    History of Rivalfiume | Istoria Fluviana
    History is currently under review. Reworking some stuff!
    "Rivalfiume", as mentioned in the overview, means "by the river". That's because the first civilizations that inhabited the Fluvian lands settled down along the many rivers that cross the country. There is evidence that nomadic peoples with a hunter-gatherer lifestyle lived within the borders of modern-day Rivalfiume, but the first records of stable human settlements are found on the country's coast, and date back to 2000-1900 BF. This date is often used to mark the start of the Fluvian Ancient Period (Fluvian: Lasso Antigo).
    The Fluvian Ancient Period: The First Civilizations and City-States
    The Fluvian Ancient Period is a long and mostly peaceful period of time, when city-states started to consolidate along the coast.
    These city-states were very different from the usual village: Compared to them, they were not only larger, but also organized differently.
    They were built near a river/near the sea and surrounded by solid walls and man-made creeks. Canals were created from the rivers, from which smaller and smaller secondary canals branched off, which carried water towards the inlands. Two prominent buildings could be seen outside of the walls: the “Palace”, a large house that was surrounded by a courtyard, and the “Temple”. These two buildings were the symbolic places of power and worship, and the heart of the city-states. Several “districts” were built around the city center, connected by various streets or pathways.
    The inhabitants of these large, bustling cities were very diverse:
    Craftsmen - who produced the various goods that the city exported, such as textiles, pottery, weapons and jewelry;
    Soldiers - who defended the city and protected its inhabitants from enemy invasions;
    Magistrates - who registered the quantity of goods produced and kept inside the city’s storehouses;
    Priests - who called upon the Ancient Gods, so that water kept flowing regularly and crops thrived;
    Farmers - who provided food for themselves and all of the city.
    Everything was coordinated by a Khu, who was the city monarch. The Khu established the criteria for the collection and redistribution of food, eventual changes to the city-state, when and who to declare war, with which peoples and cities to trade.
    The first notable city-states were the Khunate of Khamadj, the Khunate of Gaba and the Khunate of Vedh. These city-states were all independent, but practiced trading and other interactions. Eventually, the Khu’s powers extended further the city-state’s walls, often encompassing hundreds of villages and smaller cities along the coast. 
    The Khunate of Khamadj
    The Khunate of Khamadj was the northernmost Khunate. By ~1500 BF, it administered a territory that included around 80 villages and about 100’000 Inhabitants. Khamadj was an agricultural and commercial city-state: the climate permitted the production of cotton, grapes and many fruit trees, and the low-lying plains permitted the Khamadji to have sheep and cattle as livestock.(thus selling wool and leather). Further inland, following the course of the river, the Khamadji had access to wood, thanks to a nearby forest. Thanks to its strategic position, the city-state of Khamadj soon became an economic powerhouse, connecting the Fluvian Plains to outside trade, later defined as “one of the crossroads of Ancient Nur”.
    Khamadj’s wealth was well-known and desired by many despots, kings and khus of the region. During its history, Khamadj was often subject to raids and invasions from outsiders, who seeked to plunder the prosperous northern cities.
    The Khunate of Gaba [WIP]
    The Khunate of Gaba was positioned between the Khunate of Khamadj and the Khunate of Vedh. Maritime trade was the backbone of Gabaean economy: The biggest city sat on the mouth of river Ǧesi, one of the main routes that connected the Ancient Fluvian Civilizations to the outside world. The Gabaean city-state was governed with extreme efficiency, as documented by some ceramic tablets of the era. Gaba was also well-known for its agriculture: prized lemons, herbs and spices were grown all around the city-state.
    The Khunate of Vedh [WIP]
    The Khunate of Vedh was the southernmost Khunate and probably the latest to be established by ancient settlers. The Khunate was organized differently from the others: The urban centers had no outer walls and seemed to be built with a precise urban plan in mind - with long and wide paved roads.
    The origin of the Ancient Fluvian Civilizations
    Most historians agree that the ancient fluvian civilizations descended from a common ancestor. This thesis is further reinforced by the fact that these civilizations spoke similar languages and shared customs. The three ancient city-states spoke a common trading language later dubbed Gavekh (Gaban-Vedhian-Khamadji) which has been studied by linguists throughout history, believed to have influenced Modern Fluvian in one way or another.
    The role of Writing and Religion
    The Khus were considered the High Priests, the “Divine Coordinators”, as documented by ancient stelae: They could communicate with the Deities, and made sacrifices in their honor.
    They were believed to hold supernatural powers and to be “demi-gods” among humans. The Ancient Fluvian Civilizations asked themselves why there were years of good harvest or years of bad ones, why it sometimes rained, or why it was hot/cold outside, and so theorized the existence of supernatural beings, Deities, that controlled the weather, the seasons and nature.
    The presence of stelae proves that the ancient Fluvian civilizations had their own writing system, which has been thoroughly analyzed by historians. The earliest records found are from 1590 BF: a ceramic tablet from Akharran (a small village, probably under the sphere of influence of Gaba), detailing livestock counts.

