The People

Cruiswieck is a snug and comfortable country. Even if most Cruiswieckian people suspect they live in the best of all possible worlds, they rarely have the poor taste to say so. Prosperous and orderly, Cruiswieckians are also endowed with a streak of humor. They're fond of balance, understatement and good design.

Like its people, the country's sights are impressive without being imposing. Cruisberg, the country's capital, is a good example: It's a modern, international city that has managed to remain cozy and compact -- most of the sights are only a short walk away. Outside Cruisberg, the countryside offers graceful castles, stout churches and small villages that seem to have been lifted from a storybook.

Visitors who have been to other Niverian countries find the Cruiswieckians to be surprisingly open. Sit for a while at an inn or bar and you may soon find yourself surrounded by friends: Most residents  seem to make it a point to talk to travelers. And while their country may be old in appearance, the people are young in attitude -- the nightlife is vibrant and continues well into the morning.
