Application
People's name: Lytonos
Population: Reasonable for that time
Leader's name: Pytali
A brief description of your people's culture and language: The Lytonos are very peaceful people, with only a few of the southern tribes being hostile. The weapons vary on which tribe you visit, with the most hostile tribe, Ilkahni, dominating the southern region with spears. While the eastern tribes of Jollus, Mintoka, and Trilo living in peace, with only long bamboo sticks as weapons. They mostly live off of fish from the ocean, not really hunting the animals around them. Their tribe's leaders are very decorative, wearing many facepaint and golden jewelry. The tribe leaders, who are referred to as Tolos, lead the people in day to day activities. All the Tolos meet together every year to decide who becomes the new Tylis, who governs the activities of all the tribes. The language is very strange, made up of clicks and trills. How those clicks are arranged and how long the trill is, are how you determine the word.
National Symbol: Two fish jumping over a waterfall
Briefly Describe, in a paragraph, your nation's religion: The Lytonos believe in multiple gods, who control the four elements and the one who created the elements. They believe the one who created the elements is the father of earth and the other gods, this one is Gala. Gala has the power to create any element, destroy any element, create people, and create creatures. The goddess of the element of water, Elles, is also known as the goddess of storm. She has the power to create any body of water, give life to people, heal anybody, but she also has powers to create a thunderstorm, flood, monsoon, tsunami, and hurricane. The god of the element of fire, Los, is the most feared of the elemental gods. Los has the power to create mountains, volcanoes, release comets from the sky, start fires, create distrust, and bring death. Then there is the god of both earth and air, Grarus, who has the power to shape the land, create air, and bring immortality. The Lytonos believe that these 4 created the earth and all it's people, but usually have fights and the people of earth suffer from it.
Location: The island of Luzon in the Philippines.

Accepted.
AH, PMT, some FT.


Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a generally optimistic attitude towards humanity in general.
Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.
To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate idealistic egalitarian with many strong convictions.

I agree. Some ages are very few days and it will be difficult to fit so much years of progress in those days.

Application
People's name: Rualger Culture
Population: 15,000 (don't worry, it's not going to grow nearly as fast as anyone else's)
Leader's name: Chief Kallar
A brief description of your people's culture and language: A warlike and aggressive people, they have lived on the plains since time immemorial, building their grass and wooden huts just to be burned down in a generation. While a social structure is semi-developed, with hereditary chieftain systems ruling over villages that serve as seats of power, the reality is that rough bands formed around said settlements are the power, and they clash, endlessly and ceaselessly, creating and breaking alliances at whim, and lasting sometimes for a few generations and sometimes for a year. It is essentially a culture of defending oneself from the unchanging status quo that causes wars to be a constant, and of building and farming as best as possible in such an environment; grass and wood the favoured materials for building, and furs, stone tools and the like making many appearances.
National Symbol: n.a., you think some barbarians are gonna have a symbol? :P
Briefly Describe, in a paragraph, your nation's religion: A very basic animism is practised; certain various types of things are believed to have a deity, like, say, childbirth or metals or bushes. These gods are not well-established, though, and while a pantheon is mostly uniform throughout, its lesser members often change. The gods are nameless, and the only acknowledgement is a sort of respect for the surroundings (e.g. not burning down forests for fun) and the odd prayer/legend here or there. And no, this is not some sort of environmentalism precursor. :P
Location: Wallachia, not including Dobrogea. Just the 6 provinces.

Gonna migrate everywhere, smash budding civilizations up and perhaps settle somewhere near the Baltic.

Application
People's name:The Suta-Meonji
Population: 13,000
Leader's name: There's tons of them, though sometimes one tribal leader has more power over the others, but as expected, that power shifts sort of democratically.
A brief description of your people's culture and language:The language is quite unique in that it is a syncretism of the main dialects of the Two Great Tongues (Sino-Tibetan and Altaic). Culture is generally easy-going and tends to teach the value of cherishing life and being a good person. Nonetheless, there is also somewhat of an emphasis on order, as well as the growing focus for the importance of family, friendship, and honor. This is mostly restricted to the more religious or militaristic of people, however. The current styles of government are villages assembled in tribes, or primitive clans. The leaders of said groups of villages come together on many occasions to discuss their progress, but they usually go on their own autonomous routes, heeding to the unspoken rule of avoiding tribal warfare.
National Symbol: Too early for that, but I guess it's something along the lines of a chevron. Of course, it will change as time progresses.
Briefly Describe, in a paragraph, your nation's religion: There are two main religions that go hand-in-hand with each other pretty well. The first is a form of animism, focusing on oneness with nature and exploring the realms outside of the human perspective. The other believes in there being a god or number of gods that all strive to keep the world in a harmonic balance, and that humans have a duty to make of the world of what they wish so long as it does not upset the balance or the god(s). Really, religion and spirituality varies from tribe to tribe, but these are the ones that are followed the most in some way.

Application
People's name: Ranishic Peoples
Population: 7,000
Leader's name: Various Chieftains
A brief description of your people's culture and language: The Ranishics are hunter-gatherers with a somewhat reactionary culture. However, their beliefs allow them to tell the next generation tales of their ancestors in order to preserve their past. For some reason, man and woman are treated equally, with the exception that women can't be chieftains. Women, however, were known to join men in hunting animals, influence chieftains' decisions, and lead warriors when there are no leaders available.
National Symbol: N/A
Briefly Describe, in a paragraph, your nation's religion: The Ranishics believe in the worship of their ancestors, often believing that if they achieve things many appreciate, they will be equal to that of their greatest ancestors.

Photana doesn't commit the most, no
The RPs are usually pretty well-formatted and well-conceived though
