 +
Vigorithia has been a civilised Island that's been through many years of Civilisation. Its growth has thrived throughout the years and has been settled by many different people across the centuries.
  
== '''History'''==
+
The Island of Vigorithia was believed to have been discovered in 150AD by a Northern Laslundian called [[Thornnasur]]. He settled into Vigorithia and turned it into a thriving country in as little as 100 years. The exploration of Vigorithia was not much until the year of 937AD, where a group of explorers led by Hubert Sandon were the first outsiders to report the island globally.
  
[http://http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Vigorithian_History See full article>>]
+
After Hubert told the world of Vigorithia's existence, the country was subjected to many different people coming across and attempting to convert and change their religion and language. Vigorithia was then pressured into becoming a country of Unista-Empress Institution and joining the empire of countries; they eventually agreed to the offer and became part of the Institution.
  
'''The Beginning:'''
+
Centuries later, Vigorithia suffered an extremely cold winter which destroyed the economy and population almost entirely. Danov saw this as an idea to take over the nation of Vigorithia and claim the country as their own. They did, and appointed Sr. Heiger Boldomuke as the New Leader. The Leadership didn't last very long and Vigorithia was taken back by the Northern Settlements not addressed by Danov. [[Hyrnnai Ysarrā]] led the group to victory and appointed the country to its first democracy.
  
Vigorithia has been an civilised Island that's been through many years of Civilisation. It's growth has thrived throughout the years and has been settled by many different people across the centuries.
+
Vigorithia was unaffected then for two centuries, quietly trading with a few countries. The Map of Vigorithia was finally printed. The 'Open willed' act was established in 1534, which allowed freedom of Religion. Vigorithia was the first country to do this. A small disaster occurred in 1567, which an avalanche from Mt. Tsarrāl destroyed a small town, killing thousands.
  
Vigorithia is believed to have been discovered around 150AD. A fishing group led by Thornnasur from the Northern tip of Laslundy set out to sail to the Northern Islands which at the time was famous for fishing, but the crew were caught by the Northern Laslundic storms at set off course to Vigorithia.
+
Vigorithia Joined the World Meetings Arena for the first time in 1758. They've been developing steadily since.
  
When landing, Thornnasur and his crew at first believed they had infact landed on the Fishing Islands, however while exploring they realised the size of the Island and the amount of Snow and Mountains which is not seen on the Fishing Islands. Thornassur realised that he and his crew had discovered a new island, and not being the accomplished explorers that would be ideal in this situation, they fled the Island eager to inform Laslundian Explorers.
+
==Politics==
  
However, the idea of sailing out to the North rough seas to many Laslundians was surreal and the idea of another land more northern was rejected and the Island was a waste for several years until Thornnasur's crew decided to prove them wrong and set sail back to Vigorithia and claim it as their own.
+
''See main article: [[Vigorithian_Politics]]''
  
'''Settling:'''
+
The Politics of Vigorithia have changed throughout time, but were fully established in 1290 when Democracy hit Vigorithia for the first time, but the type of Democracy and the way it works changed greatly throughout the times and a set leader is now in the country.
  
The crew arriving in Vigorithia had about 100+ people, they were very organized and settled into Vigorithia very quickly, they got used to it's cold climate and created a society that was at first, alienated to the rest of the word. Thornnasur was the commander of the country. During this time of his leadership, Thornnasur was keen to give Vigorithia an identity of it's own and he set up the Old Vigorithian Language and set up an organized society.
+
The current Political System in Vigorithia works well. The Vigorithian parliament handle things as they come. The government is made of up of 10 Different Branches, each Branch of the government works as a main branch for each section of Vigorithia. The Sections in Vigorithia are done in areas: The sections are
  
The Island of Vigorithia remained untouched by anyone else during 150AD to 600AD. No explorers dared face the Northern Seas and Laslundians that saw Thornnasur's crew leave assumed he died in the ocean currents. However, in 623AD a group of North Hexvonians set sail to leave the corrupt dictatorship that controlled the country. They had planned to set sale to Laslundy but the Hexvonians had little direction and ended up on the Western Coast of Vigorithia, believing at first to be Northern Laslundy they were shocked to find out it wasn't, and also shocked to discover the people that lived there. They were accepted into Vigorithia and became very important characters in exploration of Vigorithia, and the group successfully set up many smaller settlements across the country.

'''Shown the light:'''
+
Whenever a debate is in discussion, each government branch discusses the debate among them and each branch reports their view on the debate and the government along with the leader Brent Lerwick come to a conclusion over the debate and enact it as soon as possible.
  
It wasn't until 937AD that Vigorithia were discovered and known by other places around the world. Many different Laslundian exploration groups were eager to find out the fate of Thornnasur, most believed he died, but some believed that he had discovered Vigorithia and settled there. It took many different exploration groups, but eventually in 937AD, they were discovered by a Group of Explorers led by Hubert Sandon, who eager for fame and fortune reported straight back to Laslundy.
+
The publics say on Vigorithian Politics is always high, each branch leaves it's political doors wide open for the public to have their say on what goes on in Vigorithia. Each town has a political building built in for public opinion. Elections are very active in Vigorithia, each member of the Vigorithian Political Party has been voted in by the Vigorithian public and whenever a member is to leave for whatever reason, a vacancy becomes open for an entry in the party and the public elect a new member.
  
