Interesting TEP tidbits- TEP's Capital

Here's some interesting things I've learnt after exploring TEP's past, regarding its capital, and the island it is on. (Note that in the past, TEP government used to be a canon part of TEP's forum roleplay world, but the government and forum rp eventually split away. So a lot of early forum rps mention TEP's capital. :P)

1. In 2004, a regional poll was voted on to decide TEP's capital city. The eventual city was named "Rillanon", and is to this day. Interestingly enough, it was introduced by Kelssek, who introduced it since Rillanon was the capital of a kingdom known as the "Kingdom of the Isles" (possibly a reference to TEP's capital city being placed on an island) as well as the Eastern Realm. The city, and its kingdom and regions, are found in the world containing the RiftWar Saga by Raymond Elias Feist.

2. The island that Rillanon is located on, Christie Island, was formerly called "000 Government Island", which was the seat of government that ruled over the East Pacific, back when government and Forum RP were one.

3. The island was renamed during the poll mentioned in fact #1, so as to honor a person who died, but was known by Loop and other TEPers of the time.

4. Over time, Christie Island was renamed into Capital District, so that it was easier for noobs to understand the name.

5. Rillanon, and for the matter Christie Island, still exist in TEP's map today!

6. Christie Island/Capitol District is a modern-tech roleplay nation that is neutral to all matters. In a sense, it's like the Washington DC of TEP.

7. Back when gov and rp were the same, TEP was an interregional confederacy! Which means that it was loosely viewed as one entity, but nations had high levels of sovereignty (think of the Confederated States of America). So forum rp usually was within the limits of the Confederacy, or TEP. However, once government split from rp, forum RP switched to roleplaying its map as an entire planet.

8. The government section on our forums is still named "Capitol District"!

So remember, our capitol is Rillanon (City), Christie Island/Capitol District (Island/Neutral territory the city, and government, is in), The East Pacific (now just our region).

Don't forget! :P