    Extension of the Three Khunates, ~1700 BF
    Rising tension marks the end of the Fluvian Ancient Period
    As the City-States became bigger and more populated, tensions started to rise: the land area wasn't a lot, since cities tended to be near the coast, and so the City-States started to fight for the hegemony of the Fluvian Plains: This marked the end of the Early Ancient Period, which lasted around 500 years of mostly peace and prosperity.

    Republic of Sekiya
    Overview
    Overview
    The Republic of Sekiya is a country located in the south of Nur. It is one of the largest and most populated within Esferos, however due to a turbulent past, has struggled to modernize.

    Location within Nur (Dark Green), Members of the NCC (Light Green)
    Geography
    Location and Borders
    All of Sekiya's territory is located in South-Western Nur. It's sea borders are the Dahme Sea, Sekiyan Sea and Great Pacific to the west and it's land borders are Peourouin to the north, Ionia to the south-east and Rivalfiume to the south-west. The eastern border follows the Sylvanian mountain range, that historically has blocked armies from the east from entering Sekiya. A small gap in the mountains, named Höllentor, has been the sole entry into Sekiya through the mountains, and is historically one of the most guarded borders in the world, even today. Despite this, recent diplomatic efforts with Sekiya's eastern neighbour have led to the construction of a highway connecting the two countries. In the north, large areas of arid plains and steppe have made it difficult for large conflicts to occur and forests in the south have also protection.
    Sub-Divisions
     
    Sekiya has Primary, Secondary and Tertiary of sub-divisions. Following the 1370s government reorganization, all subdivisions were redrawn using cultural groups, historical borders & geography as a basis.
    Primary Subdivisions

     
    A map showing Republics, Federal Capital Zone & Autonomous Regions
    Federal Republics - The federal republics in Sekiya function as semi-autonomous entities within the country, each with its own government, constitution, and the authority to manage internal affairs, while contributing representatives to the federal system to address national-level matters. Federal Capital Zone - The Federal Capital Zone is not part of any of Sekiya's Republics to avoid the potential power gained from containing the nation's capital.  Autonomous Regions - An Autonomous Region is an area of Sekiya neither large enough or populated enough to warrant being a Federal Republic, however maintain their own Autonomy, similar to that of a Republic. Secondary Subdivisions

Whilst considered Astanan, many Australese citizens have begun to diversify into it's own culture. Dahmish - Dahmish is the second most prominent culture in Sekiya, and is native to the Dahme province. Pacifikan & Karlovan - Whilst these are both different cultures, they are both very similar.

    The Republican Military is the primary military force of Sekiya. The President of Sekiya holds the position of "Supreme Commander of the Republican Army", however all aspects of the Republican Military are managed by the Bureau for Strategic Defence. The Republican Military is comprised of the Republican Army, Republican Air Force, Republican Navy and Republican Special Forces, each of which have their own various roles.
    Sekiya's military expenses account for 7.8% of the government budget, up from 4.5% 10 years ago. This results in a total expenditure of 17 billion.
    The Republican Military is composed of 5 commands.
    Republican Army Republican Air Force Republican Navy Republican Special Forces Republican Guard Past
    Before the civil war, Sekiya had a very small central armed forces, based in Astana, that primarily consisted of specialized units and a significant portion of the Sekiya's air power. The majority of Sekiya's armed forces remained split into several paramilitaries based around the countries.
    The lack of control over these paramilitary units is ultimately what led to the start of the Second Sekiyan War.
    Republican Space Force
    Founded in 1389 to get Sekiya to space, it was disbanded in 1390, following the lack of budget to fund such a project.

