Throughout this document, brackets are used to highlight real-life equivalents of in-game terms. πππππππ Indralan history can be split into four periods: pre-historic, ancient, colonial, and modern. The first people to settle Indrala were Gao-Showans from mainland Dovani. Prior to the 150 CE, they created the Kingdoms of Mesing and Gemu-Teng. From their downfall to the 950, the island was split between local rulers. In 950, Liu Ji became the first person to unite the entire island under single rule, as the Great Xinhan Empire. The United Commonwealth later repeated this feat. From 1794 to 1938, Indrala was governed by Aloria, as a protectorate and dominion. A communist revolution overthrew the colonists and led to centuries of republican rule. In 2875, the island became a monarchy and has largely been one since. More information can be on the wiki: (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/History_of_Indrala) ππππππππππππ: πππππππππ Β» Indralan/Ethnic Indralan (Han Chinese) - 82% Β» Kyo (Korean) - 5% Β» Dinh (Vietnamese) - 3% Β» Bianjie (Manchu) - 3% Β» Phra (Thai) - 2% Β» Kunikata (Japanese) - 2% Β» Utari (Ainu) - 1% Β» Other - 2% Indralans (Han Chinese), sometimes called ethnic Indralans to differentiate them from the nationality, are the dominant ethnic group in the country. They are the descendants of the first people to settle on the island of Indrala. There are sizable minorities of Dinh (Vietnamese), Phra (Thai), Bianjie (Manchu) and Utari (Ainu) people who migrated to the country from their homelands when they were colonised by Indrala. Similarly, the Kyo (Korean) and Kunikata (Japanese) minority groups have grown significantly in the modern era as a result of political instability in Dovani, and an open door refugee policy in Indrala. ππππππππππππ: ππππππππ Indralan (Zhongyuan Mandarin Chinese) is the most widely spoken language in Indrala. Minority populations often speak their own native languages in addition to Indralan, proportional to population size. In modern society children are often taught a foreign language, most notably Luthorian (English) due to its commercial and political dominance, but also Kunikata (Japanese) or Kyo (Korean). Indralan's written form comprises numerous pictographic characters (traditional Chinese characters). A more historic version of the language, Classical Indralan, is primarily used in the government, including in all government documents, and higher education - although all official government releases are in both contemporary Indralan and Classical Indralan. ππππππππππππ: ππππππππ Β» Jienism (Confucianism) / Guidao (Chinese folk religion) - 84% Β» Daenism (Buddhism): β β β³ZenshΕ (Zen)- 4% β β β³Other- 3% Β» Irreligious/Atheism- 6% Β» Other- 3% Most Indralans practise a mixture of Jienism (Confucianism) and Guidao (Chinese folk religion). The latter has been a part of Indralan society since the Kingdom of Mesing while Jienism emerged around 770 from the teachings of Jienshi and incorporated aspects of traditional religion. For centuries, the Jienist philosophy has been central to Indralan society and in times of monarchy the religion is led by the Son of Heaven, who is always the Emperor of Indrala. Daenism (Buddhism), especially ZenshΕ (Zen), has been associated with the radical political ZenshΕ Socialism. As a result, adherents were targeted by the Indralan government for many years. Other religions are practised in smaller numbers. This may include other Daenist (Buddhist) sects, Seodongyo (Korean syncretic faith) and several varieties of Hosianism (Christianity). Most Hosians (Christians) in Indrala are adherents/members of the Auroran Patriarchal Church (Catholics). πππππππππ ππππππ Character names should be based on a reasonable interpretation of the ethnic breakdown above, i.e. primarily Indralan (Han Chinese) with a small number of minority characters. Ideally, party names should be formatted βTraditional Chinese characters (English translation)β however this is not binding and simply a request. πππππ ππ πππππ Wiki: http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Indrala Forum Newspaper: http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7351 Translation: https://translate.google.com Naming tools: http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/chinese_names.php#.WjRYrbQ-dZ0 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 |
