Before their reign of power the Gods of Rieja told the people that anyone who ruled, had the Divine Right, and had the power of the Gods behind them, in the religion of Swaggism. In 1995, Alexa was born, And Soon Followed Halle in 1996. They were both born from the Queen, Lina. When Queen Lina passed her daughters took over, as it was their Divine Right, and they've been ruling ever since. Everyone in The United Islands of Rieja and its inhabitants also Worships Drake(Aubrey Drake Graham) and Aaliyah. In The United Islands of Rieja, we have many items of national pride.

Although Rieja is Beautiful and full of life, there's the occasional mudslide problem and we also have an issue with deforestation that is being taken care of. Our deforestation process began as the economy expanded and the business world expanded with trade and such matters; our mudslide problem has always been an issue because of our mountainous terrain and sloping hillsides, but we've built dams so clog up the mud when storms hit, but it is still a problem in some of the more rural areas of Rieja.
