This nation is the dominant power in the Earth Alliance, and the creator of the Archangel and the prototype Gundams. Before the war, the Atlantic Federation was the most influential of the sponsor nations which funded the construction of the PLANTs and then forced their Coordinator inhabitants into economic bondage. When the leadership of the United Nations was wiped out by a terror attack at the lunar city of Copernicus, the Atlantic Federation took the lead in organizing the Earth Alliance and issuing a declaration of war against the PLANTs.
