This thread is for shore leave on ch'Rihan otherwise know to the Federation as Romulas.
I will place some information here to make posting easier and more enjoyable.
The planet as seen from outer space.
Romulus
ch'Rihan is the capital of the Rihannsu Star Empire, and most government offices and agencies are on this planet. The Romulan Senate is located on ch'Rihan as well, as is the Praetor's office. Headquarters for both the Romulan Military and the Tal Shiar are located on ch'Rihan. Romulus was the first world settled by those who left Vulcan a thousand years ago. Romulus is a beautiful planet of forests, lakes, and waterfalls. Aside from several large cities on the planet, ch'Rihan is largely forest and wilderness. Several areas on the planet's surface are very mountainous. The Apnex Sea is a very beautiful ocean on ch'Rihan.
ch'Havran is the second seat of government and the other Rihannsu homeworld in the Rihannsu Star Empire. Remus, unlike ch'Rihan, is fairly desert-like. Aside from a forested northern continent, most of ch'Havran is plains and desert. Remus was colonized by settlers some hundred years after ch'Rihan was settled.
Aside from ch'Rihan and ch'Havran, the Romulan Star Empire also includes some 100 other planets that have willingly or unwillingly joined the Rihannsu Star Empire. These worlds are inhabited by Romulans and other cultures.
OCC: Info on Remus is prior to Berman's adulation of the known facts based on Roddenberry's vision one of the sources and the one used here is

Points of interest
Valley of Chula: is a scenic geographical region many Romulans find this area to be peaceful and is often used as a place for mediation.
Gal Gath'thong
The Gal Gath'thong a mountain range in the southern hemisphere of Romulus where rivers of fire spew over enormous cliff-faces. Many Romulan families travel to this part of the world to see the enchanting 'spray' as the sun rises over the horizon.
The ecology of Romulas has been carefully maintained after they cleaned up the pollution following massive industrial buildup. Which seems to be the fate of many worlds. Resulting in large vast areas of forest.
There are several mountain ranges for the convenience of my crew I will be reproducing that image here. Because of the size of the image it will take a feew seconds to load please be patient
The Sea of Apex is a very beautiful sea, with many fishing areas.
You will also find an abundance of parks offering a full range of activities. Hiking, swimming, rock and mountain climbing are among Romulan favorite activities.
Culture
The Rihannsu maintain large cultural centers in all its large cities. They enjoy art, music, dancing, theater, and have many cultural events thoughout the year.
The use of 3d art is among the most widely used forms.
They also enjoy a variety of sports, including water based sports.

Hnoiyika -- a weasel-like vicious predator
Jhimn -- serpent
Kaa`hhz - Four-legged, long-tailed, pointed-eared predators that over-run the jungle-planet ch`Shrrh. On their hind feet, they would stand at least as tall as a full-grown Rihan. They have been given the mysterious attribute to being able to appear and disappear at will, which in reality, is due to the speed at which they move. Their slightly protruding jaw and over-sized teeth give them the appearance of seeming to grin maliciously at their prey.

Fashion for those who may desire to go shopping for Romulan clothing.
Most Rihannsu males wear pants or slacks that are cut close to the body, and either soft shoes or boots. At formal occasions the house uniform may be worn unless the Rihanha is in the military, in which case a standard issue uniforms would be worn. Tunics and robes are a common form of casual wear among the Rihannsu people. Most Rihannsu woman wear the same styles as men but generally have a tendency towards more free-flowing garb. Dresses or robes are not uncommon among Rihannsu females but females in military service basically wear the same uniforms that men do.
Both sexes often wear robes alone or hung open on top of other outfits. Rihannsu tend towards earth tones and darker shades of other colors. Bright or eye-catching clothing is uncommon and considered socially quite radical. Most clothes are simply designed and functional in nature and decoration, when present, is usually embroidered into the clothing.

If you are unsure as to what to wear to social situations, the rough guidelines at the beginning of this page will help you along.
Rihannsu clothing is primarily designed to be comfortable and to display the station of the wearer in society. While Rihannsu pay little attention to clothing beyond what it may describe officially about the wearer, unusual or overly ornate clothing may lower others' opinions of the Rihannsu wearing them. It is best to dress conservatively for more formal situations and to be cautious in your fashion selection.
