Description[?]:
| WIP This bill is created in order to protect the Jakanian culture from radical and unrealistic changes, in conformity to game rules (cf. http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4374 BRIEF PRE-GAME HISTORY The cultural identity of Jakania is primarily an Arab based nation with characteristics of instability as found in many Arab nations. A full detailed history of Majatra (the continent you are currently on) can be found here: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/History_of_Majatra and a history of Jakania can be found here: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/History_of_Jakania BRIEF CULTURAL OVERVIEW Traditionally there have been two competing ethnic groups in Jakania: Majatran (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Majatrans) and Turjaks (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Turjak_people) which are separated in a number of ethnic and religious ways. Turjaks were once the dominant group in Jakania but as the centuries wore on, Majatrans (mainly Arab persons) migrated here and pushed Turjaks into the minority. Usually the difference in ethnic Majatrans dominate in the urban areas while rural and poorer areas still have large numbers of Turjaks that dominate local and tribal politics. The differences are also religious as Majatrans are uniformly Ahamdi (Muslims; http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Ahmadism), specifically following the branch of Israism (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Israism) while most Turjaks are Abadi (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Abadi) with a substantial minority being a part of Hosian (Christian; http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Hosianism), more specifically part of the Apostolic Church of the East (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Apostolic_Church_of_the_East). However the past two hundred years have brought a large number of ethnic changes which has altered the nature of Jakanian demographics. After nearly two centuries of Luthori (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Holy_Luthori_Empire) coloinzation, large numbers of expatriates and businessmen came from all over Artania to take advantage of the exploitative nature of the colonial government which was subservient. As a consequence a large number of Luthorian, Augustan and Deltarian people now live in the country and dominate upper echelon of society in business, government, military, and politics. Partnered with the Turjak minority, the groups regularly align with each other to keep the Majatran majority disenfranchised from exercising true power.

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
