Description[?]:
| Kalistan Cultural Protocol In accordance with section 6 of the Game Rules (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6363#p90598), Kalistan is a "culturally protected" nation. Below is the cultural protocol which all players in the nation must abide. Throughout the document, the real-life equivalent is shown in brackets next to the in-game name. --OVERVIEW-- Kalistan is a nation of immigrants. The original stock of the Kalistani people were known as "Kalii" and seem to have arrived in Kalistan from what is now Likatonia. Kalistan then suffered significant cultural over run, first by Lodamese, and then Indralan conquerors, who added their own cultural influences to the stock. The nation was then conquered and colonized by Ikradonians. After the collapse of the Ikradonian Empire, Kalistan unified under the crown in Ananto and became the home of refugees, settlers and n'er-do-wells from across Terra, each group adding its own influence to the Kalistani stock. Today, Kalistan is a unique ethnicity, with flavors from all over the world, added by each successive wave of arrivals from foreign nations. --ETHNICITY-- Kalistan's approach to ethnicity can be compared to that of the United States in real life in that the concept on ethnicity is not often used. Most citizens consider themselves "Kalistani" and claim a variety of cultural backgrounds. For this reason, there are no restrictions on the names that are used for characters, provided that they are conform the Game Rules regarding real-life names. The main influences on Kalistani culture include » Luthori (British/English)- 29% » Pensio (Spanish)- 21% » Enskalan (Basque)- 17% » Istalian (Italian)- 10% » Canrillaise (French)- 8% » Narik (Dutch) 4% » Indralan (Chinese)-3% » Dundorfian (German)- 2% » Asli (West African)- 1% » Other- 5% --RELIGION-- » Society of Brethren (Quakerism)- 74% » No religion- 10% » Aurorian Patriarchal Church (Catholic)- 4% » Septentrine (Ultrajectine Old Catholics)- 3% » Yeudi (Judaism)- 3% » Ahmadism (Islam)- 2% » Daenism (Buddhism)- 1% » Other- 3% --LANGUAGE— The most common language spoken in Kalistan is North Seleyan Luthori (North American English). The primary dialect of NSL spoken in Kalistan is formally known as "Vrassan", but it is commonly referred to as "Kalistani Luthori" (Californian English). It is completely mutually intelligible with Standard Luthori, though there is significant idiomatic and pronunciation differences. Formal spelling conventions are also noticeably different. Most citizens speak an additional language such as Egelian (Spanish) or Enskaran (Basque). Egelian is the most common second language in Kalistan, and most people speak both Vrassan and Egelian competently. Egelian (Spanish) holds a special status particularly among the young and students who frequently appropriate slang terms into Vrassan. This incorporation is the source of much of the idiomatic diversity in Vrassan. Other popular languages spoke regionally in Kalistan are Canrillaise (French), especially in Ananto, Indralan (Chinese) in Suldanor, and Delic (Slavic) spoken in Vrassa. --INFORMATION/TOOLS-- Google translate: https://translate.google.co.uk/ Naming generators: http://www.behindthename.com/random/ http://fantasynamegenerators.com/#realNames Game Rules: http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6363 Cultural Protocols Index: http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6365 Particracy forum: http://forum.particracy.net/ |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
| Random quote: "A democracy that does not allow limits is not a democracy. Just as a limitless freedom is not freedom, but prevarication. Indeed, any theory of freedom worthy of this name is first of all a limit theory. If we extend the unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not willing to defend a tolerant society against the attacks of the intolerants, then the tolerants will be destroyed and the tolerance with them! Because, I ask to myself and ask you, given a certain system that we call democratic, which is today the best possible system to allow everyone to live freely and to be able to express their own thoughts, how can the same system admit attacks against its integrity? How can a system refuse the principle of the self-preservation? For this reason, to suppress the apologetics of thalerrism, it's for this reason that the exaltation of exegetes, principles, facts or methods of Thallerism and its anti-democratic aims does not constitute a violation of the freedom of manifestation of thought, but, on the contrary, the celebration of that freedom. The protection of the first premise on which a modern democratic system is based. And this premise must be safeguarded also and above all against itself and its abuses." ~ Malik Astori, Leadership of Liberty and Progress (Istalia) |
