History


The Island of Cydoni-Gibberia has existed for many years, before much of the other nations ever existed. Much of the population of Cydoni-Gibberia (which was originally known as The Republic of Varylaskivé) was spaced out across the island for many years, until Arjan explorers joined much of the tribes together. The capital city, Vardychinov, was the most populated city in all of Cydoni-Gibberia for every year until 2002, when Laskivé overtook it.

National Flag
The national flag of Cydoni-Gibberia is currently the only vertical tricolore in the world. The red indicates the strawberry fields that have brought in many sources of income for the island. The purple indicates uniqueness from the other nations. The yellow indicates the sunlight logo of the island that signifies moving in a new direction. The yellow can also signify wealth and good luck. The national flag of Cydoni-Gibberia was adopted and declared official upon it's independence on Saturday 8th March 2008.

Geography


Cydoni-Gibberia is a nation that consists of 7 regions: Gibberia (where the capital city, Vardichynov, is located), Bruixijan (the largest region), Formata (a major port to the Eastern mini-continent), Cydu (the major economical center and HQ of CyGiTV, Cydoni-Gibberia's NSC broadcaster), Sabato (which makes up much of the south of the island), Bazdmeg-iFrickin-C'Moon-al-Hamililandia (one of the longest names for a place in the world and the second largest island in the nation) and Låpøtré, (the northernmost place in the entire world, and the island won after a war with Reym-L-Dneurb). There is also a major river, Cydu-Gib, that runs through all 5 mainland regions and separates the island. The island is situated in The Great Sea, sitting in between the West and Southeast continents.

Military

2009 War with Reym-L-Dneurb
In early May 2009, Cydu scientists discovered a new island close to the northernmost point of the world which was discovered to have a large plantation of Langenlois potato trees and an unusually warm climate. However, the area of land has been claimed by the RLDian government, despite the many claims that Cydoni-Gibberia was the first to discover it. Tempers between the two nations frayed over the claims, and a war developed between the two nations.

The first battle was won by a strong attack by the Reym-L-Dneurbians but the final two battles were Cydu victories, and as a result of this Låpøtré fell under Cydu control, making the country the northernmost in the world by land ownership. Since falling under Cydu control the island has become a popular holiday resort and notorious around the world.
