Cultural survey of Aurevbush (wip)
I figure this would help with some of the cultural shock stuff on Forum 7.
Among Aurevbush's common and important values are: Freedom, Reprocity, Inidividualism, National Identity, Family and Blood Ties,and Fairness.
What languages does Aurevbush speak?
The diversity of languages in Aurevbush is prevalent given a vast pre-Ascension history of different tribes and tongues as well as the present day's cuultutral diversity of both Aphoephans and non-Aphoephans alike. Some of the most common minority ones would be Novaltin, Spanish ,French , Beastkin, Waispek. The most commonly wide spoken language in Aurevbush is Gamen or *Generalized Aurevbush Major English Notation*, it is used as the de-facto language for business, commerce, entertainment, media, academics, and government.
What about the art style?
Given the diverse culinary palette in the country, there is no official national dish designated for Aurevbush. Many food staples include corn, beans, potatoes, squash, carrots, and livestock meat, as well as seafood, often times influenced by ancient Aphoephan, Cariusisian, Yurop, and Tanilistani dishes. Some culturally notable dishes in Aurevbush include cheeseburgers, bobburgers, fritata, harvest stew, and cookiezza. Some famous drinks include Gerlie's famous rum and match coffee.

How are children raised in Aurevbush?
They're raised by the screens, they're raised by the droids. They're raised by the trippy Immersive Reality set while they're parents are out on a date or whatever. No, I'm kidding. That's not really true. Children in Aurevbush are commonly to be born to a married couple, and raised by their mother or "nursing partner". In cases when the original biological parents are not fit or capable to care for their original child, it is up to other members of their family (typically grandparents, aunt, or uncle) to volunteer to their care as they grow older. Extended family care is seen more as the preferable option to adoption.
What are some important historical figures or events that have shaped our nation's identity? How are they commemorated or remembered today?
The most important figures known to shape Aurevbushan society are "Andrew the Grand", Leopoldo Gouto, Grace Denzington, and Duke Zueter." Their contributions are commemorated through national holidays, memorials, statues, and educational programs.Events that have shaped Aurevbush as a nation are the "Coastal Storm of the Century, the Aurevbushan Revolution, Bebilinos' Awakening, and the Digital Renaissance."
Some of the biggest do's when in Aurevbush
Some of the biggest don'ts when in Aurevbush
-Don't even think about eating our citizens. No matter if they have fur, feathers, or no fur at all, we are all living beings deserving our dignity and respect. We are not delicacies for one to be eaten at the dinner table. Among other countries, exists a ceremony where live or dead humans are eaten by non-human sapients, Aurevbush doesn't have that, it does not even have primate meat to eat.
-Do not offer money to a female stranger unsolicited, it is often seen as demeaning to women and a form of harassment.
Using Geert Hofestede's Cultural Dimensions:
POWER DISTANCE:
Aurevbush exhibits a low to moderate power distance. While there have been periods of centralized political authority, the historical progression from feudal rule to democracy has led to a more open and egalitarian society. People value civil liberties and expect a degree of hierarchy, but it's not extremely pronounced. The direct communication between employees and employers underscores the nation's respect for personal freedom and individual rights.
INDIVIDUAL/COLLECTIVE
Aurevbush demonstrates a balance between individualism and collectivism. People value personal freedom, autonomy, and individual achievement, reflecting a high individualism score. However, family and community ties remain important, and during challenging times, there is a strong sense of community support, emphasizing collectivist elements.
MASCULINE/FEMININITY
Aurevbush has a significantly high masculine score, highlighting the necessity for success, material acheivement, and competitiveness as a way to propel society forward. Work-life balance can be a challenge for some, and traditional gender roles, while evolving, still have an influence in society.
Uncertainty Avoidance
Aurevbushans today understand the need to embrace change and ambiguity as a way to adapt themselves in a world where technology and magic and culture are constantly changing. While many private institutions do value stability and consistency to a degree, not many of their adherants will bother putting strict rules and regulations and will look to methods that have not yet been widely practiced, considering strategies for better procurement and marketing. The culture places value on innovative strategies and flexibility in approaches.
SHORT/LONG TERM ORIENTATION
Aurevbush leans towards a short-term orientation, Aurevbushans are among one of the cultures that likes stuff done "right here, right now", emphasizing the importance of immediate results and innovation. The rapid adoption of new technologies exemplifies this orientation. While there is an appreciation for values like perseverance and resilience, there is also a strong focus on immediate gratification and enjoying the present.
INDULGENCE
Aurevbush is an indulgent culture. People emphasize pleasure, enjoyment, and leisure, as reflected in mass consumerism, rich culinary traditions, vibrant festivals, and strong social ties. The culture encourages hospitality, generosity, and the appreciation of life's pleasures.
