Geography
The People's Republic of Crystalliniah is made up of five islands; Una, Secundus, Tertius, Quatrian and Cinq. Geography wise, all the islands are pretty much the same, much of the Islands are dominated by mountainous or high terrain, with a great variety of natural features caused by prehistoric glaciers, Some of which still remain. Crystalliniah also has many waterfalls. Most of the mountains are densely forested.
The Climate of Crystalliniah varies depending on where you go. The northernmost part has a mostly Subarctic climate, the southern and western parts experience more rain, and have milder winters than the southeastern parts. The lowlands south of the capital Sapenno have the warmest and sunniest summers, but also cold weather and snow in wintertime (especially inland)
Due to Crystalliniah's high latitude, there are large seasonal variations in daylight. From late May to late July, the sun never completely descends beneath the horizon Conversely, from late November to late January, the sun never rises above the horizon.
The Latitude is 65
The Longitude is 0

Cash or Write off?
If you are a citizen of the PRC and looking to buy something you will generally be asked this question, cash paying is self explanatory but write off needs more explanation.
In the PRC to get rid of class, everyone has the same amount of money, it is a complex system that makes saving impossible. Every person with a job (if you are unemployed your not entitled to this until you get a job, that just stops people being lazy, being a student does not count as unemployment) anyway, every person has a set amount of money which they can spend on whatever they want, and at the end of the month your money balance gets reset to the preset amount, instead of getting a paycheck, this is why saving in you bank is pointless, saving in cash is possible however and some people do this.
When you write off, you type in your own personal code into a machine and it deducts the money from your overall balance, to be replaced at the end of the month. The system has flaws, but works well enough.
-Work in Progress-
Military
The Military as such is pretty much self funded at the moment, meaning it is under equipped and not very effective, during her term in office Cadence Romanov has been reconstructing the military and has been rather successful. Since taking office Einar De Vries is continuing what Cadence Started.
Government Structure and Political Structure
The People's Republic of Crystalliniah, Crystalliniah or the PRC, is a Socialist nation working it's way to communism, though they probably will never have the true Marxist version, as they still have a government which intends to stay.
The Capital city of Crystalliniah is Sapenno, which is located on the island Una. Other important or large cities are these:
On the island Una; Fida.
On the island Secundus; Barnabas and Adria
On the island Tertius; Jaremia and Caelia
On the island Quatrian; Eliza and Clementia
On the island Cinq; Scientia, Felix and Katalina
There are elections to appoint various Ministers which happen every 3 years and elections to choose the Head Of Government, which happen every 7 years. The idea being, if the people are going to have a government you may as well have the people choose who is in it. The legal voting age is 16 but you have to be a citizen to vote.
The current head of government is Einar De Vries (http://effingtechnology.com/images/confident_man.jpg) who is a member of the Tertius Communist Party (TCP).
Other political parties include; The Communist party of Cinq (CPC), Quatrian Communist Party (QCP), Una Socialists (US), Secundus Socialist Party (SSP), The People's Capitalist Party (PCPPRC)
While most of the parties call themselves communists or socialists their ideas do vary depending on who's ideologies they follow.
It is a sad fact that any political party that is not socialist or communist often finds itself having difficulties starting, runs into financial trouble or just gives up after the first few months. The PCPPRC has lasted so far who knows, how long more though.
The Group
The group is not a political party, they are a group of militants who generally cause trouble and occasionally attempt attacks and assassinations. This is not very often, generally they just protest, they could be seen as terrorists, they could be seen as a nuisance. The group is organized by Bobbi Parker (http://vividcherry.webs.com/Picture%202.png)
National Anthem
The PRC Has no national anthem as such, they just seem to have adopted the English version of "The Internationale" as their de facto national anthem
The Flag:
Thank you so much to Neo Ozia for making me this most amazing flag and thank you to Hofkauzern for animating it :D

The five stars represent the five islands of Crystalliniah; Una, Secundus, Tertius, Quatrian and Cinq.
People and Population
The People's Republic of Crystalliniah is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 333 million are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The people of Crystalliniah are known as Crystallinian they are Caucasian in appearance although there is slight variation in the largest of cities where society is slightly more integrated. The average life expectancy is around 85. The People's Republic of Crystalliniah does not have a main religion, being a mainly Atheist country.
