Ethnic Group: Caucasian
Skin Color: White
Other defining physical features: Skin coloring is barely visable under layers of religous tattooing. Rather trim folks.
Primary Religion: Worshiping the Cassieran leader and the Sky Emporer
Family Structure: Family is the only friends allowed in Casseria.
Social Values: None, they are nothing but the sky emporers servants.
History*: Their fathers before them all worked until death, as servants to the great one above. They will continue the tradition or be publicly lashed.
Climate of Homeland*: Typically rainy. This is because the sky emporer wants his servants to be hard workers.
Diet*: they eat what is given to them. Normally a diet rich in grains and fruits. Meat is only served on holidays.
Music*: Religous hymns.
Stereotypes*: They are not freethinking.
Economy of Homeland*: Basically no economy for the people (everything they NEED is supplied). The government is wealthy.
Reason for Being in Sagatagan: Not sure, probably wondered off confused. GIVE OUR PROPERTY BACK. Well, that is if you want. If they wandered off they are probably useless to us anyway. Their housing unit will be burned if they are not returned.

Ethnic Group: Latin Meryumi
Skin Color: Tan
Other defining physical features: Often curly dark brown or black hair, long noses
Primary Religion: Kristisme (a folk form of Catholic Christianity), Meryumi Catholicism (a liberal, schismatic offshoot of Catholicism that's more structured and less syncretic then Kristisme), Humanism, Buddhism
Family Structure: An extended family of parents, their siblings, grandparents, their siblings, and children will all live within the same household.
Social Values: Participation in community gatherings, honesty,
History*: The Latin Meryumi first settled Meryuma over 1200 years ago, conquering the native non-human and Austronesian peoples. Their language, Meryumi, is a creole based on the now-extinct, Italic Proto-Meryumi language. Meryuma is currently an ecologically-focused anarchy after previously being a monarchy, a republic with liberal qualities, a dictatorship, and a social democracy. Other ethnic groups in Meryuma now enjoy full civil equality, and the vestiges of colonialism are to a large extent gone.
Climate of Homeland*: Tropical, with some temperate areas at higher elevations.
Diet*: Meryumi cuisine is based around seafood, chicken, rice, and tropical fruit. It often has a very intense spicy, sweet, or savory flavor. Rice wine and fermented fruit beverages are widely enjoyed.
Music*: Shakers, tambourines, flutes, horns, panpipes, lyres, large clay & animal-skin drums, and a 10-string fretless guitar-like instrument called the kalara all feature in Latin Meryumi traditional music. In terms of popular music, jazz, experimental rap, orchestrated pop, various forms of electronic dance music, post-rock, noise rock & noise pop (especially shoegaze) and metal all have sizable followings. Blues and reggae are also beginning to catch on.
Stereotypes*: That the Meryumi people are all laid-back, hedonistic hippies. While these traits are more common and accepted in Meryuma then many other locations, they're certainly not universal.
Economy of Homeland*: Anarchy without adjectives, green, de-industrialized.
Reason for Being in Sagatagan: To see how other anarchists live, to explore the world.

About Sagat Exiles: The Meryumi people pity the Sagat exiles for being so close-minded, dogmatic and counter-revolutionary. The Sagat exiles also anger

