The State of Ridgeway was founded in the American Midwest in 1884 by settlers heading west seeking a better life. In return, this land was purchased from the Powhatan tribe at a dollar per mile. On the vast waterways, multiple cannon installments were crafted to protect the explorers on land from neighboring tribes. These explorers would go on to found the many settlements existing within the State now. The State itself is composed of numerous waterways, and vast railroad junctions. Hence why the State Anthem "On the Rivers, a new tomorrow is discovered" was written.
