National Motto: A community is formed to benefit each and every one of its people, with no exclusions.
Culture: The culture is influenced most by their history as a refugee camp. There are no "leeches" to society. That is to say, there is no one who doesn't contribute. Everybody is proficient in their own way, and everyone has basic military training. There are almost no unfit people, since most of them are escapees from Cerebril's strict laws on social behavior. Many of them had to escape through the harsh mountain route, and even the later generations have that mentality passed on to them. Many of the people have also learned how to blend in with a crowd, and how to hide themselves. This contributes to the infiltration specialty of the country.
Religion: None.
History: The city-state was founded by a rich eccentric who made a hasty escape from Cerebril since his habits attracted the attention of the Ceribrilian government. He was able to escape without as much trouble as the current day escapee because there were not as many defenses on the mountains separating the forest from the rest of Cerebril. Using his less public resources, he was able to build an estate in the forest without attracting too much attention. Not long after his escape, others followed and it grew into a refugee camp. After a while it grew into a city and established a leading position. The agricultural part of the community grew to support the needs of the people, and the information business grew even more as people went to other places and countries, only to return and share tales. Recently, the people decided that they wanted to be their own country, so they established a government and are making themselves known.
Other Info: The "country" is really more of a city-state that is landlocked within Cerebril near the Ceribril/Elysium border. There are no jails. Punishments for crimes involve taking away certain rights or banishment for severe crimes.
