Country of Ragnaria

**Ragnaria** was a country in the center of the continent of **Ragnaria**, where it got its namesake. It was a country, of which four people are citizens living in the capital city of **Ladveria**.

Ragnaria was popular among its population because of it's pure democratic form of government in which everything was voted upon. Ragnaria was a historically peaceful nation, avoiding conflict when possible.

The country had a booming economy with a rapidly expanding infrastructure due to the presidents pushing for rapid reform.

## Namesake

Ragnaria was named after the continent of which it was part of. The proximity to snowy mountains that look as if they have been inhabited by Vikings.

## Current Government

The government was initially re-voted on to be a council, with each member holding equal control over decisions. After the shattering of the country though, every government has decided on their own form of governance.

## History

### Prehistory

Mostly empty land, the country of Ragnaria was occupied by small native tribes ever since they migrated to this land. Nobody really knows how long they have been here as there hasn't been much recorded history. It is estimated due to the tools and pottery that has been found however, that the natives have been here for at least 600 years.

### Founding

The country of Ragnaria was founded on the day of August 6th, 1800 by Jebediah Knight, Nicholas Noom, and Billy Cash. A fourth man showed up a couple days after the country's founding and they decided to let him in. They decided on the area to found the country because of its proximity to water, fertile land, plentiful natural resources.

### Destruction

The Great Cataclysm, as it is known among the previous inhabitants, completely destroyed a portion of Ragnaria, along with all of Ladveria.

## Political History

### First Ragnarian Election

The first Ragnarian election was held shortly after its founding. Though held on short notice, everyone was able to give a speech as well as cast their vote. Nicholas Noom ran on the subject of environmentalism and preserving the wildlife. Billy and Jebediah both ran on roughly the same policies of increasing funding to infrastructure and the mining industry, though Jebediah wanted to achieve this through more radical means. In the end the results of the election were as follows. Jebediah Knight (2 votes), Billy Cash (1 vote), Nicholas Noom (1 vote). Jebediah Knight won by one vote.

### Second Ragnarian Election

The second Ragnarian election was held six days after the first election, as one of the members would be out of the country and had to cast his vote sooner. Jebediah decided that he wouldn't campaign for a second term as he expected to win in a landslide. Billy on the other hand campaigned furiously in an attempt to oust Jebediah from his position as president. When it came to the results, It came to be Jebediah Knight (1 vote), Billy Cash (2 votes), and Nicholas Noom (1 vote). Jebediah pushed for a recount of the votes and thought that there may have been foul play, but in the end Billy was president, and Jebediah wasn't. When voters were asked why they didn't vote again for Jebediah, they stated that they believed he was too radical in his policies.

### Political Fragmentation

After the migration of the Ragnarians to the new lands, great political discourse took place. Shattering from one nation united, into four. Each original member forming their own nation.
