For one of the longest periods of time Riegab was well known for her great democratic ways. She prospered unrelentingly, it was during this time she made the slow, yet expected transition to a more capitalizt state. Slowly as everything changed, Riegab begane to prosper even more, and yet there is a very low near nil poverty rate, will we see even more properity in the years to come...

''Main article:'' [[History of Riegab]]
  
In the beginning Riegab was just comprised a humble little fishing village on the Morza sound, this village was [[Ethnemka]]. Over the years it began to flurish with life, soon the city was growing to small to house all of it's inhabitants. To remedy this many brave Riegabans sailed into what they thought to be an abyss. They would land on the island we would call Thrasea , they founded the great city of [[Eutko]]. This was the beginning of a great land boom, in which the borders were expanded to their current borders.
+
The modern nation known as Riegab started it's life as a colony of [[Anatania]], it was in the early 1700s that they helped the Riegabans assassinate their oppresive emperor, Shlotsnok, afterwards taking over control of Riegab, though the Anatnaians had been living more or less side by side the native Riegabans since the early 1600s. It was only through several upstanding nationalists that modern Riegab was formed, in the early 1900s there started movements wanting for Riegab's independence. Later in 1939 they achieved it after years of peaceful struggle, although the Anatanian government granted it its independence and left, most of the origional Anatanians stayed and led very prosperous lives, in fact as a testement to them, most of the cities of Riegab bear names from the Anatanian language of [[Eubraute]]. More recently Riegab has seen it's share of troubles, a little less than a year ago she ended what could have been a full fledged civil war. A retired general from the army left after some problems there and came back hoping to create unrest with the news of the Chancellor being granted Emperor status. Although this was only as an honorary title, many thousands of people rallied with the general and attacked with two main battles, the Batte of Ethnemka and the Battle of Eutko. Because of actions taken at the battle of Ethnemka by a Buben general several buildings are now in the prosess of being cleared so they can be rebuilt.
  
=== Later Happenings ===
+
== Government ==
  
Later in the time explorers from Anatania came, they took over power by killing the oppressive Emperor Shlotsnok (meaning "The Devine Ruler"). The Riegabans were very exalted by this. For many, many years the Riegabans were ruled without much dislike for Anatania, but as time came into a new age, the younger Riegabans were looking for some self identity, they overthrew the Anatanian government in the region and established their own government. The Anatanians though were not to angry, this is because for a long time Riegab was seen as a nuisence, so now finnaly they were gone. Also not really dealing with history but equally notable, the development of Riegab's own calendar, known as the [[Riegaban Year]], more can be learned about it at the main page.

''Main article:'' [[Riegaban Government]]
  
=== Recently ===
+
Although for the longest time the government used to be a democracy it has slowly been drifting toward capitalizm and corporationalism, there are mainly three branches of government, the chancellery, the legislative branch, and the justice branch. The chancellery is comprised of several ministers specialized in variouls subjects, the grand ministry which houses the different minister, and the chancellor. The legislative branch is bicameral and is comprised of the senate and the house of commons, and the justice branch is mearly a group of magistrates that uphold the constitution.
  
Recently a one ex-general Triantis ploted to overthrow the new Emperor Hariosi. As of June 3, 2005 the [[Riegaban Civil War|civil war]] is still in full swing, but reports are comming in that the Emperor and his ally, Buben are gaining the upper hand on the rebels.

== Geography ==
  
== Religion ==
+
''Main article:'' [[Geography of Riegab]]
  
The main religion practiced in Riegab is Neugiler, which is much like the Buddhust relgion, to read more on Neugiler see the main article [[Neugiler]].
+
The geography is mostly the same throughout the nation, rolling plains and several rivers. There are two mojor islands in the nation, and in the south Riegab borders a rather large lake. Also to the south is the nation of [[Novoi Vechnosti]] which Riegab has a bit of control over, and there are many mountains in that region, this makes for particularly good mining operations.
  
== Language ==
+
== Economy ==
  
The three main languages of Riegab are Rigavie Sutanio, Japanese, and Latin. Rigavie Sutanio is the native language of the land, to learn more visit the main page [[Rigavie Sutanio]]. Japanese is spoken a lot because of the large immigration of Japanese people, mainly because of the presence of Kiku T. Hariosi. Latin is widely spoken not only by the high class but by all, although most people of a lower education only speak vulgar latin. Latin is also used for any and all legal documents. Also German is spoken in the south east becuase a large amount of Germans settled there, there are also many [[Polish]] speakers in the German region because many of the germans that came over were from the border region. And also there are some people in the north east of Riegab that speak [[Numla Tar]].

== Corporations ==

The largest corporation in Riegab is Smith & Deiters. Smith & Deiters is one of the most prominent weapons manufacturers in Riegab, they also dabble a bit in the resource mining and accusation field, more information can be found here [[Smith & Deiters]] Also one should note their large contribution in our government, they have their own appointed minister in the Grand Ministry, this is peticularly intresting seeing that the nation is slowly creeping down the path of [[Capitalizm]]. Despite this, Smith & Deiters is still the largest single contributer to our homless and disease foundations.

