In accordance with section 6 of the Game Rules (http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8088), Telamon is a "culturally protected" nation. Below is the cultural protocol by which all players in the nation must abide. Throughout the document, the real-life equivalent is shown in brackets next to the in-game name.
--OVERVIEW--
The dominant ethno-linguistic group in Telamon are the Skjöld (Icelander) people, who migrated to the continent during the first millennium CE. The Skjöld are an Altfolk (Scandinavian) ethnic group. Minority populations in Telamon include the Doyingars (Faroe Islander), who are centred on the island of Migadon, and the Laamits (Sami), related to the Sullestian (Finnish) people.
NOTICE: The correct demonym from this bill's passing until changed shall be TELAMONIC. As Telamonese does not fit with the OOC culture or language, Telamonic should be used instead. If you see Telamonese, please change it to Telamonic.