Ethnic Group: Insalasian (from the five northern seperate islands of Beinai)
Skin Color: Pale caucasians
Other defining physical features: Blueor grey eyes, bright blonde hair
Primary Religion: Atheism, Modern Buddhism, Kartoligicaen (a liberal, modern form of Catholicism which was founded in 1968)
Family Structure: Cohabiting parents with usually two children and mostly living with grandparents.
Social Values: Insalasians are very liberal people. Some enjoy the simpler things in life and work on their farmland. All Insalasian tend to have pets roam around their garden. They are efficient workers as they value the privilege of a salary.
History: They founded and developed the five islands into their home in the early 13th Century and have always put family first. Many more privileged villagers cooked meals for the homeless and the poor before the 1899 Welfare State Legislation was signed. Through the centuries, they have always held pacifism as one of their main general traits.
Climate of Homeland: It's rather cold and harsh during winters and moderate through summer. Some live round the highlands on Gate Island but also live on the slightly warmer islands.
Diet: Mostly wheat and vegetables- they tend to grow and produce these. Some also consume poultry and run free range chicken farms.
Music: It's quite varied. The most notable band is this one.
Stereotypes: That they are communists and that they cut themselves off from society (the Soder Helsing Ethnic Group's general view). Some regard them as hippies.
Economy of Homeland: Liberal Socialism/Welfare Capitalist
Reason for Being in Sagatagan: The satisfaction of working for the economy. Sagatagan is regarded as a perfect, fertile environment and they feel that their liberal attitudes help them to fit in.

Ethnic Group: Nuordo- Nyasodriagns (From the northern area of Nyasoder State)
Skin Color: Caucasians
Other defining physical features: Grey eyes, bright blonde hair
Primary Religion: Atheism, Modern Buddhism
Family Structure: Cohabiting parents with children.
Social Values: Very liberal. They see trust and respect as the main gateway to social harmony.
History: They arrived in the mid 1880s from a scandinavian land after a storm. Over the years, they have adopted the English language- even in the home. They also mainly travel in caravans and campers, but pay taxes through a new scheme and clean up after themselves.
Climate of Homeland: A moderate climate with moderate precipitation and the rare winter of snow.
Diet: Vegetables, poultry, nuts
Music: None of these people really release music but play it for the freedom- especially along the clothing optional beaches of Beinai.
Stereotypes: Some regard them as hippies.
Economy of Homeland: Liberal Socialism/Welfare Capitalist
Reason for Being in Sagatagan: They like to stay for short terms in many corners of the globe- as its seen as a great way of accepting cultures to be open minded.

Postby Norvenia » Tue Jul 19, 2011 7:52 am

Ethnic Group: Norvenians
Skin Color: Caucasian (northern European)
Other defining physical features: Generally fair hair and fair eyes.
Primary Religion: Norvenian Reformed Apostolic Church
Family Structure: Nuclear, close-knit
Social Values: Loyalty, piety, tradition, social justice.
History*: Norvenia was settled by disgruntled American Puritans, Anglicans, and Quakers who set out to create a more just and pious society than the early United States. After a series of wars with the Norvenian Aborigines, which ended only in the 1920s, they settled the area of modern Norvenia. Initially, Norvenia was governed by the Kirk, a sort of theocratic direct democracy composed of all members of the Norvenian Reformed Apostolic Church - the fusion of the original Puritans, Anglicans and Quakers into one denomination. In the 1870s, power was handed over to a constitutional democracy, which has pursued broadly Christian Socialist policies ever since.
Climate of Homeland*: Norvenia is quite cold and alpine, with some more temperate areas toward the coast and in fertile mountain valleys.
Diet*: Norvenian food is generally acknowledged to be terrible, even by Norvenians, so foreign and ethnic cuisines are dominant.
Music*: Norvenians are musically very conservative, favoring classical, religious, and folk music.
Stereotypes*: Norvenians are generally regarded as total Puritan killjoys, possessed of a disturbing moral fervor and closed-minded piety. In fact, of course, Norvenians are quite socially liberal in certain ways, as is shown by the total acceptance of homosexuals by the Norvenian Reformed Apostolic Church and most of Norvenian society. But many Norvenians are stern enough in demeanor to give rise to the stereotype.
Economy of Homeland*: Poor, due to intense taxation and social-welfare spending by the Christian Socialist government. But, because of that very taxation and spending, the poor economy does not terribly effect the quality of life of most Norvenians, whose basic needs are met by the state.
Reason for Being in Sagatagan: Many Norvenians move abroad to have adventures, or see the world - Norvenian society can be stifling in its religious and communitarian intensity.
