I will review this and let you know when the 48 hour timer will start.
I have some questions here:
(1) Is there any sort of RP to support the decline in the other populations compared to the Kyo population?
(2) Is there any sort of RP to support the "absorption" of religious groups into Sindo-Daenism?
(3) Is there any sort of RP to support the decline of other religions compared to the others?
I'll forward these questions to Wublixi and copy and paste his responses. In the meantime; I'll try to field these as another player who's been in the nation to offer my perspective.
1. The CSL is literally a Kyo Supremacist party and have declared Dankuk a Kyo nation-state much to my party's chagrin (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=650113); however this doesn't necessarily equate to ethnic composition. The CSL's whole idea is kind of similar to Zhonghua Minzu; basically while there isn't mass murder perpetrated against Dradwyr and Draniano, they're being completely culturally assimilated - forced to speak Kyo, to read it, and effectively to become a part of the "Kyo people" themselves. The CSL also encourages the intermarriage of minorities with ethnic Kyo - however; this could actually just be creating more people who would be racially if not culturally Draniano. Additionally, whenever opposition governments have taken power (like the CPRU-BFP coalition one rn) they've reversed the assimilationist policies and promoted multi-culturalism and autonomy. In short; the past decades have undoubtedly turned Dankuk into a very Kyo-dominated culture and society; but the Draniano and Draddwyr haven't been significantly mowed down in terms of actual racial population - at least to my knowledge. In addition; multiple opposition parties have taken on pro-Draddwyr/Draniano identities (http://classic.particracy.net/viewparty ... tyid=41860), meaning that they certainly aren't being too silenced. Because of this, I would disagree with the scale of the changes taking place demographically - the Draniano are at least racially if not culturally still very much present; even in reduced numbers.
The demographics and culture of Dankuk make it a bit difficult to assess the Draniano population due to their dual mixed race and cultural status - are they decided by blood or culture? If it's merely the former, then Wublixi's policies may have actually increased the Draniano population. But if we go with the latter definition, then I would agree that the Draniano have suffered severe setbacks. I would assess that there definitely have been significant decreases in Draddwyr populations in addition.
2. Wublixi has turned Sindo Daenism into the state religion (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill. ... lid=650117), and sort of a mass front for conservatives and the religious. At the top of my head I can't pull out an individual instance of significant merging of religions or conformity, it's just generally been accepted by the players in Dankuk (namely me, the BFP player, and Wublixi himself) that the Sindo Daenists have been gobbling up smaller sects. I can't pull up concrete instances or documentation of this actually happening though, so this point could be up to debate.
3. From what I believe it's more of an inferral decline. Nobody in Dankuk for the past couple of centuries, at least to my knowledge, has actively been playing a religious group besides Wublixi and his Sindo-Daenists. There have been very atheist movements (like my party), and secular but religious freedom-supporting movements (like Ryouta's now-defunct party); but there's never been a substantially long-ruling and impactful enough Hosianist or really any non Sindo-Daenist religious party for that matter. Wublixi's is the only one in recent memory to reach these levels of zealotry. Given the CSL's usual level of support and the fact that it has ingrained Sindo-Daenism as the state religion of Dankuk as a nation itself for decades at this point; even I would probably admit that at this point other religions and even atheism have probably been in substantial decline. In short; atheism and Sindo-Daenism are the 2 major religious camps that have presented themselves in Dankuk for the last decades; and given the absence of alternatives, the theocratic nature of the current regime, and the lack of any players to RP another religious movement it's being inferred that non-Sindo Daenist religions and to a lesser extent atheism have taken significant blows.
These are just my thoughts; and once Wublixi responds we'll have definitive answers.
