CULTURE
Baeguk is a nation primarily based on real world South Korea. While Baeguk is a multicultural nation, note that there is a dominant national culture applying to the vast majority of Baeguk's citizens most derived from the Kyo people. Cultural influences from the real world should be primarily Korean for the Kyo people and Evenki/Tungusic for the Alakasipti people.
Please note that, given their special RP status, the Draniano people are a unique Creole culture that only exist in the Particracy universe. Please note that the Dranianos have NO true cultural analogue in the real world, although approximations and parallels might be made to groups like the Macanese of Macau. Exercise caution and best judgement to approximate what a mixed race Korean culture with historical Hispanic and Catholic influences may develop over the years given the circumstances.
KYO PEOPLE
The Kyo people are the majority and culturally dominant demographic of Baeguk. The Kyo heartland is in the southwest and northeast.
DRANIANO PEOPLE
The Draniano originated as a unique cultural group due to the influence of Egelian colonists in the mid to late 19th Century CE. Though originally a Creole people, the Draniano have since developed a unique culture. Recent linguistic developments have led to increased Kyo influence and loan vocabulary in the Draniano language. The Draniano heartland is in the northwest, near the city of Sinsu.
ALAKASIPTI PEOPLE
The Alakasipti people (plural: Alakasiptil) are loosely related to the Kyo people through their mutual connections to the Proto-Dan peoples through DNA evidence. The Alakasipti heartland is in the southeast.
DEMOGRAPHICS: ETHNICITY
» Kyo (Korean) - 73%
» Draniano (Creole Korean with Hispanic-Influenced Culture) - 14%
» Alakasipti (Evenki/Tungusic Siberian) - 11%
» Other - 2%
DEMOGRAPHICS: LANGUAGE
The dominant language of communication is Naramal (meaning "National Language"; a mix of IRL Southern Pyojuneo and Northern Munhwao), colloquially known as Kyomal ("Kyo Language"), which is taught in all schools and used commonly throughout all the land. Unlike modern Korean, Kyo uses a mixed-script system incorporating both Baegul (Hangul) and Yeongja (Hanja). Romanization is typically analogous to Yale, McCune-Reischauer, or Revised standards. There exist regional dialects; Changtae (IRL Jejumal), West Myeoggi (IRL Hamgyeong Dialect), East Myeoggi (IRL Pyeongan Dialect), Haegi (IRL Hwanghae Dialect), Hyonggi (IRL Gangweon Dialect), Seongtaek (Gyeongsang Dialect), North Konggi (IRL Chungcheong Dialect), South Konggi (IRL Jeolla Dialect), and Gongmangdo (IRL Seoulmal).
Draniano (An original Creole conlang unique to Particracy; primarily a blend of Korean and Spanish), is influenced by Egelian but has since developed very divergent features. It is sometimes learned as a second language; remaining commonly used in Haegi and other provinces. Modern standard Draniano is written with the Egelian alphabet (Latin Alphabet), but it was traditionally written in Baegul (Korean Alphabet), an application which is now chiefly reserved for religious texts like the Bible.
Alakasipti (Evenki) is believed to be distantly related to Kyomal, sharing similar syntax and etymologies. It is infrequently used in everyday speech outside of Rokgi Province, where a majority of the Alakasipti population is concentrated.
A sizable amount of people in Baeguk are bilingual in Kyomal and Draniano, with some even being trilingual.
DEMOGRAPHICS: RELIGION
Religion in Baeguk is largely diverse; though the largest religious group present are Atheist or Irreligious. Due to the exclusionary and fluid nature of Baeguk's traditional religions, numbers regarding shamanism are not representative of most of reality. Shamans are popular with the general population, far more than official numbers would suggest.

CHARACTER NAMING
Character naming should reflect the cultural background of the nation, either being exclusively to one ethnic group or showing an integration of more than ethnicity, particularly with mixed-race characters. Note that Kyo people make heavy use of IRL native Korean names (순우리말 이름/고유어 이름), in contrast to common IRL Sino-Korean naming conventions.
With Kyo and Alakasipti persons, surname comes before given name (Ex: Buyeo Haeoreum – Buyeo is family name, Haeoreum is personal name). Draniano names tend to use a first, middle, and last name in that order with the middle name being taken from the mother and the last name from the father (Ex: Felix Jegal Sagong – Felix is the first name, Jegal is the maternal surname, Sagong is paternal surname).
