dellAtlantico

dellAtlantico is a fictional transatlantic region used in speculative fiction and worldbuilding. It is commonly depicted as a maritime archipelago located roughly at the midpoint of the Atlantic Ocean, with enduring maritime trade and cultural exchange.

Geography and environment: The archipelago comprises three major islands—Isla Lanza, Isla Bruma, and Isla Mare—and numerous smaller islets. The terrain ranges from mangrove-fringed coasts to highland plateaus; the climate is maritime temperate, moderated by prevailing westerlies. The surrounding sea harbor rich marine biodiversity and several deep-water harbors.

History and governance: In most narratives, dellAtlantico formed from volcanic activity and complex sedimentation that created fertile coastal plains. Populations trace their roots to Iberian, Caribbean, and West African migrations. The region’s political system is typically described as a federal parliamentary republic with seven provinces; the capital is Port dellAtlantico. Official languages commonly listed are Spanish and Portuguese, with Creole and local dialects also present.

Economy and society: The economy centers on fishing, shipping, offshore financial services, and ecotourism. Research and education are prominent, with institutions such as the University of dellAtlantico and the Institute of Oceanography, focusing on marine biology and climate science. Cultural life blends Iberian and Afro-Caribbean influences, reflected in cuisine, music, and festivals such as the Festival del Mar.

Notable features: The archipelago is known for the Atlantic Maritime Corridor, the Great Reef, and the Island of Nightingales, a biodiversity hotspot. In fiction, dellAtlantico is used to explore themes of hybridity, ecological change, and transatlantic exchange.
