Description[?]:
| About Luthori: Luthori is accepted as the game's equivalent of England. The country's culture and political system is based on Victorian England and loosely on the Holy Roman Empire. It is staunchly royalist, conservative, and religious. Left-wing parties have historically performed badly in elections. The royal household is the House of Orange-Villayn, which also has claims on the Aldurian and Mordusian thrones. The monarchy is an integral aspect of Luthori having ruled between 2102-2131, 2145-2372, 2500-2563, 2586-2611, 2644-2796, 2813-3328, and from 3338 to the present day (3500s). Luthori is the home of the Holy Luthori Church. For most of Luthori's history it has been the official religion and church of the Holy Luthorian Empire and Alduria. It is a firmly Independent Confessional Church but accepts and includes Patriarchal rites. The church is based on the Church of England. Luthori also has a vast colonial empire which includes New Alduria, the Namvietian Empire, Talmorschland, Philipi, New Mordusia, the South Carinian Territories, and also has claims on parts of Beiteynu known as the Holy Commonwealth of Beiteynu and Yishelem. Regarding its politics there is usually a right-wing consensus with most if not all the parties belonging to the right. However, parties usually range from being social conservative to libertarian and everything in between. In addition, most if not all parties usually support the monarchy as republican parties are frowned upon and may even be considered treasonous. Ethnicity: Luthori is an extremely homogeneous country but also homes people from its colonies, its neighbours, and also some Hulstrians. • 95% Luthorians (90% White - based on English people, 5% Mixed race/Black - based mainly on Pakistanis/Indians and Africans) • 2% Hulstrians (Mainly white - based on German people, but with small numbers of Japanese people) • 1% Aldurians (White - based on French people) • 1% Beiteynuese (Based on Jews) • 1% Hobrazians (White/Mediterranean - based on Georgian people) Language: The official language of Luthori is Luthorian (English). • 99% Luthorian (English) • 15% Aldurian/Canrillaise (French) • 2% Hulstrian/Dundorfische and Gao-Showan (German and Japanese) • 1% Beiteynuese (Hebrew/Yiddish) • 1% Hobrazian (Georgian) Religion: The Holy Luthori Church has often been the state religion of Luthori and at times has also had compulsory membership. • 95% Holy Luthori Church (Anglican, based on the Church of England) • 3% Traditionalist Lutheran Church (Protestant) • 1% Hobrazian Orthodox Church (Catholic/Eastern Orthodox/Oriental Orthodox) • 1% Yeudism (Judaism) It is believed that up to 10% of the population does not follow any religion at all.

| Message | OOC: Matthus, if you support this just let me know below. Also, if there are any alterations you'd like me to make feel free to suggest them. I will put this to vote once I know whether parties with 0 seats/that may not vote can influence whether this will pass. I think it may need 2/3 of the parties to support it, but I am not sure, I will ask a mod tomorrow. |

| Message | OOC: It includes too much that is beyond the scope of a cultural protocol, thus will lead to unnecessary confusion in the future as to what is, and what is not, canon. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
