Vallermoore's National Holidays.

1st January-New Year's Day
A happy national holiday for all. Since a lot of people drank too much on New Year's Eve and drink driving can get prison or even the death penalty it is not fair to expect them to risk their lives to get to work. People rest and sleep off their hangovers. Only emergency services work on this day.

March 25th-Easter Day. The second national holiday of the year it is a good time to feast on chocolate eggs.

April 1st-Not a holiday as such but a time for silly pranks. Even the press and TV joins in.

July 8th-Queen Yocasta's birthday and the third national holiday of the year. There are large numbers of fireworks set off officially and otherwise.

October 31st-Hallowe'en/Nightmare Night

Not a holiday as such and unpopular with many people because of pranks such as tyre slashing and other such things. Trick or treating is banned as people are either too young or too old for it but it still happens. Every year a few people get arrested doing illegal stuff on this night.

December 25th-Christmas Day

The fourth national holiday of the year and a time for feasting, opening presents and enjoying oneself as much as you can.

December 26-Boxing Day

The fifth national holiday of the year and a time to rest and enjoy yourself. Also a traditional time to watch boxing matches on the TV.

December 31st-New Year's Eve

The sixth national holiday of the year and a time to set off fireworks at midnight, jump into the New Year and kiss your loved one.

Some workers get up to a month of extra holidays and others have just the six national holidays guaranteed by law.

Mode of Production Survey
Does the state (or lack thereof) officially describe itself as communist, socialist, capitalist, or other? The state describes itself as a Unitary Parliamentary Republic under an Elective Theocracy, describing itself as neither communist, socialist, or capitalist.

If so, is this describer accurate? Mostly

Does your nation have a state, or a class of people that hold power over the rest of the population? Yes

If so, is this state formed from the proletariat, a bureaucracy, a small group of conspirators, or something else entirely? The state and clergy hold power over the rest of the population. It's interesting to note that Xanh's clergy retains the most powerful members of Taoism/Daoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shintoism alike, thus technically classifying Xanh as a theocracy

If it is formed from the proletariat, how is this power exercised in practice? N/A

Are members of the state elected? Are they recallable? Yes

Is the society in your nation described as anarchist in nature? No

Does your nation possess money, property, a state, and/or classes? All (property, however, is owned by the state)

Are there commodities (products that are created to be exchanged) in your nation? Yes

Vaccine Survey
Are vaccines mandatory in your nation? No. How would a robot even get a vaccine? We use antivirus and firewall programs instead.
How many vaccines do children receive at birth? Decepticons are made, not born. And, zero. But everyone gets a running copy of the Decepticon Antivirus, courtesy of the government.
What percentage of your population is vaccinated? 95% of us are currently running some form of antivirus and firewall. 3/5 of the other 5% are now under the control of enslavement viruses and working in our mines along with the human slaves.

Speaking of the human slaves, ALL of them get our gene-based immunity patches (which supersede old-style vaccines) whether they want them or not. We're not losing our livestock because some of them want to be extra-idiotic.
No war RPs; no open RPs.

Name of language: Cybertronian Binary
Language family: Machine
Is this language natural or invented? Technically invented, but it's a living language, so it's much different than it was when it was first put into use over 1,000 years ago.
Text direction (left-to-right or right-to-left)? Left to right

Writing and pronunciation


Which alphabet or writing system does this language use (or primary, if multiple)? Any arrangement of two different symbols works, as long as one of them consistently means "1," and the other, "0."
How many different letters or characters are there? 2
Can the sound of a word be predicted from its spelling? Completely
Can the spelling of a word be predicted from its sound? Completely
Does this language have word stress? Yes.
Does stress follow a fixed pattern (first/last/xth syllable, etc), or is it different for each word? Different for each word, but it's most common for the stress to be somewhere in the middle of a word (if there are 3 or more syllables). Notably, it has no silent letters or "mushed up" syllables, unlike, say, English.
Does this language have tones? No
How many different tones are there? N/A
Does this language have sounds or sound combinations that are difficult for non-native (or even native) speakers? No. A "1" is a short tone, and a "0" is a long one. This part is super-easy to get.

