| Link to the Game Rules: http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6363 Link to the Cultural Protocols Index: http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6365 The culture of Hutori is outlined below; BACKGROUND HISTORY The nation state of Hutori was originally founded as a colony of the Holy Luthori Empire and is considered the Particracy equailivent of Canada, in terms of demographics, geography, culture and natural resources. Playing into this throughout history there has been high levels of immigration to Hutori resulting in a wide array of ethnic minority populations from historical Hutorian policy of mass multi-culturism. There is also a large indigenous 'Mashacara' population who are based upon the Native American culture in early Canadian and North American history. The interactions between the Federal government and the Mashacara tribes recently has been similar to that of the French and the Natives, allowing the Natives to thrive and be included as equals within society. While not put on Reservations like in RL Canada or the United States, each Province of Hutori has a unique Mashacara tribe that serves as the primary minority within the province. PEOPLE OF HUTORI Hutori is an ethnically diverse nation, compromised of the following ethnic groups, Hutorians 65% (Americans/Canadians/Australians) Mashacara 10% (Canadian Aboriginal/Indigenous mix, between Iroquois, Mik'maq, Inuit) Seleyan: 7% (Americans, Persians [Aldegarians]) Macon: 6% (Icelandic & Swedish) Majatran [Barmenian & Ponetsian Jelbeks]: 4% (Turko-Persians & Kurdish) Artanian: 4% (Western European) Other: 4% (covers all other nations) LANGUAGE The predominant language in Hutori is Luthorian (English) and is the language to be spoken whenever politicians are making public announcements and within the House of Parliament whenever debating legislation. In addition to Luthorian, there are several minority languages which are also spoken within Hutori due to the influences of immigration and the large Mashacara populations. Mashacara in Farlistan for example is the secondary language and there has been a push in recent years for Mashacara to become an Official Language in Hutori along with Luthori. Luthori (Hutorian Luthori, not quite the same as Luthori) Principle Language spoken throughout Hutori Mashacaran (Hutorian Mashacaran, primarily focused in Falristan, but distinct dialects spoken in Kenai, Roccato & the Isle of Sutton Canarillise (Divided between Lourannis, New Aldurian & local Kenais, primarily spoken in Kenai, focused around St. Adrian and St. Anslem) Hulstrian or Dundorfian or other Artanian. (Spoken by recent immigrants from Artania or by strong Hulstrian/Dundorfian communities in parts of Hutori, primarily in Adelia near Glentingham and throughout Lagard) Jekbek (Largely spoken around Tremaine, Falristan where most Jelbek refugees created their permeant communities Majatan Languages (Hebrew, Arabic, minority communities in most provinces -Telamonese (Southern Kenai & eastern Adelia) - Davostani (western Adelia and Lagard) RELIGION Religion in Hutori has never been a serious affairs. While Hosianism has been the biggest and most influential religion, with the Aurorian Patriarchal Church and the Holy Church of Luthori, there is a also a large minority of the population that practice spirit worship along the lines of the various Mashacara Tribes, both Natives and Luthori Hutorians. The biggest trend however is an increasing non-religious, though still high tolerance of faiths, outlook as many people are at best unobservant to the faith that they themselves follow. Hutori's history of multiculturalism and immigration also mean there is a significant Ahmadi minority, mostly in the more Conservative south, along with an assortment of other religions that call Hutori home. 59% Hosianism (Christianity) - 28% Holy Luthori Church (Bishopal/Church of England) - 12% Other 'Protestant' Hosian (Luthoran/Confessional/Other, mix of Dundorfian/Davostani/Hulstrian and other groups) - 10% Aurorian Patriarchal Church (Roman Catholic Church + Russian Orthodox Church) - 6% Other Hosian (various small communities of Hosians from different Terran communities) - 3% Telamon Orthodox Church 30% Non-Religious (Agnostic, Atheist, or unobservant members of major faiths) 5% Mashacara Tribal Faith (Native American spirit/ancestor worship) 1% Satanalist (Davostani influence) 1% Ahmadism (Islam) 4% Other Religions (Yeudi/Seleyan/Other) |
