Ataropolis lies on and around an island in the middle of a bay and estuary that connects the main continent to the large Calistrian peninsula. Its territory includes most of the shoreline around this body of water. The bay has two narrow mouths and is fed by almost 150 rivers and streams which creates an estuary. The the influx of nutrients from the rivers creates an extremely productive environment for marine wildlife and plants. The estuary also provides access to many rivers which flow for hundreds of miles inland and lies on a major ocean going trade route. The bay is wide and shallow. The average depth of the bay is about 20 feet, while 25% of its area is less than 7 feet deep.

Ataropolis is bordered by several other nations that control territory inland along the major tributary rivers. To the southwest, is the human kingdom of Mirack. To the northwest lies the elf kingdom of Calistria. Out west towards the open ocean, beyond the continental shelf lies a nation of Abyssal Merfolk called the Barony of Dagobus.
