1. I like that you brought Coral back I always liked her design, the idea to have the former students also studying together in the conservatory who are all going to be important players in Atlantean Royalty for some reason I can't help but ask does this have a basis in our actual history, or is the Conservatory just the best school of sorcery where the elite go.
2. So how does the politics of Atlantis work, like are there only eight cities that constitute Atlantis which from my understanding are Poseidonis, Crastinus, Nanauve, Tritonis, Lemuria, Neptunos, Shayeris, and Xebel. And since all of these cities are so far from each other they might as well be separate Kingdoms, so how does this system of governance work. Like do these eight states have separate laws, or is Atlantis more like an European Union. basically what I am asking is how do they actually connect with each other if they are well so far apart and why are then they even part of a single Kingdom.
3. Do these eight states also have different means of electing leaders of their respective states because Nanauve is represented by a King while Lemuria has a Prime Minister and Tritonis has a General are all these elected democratically or is there a monarchy and separate cities too which ensures they all get seats as rulers or are their elections.
4. Now here for me things are getting more complicated but correct me if I am wrong, Orin is the King of Atlantis which is something he inherited from his family bloodline not by an election, which is why Orm is the Prince. So is the King of Poseidonis automatically also the King of Atlantis since Poseidonis is the capital of Atlantis or are their elections for this.
5. Does Orin actually have powers as King of Atlantis or are those power only ceremonial and he only has the ability to actually excersise his rule in Poseidonis only since you have previously said Atlantis is a Constitutional Monarchy.

Greg I will be very honest I like history and I love alternate history, I personally love the world building you have done and honestly would have no problems storming the WB headquarters or wherever you are supposed to storm off to demand an Altantis Spinoff, but not having like a proper map aside from the subtle one that we saw in Episode 14, the more I think about Atlantis Politics the more headaches I have since it's impossible to exactly understand what's going on with the Politics and I can also understand your limitation with so many arcs and so many characters. Hopefully one day you will release the history of Atlantis book or just share an image detailing the history of Atlantis. But for now I will be content with a season 5 announcement for which I am hoping so badly.
