==**The Republic of Berries and Cream (RBC) a nation built on purity and hard work developed by their “founding fathers” Muna Aniemeka, Thierry Mel, John Goldwire, and Darrin Hypsher. This country created on the grounds of the Natural Theory- which was caused by the leader’s departure in 1501 from America that urged them to seek open land in Europe, and bring all family and those who choose to follow too. These founding fathers where men who declared the constitution and wrote the great record of rights that are given to all and their prosperity, these are rights that still stand untouched. **==
