I will ask the questions that are more exotic, hehe!

- So... what is the most valuable artifact in Zitravgrad? Like, it can be a vase, or a treaty, or even a building itself! What is its significance?
- What is the usual traditional clothing for the Zitravgradians? Does it usually overlap with occasions, such as, say, wearing traditional clothes for work because they fit and fare better in your job? You know how Valentians usually wear skirts and stuff because it's... freer than pants, sorry for the overly detailed explanation!
- Are there any particular languages that have quite an ascended status in Zitravgrad, other than Russian and English?

The Batavia wrote:"Greatings and good afternoon, Premier Mirovslavsky. I hope you are doing well today.

Let me get to the point: I am curious what Zitvragrad's traditions and customs are regarding funerals. Do your people prefer to bury their dead relatives/friends, do they get cremated or do you do something different with the bodies? I know that losing someone close to you is a tough thing, so I was simply wondering how they mourn loss or celebrate someone's life over there in Zitvragrad."

-President Lars Alexanders

"Good afternoon, Mr. President. It sure has been a while since we talked last time... or since I saw you at all. I trust that you have been doing well?"
...
"Fascinating question... Indeed, we have this saying in Zitravian literature: "Fate is pending, death is imminent, ever so present." There is no way to escape it, not even with the current lifespan of one hundred and fifty years. Culturally, Zitravgrad considers itself Orthodox to a point... and even people of other religions or non-religion bid their farewell to their lost ones mostly by burials. As usual, the bodies are bathed and dressed in their best, then laid out in coffin with flowers for people to mourn. Now... flowers have been a major part of Gaian romanticism. Even in the dead time of winter, there have to be flowers of some kind in the coffin. But always... always in even number. That's why you don't gift living people flowers in even number in Slavic countries. Also, there are more rituals surrounding these, which are largely archaic but still done. When the coffin is present in a building, all clocks are to be stopped and all mirrors are to be covered. I don't actually know why myself..."

"No, no, I don't mind. Any question is fine and I certainly welcome a chance for conversations with friends. We are a little quiet here since... I don't know for sure."
...
"The most valuable artifact? This is highly debatable as the nobility of Zitravia were known for their great opulence and vanity, and they left behind immeasurably expensive works of art present in our galleries and museums, as well as personal collections of the... old nobility who somehow have fitted themselves into the crown republic. Ask Felix Zhavaropov, he still has all his diamond eggs. Ask Anatoly Tzaryshkin, he still has his family's sabre with handle made of gold. But the most politically valuable artifact remains the Sapphire Regalia of Grand Prince of Zitravia -- a crown, a sceptre and an Orthodox cross. 14th century jewelry is not such a great beauty in comparison to more modern works, but it is grandiose in its own right and actually still used as symbol of legally-binding authority. It is so valuable that the Grand Prince himself wears gloves while handling it."
...
"Zitravgradian traditional clothing is... what should I say... Eastern Slavic in nature. It is not something someone would normally wear in their daily life, perhaps except for farmers or people who live rather traditional or rural life. Nonetheless, wearing the well-known embroidered shirt or the vyshyvanka is not out of place for fashionable women. That's probably just it."
...
"For the last question, Ukrainian is replacing Russian gradually as the main national language. Do not say that Russian and Ukrainian aren't different. They definitely are, and this fact is hindering us from completely assimilating the population into speaking Ukrainian."

