Mediterrainia: A socially liberal island nation located in the Mediterranean Sea. The Medians (what we call ourselves) are a freedom-loving, Linux-using bunch who have mastered the art of deadpan-snarkery.
Though we lack a state religion and allow freedom of (or from) religion, it happens to be the case that an overwhelming majority of Medians are Subgenii.

Political Compass: -7.3 social, -1.0 economic. So, left-of-centre libertarian. I am an INTJ.

The Cymrean national beverage is mead, particularly when made from wild blackberry honey and with an alcohol-by-volume percentage exceeding 18%. Some local distilleries, such as Green Dragon Honeywines, pride themselves on recipes that result in meads of 23% alcohol-by-volume or more.

"Victory" brand liquor is perhaps the most common spirited drink in the Imperium, making it the unofficial national drink.

Image

Even Sidhae themselves aren't sure what type of drink exactly is "Victory", but everyone knows it is certainly not for inexperienced drinkers, much less for inexperienced unaugmented drinkers. The intoxicating effects are significantly more pronounced on human drinkers, since the enhanced Sidh bodies can metabolize alcohol more efficiently.

Humans have likened it's aroma and flavour as "something between industrial-grade ethanol and homemade rotgut whiskey, mildly sweet, with a strong scent of petroleum with a tinge of rocket fuel". Sidhae have been more modest in their descriptions, simply stating that "Victory" has a strong aroma that one must get accustomed to.

There is actually a whole line of drinks branded "Victory", ranging from beer to absinthe, the actual iconic drink being labelled simply as "Victory", with no additional descriptives like "beer", "vodka" or "whiskey".

The drink gets it's name from Victory Chemical Works, a state company producing a plethora of chemicals, ranging from soap and ethanol to high explosives and rocket fuel. Legend has it that "Victory" liquor got it's characteristic taste and smell after an inexperienced worker forgot to clean the storage tanks from traces of rocket fuel before filling them with the first batch of "Victory" liquor. While that is just a tall tale, considering how Victory Chemical Works fuels and spirited drinks are produced in entirely separate factories on different worlds, and most of the process is automated to eliminate any such errors, the legend has stuck somewhat nonetheless - if only because "Victory" does actually taste and smell like rocket fuel.

It's potent intoxicant properties are evident, six shots of "Victory" being said to knock out cold all but the most seasoned drinkers. For most humans, three is usually more than enough, average Sidhae taking four or five.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

The more God in one's mouth, the less in one's heart.

Sereina is an influential nation which constitutes the Serein Pennisula. Their coastal location means a mild, windy climate. The nation has stunning hilly, rocky, and rugged natural scenery. There are many natural resources which contribute to its wealth but Sereina's economy is very diverse. Their culture is one of principles which originate from their native religion, Confucianism. Its fascinating customs are still found all over Sereina. More information in Factbook.

We don't have a national drink. Ayran, raki, and wine are relatively popular.

Lovejuice.

It's a sweet, fruity drink that causes a surge in neurochemicals that makes one feel love for others. It is used as a social lubricant. It can be mixed with alcohol, but is usually imbibed without.

Unsurprisingly, wine is immensely popular in Melvonia. We have a number of grape varieties, though these are mostly imported from Old World terroirs and made using traditional techniques. The only really distinctive vintage native to our nation is the famous Melvonian Breakfast Wine (Fruhstuckswein), which is a light Pinot Grigio-based blend and delivered to doorsteps every morning with the milk.

Since the personal intervention of the previous Doge, Bradypus XVI, the right to a proper Martini has been enshrined in the Melvonian constitution.
