Description[?]:
| About Luthori: Luthori is accepted as the game's equivalent of England. The country's culture and political system is based on Victorian England. It is staunchly royalist, conservative, and moderate religious. Left-wing parties have historically performed badly in elections. The royal household is the House of Adlerberg-Villayn. The monarchy is an integral aspect of Luthori having ruled between 2102-2131, 2145-2372, 2500-2563, 2586-2611, 2644-2796, 2813-3328, and from 3338 to the early 3800's and from 3881 and forward. (Today is mid 3900's) Luthori is the home of the Holy Luthori Church. For most of Luthori's history it has been the official religion and church of the Holy Luthorian Empire and Alduria. It is a firmly Independent Confessional Church but accepts and includes Patriarchal rites. The church is based on the Church of England (with a conservative, high-church branch, a liberal, high-church branch and an evangelical, low-church branch.). Luthori had a vast colonial empire which included New Alduria, the Namvietian Empire, Talmorschland, Philipi, New Mordusia, the South Carinian Territories, and also had claims on parts of Beiteynu known as the Holy Commonwealth of Beiteynu and Yishelem. Many colonies are today lost and the Empire is by many seen as fallen. Regarding its politics there is usually a centre to centre-right-wing consensus with most if not all the parties belonging to the centre and to the right. However, parties usually range from being social conservative to libertarian and everything in between. In addition, most if not all parties usually support the monarchy as republican parties are rare and have sometimes been considered treasonous. Though in the past Parties of Left-Wing Idealogy have been able to secure power in Luthori, though mostly by the time they achieve stable power they have moved closer to the centre and became Monarchists. In the recent times a few shifts that, all together, seem like they deserve to not even be close to each other. For example, for 4 years to parties, one Communist and one Fascist, rules the nation almost as one. Banning interracial relations and nationalising the economy, enforcing Worker Democracy on all parts of the economy. It was not to long after the fall of both parties that politics when back to its norms, general Right-wing Monarchist rule. Though, as of late, with the rise of Left-Wing and Progressive Monarchists a new trend has tooken place. Most right-wing parties support abolishing the Monarchy, at least those of note. While the Progrssives support a Constitutional Monarchy. Ethnicity: Luthori is a homogeneous country but also homes people from former colonies, its neighbours, and a strong group of nobility with foreign roots since long back in history. • 83% Luthorians (90% White - based on English people, 5% based on swedish/north german nobility, 5% based on Indians/Pakistans) • 3.5% Beiteynuese (Based on Jews) • 4.5% Hulstrians (Mainly white - based on German people) • 4% Ibuthoians (Based on Zulu people) • 2% Badaran (Based on Arabs) • 2% Aldurians (White - based on French people) • 1% Hobrazians (Based on Georgian people) Language: The official language of Luthori is Luthorian (English). • 99% Luthorian (English) • 5% Aldurian/Canrillaise (French) • 5% Hulstrian/Dundorfische (German) • 3% Beiteynuese (Hebrew/Yiddish) • 1,5% Badaran (Arabic) Religion: The Holy Luthori Church has often been the state religion of Luthori and at times has also had compulsory membership. • 79% Holy Luthori Church and of that 10% liberal hosianism (Anglican, based on the Church of England) • 9.5% Atheists • 3.5% Traditionalist Lutheran Church (Protestant) • 1% Hobrazian Orthodox Church (Catholic/Eastern Orthodox/Oriental Orthodox) • 1% Yeudism (Judaism) It is believed that up to 15% of the population does not follow any religion at all, but some are still members in the official State Church, many thanks to the more liberal oriented hosianism that is found in mainly Utagia and Orange.

| Message | I don't think they need to change that much. We actually never had that much left wing dominance and for awhile you were shut out of cabinets for many, many months. It's only recently we had such a constant shift. |

| Message | "Most right-wing parties support abolishing the Monarchy, at least those of note." Is this line really accurate? |
| Date | 01:34:52, December 05, 2016 CET | From | Freeborn Luthorians/Freeborn Coalition | To | Debating the Cultural proticols discussion |
| Message | I thought/think it is. The Republicans, populists, I suppose it really isn't any more. But the New Monarchist trend is worth mentioning. Maybe we can strike this one down and I'll rewrite it while removing that. How does that sound? |

| Random fact: When it comes to creating a Cultural Protocol in a Culturally Open nation, players are not necessarily required to provide a plausible backstory for how the nation's cultural background developed. However, the provision of a plausible backstory may be a factor in whether Moderation approves the Cultural Protocol if players in surrounding nations question its appropriateness for their region of the game map. |