"Ah... It's those strange people from #47 version of the Milky Way. It is certainly nice that we can pick up your signal and pretty excellently at that. First thing first, well... Zitravgrad has its own Space Agency, which is a part of Aerospace Force. Under its command, there are a number of satellites and a single space station orbiting Gaia. We take no part in the colonization of the Moon and our neighboring planet Mirandas, as we became an independent state too late for this kind of thing. Before our independence in 2010, much of our effort was considered shared with the Kozavian Empire. We actually had a hard time pointing out which equipment was ours or theirs when we declared independence."
...
"And... what? UFO? If you invade us, it could be considered alien invasion. But given our distance... I am not taking that scenario seriously. We have not discovered any trace of civilization in our own circle, but we also do not reject the possibility. Sure, there are some loose screws screaming about conspiracy theories but we do not take them seriously."
...
"Also, it is certainly interesting that someone would be curious about the Rowani, or more specifically in our region, Kozav Rowani [probably comparable to IRL Ruski Roma]. The Rowani... had a long history of living a nomadic life and have been popular in the Kozavian Empire, until the Empire passed a nationwide law forbidding their nomadic culture and forcing them to settle down. There are many groups of them, and they usually live in the same areas even if they don't get to be very close to each other. The major stereotypes of them are that they work as musicians, singers and dancers and that they engage in the so-called arts of fortune-telling, occultism and seance, sometimes ousted as complete quack. Nowadays, they are becoming... more modern, I believe, even if they lack behind the majority of the country. But the thing about them is that, like black people or Oriental people in Zitravgrad, they never blend in, sticking out like a sore thumb even after several generations, always seen as foreigners even if they call this country home. Even my family could blend in despite our Kaskachian [Circassian] roots."

"Thank you for the question, Dr. Klein. Yes, the issue of addiction has been severe in Zitravgrad since the Nuclear Calamity in 1994, given that more and more people turned into alcohol, tobacco and drugs to combat reality. In fact, we have seen steady rises of addiction-related issues. Our technological progress concerning the medications for this also has risen somewhat, although most remedies available now are very expensive. The most common addiction is alcohol, while tobacco adiction is less looked into... and drug addiction is much lower considering how drugs are expensive commodity. Also, we appreciate the cooperation and wish that we could work together in the future."

Greetings to the most noble people of Zitravgrad.
We have come to know that Zitravgrad has a rather powerless constitutional monarchy in place. We would like to know how people generally view this, as in do they want the status quo to continue, abolish it all together, or give the King more power?

"Greetings and thank you for your question. Yes, here is some insight into our postmodern history: Zitravgrad had long been governed by an ultraconservative, militarist and highly authoritarian monarch foreign to us (even if our nations are both Eastern Slavic). For the last century of the Imperial Rule, their rule upon us grew more and more oppressive and the line between our nations became more apparent. So when the Revolution split us from the Empire itself, we invited our old monarchy back to rule us only in name, since the relationship between Zitravgradians and monarchism as an ideology has become sour. While some people are certainly pleased to see the return of the Yaroslav dynasty, some are skeptical about the current Grand Prince as a person."

"As a man, Grand Prince Viktor has been the exact opposite of the Imperator of the Kozavian Empire -- even-handed, gentle and utterly frugal. This has both positive and negative effects on the people's opinion who view him either as a role model or 'too soft'. Politically, his influence is highly religious in nature, as a scholar in theology. Thus, he remains in status quo and is neither threatened nor incited to move away from it."

"Salutations of the afternoon to you, visitor. It seems to me that you are a new face here, but your questions are still quite interesting. Of course, Zitravgrad and other member states in the League of Nations view climate change and its effects as a legitimate international concern, especially after we became aware of the atmospheric change caused by the nuclear calamity in 1994-1995. We do not 'believe' or 'not believe' in it, but acknowledge and know it as a fact."

"Zitravgrad has done its duty to assist nations that have been hit with natural disasters as much as we could, with financial or supply aids to nations far away from us, and manpower assistance in those who are closer. I hope this will answer your questions."

It has been a childhood fascination, as I found that it was an interesting country/region yet the media rarely have it so much 'positive' coverage unlike western nations. I was introduced to it via books and video games where they seemed to play a role of a villain to modern history. I guess that was where it started. I went to Russia only once, however, in May-June 2019. You may have seen that I used some of the photos from the trip in my own factbooks.

