The '''Free Republic of Reijia''' (Reijian: ရေဣဇိအးလွတ်လပ်သောသမ္မတနိုင်ငံ, ''reijia lwatlautsaw sammataninengan''), known commonly as '''Reijia''' (sometimes spelled '''Ragea''', Reijian: ရေဣဇိအ), is a country in [[Gondwana]] located on a peninsula in the Strait of Khaj, which connects the Sea of Gondwana to the Gulf of Northwest Gondwana. It is a founding member of the [[International Forum]] and the [[Alliance of Northwest Gondwana]].
==History==
The modern Free Republic of Reijia traces its direct origin to a colony by that name established by the [[Ni-Rao|Empire of Ni-Rao]] 1283 CE. When the Raonites arrived to the Strait of Khaj, they remarked that there were conspicuous torches stood along the banks every few paces. Initial explorers called it the "river of flames" in their diaries. The resident population was a somewhat small tribe of felines called the Reiji
The Raonites and the Reiji co-existed peacefully as the Raonites built their colony, which they named Reijia after the native name for the area. The name means "land of the fire people." Over time, the two populations began to intermarry, and the Reiji joined the Raonites in living in the city of Khaj. Raonite ability to effectively govern the reaches of territory so far south gradually became restricted, first caused by massive military defeats from the Tavari and Banians in the far north and later, at the year 1400, a massive plague striking the core Ni-Rao territory. In the year 1448, the local viceroy in charge, Anao Meo, offered to purchase the city of Khaj and its immediate surrounding countryside from the Empire. The Empire, sorely in debt, accepted. While officially the other land around them belonged to the Empire, in practice they had abandoned their holdings in the region some 20 to 30 years after the sale of Khaj.
