Naboo is like a historical China/Japan or England/France rivalry, but then an outsider threatens both of them. They both had standing armies built around skirmishes with each other.

Wouldn't N1's ('big' for a projectile, fast) get through their shield to allow for interior bombing runs?

We live on land yet have navy, so them living in the ocean yet have land armies kinda makes sense.

They very clearly had a counter-attack plan. And expected Naboo to attack any time soon.

I think an N1 would be too fast to safely enter, bomb and leave without also running the risk of blowing yourself or having too low of an altitude to finish the dive.

That's like saying because the United States has a water-based army (a.k.a. a navy) that they are planning on invading Atlantis.

...actually wait, please don't give them any ideas. Forget I said anything.

Also the human Nabooans are colonists from coruscant, so the gungans might have been forced to live in underwater orbs the humans can't reach.

Wait, is that actually canon? Lots of other sci-fi franchises have in universe explanations for why there are humans everywhere. In Stargate for instance they were slaves that were taken everywhere in the galaxy. But I didn’t know there was an actual in universe reason in Star Wars.

Only from external, extended universe sources (RPG sourcebooks, etc).

According to The Phantom Menace film, Padme says there was never hostilities between Humans and Gungans when speaking with Boss Nass. Boss Nass does not refute this statement.

This sentiment was also reflected on starwars.com at the time of the movies release.

The 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battleground was originally going to have levels about a war between the Humans and the Gungans, but the creative team was informed directly by LucasFilm that no such war ever took place. So the developers changed it to a Gungan civil war instead.

It was not until many years later that new sources began to popup that contradicted the original claim that Humans and Gungans were always peaceful (except for one RPG sourcebook in 2000).

Do you have any idea how much oil there is in Atlantis?