    Rivalfiume is a Directorial Republic, which means that its Head of Government and Head of State is the Grand Directory (Fluvian: Gran Direttorio), a group of five (5) people elected by the Legislative Body (Fluvian: Korpo Leǧislativo), made of two parts: the Grand Council (Fluvian: Gran Kunsìlio), made up of 80 councillors, and the Elders Council (Fluvian: Kunsìlio deli Seniori), made up of 40 councillors. The Grand Directory holds the executive power, enforces law, and has the responsability of governance of the state. the Grand Council has the authority to make new laws, and the Elders Council has the authority of approving or revising the laws made by the latter. Other tasks of the Legislative Body include: The approval of treaties, the election of the Grand Directory and the determination of taxes. The Judicial System is delegated to courts and judges, which will apply the law in the name of the State. The court system is divided in three levels: the Supreme Court (Fluvian: Korte Suprema), and two lesser courts.

    The Legislative Body is in turn elected by the Electoral Assemblies (Fluvian: Assemblee Elettorali, also known as District Assemblies or Assemblee Distrettuali), and the Electoral Assemblies are elected directly by the people (any citizen who is at least 18 years old).

    The Directorial Republic of Rivalfiume (Fluvian: Repùbblika Direttoriale Fluvjana), also known colloquially as the Republic of Rivalfiume, the Fluvian Republic (Fluvian: Repùbblika Fluvjana) or simply Rivalfiume (Fluvian: Rivalfjume, pronounced ree-val-few-may), is a small, mountainous country located in southern Nur. Its name directly translates to "By the river". As of 1424, Rivalfiume is the only directorial republic in all of Esferos and one of the smallest and least populated countries in Nur. Its capital city and largest city, Grankastello (1423 Census: 411'763 inhabitants), was built on the coastal regions of Rivalfiume, where the terrain is lower and more fertile. Most of Rivalfiume's cities are found on the coast or alongside rivers. The country is divided in 9 Departments (Fluvian: Dipartimenti), and departments are further divided into provinces and districts.

    Rivalfiume's economy is very diversified, mainly lead by fishing, tourism, agriculture, raw materials (wood, high-quality wool, iron, aluminum, zinc, building stones such as granite, sandstone, limestone and, to a lesser extent, marble) and derivates (steel panels, either exported as is or transformed in many other products, stone slabs/polished stone used for construction, insulation panels, wooden furniture and tools, wood pulp, paper).

    Analytics after Traffic Jam "Resolution" by the Leader
    On the 24th of August 1422, the Traffic jam bill was passed in government to help improve upon the traffic jams in Fauthur. We have analysed the data from the first week of the bill passing. The results: 
    - A considerate amount of people started using public transport services. The Government monitored a 20% increase in the use of busses, trains, subways and more
    - Even without the need to, many people in Fauthur are willing to take their bike instead of cars
    - There has been less emissions overall in the country
     
    But even after all of these improvements and practically no public outcry regarding the bill yet, a new problem has fallen into the eye of the government: Railways and trains. With the increasing number of commuters taking public transport, the Fauthurian Railway Cooperation has shown, that the country is in dire need to expand upon the transport capacity of trains and a modernisation of railways. 
     
    Crime rates in Fauthur hitting all time high
    Since the past 5 years, Fauthur has seen a hefty rise in crime. The exact amount is a rise of 30%. This makes Fauthur have a medium of ~1,000,000 crimes per year. Reason for this could be the increasing population, tourists, overall need of workers around the country and non proper raising of children. 
    Currently Fauthur is also experiencing a recession in people able to perform jobs. For example: People that are unable to work due to old age and fewer and fewer adults that can take jobs. This problem although should resolve itself within a couple of years as Fauthur is simultaneously experiencing a sort of baby boom one could say. Overall people from ages 3-14 are double as much as people from the ages of 20-48.
     
    Underfunded and unequipped fire departments in south Fauthur
    As the last week's weather report told us, there was a significant chance of fires happening on many fields in the south Fauthurian regions. In fact, last week reported around 30 field fires from around the region and also 13 from south-east reagions. Police also suspect that a few of these fires were deliberately started and are investigating. This showed that the response time of firefighters to the scenes were many times insufficient to arrive in time and cut off the fires. As a result, entire fields burned down. Oftentimes, the fire departments didn't bring enough water to the scenes, rendering them unable to fight the fire that was blazing on through the fields. Leader now calls for an improvement on the situation and is diverting funds (Although we don't know how many) to fire departments all across the country. also incentivised to build more fire departments to counter long response times and overwhelming amounts of fires at once.

