Cultural protocol update for Hobrazia - jamescfm - 19-11-2025
I am proposing a cultural protocol update for Hobrazia and I would appreciate any feedback.
The major change is a dramatic reduction in the percentage of the population adhering to Hobaism (from 32 to 12 per cent). The justification is primarily out-of-character. Hobaism is not a well developed religion and has never been significantly role-played. Ahmadism has been introduced to replace it, which reflects that Islam is the majority religion among Azerbaijanis and Circassians in real life.
The other changes are a slight reduction in the Raktavani population (from 5 per cent to 2 per cent), and the removal of a reference to Syldavian as a widely-spoken second language.

The largest group in Hobrazia are the Hobrazian (Georgian) people although there are two notable ethnic minority groups: the Deltarian (Circassian), and the Zargundian (Azerbaijani) people.

--RELIGION--
The historically dominant religion in Hobrazia has been the Hobrazian Orthodox Church (Armenian Apostolic Church). Religious beliefs in the country have been influence by the native Hobrazian religion of Hobaism (fictional in-game religion, see here: https://particracy.fandom.com/wiki/Hobaism).

The dominant language in Hobrazia is Hobrazian (Georgian), but Deltarian (Circassian) and Zargundian (Azerbaijani) are significant minority languages spoken by their respective communities.

Reasonable, it offer also the opportunity to develop a background for the presence of such minorities in Hobrazia.

While a bit late, I think this is a good change and introduces some updates to Hobrazia.
