Die Stimme Narikatons (The Voice of Narikaton) is a thallerist newspaper reporting about politics.Member of the 'Oderveldhafen' FraternityDossier: Rise of the 'Burschenschaften'With the dawn of a new era in dual-republican politics, meaning thallerist dominance, the traditional university fraternities (dundorfian: "Burschenschaften") experience a never-seen phase of growth, they are known for promoting Pan-dundorfian nationalism. They trace their origins back to the 19th century and the founding of the first and second Dundorfian Empires promoting constitutionalism and a strong pan-dundorfian nation state, while being considered progressive and liberal in these times, they have, in modern times been seen as a conservative and sometimes reactionary force, allying with autocrats and fascists which plead to their strong rooted nationalist ideological core for support.
Historically speaking they have been strong in conservative ethnically dundorfian territories although in recent years due to the pacification of ethnic tensions in Narikaton & Darnussia have begun to expand into ethnically narik provinces with them working towards proclaiming nariks as a "dundorfian brother people" and some even going as far as calling them "volksdundorfian" per se. Combining the recent rise of conservative politics and the expansion into new provinces, it only seems natural that their membership numbers would rise. As said, they primarily consist of liberal, conservative and nationalist intellectuals from the universities but some minor fraternities are oriented towards high-school students in their senior years. Aside from their ideological goals, they propagate values such as personal liberty, performance, ambition, humility and courage with their activites consisting of charity work, gregarious drinking events called "Kneipen" and fencing which is referred to as "Mensur" in the habitual tongue of the frats.
It might seem easy for outsiders to just ignore them as a cultural phenomenon but as they are inhabited by the elite of dundorfian societies they are known for producing valuable members of society such as legal professionals, economists, teachesr and politicians, especially younger TKP politicians have a high quota of "Burschen" among them. Meaning, these people form a fundamental pillar of right-wing political forces in the dual-republic.
"It looked like a silly semi-cliquey thing between a few players to me. Following around a troll called Mbites like he was some sort of god... which wouldn't have mattered so much in the scale of things, except one of them was a Mod."
