles across their small hamlet.
Due to their good relations with the Arcadian Altanate and general curiousity they have learned much about the holy Mufijo faith, and have found that it has many similarities with their own. Pixel is still working on a complete scripture of their own faith, but it will likely have influence from their nearby allies.
