Cydoni-Gibberia (Cydu: Ripublijka der Cydonji-Gybbaria, Gibberish: Ripablico do Cidono-Gibberija) is an island nation that debuted in NSC 20, finishing last in the semi-final, and has entered every edition of NSC since. The capital city is Vardychinov and other large cities are Laskivé, Jurdaos and Danishri. There are three main languages in Cydoni-Gibberia: Cydu, Gibberish and English, with minorities of German, Spanish, French and Meelian. Cydoni-Gibberia is located just west of the coast of the Eastern mini-continent, with Begonia, Rotterdamus and Effiland having coastline facing the island. There are many ethnic groups in Cydoni-Gibberia, with a high concentration of Maccha-Brugian, Halitosian, Arjan and Daffodilian citizens living on the island. Cydoni-Gibberia declared independence from Arjan control on March 8th 2008.

[edit] History
The Island of Cydoni-Gibberia has existed for many years, before much of the other nations ever existed. Much of the population of Cydoni-Gibberia (which was originally known as The Republic of Varylaskivé) was spaced out across the island for many years, until Arjan explorers joined much of the tribes together. The capital city, Vardychinov, was the most populated city in all of Cydoni-Gibberia for every year until 2002, when Laskivé overtook it.
[edit] National Flag
The national flag of Cydoni-Gibberia is currently the only vertical tricolore in the world. The red indicates the strawberry fields that have brought in many sources of income for the island. The purple indicates uniqueness from the other nations. The yellow indicates the sunlight logo of the island that signifies moving in a new direction. The yellow can also signify wealth and good luck. The national flag of Cydoni-Gibberia was adopted and declared official upon it's independence on Saturday 8th March 2008.
[edit] Geography
Cydoni-Gibberia is a nation that consists of 7 regions: Gibberia (where the capital city, Vardichynov, is located), Bruixijan (the largest region), Formata (a major port to the Eastern mini-continent), Cydu (the major economical center and HQ of CyGiTV, Cydoni-Gibberia's NSC broadcaster), Sabato (which makes up much of the south of the island), Bazdmeg-iFrickin-C'Moon-al-Hamililandia (one of the longest names for a place in the world and the second largest island in the nation) and Låpøtré, (the northernmost place in the entire world, and the island won after a war with Reym-L-Dneurb). There is also a major river, Cydu-Gib, that runs through all 5 mainlandregions and separates the island. The island is situated in The Great Sea, sitting inbetween the West and Southeast continents.
[edit] Military
Cydoni-Gibberia has one of the most powerful armies in the world. Each region has an army, with the CMF (Cydu Military Force) acting as the main national army, drawing troops from all regional armed forces. Cydoni-Gibberia fought Lolee and Rotterdamus for land on the Eastern mini-continent.
[edit] 2009 Political unrest with Reym-L-Dneurb
In early May 2009, Cydu scientists discovered a new island close to the centre of the seawhick was discovered to have a large plantation of Langenlois potato trees. However, the area of land has been claimed by the RLDian government, despite the many claims that Cydoni-Gibberia was the first to discover it. Tempers between the two nations are fraying over the claims, and many predict that a war could begin between the two nations.

Cydoni-Gibberia debuted at NSC 20, with the Utah Saints performing Something Good 08 in Ugaly. It did not qualify to the final, placing last with just 22 points. Cydoni-Gibberia qualified to the final for the first time in NSC 21. Generally, Cydoni-Gibberia has had a poor showing in the contest, often finishing low table in the final or mid table in the semifinals. However, this fortune has changed since the mid-30s; the island was 7th in NSC 36 and 5th in NSC 38, the latter prequalifying the nation for the first and currently only time. The island was later 8th in NSC 41 and 7th once again in NSC 44. Red is last, gold 1st, silver 2nd and bronze 3rd.
