Riktofground (Classic)
General Information
Riktofground is a small town built on top of the ruins of an abandoned, Dutch-speaking city in the Northern Caucasias, belonging to the PWW with the mayor being SentientP0tat0. The town is along the south side of the Цилянское (Tsilyanskawe) River separating the Caucasias from the rest of Russia. Most of the town is at a low elevation almost equal to the Tsilyanskawe River (Where the dock is) yet some buildings sit on the edge of the Caucasian Plateau. The town got it's name from a sign inside one of the town's mineshafts that read "Richting de Afgrond", which meant "Towards the Abyss" in Dutch. Putting the words "Richting" and "Afgrond" together (sorry "de") made Riktofground, hence the name, Riktofground. The name for something relating to Riktofground or somebody from Riktofground is called a Riktof, as Russia is to Russian or Germany is to German. The flag from top to bottom goes Black-Red-White, as seen in the photo. The official languages of Riktofground are English, Swedish and Riktof (A Germanic-Based Constructed Language), and the official religions are Atheism, Buddhism and Christianity. The town of Riktofground, despite being in its infancy, has a long, rich history behind it, with most of it being lost in the test of time and buried in ancient inscriptions and signs the former residents of the town left behind
Prehistory
Pre-Eskimo Era
A presumably long time ago, Dutch (or at least Dutch-speaking) settlers in search for gold ventured east into the Caucasias and settled along a river just Northeast of Abkhazia, eventually turning their small settlement into an impressive city and might have even built the long stone road stretching from Alexandria to Munich, and joined an unknown nation. The city did not last the test of time, however, as it was somewhere along the road heavily raided and bombed by invaders, and in a blind rage, the mayor disbanded the town, not to be touched by a single settler for many months.
On the 22nd of July, Alaskan settlers looking for new lands and opprotunities found the long-abandoned town and decided to settle there, thus starting the first age of the Eskimo Era
Eskimo Era
Development Age
When the very first Alaskans settled in Riktofground, the town was in ruins, robbed of all it's riches, and much work needed to be done. The very first thing the Riktofs did was rebuild the farms and the houses; an ambitious project that could not be accomplished overnight, causing most of the town to be glorified ruins during the Development Era, hence its name, the Development Era (An Era of Development)