    Ethra krospe (Head of Air Fauthur): "Due to an increasing amount of populace using public transport and an increasing demand in flights to neighbouring countries aswell as national flights, we at Air Fauthur have decided to lower the price of flights national, aswell as international. We are also forgoing a reviwe process of our so called "Flightcards". These cards will be introduced to the populace as a nice way to track your flights. Tracking your flights gives you the nukber of flights you have been on with Air Fauthur already, and it helps you also track your current position int the air! This is to further improve safety of flights, aswell as a better chance of rescue incase of accidents. Additional to that, the Flightcard can also be used to get discounts on flights, discounts on different classes and maybe even a couple of free flights at Air Fauthur. To get such a card, simply ask the attending personal at the check out of your next flight, and we'll give you your own Flightcard. To use the Flightcard simply hand it over to the personal at the checkout and they will enter the data of the flight you've just arrived from. You can see the details and track your flight scanning the QR-Code at the back of your card. Don't forget to let the personal at the check-in scan your card to make tracking available for the flight! Have fun with the Flightcard. It should be available on from the 12th of September on all Air Fauthur Flights!"

    Chris reacted to Varanius in Strife in the Seas   
    The VRMF Striatus, a frigate in the Varanian Navy, was certainly one of the larger ships in the Varanian navy. Certainly not the largest or newest ship in the VRMF, but a powerful ship in its own right. The captain, Peyton Zontif, had been ordered to take the ship out for this small mission. Well, small is certainly a term for it…
    “Go straight ahead, Podi Formes” he ordered his navigator. 
    “But what about Giovanni-“ Podi questioned, before being quite quickly interrupted.
    “I said straight ahead, didn’t I?” Peyton questioned.
    “Yes sir,” said Podi, turning back to the navigation board.”
     
    some time later

    “Sir, we’ve received a request to identify ourselves,” stated the communications officer.
    “Ignore it,” commanded Peyton, and so it was done.

    Islamagna, Altana Region—21:30 International Atomic Time, 4th August 1422
    It was a quiet night at one of the Giovannilandian Navy's many coast guard facilities. Located in the main island of the Isle Annovi group, some 81 nautical miles (150 km) away from the Andolian mainland, it served as an important central watchtower in the Darkesian Sea's waters, connecting Giovanniland's Auran and Andolian territories alongside many others across the Andolian coast.
    However, no matter how quiet it may be, staff are always watching. Klaudia Pinario Levini, one of the officers there, had just arrived to fulfill a night shift as the day shift personnel prepared to rest, and together with her were several other people. 
    Suddenly, a siren starts sounding. Klaudia looks worried, rushing to the panels used to track any suspected movements across Giovannilandian waters. "Unknown ship just detected within the 12 Nm (22 km) limit of Giovannilandian territorial sea!", she noted.
    Another staff member, Amando Horatio Sousa, asked where it currently was, to which Klaudia replied, "Just off the western Andolian borders near the coastal city of Borioddo, some 135 Nm (250 km) away from this facility."
    Amando thought, "Hmm... western borders...", and noted, "I do have an idea of who it may be, although we can't be sure." 
    Both of them, alongside other staff present, agreed that it would be best to attempt contacting the ship. Klaudia initiated contact, and soon the ship was to receive a request of identifying themselves.
    "I hope it's a friendly vessel in an accidental entry into our territorial seas...", she thought as the message was sent. 
    Little did she know much more was to come...

