In accordance with section 7 of the Game Rules (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.ph...63#p145764), Pontesi is a "culturally protected" country. Below is the cultural protocol which all players in the country must abide. Throughout the document, the real-life equivalent is shown in brackets next to the in-game name.

--OVERVIEW--
Pontesi is based primarily on Armenia. The majority of the population is Arev Mardik (Armenian) and in Luthorian the term "Pontesian" is often used specifically to refer to this group. The second-largest group in the country is Seluco-Pontean (Roman Armenian) people. Among this group, there are many who identify as being both Seluco-Pontean and Arev Mardik.
Jelbic people arrived and settled in Pontesi over five thousand years ago, arriving from northern Seleya. Unlike many other in-game groups, the Jelbic people do not have a single real-life equivalent. Jelbic culture is based on aspects of various Eurasian peoples. The most important influences are Turkic peoples, Mongol peoples and Uralic peoples. Jelbic people speak a fictional, constructed language (see below for more information on language). Jelbic people are divided into particular ethnic groups. In Pontesi, the two most significant groups are Pnték people and Brmék people. Each group speaks a distinct dialect of the Jelbic language.

--LANGUAGE--
Pontesian (Armenian) is the most widely-spoken language in the country and it is the first language of the overwhelming majority of Arev Mardik (Armenian) people. It is also the first language of most Seluco-Pontean (Roman Armenian) people but a significant minority speak Selucian (Latin).
Pnték is a constructed language that draws inspiration from a number of real-life languages. The syntax and grammar of the language is based on Japanese. The vocabulary is drawn from various languages, including Czech, Dutch, German, Slovak and the Turkic languages. For information about the language, please consult the “Expanded Jelbic Dictionary” bill (http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.p...lid=387061) and the “Jelbic Dictionary” wiki page (https://particracy.fandom.com/wiki/Jelbic_Dictionary). Ethnic minority groups generally speak their native languages, such as Majatran (Arabic), Deltarian (Serbo-Croatian) and Augustan (Esperanto).
sorry to bother the mods. I want to request a small change in the culture protocol of Pontesi. As a start for future changes. in the request i want to decrease the jelbic population with 4%, add 2% to the yeudi population and 2% to new population for pontesi, narikutons and Darnussia.
i have roleplayed a lot with yeudi's and Amudim is a longlasted ally of Pontesi with a lot of roleplay between eachother, while also roleplaying a lot of the economy interwinned with the neset, wich motivated more yeudis to come into pontesi. Also with Narikuton&Darnussia, a long lasted ally of pontesi, now also with a lot of cooperation between the 2 nations and Thaller-Siran as one of the biggest companies in pontesi, it could be assumed that N&D people could have migrated towards pontesi with the same reasoning as the yeudi's.