Grammar

Is the word order fixed or variable? Fixed for proper Binary, but Yoda you may speak like, and understood anyway, you will be.
Do words have a gender? No. Heck, WE don't have a gender!
Which of the following genders are used?
[] Masculine
[] Feminine
[X] Neutral
Do verbs have different forms ("conjugations") depending on who does the action (for example: I am, you are, he is)? Yes.
Which of the following conjugations are used?
[X] First-person singular (I)
[X] Second-person singular (you)
[X] Third-person singular (he/she/it)
[X] First-person plural (we)
[X] Second-person plural (you/y'all) Always a form that translates basically as "y'all." It eliminates unnecessary ambiguity.
[X] Third-person plural (they)
Do nouns have different forms ("cases") depending on how they're used in a sentence? Uh...we guess so...
Which of the following cases are used?
We just talk/write. Nobody has bothered to piddle about defining parts of our language like this.
Do words have a plural form? Yes.
Do plurals follow a fixed pattern, or are they different for each word? A fixed pattern.
Does this language have a T/V distinction (different pronouns for polite vs. familiar address)? No.
What are the polite and familiar pronouns? N/A

Vocabulary


Does this language share a lot of words with other languages?
No
Does this language have a lot of foreign loanwords? Very few
Can speakers of other languages understand this language with ease? No. It's not because the language is hard, per se, but that we speak it so fast that biologicals tend to hear it as a single, slightly broken-up, tone. Note that we do not screech like fax machines or dial-up modems! We do, however, speak much faster than those primitive devices can.
Can speakers of this language understand other languages with ease? No. We typically have to install a Foreign Language Data Pack for the target language in order to understand it. That said, once someone does install such a Pack, he will know the official version of that language (as would be taught in a college) with perfect fluency.

Availability of resources

Are learning materials widely available for this language? No. It is "naturally understood" due to being part of our root code. Someone whose root code doesn't have a way to interpret Binary would not function at all (as in, he wouldn't run), so this part has to be done right just to activate him in the first place.
Are teachers widely available for this language? No.
Are books and media widely available for this language? Most of our media is ONLY available in this language!
Is this language considered important for business? Absolutely essential.
Is this language considered important for science and research? Absolutely essential.
Is this language considered important for tourism? No.
Does the government offer programs to teach this language? The latest full dictionary is in the Standard Educational Data Pack (SEDP), which is installed in new Decepticons at the time of their activation.

Meanwhile, the basics/mechanics of the language, and the amount of words needed to run his own code, are installed into the offspring by the Coder. The Coder will typically install them as a big table copied from an Educational Data Pack (or, if pressed, the SEDP's basic module) on the Writing of Code Intended to be Sapient, but it is possible for a Coder to copy the data over from his own knowledge if he absolutely has to. Doing it the latter way, as you might expect, has downsides that we would rather avoid. However, it is good for species survival security that we do not *have to* depend on the government or any other external source to code more Decepticons.
No war RPs; no open RPs.

Dictoriahon Armed Forces

Is the Military as an institution viewed positively or negatively by the public (and which groups view it positively/negatively): Everyone loves the DAF. Mostly because they'll be in the DAF at some point if they're not already. They have to.

Are officers viewed positively or negatively: Positively.

What qualities are officers viewed as having Being indiscriminately loyal to the Supreme Leader and the instruments of the worldwide revolution.

Are soldiers viewed positively or negatively? Positively.

What qualities are soldiers viewed as having? See Question 3.

How does the Military influence society? The Supreme Leader has absolute control over the military, and the Supreme Leader has, in general, absolute control. Ergo...

How does society influence the Military? It doesn't. It's the other way around.

Are there any festivals linked to the Military Pretty much every festival here is martial. Dictoriahon Day, DAF Day, DGA Day, DGN Day, DGAF Day, you get the idea.
The Empire of Dictoriahon
Founded Nov. 30 2018
We are a nation of heavily suppressed loyal citizens led with an iron fist a benevolent hand by our wise ruler Supreme Leader Sebastian Dictorus. We treat our citizens with brutality hospitality and host a virtually decimated thriving environment.
