What Is The Meaning Of The Landmark(s)?

The Eternal Flame: This flame is for all the people that have died in the wars of Karnei Shomron.
The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier: In the War for Independance, when all was lost against the enemy, a bomber from the opposite side evaded our surface to air missiles and defected to us. Then he turned around, headed for the bluk of the enemy army and crash landed into them. Parts of his body were recovered and put here.
The Raising of The Flag: This is when in our War for Independance, 5 soldiers fought their way up to the Old City and planted the Karnei Shomron flag on the Wall of Laden.
The Barracks: Where the drafted report to sign in.
The Shipyard: Navy headquarters and a small museum.
The Tomb of the Prime Ministers: Where the PMs are buried when they die.
The Tomb of The Snipers: All our snipers are buried here, for they are respected.
The Museum of The Shin Bet Ayin: A huge museum that glorifies our military and Black ops. Kids can carry out "missions" using sim fire. Fun.
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak out for me.

How Many Landmarks Does Your Nation Have? - Many! But only two have made it into the 10 Wonders of The Region in The Latican Protectorate
What Are They Called? - The New Reno Canyon & The Bank Tower
What Is The Meaning Of The Landmark(s)?

- The New Reno Canyon is a giant canyon between the States of Tuskox and New Reno. It is the biggest natural on land crevice in our region and would dwarf the Grand Canyon in real life, it was used by cattle ranchers in the 1800s.

Does Your Nation Have Any Landmarks? Yes
How Many Landmarks Does Your Nation Have? 4 we shall allow you to know of.
What Are They Called? The Forbidden Palace, Tiananmen Square, The Great Wall of China (Duh), and The Three Gorge's Dam
What Is The Meaning Of The Landmark(s)?
The Forbidden Palace: Built by the Ming Dynasty in 1416, it was used as the Palace for the Emperors until the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is, however, still used as the home for the leaders of the Chinese government. It is located in Beijing, China, and is part of the Forbidden City, a series of buildings constructed for the Emperors. It contains much symbolic and cultural value to the Chinese.
Tiananmen Square: Largest city square in China. When there shall be massive parades, events or such, they will be held in the Tiananmen Square. It was also the site of a small protest for democracy, which resulted in the provinces being able to elect a representative to show the Premier the provinces' current interests.
The Great Wall of China: The longest and biggest architecture in China, it has lasted for 2000 years. Its symoblic and cultural value is the most in all of China, with it being a sign of power from China's old times. Tourist revenue from the Great Wall is high, considering it to be one of the most visited Tourist places in China.
Three Gorges Dam: This immense dam is the biggest Dam in all of China. It is located on the Yangtze River, the longest and largest flowing in China. The Yangtze has always had many floods, crushing villages and taking many lives. The Dam has successfully made the floods effectively stop, and generates enough power to equal 18 nuclear power plants, due to the Yangtze's vicous nature. It has, however, displaced many Chinese and submerged some land using for farming. Since that, the food in the region has been in a lower supply.
Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.
- Lao Tzu
Regard your soldiers as your children, and they will follow you into the deepest valleys; look on them as your own beloved sons, and they will stand by you even unto death.
- Sun Tzu
He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.
- Chinese Proverb
If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.
- Chinese Proverb

Eyvindsson's Rise, one of the few "dry" pieces of land in Tarfen is a large bluff on the northern shores of Tarfen. To the south and east of it lay the Tarfen Flats, a large and desolate stretch of the country renouned for it's marshes and bogs. To the west of Eyvindsson's Rise is the Murkrose River Delta which is without vegitation due to the river capable of backing up for miles with saltwater. Eyvindsson's Rise is significant because it marks the only logical point for construction on the northern shore, as well as providing a naturally defendable position for the ancient Northwatch Fortress used in many wars to prevent travel of the enemy throughout the entire northern region.
