Amazon Kingdom
Capital: Blazir Village Government: Confederate Hereditary Absolute Monarchy Head of State: High Matriarch Head of Government: High Matriarch Legislature: None Demonym: Amazoni Currency: Shells

The Amazon Kingdom, also known as Enecim in most Maritiman Languages and commonly, is an archipelagic nation located in the center of Maritimus, occupying what's known as the Enecim Islands, and is the homeland of the warrior all-female Amazon People. Several villages of various sizes exist scattered around the islands. It shares maritime borders with no one.

Since they are a single gender people, and men are forbidden on the island, they perfected a spiritual ritual to become pregnant. Though they are an inward looking people that mostly turns a blind eye from the conflicts of the rest of the world, some choose to reject the pregnancy ritual to leave the island in search of husbands. Those who make this choice usually come back to give birth, but a few choose to never return. This isolationist attitude is not without dangers, as it makes those who stray too far from the villages easy picking for slave traders.

Atlantis is an island nation in central Maritimus, taking up the whole of the island subcontinent of the same name, and the many islands surrounding it. It shares maritime borders with Cnidaria to the northwest, Bivalvia to the west, and Sahul to the northeast.

One of the oldest continuous nations on Patria, Atlantis, like Xotil, is also the site of where a strange craft made of stone and metal crashed into the earth. It is presumed to be the same sort that crashed in Necrosia; but this one crashed at least a thousand years earlier. The Atlantians of the time since salvaged the strange technology and used it to make their homeland prosper, and became the first nation, until Xotil, to master flight without magic or beast-riding.

Unlike Xotil, Atlantis had no interest in expanding beyond their island's borders, and so stopped using the salvaged technology for conquest once Atlantis achieved dominance over the Atlantian homeland and surrounding islands; regardless, Atlantis has still been known to resort to war and invasion to achieve demands or repel threats.

Insulae Calvariae
Insulae Calvariae is a pair of skull-shaped islands in the middle of Maritimus, halfway between the Dragon Archipelago and the Wildlands Archipelago. It is, by a mutual unwritten agreement between nations, neutral ground. In exploitation of this, pirates have made it a haven for hiding out and the island has long been feared to house the souls of the dead that never passed from the world. Other myths say that these islands house the tomb of the original seven Lunaculi, thus making it their final resting place. But this has yet to be proven either fact or fiction as no one, not even the pirates that use the island, has ever ventured into the bowels of the island for thousands of years.
