R&R Introduction:

R&R is a clan prominent in CyberNations (or the common name "Planet Bob"). We are a clan with a very distinct environment and friendly group of people that is difficult to find elsewhere. Many members that leave to experiment with other clans find themselves coming back because they didn't feel the same camaraderie in the other clan that they feel here. Going hand-in-hand with this camaraderie, we have one of the most democratic clans that you can find. We have elections for every major position, and for those that aren't experienced enough for a major office, there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved in government, whether it be in our Foreign Affairs, Interior, or Military departments. The goals of R&R are to grow to become the most powerful clan, give its members a fun environment to play in, and to be a place where members can get involved in their clan.