OOC: Sorry for the late reply. I have been doing things lately and also distracted by the new nation I'm writing for.

"Greetings, visitor. I suppose that it is the first time I receive any question from your nation at all. My opinion towards Feyrisshire is not yet deeply founded, as we have considered your nation beyond our uncanny valley for the time being. Basically, we see Feyrisshire as a surreal entity like a country in a fairytale and you might be aware of the reason -- Zitravgrad is vastly different."

"Politically, we would applaud you for standing in the way of New Carthagea in the war, although we have not given much attention to the conflict, especially as we do not gain or lose anything from it. Moreover, our opinions of communism and nations under its banner fluctuate every now and then, but perhaps you would also have noticed that communists had been severely discredited and purged during the Zitravgradian Revolution. We have no actual issue with your nation, of course. But we also find it challenging to arrive at a common ground with communists most of the time."

I'm awfully curious about this new home of his. Now why in the world did that baby boy think landing himself in a terribly hostile environment was a good idea? It's suicidal! To follow up on that question, does he have any contingency plans in case the colony comes crashing down? To make it even more difficult, does he have any contingency plans that doesn't involve tearing a rift through space and time? I'm sure you're giving me a surprised look behind your screen, Pyotr. Mind you, I have a very long memory!

Now onto less topical questions, I wanted to switch to the handler of the biscuit, as Salem liked to call him that one time. Gods, Salem's such a stupid cat. Mr. Zimarochenko, have you ever felt like you were born to do something else? Do you feel unfulfilled by any chance i your current position and in any case, may I ask what your dream job is? What would you love to do? Do you like to have a degree of authority over people and shape the world as you see fit or do you prefer crafting art in your own time?

"Greetings from
Crustalia, Miss Ambrosia. Surely, the interdimensional limbo was such a dead space to do an existence in, so I am glad to be around and active again! Why am I on Crustalia, you ask? Well, I have already been working for the Space Force prior to the founding of Crustalian Expedition. When it was finally founded, it was quite a sensation and anyone who joined would be promised great rewards and benefits as well as adventures. But I'm here mostly for personal and family glory. I mean, I am here to live up to the name of my grandparents... and there is no opportunity to do so in Gaia with old geezers occupying the Verkhovna Rada. I am also not interested in running for boring offices either."

"My plans and objectives at the moment include securing our territories from overlapping with foreign powers and protecting them from being run over by xeno dinosaurs or giant hornets.

Mr. Zimarochenko, have you ever felt like you were born to do something else? Do you feel unfulfilled by any chance i your current position and in any case, may I ask what your dream job is? What would you love to do? Do you like to have a degree of authority over people and shape the world as you see fit or do you prefer crafting art in your own time?"

I don't want to get you into any trouble, but here we go. I've heard that there have been a lot of protests against the Thai king recently. I've heard he has been quite corrupt and oppressive. What do you think of your country's monarchy? It's fine if you don't want to answer this, if you think it will get you into trouble. Thanks.

Don't discuss my country's politics with me, please. I don't trust you that much. All I can say is that you have the basis of truth and I am fond of neither the royalists and the protestors.

"Uh, that's... that's a lot of number to go through. Oy, that's a lot of cats. 700 million cats in Gaia, plus 2 billion cats in Catverse, plus more, more, more cats. Also, there are alien animals in Crustalia that look like cats. Omg, that's a lot of cats."

*thinks*

My currently active puppets are:

Now you can also ask the sketchy neighborhood cult some random cryptic questions! Feel free to address any character available with this nation as well as all the nations listed above.

"Now I've always wanted to ask about a certain period of time that I hope is distant enough that it's not too controversial a topic. To put it simply, I'm curious about how life was like back in what you would consider to be the medieval precursor of Zitravgrad? What were some of the most important values of such a society that would seperate them from more...temperature feudalistic societies? What were some events that you could say paved the way for a nation like Zitravgrad to exist in the first place?"
