NationStates

This will be a Q&A thread for any and all questions you may have on Jamilkhuze, Syfenq, and/or Nouveau Yathrib. I haven't had much time to write factbooks about their politics, society, and culture beyond a general overview of their parallel universe. I plan on posting more detailed factbooks on their politics, economies, culture, and technology at some point in the future. Hopefully this thread will give me something to work with.

I will answer IC questions as Jamilkhuze/Syfenq and OOC questions as Nouveau Yathrib. Please try not to ask questions I've already answered in my Factbooks (Jamilkhuze, Syfenq, Nouveau Yathrib). I don't mind clarifying but I'd rather answer original questions because they're more fun. I use NS stats for all my accounts whenever appropriate.

OOC: What is your reasoning behind Jamilkhuze's motto, it seems rather cynical for a grand unifying statement?

IC: The world is a beautiful and wonderous place; it’s human nature to forget that by focusing on what divides us rather than what unites us. Jamilkhuze emerged from the ashes of a totalitarian cyberpunk climate refugee state that was sharply divided along race, religion and language- hence the need for a universalist national motto that reminds us of our common humanity.

OOC: I came up with the motto when I was 15, back when I wanted to make my first NS account edgy and philosophical. Never bothered to change it, even after I decided to make Jamilkhuze and Syfenq alter egos of each other.

Vic2: What are the AN's Primary and Accepted Cultures?

Accepted: Min, Yue, Vietnamese, Filipino, Sindhi, Bedouin, Mashriqi, British, French

Vic2 is set in the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries; a lot of the assumptions about "primary" and "accepted" cultures are difficult to translate to a dystopian 22nd-century setting.