    Klaudia kept waiting in the room, but no answer came.
    A question then came from staff member Quinto Rufino-Petrone, who had just arrived: "Still nothing?", to which Klaudia unfortunately nodded.
    Meanwhile, Amando intervened with the thought: "Remember when I said I did have an idea of who it may be?"
    Quinto asked, "Who do you have in mind?" 
    "Varanius," Amando proposed. "I mean, we can't be sure, but the fact it's on our western border and that they seemingly ignored the request strengthens the possibility."
    "Good thought," Klaudia added, "although it could also be a mishap in the unknown ship's crew."
    "That's two mistakes already...", Quinto replied, "entering Giovannilandian waters and not answering our request for identification."
    Klaudia pointed out, "Do remember that there isn't officially a territorial water agreement in Esferos, so other nations may not recognize our claim, which is important to have in mind if we seek further contact. Nevertheless, we're still acting on it, thoughts on contacting once more?"
    Amando and Quinto both nodded in agreement, although the latter inquired, "what if they keep ignoring our request for the ship to identify themselves?"
    "Well," Klaudia explained, "then we may have to resort to confronting the ship directly with a presence of a Giovannilandian one. She'll notice the company soon enough..."
    "That's worst case, though, since I am hoping this is a misunderstanding," she added.
    Quinto responded, "Let's hope so. In the meantime, are the Borioddo coast guards aware of this? They're the closest to the ship as things stand, but it's a lesser facility in comparison to Islamagna."
    "Oh, yes, they are aware. I've let their chief officer, Gabriello Veltano, know about this incident, and they are also conscious of the support that we can provide."
    "And our command in Porto Violeto?", Amando remembered.
    "That I shall contact soon, once I send the message to this unruly ship. I mean, they've most surely got a notification, but I shall notify them that our Andolian facilities are already dealing with this case."
    A few minutes later, the unknown ship was contacted for the second time, and the Giovannilandian Navy's leadership was now cognizant of her."

    Government passes new law
    24th of August 1422. Ministers and advisors gathered in the "Great Hall" of the Leadership building in West Fauthur to discuss a pressing issue and possibly discuss enacting a new law because of it. Which happened. Many ministers brought forth the issue of the ever increasing number of traffic jams and congestions on the roads of Fauthur. Due to this dilemma, many goods aren't reaching companies on time, emergency services have to take alternate routes that take 20 minutes longer to drive, effectively rendering help void, and many more issues present. After a heated talk with the Leader upon solving or atleast trying to improve upon this situation, the Leader decided, along with the ministers, that 1: The Highways and roads of Fauthur, especially in the east and on the checkpoints should be expanded and some more roads be built and finished in approximately 3 years, and 2: A new law is enacted urging citizens to take public transport, if the commute they are willing to take is longer than 150 kilometers.
     
    Agriculture more productive than ever
    Studies have shown, that in the last few years the level of agriculture has been improving. There has been a lot more crop yields and a heavy increase in availability of dairy and meat products. This could be due to an increasing amount of farmers and better regulations on how to do certain things. Also, since the incentive on agriculture last year that discounted 20% on a farmers first 10 assets, be it a vehicle, a field or whatever, there has been a lot more activity in and around agriculture.
     
    Employee shortage at IT businesses
    Dire situations in the east this week. An increasing number of people quit their jobs at multiple IT companies because of a lack of payment or overall bad work environments. To counter this issue, those IT companies, with a little stern talking from the government, have voluntarily decided to more strictly control the work environment and are making sure that payment is delivered on the day it should be. There has also been a pay rise of 5% on the IT front for several jobs so far. So, if you're interested and have the qualifications, why not take a job!
     
    District West Fauthur: 3 die in car accident
    On the morning of the 25th of August at around 4 am, on the Belhave intersection in the city of West Fauthur, there has been a heavy accident. A couple of cars commuting to their early morning jobs stopped at a red light on Belhave intersection just to hear the ever closening horn of a truck. Said truck then struck 3 vehicles at approximately 90 km/h, rendering all 3 cars with total damage and 3 people dead. Bpth drivers of the last, and second to last vehicle were killed as they were the first to encounter the truck. the first car to be struck also happened to have a second passenger, a child of the driver who was pronounced  deceased at the hospital later.

    Mass Traffic Jams in the North
    With the creation of the last few state roads, the ongoing traffic problems still aren't resolving. We asked the Minister of Transport on his opinion about this. "As long as people still get to their destination, we don't have to worry about traffic jams. We already poured another 5 billion into building these state roads! What the people need is more Law Enforcement and Defense Fonds!"
    As for the Minister believes in it being enough, we here at The New West do too. Eventually it will resolve with time. For example, in the evening, the traffic is dying down due to people returning home. Also, we could incentivise more people riding with bikes! Helps the nature, and our earth.
     
     
    Man killed after walking down the street and looking at a police officer 
     
    Yesterday afternoon on the 19th of August 1422, a man walked down the Nelgard-Esch street, wielding something that looked like an unbenownst weapon. The man then proceeded to look at the police officer where the police officer described his almost stare as "Full of hatred and contempt".
    The man then proceeded to walk towards the officer, seemingly wanting to ask a question. The Police Officer then pulled his gun and shot the suspect 3 times in the head and 4 times into the chest and legs. The "Weapon" later revealed as a pen, wasn't a weapon after all. The Police Department reviewed body cam footage and found the Police Officer at threat.

