Description[?]:
| As the Official Cultural Protocols need to be approved by May 2016 this bill seeks to reaffirm our existing culture to those ends. The current Cultural Protocol for Beiteynu - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=346077 And the Cultural Protocols for our neighbours, Pontesi - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=426981 and Barmenia - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=427411 as they will have a significant influence on Beiteynu and its minority populations. ==Cultural Protocols== This bill is created in order to protect Beiteynu from radical and unrealistic changes, in conformity to game rules (cf. http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4374). Properly passed: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=429040 Based on and updated from previous version: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=346077 ==Source Material== Illustrated Catalogue of Religion - http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Illustrated_Catalogue_of_Religion Beiteynu Cultural Protocols 3306 - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=346077 Pontesi Cultural Protocols - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=426981 Barmenia Cultural Protocols - http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=427411 ==Culture== Beiteynu has a religious Yeudish (Jewish) majority, with Hosian (Christian) and Ahmadi (Muslim) minorities. Shultzism also developed as a liberal fusion of Yeudism, Hosianism and Ahmadism, and has a small following in Beiteynu, particularly in urban areas. In terms of ethnicity Beiteynu has a Yeudish (Jewish) majority with minorities of Beta Yishelem (Black Jews), Luthorians, Seleucians, Pntek, Brmek, Majatrans, Arev Mardik and Kathurans. As such Beiteynu can be roleplayed as a multicultural nation and is open to parties of all religious faiths and none, but it must be remembered that Beiteynu was founded as a Yeudish state, but is also the historic home of Hosianism, having been founded here in the first century CE. Beiteynu is based on modern Israel, with influence from modern Europe and North America and cultural influence from others nations in the Middle East. Beiteynu has a varied political culture and at times, Zionists, Conservatives, Socialists and Hosians have dominated with the country switching between democratic and non-democratic periods. ==Terminology== The terminology below provides useful RL examples of the various religious and ethnic groups in Beiteynu. ETHNICITY- Yeudis= Jews, mostly Qedarites(semitic)/Artanian(European), but including; -- Beta Yishelem = Black Jews Selucians = Romans Luthorians = British Jelbics = Central Asians / Eurasian Steppe Peoples -- Brmek = Brmék-speaking Jelbics, with Semitic and Persian influences -- Pntek = Pnték-speaking Jelbics with hints of Armenian traditions Majatrans = Arabs Arev Mardik (Minority in Pontesi) = Armenians Kathurans (Minority in Barmenia) = Assyrians/Syriacs/Arameans/Chaldeans Other - A mix of individuals from various countries that have migrated to Beiteynu. Probably smaller than reality, but it is likely that those from minor ethnic groups may have been absorbed into the larger ethnic groups, hence Artanians into the Luthorians, or other Jelbic peoples into the Pntek and Brmek. Yeudish immigrants from Terra are easily absorbed into the Yeudish ethnic group. RELIGION Illustrated Catalogue of Religion - http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Illustrated_Catalogue_of_Religion Yeudism = Judaism Hosianism = Christianity -Apostolic Church of the East = (Eastern Rite), which consists of; --- Hobrazian Orthodox Church = Armenian rite --- Barmenian Apostolic Church = Eastern Rite Churches - Selucian Patriarchal Church = Roman Catholic rite - Holy Luthori Church = Anglican Rite - Oseyim (Ebionite) = http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Oseyim - Other = Terran and Theognosian Patriarchal Churches Shultzism = A liberal fusion of Yeudaism, Hosianism and Ahmadism - http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Terran_Union_for_Schultzism Ahmadism = Islam -- Queranzariah/Israism = Sunni -- Abadism = Shia Other - A mix of very minor religions, or of those with no religion. ==Brief History== Beiteynu is a nation in north-western Majatra that has historically been the centre of the Yeudish faith in Terra (please see