Description[?]:
| About Dundorf: Dundorf is widely accepted as Particracy's equivalent of Germany. It has strong communist and socialist tendencies and has in many parts of its history mimicked the German Democratic Republic (former East Germany). However, like Germanic countries in real-life it has, at times, also been supportive of the far-right. For some parts of its history it has been under the rule of a monarch and has two royal households - the House of Rommel and the House of Hohenstauffen - and the House of Rommel is recognised by the International Monarchist League as the legitimate claimants of the Dundorfian throne. Despite this, for the most part Dundorf has been a republic. Dundorf is home of the Confessional Ameliorate Church of Dundorf, a Protestant church and the first Ameliorate Church in the world. Despite this, for long periods Dundorf has been under communist and socialist rule (as the Dundorfische Demokratische Republik, modelled on East Germany) which has resulted in a fiercely secular population with many people choosing not to be religious. Indeed, many Dundorfians choose to worship their leaders or the state instead of a religion. Dundorf also had a colonial period between 1880 and 1928. Dundorf controlled a puppet government in Badara under the leadership of Sultan of Al'Badara. During this time Badara was known as the Badarenprotektorat. This accounts for the Badaran/Majatran minority in Dundorf. Regarding the political scene, the country is usually polarised and is usually split between supporters of the far-left and supporters of the far-right. Dundorf has had three bloody civil wars between supporters of the left and supporters of the right. Ethnicity: Dundorf is a relatively homogeneous country but has a small Badaran/Majatran population as a result of immigration into Dundorf from when Badara was informally controlled by Dundorf during the brief Badarenprotektorat during the late-1800s. Some Duntrekkers also remain in the country, or have returned from Saridan. A small number of Hobrazians migrated to Dundorf during its socialist (Dundorfische Demokratische Republik) period to study communism and socialism at its universities and have remained ever since. Over the centuries many Badarans, Duntrekkers and Hobrazians have assimilated to the Dundorfian culture. • 91% Dundorfian • 4% Badaran/Majatran • 2% Duntrekker • 2% Hobrazian • 1% Others Note: Dundorfian = German, Badaran/Majatran = Arab, Duntrekker = Afrikaner, Hobrazian = Georgian Language: The official language of Dundorf is Dundorfian. However, there are three minor languages that are spoken in Dundorf: Majatran, Duntrekaans, and Hobrazian. • 95% Dundorfian • 6% Majatran • 2% Duntrekaans • 2% Hobrazian Note: Dundorfian = German, Majatran = Arabic, Duntrekaans = Afrikaans, Hobrazian = Georgian Religion: The Dundorfian people are fiercely secular and have a history of being irreligious. After being banned for decades in the late 40th and early 41st centuries the influence of religion dropped sharply, making Dundorf one of the least religious nations in the world. About 78% of the population are atheists. Those that are religious are primarily Hosian and followers of the Confessional Ameliorate Church of Dundorf, although the Badarans/Majatrans are strong believers of Queranzariah. Some of the Hobrazian minority are followers of the Hobrazian Orthodox Church while the ancient native Hobrazian religion of Hobaism is virtually extinct. • 17% Confessional Ameliorate Church of Dundorf (Luthoran) • 78% No Religion • 4% Queranzariah • 1% Hobrazian Orthodox Church (Patriarchal) Note: Confessional Ameliorate Church of Dundorf (Luthoran) = Protestant, Queranzariah = Islam, Hobrazian Orthodox Church (Patriarchal) = Catholic/Eastern Orthodox Guidelines: • The names of political parties should be in Dundorfian (German) • The primary ethnicity of Dundorf is Dundorfian (German), thus most character names must be Germanic • A small number of Majatran (Arabic), Duntrekker (Afrikaner), and Hobrazian (Georgian) names may be acceptable |

| Message | I changed the percentages for ethnicity, language according to the proposal accepted in the other thread. In the case of religion I made some slight changes (I realised that the percentages didn't add up to 100%, my bad). I also made slight changes to the text reflecting these changes. Please read the text carefully and state your opinion. Before I move this to the voting stage I will wait until at least two more players signal their agreement. |

| Message | A ban on religion doesn't mean that everyone stops being religious. It just means that religious institutions and public practice of religion are banned. |

| Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
