Description[?]:
| This bill is created in order to protect the Deltarian culture from radical and unrealistic changes, in conformity to game rules (cf. http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4374). In order to pass, it needs the support of 2/3 of all players with seats. BRIEF PRE-GAME HISTORY The ancestors of today's Deltarians originally lived in central Artania, around the territory of today's Luthori and Ikradon. In a series of events known as the Deltarian Migrations, the Deltarian people, by then having a culture resembling a combination of RL Vikings and Magyar tribes, moved to their current location, where they formed an empire under the rule of the Tokundian tribe. When the other Deltarian tribes rebelled against the Tokundians and expelled them, Deltaria was reformed as Great Deltaria, a descentralized monarchy that established a large colonial empire around Terra. Great Deltaria collapsed as a result of The Terror, a century-long civil war, which ended with the nations of Deltaria reuniting and forming modern Deltaria. CULTURE Deltarian culture is based on a number of RL Eastern European and Slavic cultures, and is Particracy's quintessential Slavophone nation. Deltaria is primarily based on the Tsardom of Russia, the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, the Romanian Principalities (Wallachia and Moldavia), Great Moravia, and the medieval Bulgarian and Serbian Empires. In addition, Deltaria also has influences from RL pre-Christian Scandinavia and Anglo-Saxon England. After several centuries of democratic and pro-Western governance, Deltaria has acquired a number of modern features, and has partially moved away from its older feudalistic culture. Throughout most of its in-game history, Deltaria has been ruled by aristocratic or czarist governments, and managed to conquer a number of nations on Terra, to which Deltaria still has claims. ETHNICITY -Delic = Slavic -Dunic = Germanic -Selucic = Romance -Jelbic = (collection of ethnicities, most of them speaking Jelbék, a conlang, and related languages, but in Deltaria it includes the Dissuwans, which are Hungarian) -Daralian = Slovak -Alazindian = Czech -Tokundian = Serb -Rodshyan = Russian -Kozaki = Ukranian -Ushalandan = Romanian -Dissuwan = Hungarian -Doron = Danish -Akigan = Anglo-Saxon -Majatran = Arab -Jelbék = (the ethnicity of Jelbania, which speaks a conlang called Jelbék, and has a roughly Middle-Eastern cultural character) -Yeudi = Jewish -Manoush = Roma ~Percentages of the Population~ Delic: 49% --Daralian: 53% --Alazindian: 44% --Tokundian: 2% --Trigunian (Rodshyan and Kozaki): 1% Dunic: 16% --Doron: 46% --Akigan: 54% Selucic: 14% --Ushalandan Jelbic: 13% --Dissuwan Other: 8% *Please note, these numbers, while not stagnate, should not fluctuate wildly. Large demographic changes should only occur with an extensive RP, and consent of all involved. LANGUAGE Daralian = Slovak Alazindian = Czech Ushalandan = Romanian Akigan = Old English Doron = Danish Dissuwan = Hungarian Yeudi = Hebrew Majatran = Arabic Jelbék = conlang Manoush = Romani Rodshya = Russian Kozak = Ukrainian Old Tokundian = Old Church Slavonic Manoush = Romani The most widely spoken languages in Deltaria are Daralian (in Darali), Alazindian (in Alazinder), Ushalandan (in Ushalande), Doron and Akigan (in Doron Akigo), and Dissuwan (in Dissuwa). Daralian, as the language of government, the military, and the upper class, has become a lingua franca, and is understood by most Deltarians. Old Tokundian, a dead language, is the official language of the Terran Patriarchal Church, and is sometimes used as a language of prestige (like Latin is used in RL Western countries). Tokundian, Rodshya, and Kozak are spoken by small minorities, but are understood by many Deltarians. RELIGION -Hosianism = Christianity -Terran Patriarchal Church = Traditionalist Catholicism + Slavic & Romanian mythology + Russian Orthodox Church -Selucian Patriarchal Church = Roman Catholic Church -Luthoran Church = Protestant, Lutheran -Apostolic Church of the East = Eastern Christianity (Eastern Orthodox Church + Oriental Orthodox Churches + Nestorian Churches) -Queranzariah = Sunni Islam -Abadism = Shia Islam -Yeudism = Judaism ~Percentages of the Population~ Terran Patriarchal Church: 83% Selucian Patriarchal Church: 5% Luthoran Church: 4% Apostolic Church of the East: 3% Queranzariah & Abadism: 2% Yeudism: 1% Irreligious: 1% Other: 1% *Please note, these numbers, while not stagnate, should not fluctuate wildly. Large demographic changes should only occur with an extensive RP, and consent of all involved. NAMING Characters should have mostly Eastern European, Danish, and Anglo-Saxon names, with a small number of Arabic and Hebrew names. It is advised that party names are in Slovak or another Deltarian language. |
