Anyway the old (established 400 years ago in game) CP is as follows;
The cultures within Egelion are as follows:
Egelian (Spanish) - 80%
Caillean (Catalonian) - 14%
Ghadrash (Hungarian) - 5%
Others - 1%
Cailleans live mostly in the province of Caille, and Ghadrash live mostly in the province of Ghadrash. Egelians are found all over Egelion, though.
Party names should be in Spanish, with a few exceptions being Hungarian or Catalonian.
Religions in Egelion:
Selucian Patriarchial Church (Catholic) 92%
Bishopal (Anglican) 1%
Solduni (Traditional Faith) 5%
Other 1%
See Here: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=390661
Egelion has a storied history of religious extremism, the most recent chapter being when it began a crusade to end the Solduni faith. As a result, the vast majority of Egelians are now Hosians, if a bit reluctant. The style of Hosianism they practice differs somewhat from what the Church in Selucia preaches; they have incorporated many Solduni rituals into their sacraments.
I have created a new proposed CP, having extensively researched the background of our neighbouring countries and scanning through the limited history and culture of previous Egelion players RP. My research can be found here.
To summarise;
I propose several key changes from the original Cultural Protocols. Firstly, the ethnic Ghadrash (Hungarians) should become the ethnic Zyldavs from neighbouring Kizenia. explained by historic border changes or migrations. Secondly the Solduni, with no background other than the original Cultural Protocols should be exchanged for a collection of Dovani Traditional Native religions. Clearly immigration, particularly from Dovani should be recognised in a new Cultural Protocol, as should some of the other ethnicities and religions from neighbouring countries.
==Ethnicity==
I propose that the ethnicity is as follows (all percentages approximate, may add up to more than 100%);
- 77% - Egelions (White Spanish) of which;
-- 15% - Caillean (Catalonian) - (although essentially the same as Egelions, the Caillean speak their own dialect and have a very strong regional identity)
- 8% - Kizenian (Whites from other parts of Kizenia), of which;
-- 4% - Kizenians (Romanians)
-- 3% - Zyldavs (Hungarians)
-- 1% - Trigunians/Dolgarians (Russians/Latvians)
- 15% - Immigrant or immigrant descended, of which;
-- 10% - Dovani (from the continent to our east), of which;
--- 4% - Kyo
--- 3% - Dranianos
--- 2% - Kazukis, AKA Sekowans or Mikuni-Hulstrians (Japanese)
--- 1% - Other
-- 2% - Artanians (Whites, typically merge with the Egelion population by the second or third generation)
-- 2% - Seleyans (Ethnically mixed, include Indians, French etc)
-- 1% - Majatrans (Mixed Arabs/Jews/Slavs)
The population of Egelion was historically very homogenous, being largely white, and mostly Egelion (Spanish) speaking, with minorities from neighbouring countries. However immigration has significantly altered the population of the country, with almost 10% of the population coming from Dovani (East Asian), with smaller immigrant populations from other continents including Artania, Seleya and Majatra. The Caillians are an enigma. Although basically the same as the bulk of the Egelion ethnic community, they speak a dialect which is regarded as a different language (although not incomprehensible to Egelion speakers and vice versa) and regard themselves as different. All five of the Egelion regions have a strong regional identity, but the other four regions do not regard themselves as different from Egelion.
==Religion==
Retaining Egelions Patriarchal character, with the Solduni replaced by Dovani traditional religions. Breakdown as follows;
- 85% - Hosian - (Christian), of which;
-- 75% - Patriarchal -
--- 70% - Aurorian Patriarchal Church
--- 5% - Terran Patriarchal Church
-- 7% - Luthoran - (Various Protestant)
-- 3% - Other Hosian -
- 4% - Dovani Traditional Religions -
- 1% - Yeudish -
- 1% - Ahmadi -
- 1% - Other -
- 8% - None/Athiest/Not answered
The Patriarchal Church dominates, however it is worth remembering it is slightly splintered with a number of fundamentalist Terran Patriachal followers around. Luthorans are largely ethnic Zyldavs or Artanians. Immigration has brought religions from Dovani, Seleya and Majatra and finally there is a small but growing number of non-religious citizens.
==Language==
This section focuses purely on an individuals primary language, or the language spoken at home.
- 68% - Egelion (Spanish)
- 15% - Caillean (Catalonian)
- 5% - Dovani (East Asian, various)
- 4% - Kizenian (Romanian)
- 3% - Zyldav (Hungarian)
- 5% - Other (Various)
However, in terms of competence in various languages there are some different statistics;
- 98% - Egelion. The language of education, media, business and culture, most speak Egelion, except for the most recent migrants.
- 35% - Luthorian. Despite only a few native speakers residing in Egelion it is a common secondary language in Terra.
- 20% - Caillean. Most residents of the province can speak the dialect.
- 15% - Dovani. Various languages.
- 12% - Kizenian. Commonly spoken by Kizenians and those raised in border areas.
As there are no other active nations I would appreciate thoughts and comments from other players. I know I haven't added any history and that Egelion is quite a quiet nation, but I intend to work on that.
Many thanks for your help.
