### ***Orthodox Ginotiuism***

It all began when Rostislavic was still the main religion of all Rostislavic states, purely believing the leaders of each sovereign state are Gods with ordinary lives aswell just like how a normal person lives. It was until the year 1106, when Rostislavians came into Krividad, whose religion is Ginotiuism, and a marriage was held there, thus creating the Orthodox Ginotiuism. The correct teachings, moral principles that affects almost every aspects of an ordinary Rostislavian person in his/her daily lives is based on the religion.

It is usually played with classical music, most especially from a famous Rostislavian musical composer named *Frodyr Kerilini Varschovski*.

### ***Movdoy, Rostislavian Empire c.1894~***

It once became the capital city of the glorious empire during past years 1877-1886. With millions of people living in Movdoy, their day-to-day condition is they're all well-fed, and didn't need to walk over 500 miles away from their villages to get food unlike in other poorer cities. The roads there are also clean & in proper order filled with carriages carrying their passengers, supplies/goods, etc. It is also known for its historical features, including the Imperial Golden Palace in Saint Ketrodel (the beautiful building at the right), construction ordered by Pyotr (Peter) the Great during year 1634 in Rostislavian Tsardom (when Rostislavia wasn't classified as empire yet).
