| PASSED: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=622571 MODERATION APPROVAL: http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=8606&start=1070#p156387 PREVIOUS PROTOCOLS: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=555370 --- N A T I O N A L - D E S C R I P T I O N & C U L T U R E The Dorvish identity is comprised of two ethnic groups Dorvish Dundorfians and Lormans, both are related to Dundorfians through migrations to Northern Dorvik which is often called Nordmark (or Northern Marches in Luthorian). The Lormans were the first ethnic group to permanently reside in Dorvik, they were a Proto-Dundorfian people that resides along the northern portion of Kirlawa and what is modern day Miktar and Kordusia, mostly along the western border. The Lorman language is a hybrid between Proto-Dundorfian and various Kerisian languages that mixed due to the presence of Kerisian raiders throughout the early periods of Artania. Dorvik is loosely based on the Kingdom of Prussia and partially the German Empire due to its influence in the Dundorfian Reich (and successive right-wing governments that dominated it) at times it has been reflective of a liberal Federal Republic of Germany, the Weimar Republic and Western Germany. Historically the Dorvish Kingdom played a leading role in the development of the military and military culture of the Empire. It was historically overtly Nationalist and left-wing ideologies were frowned upon, recent history has seen the rise of more left-wing movements, including Communist and Socialist. Dorvik has retained a wide-level of its military culture, though through several periods of its history it has been overlooked. Kordusia is based on Germanized Silesia due to influences from past Kerisian raids, Miktar is based heavily off of Eastern Prussia once again due to the influences from past Kerisian raids, Largonia (Layern) is based off Brunswick. Dorvan is based off of Schleswig-Holstein and Westmark (formerly Mothar) is based off of a Germanized Denmark. These are concepts to be kept in mind when playing politicians, or investing in the culture of the area. No, it does not mean that they are replicas or they speak the language in that area but it means that culturally that would be similar to those type of people. The Dorvish (namely proper Dorvish and Lorman) identify closely with their Volksdundorfische identity, they believe in aligning closely with other Volksdundorfische throughout the world and remain a proponent of Pan-Dundorfianism, while maintaining their nationalist attitude of Dorvik. The Volksdundorfische Cultural Association remains closely linked with leading politicians in the Dorvish nation and leading Volksdundorfische figures throughout the world. The nobility in Dorvik retained lot of prestige and power, Dorvik has at several times returned to a monarchy. In recent history the Dorvish nobility has been suppressed but they’ve continued to operate as business as usual as normal citizens, as they often have. They are still heavily involved in business, military and political leadership. The King's of Dorvik are ruled by the House of Faust-Essen, known as the House of Dorvik, if ever in the future I am gone, please drop me a PM on the forums (I have it set where I receive emails when I get PMs) and we can chat about using them.

| Message | Sozialdemokratische Partei Doviks (SPD): This seems to be a mix of Germanic and Belnelux historicism and politics that has been well researched. I do wonder if one can include the necessity of climate as a factor of culture, perhaps being less inclined for communalism. Volksdundorfische is, of course, a very interesting but historically difficult idea to roleplay with, given its terrible uses in actual Germanic history. I do like it from my party's social democratic perspective, however, because it forces my party leadership to contend with this nationalistic culture from a party leadership whose ideology is founded on materialism, not cultural foundations. Overall I support this cultural protocol. |

Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
