Description[?]:
| This survey will attempt to establish the ethnic composition of Athlorcaea. The original name of this country was the "Hutori Federation," which somehow got bastardized into "Kingdom of Hutori," when "Hutori" is obviously intended as an adjective in the original. Therefore, the main ethnic group of the country should be called "Hutors." Let's make them the majority ethnic group, say 64%. I just made that number completely up and there is no need to try to figure out how I calculated it. Looking over the history of the country, we can also see Dutch and Jewish influences. Let's set these at 9% and 13%, respectively. We'll also assume that our neighbors, the Davostanis, who occupied us for a time, have left some of their people behind and we'll assign them 8% of the population. There will also be a substantial Telamonese population, as they are our other neighbor. In the below chart (read comments too), I've included the traditional religion, even if the current makeup is wildly different. Hutors 58% (Lutheran) Jews 11% (Jewish) Mashacara 10% (Aboriginal) Dutchmen 8% (Lutheran) Davostanis 7% (Catholic) Telamonese 4% (Orthodox/Lutheran) Other 2% This will be open for comment until 2710. |

| Message | There was a large native population before it was colonised by the Lutherans. They were called the Mashacara and lived mainly in Adelia, where there are still many ruins of their cities. (similar to the Aztecs and the Mayans). Either they, or a group that mixed with them, should be added as well, similar to most Mexicans, who are a mix of Spanish and Native Americans. |

| Message | We can assume that most Hutors are of partial Mashacara heritage, but I've also included them in the survey. |

| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
