Short Introduction

Sjwitz is a bright, young nation of hard working people. Being a relatively new nation, Sjwitz doesn't have a big history. The cultural and historical facts about this small piece of land remain somewhat hidden, mainly caused by the fact that the stubborn people of Sjwitz refuse to think about the past, most of them never think about the same thing twice, it's just on towards the future.

This weird ability causes the Sjwitz people to create great "visionary", which shows in the fact that most of them are always prepared for all kinds of possible disasters.

From being born on, people in Sjwitz are taught to study, work or train hard for what they want to do or become. The negative side of this is that there are a lot of people who are only good at one thing because they specialised in it for so long, the positive thing is: Sjwitz has a great amount of highly educated people - in one subject - , a great deal of businessmen and most of all, a huge amount of athletes, in all kinds of sports. This extreme amount of athletes is also caused by the fact that the Sjwitz are just CRAZY about sports, from cricket to tennis to curling to soccer. All sports have their league and loads of pro's in Sjwitz.
