Background

Many modern scholars have commented on the unique history and culture of the Republic of Qiajivik. Indeed, George Washington was highly inspired by its philosophy, proclaiming: "One must not say it is a her, for she is a he. We must look past the Appalchian Mountains and learn from the best Mountain; that is, the Qiajivik Mountain." Later leaders were thus inspired by him to conquer the entirety of North America below the Canadian Dominion, citing his interest in the Qiajivik as inspiration for this Manifest Destiny.

Ever since its declaration of independence from the Republic of Canada, the Yetis have come together and formed the Wakandan Federal Republic. Wakanda, however, has been criticized as being a monarchy instead of a republic; this is because their ruler has had a history of despotism and possessing a disregard for the country's Basic Law. Furthermore, King Ojibwe was not democratically elected by its people. Needless to say, the yetis respect their king as the de facto ruler of the country. This is evidenced by a quote from Stephen Taylor, a local Yeti Power activist: "Our yeti do be jah tho, he got the n-word pass from God himself." There has, however, been some controversy within Wakanda. King Ojibwe was directly involved in aiding the sale of weapons of mass destruction to Al-Qaeda, and has had a history as of sheltering many white supremacist leaders, such as Hendrik Verwoerd, during times of conflict.

Facts
  • Gained independence in 2004
  • Due to its snow being whiter than the others, the mountain has since argued that it is superior than most other mountains; as such, it has since declared full independence from Canada, and enjoys a membership in the UN Security Council. However, members of the UN have since questioned its legitimacy, as it has no population and the yetis there average a GDP of $-100 USD per year.


Economics
  • The currency of the Qiajivik is Yeti Rupees.
  • One Yeti Rupee is the equivalent of $420.69 USD.
