About this Thread
This thread will be used to list facets of Hintuwani society, culture, history, technology, people and culture that are not long enough or are simply too random to deserve their own factbook or dispatch. This will be updated constantly, so please use the table of contents listed below as a means of navigating it.
Why use a forum thread instead of writing gameside dispatches or factbooks? Well, simply put, I've found that it is easier to retcon things using the search function which is built into the NationStates forum. And when you've been around NS for as long as I have, believe me when I say I have to constantly retcon things just to keep things running. Usually incremental things, but still it's important to have consistency.
Everything posted here is my own original content.
