Quote:Rionogo
“Rionogo is a floating island where people holds a deep link towards dragons, as there are humans and mythical creatures lives there and are treated as a family to each other. Rionogo is pronounced as rī.o/nō/ɡō/ —- rio means ride, as there are known dragonriders across the island, no means non-stop, when the people of Rionogo are born to never let anyone stop them from reaching towards their goals and dreams, go is when everyone of Rionogo should always make sure to keep themselves moving forward, despite any given struggles and don't go back as whatever happened is the a past. The Rionogo’s life motto is: you must go forward if you want to succeed with your lessons and mistakes used to guide you through your life.”

Location: It’s a 2,500,000 square kilometers floating island that is located above the entire regions about 10 kilometers/6.1 miles high. It is currently unknown as to how the island can float, generations upon generations says how the island is actually the most massive and powerful living creature who was created by the first four dragon siblings who sacrificed their powers and life to make a home for both humans and dragons that treats each other as families, rather than foes. They say that it rarely wakes up, but is still able to travel across the world in its sleep with the ability to sense the winds and follows the direction the winds are heading towards to. It does require aircrafts to reach to the floating island, but because of the island always travel across from one country to another, depending how fast or slow the winds are “pulling” the island, it takes time for the people to plan out the specific dates and times with the meteorologists

Population: 500,000, excluding the dragons, though there are many kinds of them to see. While Rionogo have the most beautiful landscapes to take the sights upon with clean and fresh lands, featuring various species of dragons, either similar to ones from the myths or ones that no one has ever seen before, as Rionogo is the first ever location that actually floats in the air, it does cost fifty thousand dollars ( in Canadian dollars ) for each individual who wasn’t born from Rionogo to visit for two weeks only, and one hundred thousand dollars ( again, in Canadian dollars ) for the rent of the houses in each month of staying. Therefore there are not a lot of people, especially from outside of Rionogo, who are able to afford their rental payments.

( The National flag symbol of Rionogo )

Meanings behind the national flag symbol: To start off, there are four known colours in the flag: red, blue, green and yellow. Each colour symbolize an element, from each of the four dragons who created Rionogo. Red is fire, blue is water, green is earth, and yellow is electricity. There are a circle at the center, meaning it is a family, and a family should always stay together and never break apart, no matter what. The symbol inside the circle represents it being similar to a dragon, with how it looks like a body with wings, as Rionogo does have dragons residing there.
