History
Main article: History of Riegab
The modern nation known as Riegab started it's life as a colony of Anatania, it was in the early 1700s that they arrived and more or less lived side by side with the native Riegabans. 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.
