Feedback: Real-Life Equivalents Index

Does anyone know if we have a catch-all term for South Asian/Desi peoples? Is it just Kalkani?

In Kalistan, Kalkali is used ethnically to refer to Hindustanis and linguistically to refer a group of languages primarily spoken in India (i.e. Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Gujrati, Sindhi and Kashmiri).

Much obliged!

Does there need to be an in-game word for Jacobinism or since its not a reference to a real word individual does it not need one?

I wasn't sure because it is a reference to a real world street which was named for a real person?

I would say Jacobin/Jacobinism is too much of a prominent real-life reference to be used in-game, so I'd recommend coming up with an in-game alternative. But there would be no problem with referring to Jacobinism in a clearly OOC context, to help to communicate to players what you are trying to describe.

In light of this, could you remove "Buddhism (Zen): Cheng Daenism" and instead add the below as equivalents of the subdivisions of Buddhism:

• Theravada: Upayana
• Mahayana: Mazdayana
• Zen: Zensho

I created wiki pages for them (Upayana, Mazdayana, and Zensho), but so far only the Mazdayana article is complete. I'll be working on the others in the future though.

Done.

We still need in-game equivalents of Congregationalism and Pentecostalism. For the latter, the wiki does mention "Charismic" churches, but it's not listed in the index.

I've always used "Charismic" as a term for both Pentecostal and Charismatic movements in general - some of my characters have been Charismic Auroran Patriarchalists (Charismatic Catholics) etc.

I agree there should be an equivalent of Congregationalism - how about simply calling them "Nonconformist Luthorans"?

Could I request an in-game equivalent for Plato and Socrates?

I thought that "Piletus" might work for Plato, and Socrates could be "Sokriatos". In my mind, they're Kalopian, but that could be up for debate. I just need to include them on my wiki page for Logarchism (my own made up ideology).

"Charismism" should imo be added to the index, and I agree that "Nonconformist Luthorans" works as an equivalent for Congregationalism, unless someone comes up with a better term.

Piletus/Piletos and Sokriatos do work well for Plato and Socrates, and I agree that they should be Kalopian.