    Karlo started talking as the results appeared on the screen: "There isn't a more exciting way to ending the group stage other than matches featuring the grandmasters of each group, but also lots of interesting results and upsets. Leaving the more interesting matches for last, we have Groups D, E, and G whose matches went more or less as expected and served to solidify the qualified players' standings. We also have the interesting case of Groups A and H, where two grandmasters Giovanni Amdo-Gyasso and Sereno Belmonte failed to win against their respective opponents Markella Viator-Tamudio and Lorentia Gavione, but nevertheless still advance while the two latter players are eliminated."
    "Moving on to the interesting results, in Group B the grandmaster Lavanda Rosetta-Lyra soundly defeated Pietra Alledio, continuing their surprising recovery after losing twice in a row at the start. Meanwhile, Lavinia Pasquale-Arbone unexpectedly lost to Alba Vergilio-Silva despite a 200 ELO difference, and the other match's result then means that Lavinia has lost her qualifying spot to Lavanda! A similar situation also happened in Group D, whose Margerito Alboquerko is now advancing after unexpectedly edging out Gabriello Martio-Lampadio."
    "Last but not least, we have Group F! One of its matches, Guillermo Uryde-Amorino vs. Adriano Atilio-Spurio, went as expected. But the other did not: Raffella Quadrigaro lost to Vittor Nyima-Lyamo despite being the highest ranked player in the tournament! Unfortunately for Raffella, she's shockingly been eliminated from the tournament, and you will see more about that in group stage rankings now."

Looks like Groups A, D, and H have sent two grandmasters to the knockout stage each, while the others have one grandmaster and one non-grandmaster player qualified. Group B, for example, is an outlier because Candidate Master Isidoro Artena-Santi qualified as first place at the expense of 2nd place Lavanda Rosetta-Lyra, who barely made it in instead of Lavinia Pasquale-Arbone due to having more wins. The other four groups yet to be mentioned, however, feature a grandmaster at the top and another player as second place. For example, Group C's Margerito Alboquerko has the exact same stats as Gepelle Gormo-Pasano and even a lower rating, but was saved by the head-to-head record, as he won against Gepelle on the first round.
    "Group E and G similarly feature other potential dark horses, namely Giulio Punso-Lodago and Amanda Gilvano Valli respectively, with the latter even leading her group for the most time until Gallio Kervario Hortense took her place. Last but not least, Group F's former first place Raffella Quadrigaro did not hold to her position, as both Guillermo Uryde-Amorino and Vittor Nyima-Lyamo passed her. The multiple-time former champion and highest-rated player in the tournament is sadly eliminated, whereas the defending champion and a promising newcomer advance. This concludes the lineup of players that continue in the championship, so let's take a look at the upcoming matches!"

    "Here we can see each side of the bracket! One side looks fairly stronger, with seven Grandmasters and one International Master, whereas the other one features four Grandmasters, two Candidate Masters, one International Master and one player yet to win a title. There's a greater representation of Grandmasters this year in comparison to the last, eleven and nine respectively, while the number of Candidate Masters (two) stayed the same and that of International Masters and untitled players decreased. These players will see who advances in round of 16 matches on August 12th and 13th, don't forget to watch them!"

    Fauthur is a vastly Autocratic Nation, ruled by one individual.

Although tensions between two major political parties have been rising back then, no one took any action to prevent the now inevitable.

    Nation Name: The Federal Republic of Schonerort
    Discord Name: Corporal Bird#1432
    Short Paragraph: The nation of Schonerort was one of the few countries disconnected from the western continents, not making contact until various explorers from other nations found them. Before then, the country was incredibly Agrarian, primarily relying on an economy of agriculture and fishing, with some minerals and metals being used. After the island's discovery, trade started to increase with the island, as well as technologies coming in. Combined with Schonerort's vast rivers, early industrialization was rapid.
    In modern times, the island boasts a rising population of 27,500,00 million. Welfare is incredibly common, and the state juggles various issues such as public transportation and healthcare. The primary sport of the country is Hockey, with the runner up being rugby.
