What cultures would you like to see more of in Particracy?

[Captain-Socialist]

Is their any culture you want represented better in particracy, or maybe it isn't represented at all, and you want it to be? Perhaps you can be specific, and point to some culture less rock you would like to implement it in?

Some I'd like to see;

More variations of English speaking cultures - In order to be realistic, we should probably acknowledge that the English language is always going to be dominant. However, this isn't an excuse for blandness. If we acknowledge Luthori as Victorian England, then we should try to limit other English Monarchy cultures. Instead, I'd like to see a Scottish nation, a puritanical King hating Republic (by which I don't mean, "it has a president and a Senate", I thinking more Oliver Cromwell), a Bella South Confederate nation, an Australian, Canadian or New Zealand culture, an American culture that is actually interesting (as in being a well RPd, believable American culture instead of just having "a president and a Senate" and pics of American politicians).

Aryans - By which I mean a Iranian, Persian offshot of the Majatran family tree, to counter balance the Arabs. They could be written in as the ancient rivals of the Artanian Empire, just like the Sassanids and the Parthians were the rivals of the Roman Empire. It would also explain how a supposedly Arab nation once elected a party called the National Bolshevik Aryan Labour Party, and would explain who the fuck those "desert people" Godwin was descended from were.

More variations of Asians/Gao-Showa - This has been going quite well, from being almost universally Japanese, quite a few nations with Gao-Showan populations now have a unique language rather than just being Japanese. We have the Kyo (Koreans) in Drania, the Han in Indrala, and Gao-Showa proper (Japanese) in Sekowo and Hulstria. Kazulia's Gao-Showa would work best as a Hunnic, Mongol culture, which would explain their absence in political life and would fit in better in a snowy Viking country.

Egypt - Ancient Egyptians rock.

More Africans! Seriously, particracy is full of crackers. It must have evolved differently to RL earth or had some terrible genocide's in the unrecorded past.

All wonderful ideas, Captain Socialist. Especially the Africans. I try to make my characters diverse, and I have had one African as a party chairman, and now I have a French-speaker, rare for our Jewish land.

Here are some other RL cultures that are "missing" a Particracy counterpart:
* Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi: could fit into the Aryans?
* Pacific Islanders - Indonesians, Filipinos, Samoans, Fijians, Micronesians, Papuans, Tongans, etc. You could even have a cannibal Fijian-Papuan culture!
* Aboriginal cultures, often more continental then they are national - Australian Aborigines, Maoris, Native North Americans, Inuits, Native Siberians, Roma, Amazonian tribes, etc. Using these cultures currently probably would work in a sense like the "sovereignty" that the U.S. gives to native tribes, although it is quite possible to make a nation of them. It would also involve making any RP mostly retroactive and historical.
* The very small, often multilingual European countries - Malta, Monaco, Andorra, San Marino, Vatican City, Liechtenstein, and Luxembourg. Keymon maybe fits into this; from what I know of it, it is rather Malta-esque, at least geographically.
* Eastern Europeans (many of them technically Slavic) - Romanians, Poles, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Baltic cultures (Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians), Belorussians, Ukrainians, Moldovans
* Slavic or Slavic-Western mix cultures - Slovaks, Serbs, Czechs, Slovenes, Albanians, Bosnians, Croats, Macedonians, former Yugoslavians, etc.
* The European-influenced Asian cultures: Turks, Cyprians, Georgians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Turkmens, Tajiks, and Kyrgyz

MORE AFRICANS!!!

Indian/Pakistani/Bangladeshi: could fit into the Aryans?

Yes, Indians, at least North Western Indians, are Aryans in the original meaning of the word. Nam Viet is supposed to be Indian, but it isn't a real nation and is apparently 82% Luthorian (which is a bit freaky, how many have you killed, perfidious Luthori? How many?!)

Eastern Europeans (many of them technically Slavic) - Romanians, Poles, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Baltic cultures (Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians), Belorussians, Ukrainians, Moldovans

We have some of them in Keris, I know from memory we have Romanians.

The European-influenced Asian cultures: Turks, Cyprians, Georgians, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Turkmens, Tajiks, and Kyrgyz

Poor old Zongxian has been having a hard time trying to make Tukarali Trukish.

I'd appreicate some pointers to particularly bad offenders. Solentia's culture, for exarmple, is an abomination in my opinion.

I'm currently trying to weave in some Indonesian in Jakania.

* Aboriginal cultures, often more continental then they are national - Australian Aborigines, Maoris, Native North Americans, Inuits, Native Siberians, Roma, Amazonian tribes, etc. Using these cultures currently probably would work in a sense like the "sovereignty" that the U.S. gives to native tribes, although it is quite possible to make a nation of them.

We always have the Orang Asli in al'Badara.

And didn't Talmoria use to be African?

Turkish?? I had been trying to make Tukarali a Filipino/Chinese/Singaporean mix for a culture. Though considering that about a 1% of the population was Muslim, they could Turkish-like.
Too bad everything I tried to do to get Tukarali a culture was continually reversed by a non-RPing barely-active party that won't go away...

... Macedonians...

What? :@

[Captain-Socialist]

... Macedonians...

What? :@

Yeah, lots of Turks and Macedonians, that's what particracy needs. That Kapolia place doesn't seem to have a lot of culture, so we'll make is Macedonian-Trukish.

Haha yeah verily. I thought the Greeks hated the Turks and Albanians, not the Macedonians. Not the modern "Macedonians" anyway. I mean, the current Republic of Macedonia is a joke, let's face it.
