Etymology

Main article: Name of Rhodevus

While a variety of theories have been postulated for the etymological origins of Rhodevus, the name is now accepted as coming from the Port Joy Laaban Tutzo word Rudo Evulo, meaning "bountiful of sea creatures". In 1326, indigenous inhabitants of present day Port Joy region used the word to direct French explorer, Beaumant LaFriore to the Straights of Rhode, where the severely malnourished explorer and crew would be able to catch fish to eat. Beaumant LaFriore used an amalgamation of those words to describe the entire region in Laaban Tutzo control. By 1425, Ventismarien books and maps had begun referring to this small region along the Straights of Rhode as Rhodevus.

From the 16th to the early 17th century, "Rhodevus" referred to the part of New Capsland that lay along the Straights of Rhode, as well as the official name for the French North of the island. Following the Failed Revolution and the signing of the Treaty of Rhodevus, the entire landmass and its islands became collectively known as Rhodevus.

Culture

Art

Rhodeve music ranges from Classical; written in the early 1800's to Rock which is being written up to this day. Most music is written and performed by hand without using computers and voice software. This gives Rhodevus a much more humanistic feel to the music and less robotic and techno. Rhodeve art is mainly sculptures created by hand and made out of the clay and stones found in the Province of Tundos.

Philosophy and literature

Rhodeve classical literature is mainly poetry about the beginning of Rhodevus and the various wars which where fought within the country. Some famous poetry is The Sun and Moon, May he be Remembered, Lost but not Forgotten and Wither Away.

Sport

Rhodeve citizens generally partake in many different sports including the national sports; Hockey and Karate, as well as basketball, baseball and soccer to name a few. Every year Rhodevus holds a national and international Karate Tournament called: The Rhodeve Martial Arts Seminar. (RMS)