'Vigorithian's entry into the New World' was a book created by Hubert Sandon. This detailed book convinced people that the existance of Vigorithia was indeed accurate and prompted many Laslundians and Hexvonians to emigrate into the country for a better life, as the book described. Many important figures also arrived into Vigorithia trying to convert the country into many different religions and some trying to enforce the global language of English on the country, so that it was able to communicate with other countries much more easily. Vigorithia took this on in 1334AD and became an established nation.
+
The branches in Vigorithian also have certain set areas, a typical branch has 50 people employed, 5 will participate in Education, 5 in Health, 5 in Crime, 5 in Transport, 5 in Military, 5 in Foreign Affairs, 5 in Business, 5 in Imports and Exports, 5 in Tourism and 5 in Misc. Roles. There is a head of each branch type and an overall head of each type. Many smaller political parties not connected to the government also have a say in the politics of Vigorithia.
  
'''Trouble in Paradise:'''
+
==Geography==
  
In the 13th (1234) Century, the whole country suffered and extra-ordinarily cold winter which killed many people and almost destroyed the economy. Various towns located in the centre were left as Ghost Towns. Danovians and Hexvonians at the time saw this as a good opportunity to take over the country and claim the country as their own, Which is exactly what Danov did.
+
''See main article: [[Vigorithian_Geography]]''
  
Danov appointed Sr. Heiger Boldomuke as the Leader of Vigorithia after convincing the local Vigorithians that it was for the best. Boldomuke had a strong influence on Vigorithia and got Danovian recognized as their first language. He also managed to get 65% of Vigorithian goods exported to Danov and almost used the nation as a production service.
+
Vigorithia is a northern country and the furthest West Country in the Unista-Empress group. It's located in cold and rough waters and its land has been vastly shaped by this. Most of the shoreline has rugged cliffs around the edge which mean Vigorithia is a very high country and because of this is almost entirely safe from flooding. The actual land in Vigorithia is relatively flat, but each part of Vigorithia has certain aspects.
  
What Danov forgot to do was remember that they had only taken the Vigorithian shorelines and did not explore into the centre and the Northern Parts. Many Vigorithians in the North were not aware of the Conquest of Southern Vigorithia and in the late 13th Century (1289), led by a famous Vigorithian called Hyrnnai Ysarrā they attacked the Danov strongholds at the Southern Part of the Island, destroying all military units including Heiger Boldomuke.
+
The Southern West of Vigorithia is flat grassland and rather good for farming. The Capital City takes advantage of that and sits there. The Central Southern part of Vigorithia is the lowest part of the country, the few beaches exist on there and the most settlements exist around the area. The Southern Eastern Side of Vigorithia is much more rugged than the west side, although relatively flat and rocky.
  
'''Reformation:'''
+
The Western side of Vigorithia is mostly Tundra; it gets Grass only in the summer and becomes snow in the winter. The Eastern Side of Vigorithia has the same landscape, although its terrain is much more rugged and is almost impossible for farming. The Central part of Vigorithia is scarcely populated and the mountain range of Vigorithia exists there: The Tomuska Range, the people living there live in small secluded settlements and use lakes nearby for their living; the government supplies them in the winter.
  
Hyrnnai Ysarrā and his solidiers had won back Vigorithia. But he did not stay on as a commander of   Vigorithia. He continued his life as a Fisherman, and put it up to the people, he conducted the most famous speech ever heard across the world. He put Vigorithia down as 'avaliable', he had created the very first democracy. A Government Group naming themselves the Vigorithian Influentials took command of Vigorithia and had no set leader. Vigorithia was back and better than ever, and they had their language back.
+
The North Western side of Vigorithia is almost always frozen. The North Eastern Side is the coldest part of Vigorithia and suffers from rough seas and 'freeze-waves'
  
After the reformation of Vigorithia, Danov had sent many troops back to Vigorithia in an effort to get what they had back. However, they did not count on Vigorithia's fantastic navy and ability to fend off what they threw at them. A peace treaty was eventually signed in 1436, which put the hatred of each country behind allowing each country to trade with each other.
+
Over 50 Islands also exist around the outskirts of Vigorithia. Few are inhabited.
  
