In a series of events known as the Deltarian Migrations, the Deltarian people moved to their current location, where they formed an empire under the rule of the Tokundian tribe. When the other Deltarian tribes rebelled against the Tokundians and expelled them, Deltaria was reformed as Great Deltaria, a decentralized monarchy that established a large colonial empire around Terra. Great Deltaria collapsed as a result of the Terror, a century-long civil war, which ended with the nations of Deltaria reuniting and forming modern Deltaria. In the modern period Deltaria has existed both as a republic and as a Czarist monarchy. After several centuries of democratic and pro-Western governance, Deltaria has acquired a number of modern features and has partially moved away from its older feudalistic culture. --ETHNICITY-- Deltaria has a South Slavic and Balkan culture, but also includes many broader Slavic and Eastern European cultural elements. Most Slavic and Eastern European nations in Particracy were once Deltarian colonies. Most Deltarians belong to the Delic group of ethnicities, based on the Slavic people. This group includes the closely related Tokundian (Serbian) and Alazindian (Croat) people who speak different standards of the same Deltarian language (Serbo-Croatian), as well as smaller minorities of Daralian (Slovenian) and Delvarian (Macedonian) people. The Disuvan people (Bulgarians) were not historically considered Delic in spite of their native language, as a result of their ancient Jelbic (Eurasian steppe) culture. The Ushalandan people (Romanians) form a large minority. They speak a Selucic (Romance) language, but one heavily influenced by the neighbouring Delic languages. There are also significant minorities of Dorons (Goths), Manoush (Roma), and Watembo (Swahili) people. Delic- 61% --Alazindian (Croat)- 29% --Disuvan (Bulgarian)- 11% --Tokundian (Serb)- 10% --Daralian (Slovene)- 9% --Delvarian (Macedonian)- 2% Ushalandan (Romanian)- 20% Doron (Gothic)- 5% Manoush (Roma)- 5% Watembo (Swahili)- 4% Other- 5% --RELIGION-- The major religious institution in Deltaria has traditionally been the Terran Patriarchal Church, which is led by Pápež (who is the Bishop of Čachtice, the Deltarian capital). » Hosianism (Christianity)- 66% --Terran Patriarchal Church (Eastern Orthodox Church with aspects of Slavic mythology and paganism)- 59% --Apostolic Church of the East (Oriental Orthodox Churches)- 4% --Aurorian Patriarchal Church (Roman Catholic Church)- 3% » Irreligion- 29% » Other- 5% --LANGUAGE-- The most widely spoken language in Deltaria is the Deltarian language (Serbo-Croatian). It is a pluricentric language with two standard varieties, Tokundian (Serbian) and Alazindian (Croatian). It is written in both the Tokundian (Cyrillic) and Selucian (Latin) alphabets. Deltarian also serves as the lingua franca of the entire nation. There are several other Delic (Slavic) languages spoken in Deltaria, all of them closely related to Deltarian. The Ushalandan (Romanian), Doron (Gothic), Manoush (Romani), and Kitembo (Swahili) languages are spoken by their respective ethnic group. Despite being a dead language, Old Tokundian (Old Church Slavonic) retains a notable role in Deltarian society due to its role as the liturgical language of the Terran Patriarchal Church and widespread use to communicate prestige. --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=4&t=8088#p137060 Cultural Protocols Index: http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6365 Particracy forum: http://forum.particracy.net/ |
