Hey here, it's Colorband. I created Rivland. I also design logos here! Most of this is an attempt at worldbuilding, so enjoy (I guess)!

Rivland - an atlas
Rivland is a country on the (some Eurdecian - probably near Itany?) coast. Robert Thomas founded the country in 1857 after a war with Anglosaw, who had been occupying the country since some time in the 1600s. It's similar to most ex-Anglosovic colonies, which means that they've tried hard to make a name for themselves on the global market. While sometimes, this results in things like the Manathanburgh Film Festival, this can just as easily backfire... like their bid for the 2022 Olympic Games, which was essentially a slowed down montage of the Rivlandian government continuously shooting themselves in the foot.

Major cities

 * Manathanburgh - The capital city. LANDMARKS: Commercial Tower (housing both Commercial Bank and TVM), Broadcasting Plaza (home of Rivland Public Media), Sandanger Center (originally Sabariv Center - houses the offices of both Sandanger Sabariv and Pilcrow Press), and Manreg Building (originally Manathanburgh Regional Bank Building - completed in 1974)
 * South Thernham - The media backbone of the country. LANDMARKS: Mediaset Rivland's complex (where Channel 5 and it's sister channels are broadcast from), Mediapark South Thernham (home of both P6 Media's and Neptunic Slash Media's broadcasting operations, as well as the TVM Sportscentre), and the Altice Tower (originally Contel Tower).
 * North Thernham - North Thernham, whose only claim to media power is the Canal+ headquarters, makes up for its relative uselessness by being the home of not only the Party in the Park music festival, but the North Thernham Roadrunners - a football team which will always be better than the Manathanburgh Capitals. LANDMARKS: Canal+ headquarters and the North Thernham Stadium by VU.
 * Sherfordshire - Home of Harold Brothers. And not much else. LANDMARKS: HBMC Complex.
 * Charlsine City - Named after its founder, this coastal town is mostly known for its industry (being the birthplace of Reliant Motors) and of being the originator of the "Teknodelix bass" style of music that had a brief but real vogue in Eurdecia in the mid-90s. LANDMARKS: Reliant Plaza, and the original Teknodelix Records headquarters (now a nightclub).
