Description[?]:
BRIEF PRE-GAME HISTORY The indigenous inhabitants of Jelbania were the proto-Jelbics, a nomadic culture which ranged across the entirety of the modern Jelbanian, Vanukuan, Barmenian, Pontesian and Deltarian nations. The Jelbics are based on an amalgam of nomadic Eurasian cultures such as the Tatars, Turkics, Mongols and Finno-Ugrics, and their modern descendants speak Jelbék, a conlang devised solely for the PT world. Barmenian, Vanukan, and Pontesian Jelbics speak their own distinct versions of the language, the primary difference being the source of loan-words. The Deltarian Dissuwan people speak Dissuwan (RL: Hungarian), which is linguisticly seperate but heavily influenced by Jelbék in terms of game history. In the 39th century Jelbaniens were repatriated to southern Seleya by a Jelbek nationalist government, altering the demographics considerably. CULTURE Jelbania was once multicultural, with citizens forming two major cultures ; Jelbék and Jelbanien, recent events (repatriation of Jelbaniens).have turned it into one of the more homogenous countries in Terra. Considerable numbers of Majatransand Deltarians remain as the largest minoriities in the country. Jelbéks consist of the minority Steppe Jelbék (or Traditional-Living Jelbék), who are a largely a pastoral and nomadic people, bound by strict traditions, clan loyalties and cultural taboos. The majority of Jelbék are Settled Jelbék (or Urbanised Jelbék), who live in the townships and cities, and have a culture vaguely similar to the Central Asian nations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, etc. Steppe Jelbéks are often romanticised and idealised by Settled Jelbéks. Jelbaniens are largely urbanised and more educated and cosmopolitan than their Jelbék neighbours. They form two major groups, the Luthori (English) speakers and Canrillaise (French) speakers. Throughout history they've often held political dominance over the Jelbék, despite being a minority population. They also tend not to idealise Steppe Jelbék quite so much, often considering them backwards, uneducated, unsophisticated, superstitious and clannish. ETHNICITY Jelbék = Jelbék-speaking Central Asians / Eurasian Steppe Peoples Jelbanien = English or French-speaking White Europeans Majatran = Arab Deltarian = stereotypical mix of various Slavic, Eastern European, and Ancient Germanic ethnicities ~Percentages of the Population~ 82% Jelbék 8% Majatrans 4% Deltarians 3% Jelbanien 3% Other LANGUAGE Jelbék = The Jelbék conlang, no IRL analogue. Check the Jelbék dictionary bill (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=387061) for details Luthori = English Canrillaise = French Majatran = Arabic Daralian = Slovak RELIGION Hosianism = Christianity Terran Patriarchal Church = Medieval Catholicism + Slavic Mythology + Russian Orthodox Church Ahmadiyya = Islam Queranzariah = Sunni Abadism = Shia Tanhrism - traditional Jelbek religion comprised of sky-worship and shamanism ~Percentages of the Population~ Ahmadism: 65% -- Queranz: 45% -- Abadi: 20% Hosianism: 14% -- Terran Patriarchal Church: 12% -- Other Hosian: 2% Irreligious: 12% Tanhrism: 6% Other: 3% NAMING Characters should have mostly Jelbék names for Jelbék parties, English or French for Jelbanien parties, or a mix of Jelbék and Deltarian names for pro-Deltarian parties. Parties that reject ethnic and nationalist lines should take a mix of names that reflect their goals and stances. It is advised that party names are mostly in Jelbék. |
