Description[?]:
| I'll keep a copy of this bill http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=446464 on Kirlawa's main page as a guide. === === === === === === === === Cultural protocols for Kirlawa, updated 3900 (OOC 31 August 2015) ... also functioning as our cultural census of 3900. :) === === === === === === === === Ethnicity: Kirlawa has received many immigrants from all over the world throughout the centuries; but by far the most prevalent ethnicity -- the first thing that comes to mind for many people in the world when they think of "a Kirlawan" ethnically -- is Enlii ( = Anglo-Celtic); a term which encompasses Celda, Luthori, or especially mixtures thereof ( = Celtic, English, or mixtures thereof). This accounts for over two-thirds of Kirlawans. (The term Enlii was introduced by Kalistan at http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=444312 ) Kirlawan ethnicity census: 40% Celda ( = Celtic; also includes Enlii ( = mixed Anglo-Celtics) who consider themselves closer to Celda) >>> 28% Kilani ( = Irish) >>> 8% Draddwyr / Alorian ( = Welsh; Aloria is our western neighbour) >>> 4% Celdorian ( = Scottish) 30% Luthori / North Artanian ( = English; also includes Enlii ( = mixed Anglo-Celtics) who consider themselves closer to Luthori) 6% Kazulian ( = Nordic) 4% Istalian ( = Italian) 4% Barmenian ( = Persian, Azeri, Turkish) 4% Gao-Showa ( = East Asian) >>> 2% Kunihito ( = Japanese) >>> 1% Sekowan ( = Ryukyuan) >>> 1% Kyo ( = Korean) 3% Kundrati (our southeastern neighbour) 2% Hutori ( = Canadian) 1% Endralonian ( = Hungarian and/or Croatian) 1% Dundorfian ( = German; Dundorf is our southwestern neighbour) 5% other, and/or very mixed, ethnicity Special note regarding our Barmenians (this ties together ethnicity, language, and religion): The overwhelming majority of Kirlawans of Barmenian ancestry, are of Felinist (or Pagan) religion -- having arrived here as refugees, after having fled Barmenia during a time when a regime there had been violently oppressing and persecuting Felinists. :( According to Barmenia's guide to character names, http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=429301 Barmenian clans tend to be segregated by religion. Virtually all Barmenians in Kirlawa would accordingly be from the Pagan/Felinist clans, and so would have names reflecting such. === === === === === === === === Language: Luthori ( = English) is the lingua franca (or rather the "lingua anglica", sorry!) ;) of Kirlawa. Kilani ( = Irish Gaelic) is the most prevalent of the minority languages. Three-quarters of Kirlawans speak Luthori as their first language; and an overwhelming majority (98+%) can speak it to at least some degree, as either a first, second, or third language. Primary or first language of Kirlawans: 75% Luthori ( = English) 11% Kilani ( = Irish Gaelic) 5% Draddwyr / Alorian ( = Welsh) 2% Celdorian ( = Scottish Gaelic) 2% Istalian ( = Italian) 2% Brmék (a conlang, spoken in Barmenia; details are available at Barmenia's page at http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=365272 ) 1% Kazulian ( = Nordic) 1% Kunikata ( = Japanese) 1% other languages "Official Languages of Kirlawa" RP bill http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=446243 Our nation's province names and city names have gloriously stood for millennia; and we declare our national culture/language to be such, that these names are to be considered permanently compatible with it. === === === === === === === === Religion: Kirlawa's religious scene is primarily a roughly equal, and peaceful, three-way mix of Hosian ( = Christian), Secular, and Pagan. Kirlawan religion census: 37% Hosian ( = Christian) >>> 22% Aurorian Church (the Holy Apostolic Hosian Church of Terra; = Catholic Church) >>> >>> 21% Selucian Rite ( = Roman Catholic Church) >>> >>> 1% other Rites >>> 10% Bishopal ( = Anglican or Episcopalian) >>> 3% Veritan / Almighty Path (an indigenous religious movement in Kirlawa, originating over a millennium and a half ago) >>> 1% Society of Brethren ( = Quaker; founded in our neighbour Aloria) >>> 1% other Hosian 33% Secular / no religion 25% Pagan (nature worship, etc.) >>> 5% Felinism (Cult of the Sacred Feline; a cat-centred religious movement that had originated in Barmenia) >>> 20% other Pagan 4% Daenism ( = Buddhism). Some also practise Kamism ( = Shinto) alongside. 1% other religions Religion discussion and arrangement bill, from when Particracy's religions were renamed: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=346816 === === === === === === === === Particracy's other nations have cultures too!