http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Yeudism ). The Yeudish people arrived in the area in around 500 BCE, following the revelations received by Ariel in Cildania that led to the development of Yeudism (please see http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/History_of_Majatra and http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/History_of_Beiteynu ). The Yeudish people maintained a territorial independence in an area that covers modern Beiteynu until the 1500’s when the area was absorbed into the Pontesian Empire, before reasserting independence again in the 1960’s. This period led to the exodus of many Yeudish people to other areas in Terra. From 2823-2863 the ( http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Kingdom_of_Yishelem ) was established in Beiteynu by Hosian Crusaders from Luthori, Deltaria and other areas. This led to an unflux of settlers from Luthori and other areas of Terra, altering the population and increasing the Hosian population. Despite its history of foreign oppression Beiteynu has retained a largely Yeudish ethnic and religious majority. ==ETHNICITY== The country is confirmed as a majority Yeudi nation. The non-“Majatran” colonial population from Luthori and Seleucia continues to exist, but also continues its decline, we are now many centuries away from the Kingdom of Yishalem. The Jelbic population is confirmed as the largest minority group, albeit can be broken down further into Pntek and Brmek ethnic groups. Black Yeudis are still counted as the Beta Yishalem, although their share of the population has declined as they continue to be absorbed into the mainstream Yeudi community. Minorities of Arev Mardik are broken out from the Pntek population, and minorities of Kathurans are broken out from the Brmek population. General “Majatrans” exists as an almost exclusively Ahmadi grouping, perhaps why they continue to describe themselves as Majatrans rather than one of the more specific ethnic groups. Yeudis – 61% - Equally spread out around Beiteynu. Jelbics – 15% -- Pntek – 10% - Mostly in Tadraki with a minority in Endild and other provinces. -- Brmek – 5% - Concentrated in Padrilka and Quo'gun. Luthorians – 6% - Mostly in coastal and urban areas, particular concentration in Endild historically. Beta Yishalem – 6% - Mostly in urban areas. Majatrans – 5% - Mostly in urban areas especially Endild and Fruskila (ie seperate from Brmek Muslims) Seleucians – 3% - Mostly in coastal and urban areas. Arev Mardik – 1% - Mostly in Tadraki Kathurans – 1% - Mostly in Quo'gun and Padrilka. Other – 2% - Mostly in coastal and urban areas. - Note, all figures rounded to nearest whole figure. ==RELIGION== Religion closely responds to ethncitiy. Most Yeudis and Beta Yishamelm are religious Yeudis, however some also belong to the liberal Shultzism, and others declare no religion. The Hosians are the largest minority religious group, however these can be broken down into further denominations based on ethnicity, for an overview please see below. Most Majatrans and Brmek identify as Ahmadis, and then there are a number of minor religions, or persons of no faith recorded in the Cultural Protocal. Yeudism – 59% Hosianism – 23% -- Apostolic Church of the East (Patriarchal Church Eastern Rite) – 12% ----Hobrazian Orthodox Church – 9% (Largely Pntek, but also the Arev Mardik) ----Barmenian Apostolic Church – 3% (Brmek and Kathurans and a very small number of ethnic Yeudis.) -- Holy Luthori Church – 5% (Luthori’s) -- Seleucian Patriarchal Church – 4% (Seleucians and a minority of Pntek/Brmek) -- Oseyim - 1% -- Other – 1% (Including the Terran (Deltarian Rite) and Theognosian (Canrillaise Rite) Patriarchal Churches) Ahmadism – 9% -- Queranzariah/Israism 7% (Evenly split between Majatran and Brmek) -- Abadi – 2% (Evenly split between Majatran and Brmek) Shultzism – 2% Other/None – 7% - Note, all figures rounded to nearest whole figure. ==LANGUAGE== Primary Language, as spoken at home: - Yeudi 65% - Luthori 13% - Pntek/Brmek 13% - Seleucian 4% - Majatran 3% - Other 2% Languages Spoken, most Beiteynu can communicate in Yeudi, with Luthori having emerged as the primary second language. Canrillaise was once a common language, but continues its decline. - Yeudi 95% - Luthori 50% - Pntek/Brmek 20% - Canrillaise 15% - Seleucian 10% - Majatran 10% - Other 5% - Note, all figures rounded to nearest whole figure. |