Vigorithia was unaffected then for two centuries. Quietly trading with Danov, Hexvonia, Laslundy, and many other regions. In 1478 A famous explorer team named the "Ysajjitt" had discovered the island in full and printed out an accurate map of Vigorithia. The 'Open Willed' act was established in 1534, which allowed freedom of Religion. Vigorithia was the first country to do this. A small disaster occured in 1567, which an avalanche from Mt. Tsarrāl destroyed a small town, killing thousands.
+
== '''Climate'''==
  
In the early 17th Century, Vigorithia became aware of the increasing poverty of the Southern States  and the wars going on against the two countries. Vigorithia were the first country to send aid to the poor and help against poverty, many countries around the world including Danov and Altaria joined in with the effort.
+
''See main article: [[Vigorithian_Climate]]''
  
In 1758, Vigorithia joined the 'World Meetings Arena' for the first time. They signed a host of new laws, and since this very day have faced much critiscm from the country of Krystagia. The year of 1806 saw the High Tides where many costal regions suffered much loss of people and economy. 1837 saw Vigorithia find new forms of power and oddly enough the most famous leader was appointed in charge of Vigorithia: Roltus Hannuk. He was the most successful leader of Vigorithia.  
+
The current climate of Vigorithia is classified as a cold climate. With warm to mild summers and cold winters all over the country. The main factors of influence on Vigorithia's climate is are the ocean currents and the situation in the Frozen North.
  
'''Recent Times:'''
+
The Climate of Vigorithia generally varies. The Southern Regions of Vigorithia are considerably calmer than the northern regions and the climate there is relatively warm in the summer (although moderated by the ocean) The Summer Climate of the Northern Regions is very mild in the summer, but windy. The Winters in Vigorithia are very gloomy. The Southern Regions see calm, cold Winters and the The Northern Regions see very cold and very stormy winters with blizzards and sea storms the norm.
  
In more recent times, Vigorithia have kept themselves largely out of action. The conquering of Oakenfeld by Krystagia was largely ignored by Vigorithia who spent much of their time trying to solve Global Pollution and focusing on the Borderline and stopping the conflict down there.
+
The Highest temperature recorded in Vigorithia was 24.3°C in the Sandy Areas in Southern Vigorithia. The Coldest temperature recorded in Vigorithia was -41°C in the Central Highlands.  
  
The protection of the Animal Wildlife Act was backed by Vigorithia in 1934. In 1965, another act by Vigorithia was to stop the exploitation of the central mountains.
+
== '''Economy'''==
 +
 
 +
The economy of Vigorithia is rather powerful. The leading country in Fishing and Iron and the leading country on the Enviornment, it's a big say in the world despite it's size.
 +
 
 +
The Economy of Vigorithia has many resources from Wood, Fish, Iron, Coal, Hunted Animals, Farming.  The Standard of living is high, and the unemployment is at a low of 0.76%. Trade is good in Vigorithia.
 +
 
 +
== '''Demographics''' ==
 +
 
 +
There is 3 official languages in Vigorithia: Vigorithian, English and Altarian. Vigorithian is spoken by 94% of the population, 4% of the population speak English (more have it as a second language) Altarian is spoken by only 2%. Various other traditional languages exist around the country aswell. Sinuno is spoken in the central parts of Vigorithia, but is not recognized as an official language, only a minority language.
 +
 
 +
87% of Vigorithians are Enterpisal Biblicists, 6% are are Bi-Biblicists, 2% are of the Southern Spirit Religion, 5% are of other minority religions not mentioned and not recognized as official.
 +
 
 +
The Population of Vigorithia is uneven, a whooping 50% live in the costal regions, 22% live in the Southern Central Areas, 10% live in the Northern Central Area's and 18% in the Central Regions.
 +
 
 +
Immigration in Vigorithia is on the up, Vigorithia is the king of immigration and many people from Southern Countries flock to the place and claim citizenship.
 +
 
 +
== '''Culture''' ==
 +
 
 +
The Vigorithian Stereotype is a thoughtful, modern, liberal and non-violent.
 +
 
 +
In many ways this is true. The Vigorithian Society is extremely liberal and thoughtful, one of the least strictest countries that exists in the world. They see equality as a strong point, frown against violence and right-wingism. T^he country is also very untraditional.
 +
 
 +
== '''Public Holidays''' ==
 +
 
 +
Much of the public holidays in Vigorithia are celebrated dependant on the weather. April the first is celebrated as the coming of warmer weather. June the 1st is celebrated as the hot season, September is celebrated as the autumn season as November is to Winter.

The Constitution of Vigorithia (Vigorithian: Vigureë) is a borderless nation in the Nothern Lantian Ocean, located between the continent of Unista-Empress and Laslundy.

History

See main article: Vigorithian_History

Vigorithia has been a civilised Island that's been through many years of Civilisation. Its growth has thrived throughout the years and has been settled by many different people across the centuries.

The Island of Vigorithia was believed to have been discovered in 150AD by a Northern Laslundian called Thornnasur. He settled into Vigorithia and turned it into a thriving country in as little as 100 years. The exploration of Vigorithia was not much until the year of 937AD, where a group of explorers led by Hubert Sandon were the first outsiders to report the island globally.

Danov saw this as an idea to take over the nation of Vigorithia and claim the country as their own. They did, and appointed Sr. Heiger Boldomuke as the New Leader. The Leadership didn't last very long and Vigorithia was taken back by the Northern Settlements not addressed by Danov. Hyrnnai Ysarrā led the group to victory and appointed the country to its first democracy.

Vigorithia Joined the World Meetings Arena for the first time in 1758. They've been developing steadily since.

The government is made of up of 10 Different Branches, each Branch of the government works as a main branch for each section of Vigorithia. The Sections in Vigorithia are done in areas: The sections are