In age group 3 students learn the basics of Rigavie Sutanio.
+
In age group 4 the students learn more advanced Rigavie Sutanio concepts.
+
In age group 5 the students will take a test, if they pass (high scores required) they'll go on to take vocabulary classes, but if they fail they will take more grammar classes.
+
In age group 6 they are administered a test that, if failed they will be sent back, depending on their score, to take grammar again untill they passs, if they pass, they will start taking reasoning classes that will prepare them for future classes. They will also have the oportunity to take one of the required secondary languages, this includes, Latin, Japanese, German, and Eubraute, these are the secondary languages of Riegab. If they choose not to, then they will just wait a year.
+
In age group 7 a secondary language is required, again they may choose from the above languages. This year they also start to take math, this includes basic functions, like addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication, as well as roots and powers. They will also discover the relationships between decimals and fractions, and also will be working with the various graphs of these functions. They will also start science, they will look at earth science this year.
+
In age group 8 they will continue their secondary language studies, as well as their math. In math they will add to the previous knowledge by moving into geometry, and how shapes are related, and how they can use the functions to find perimiter, volume, and other mesurments. They also will start learning about cultures, foreign and domestic, this includes the learning about religions, and the teachers encourage the students to find a religion that they find fits them. In science the will look at astronomy.
+
In age group 9 once again they continue their studies in their secondary language, but now they are encouraged (but not required) to take a foreign language, ie. Spanish, Greek, German, note Japanese is not a foreign language UNLESS they are already taking a DIFFERENT secondary language. Also in math they start to talk about algebra, and how numbers themselves are related to each other, throught the learning and proficiency of knowing the theorems and laws in math. Also by learning the basics of statistics. In science they will look at basic biology, like how things interact in their environment.
+
In age group 10 they again continue their language studies, this is the last required year for a secondary language, although it is recomended one continues on. The math they will learn is more advanced ideas on statistics. They will also begin to take history and geography classes. They will learn about the biology of the human body in full, this includes a health class.
+
In age group 11 they will, if they wish, continue their language studies, as they will for the rest of school. Then in math they will laern the basics of Triganomotry. They will continue in history, and get more in depth in geography, and will also start to look at how the local, (district and city) governments work. They will learn now about the biology of plants and other animals.
+
In age group 12 the math will continue with more advanced concepts in trigonomatry. Then in science they will focus on basic chemistry. They will continue with their history studies and now will learn more about the government, that is the central, national government and how the nation functions as a whole.
+
In age group 13 they will get into calculus and for science they will look at the advanced parts of chemistry. In history they will take yet more, and in government they will learn about the differing governments of the rest of the world, and compare them to the government of Riegab.
+
In age group 14 they will finnish up calculus. In science they will devieate from the standard course and take computer science, they all know how to use a computer from their other calsses, but they will take a class devoted to the inner workings of the computer. They will also take a test on all of their history classes, this also includes geography, and a rigorous 4 day test on the government and citizenship. If they fail they must take the class in their problem area again.
+
 
+
Now age groups 15-18 are different, they focus on specific occupation paths they may take, there are four main branches, a science, business, vocation, and military branch. Each is split up into several related occupational branches.
+
 
+
If you go into the science branch you will learn about computers or engineering which includes calculus, physics, and chemistry. Also you may go into chemistry, or biology. This branch would include classes like marine biology classes, and more in depth chemistry classes. Then there is also astronomy, as well as what are know as the ancient studies, these are linguistics, which includes classes for if one would like to become a writer or even a translator. This also includes all proffesions that are based in the past, like archeology and paleontology. And also there is a medical branch.
+
 
+
The business branch just mainly contains accounting classes, advertisment, and business practices class which focuses on business ethics and how to successfully run it. As well as more statistics classes.
+
 
+
The vocational branch is for those whom feel the call to work with their hands, this includes auto work or botony as well as parochial vocation for all religions.
+
 
+
And finnaly the military branch, this is the only branch that can be left after a year. In the first year, you take basic training, as well as a tactics class. If you decide to leave at this point you will join the military in the branch that you took basic training in, but you will be merely a 3rd class soldier, equivilant to a US corporal, whereas if you join without going to school you will be a private. If you decide to stay you will be taking classes to further your proficiency with weaponry, such as heavy weapons training, sharpshooters school, or mechanized transport school, which includes tanks and mechanized warfare. Or you could choose to take air or sea tactics classes. If you stay in and graduate you will become a 1st class officer, equivilant to a US liutenant. Then if you graduate in the top 20 in your class, you will be invited to attend the prestigious Military Institute at  Eutko, here if you graduate within the top 20 of your class you will become a general/admiral, same titles as in the US military.
