How to tell if you're a Nestorian

If you're a Nestorian...

  • Your community is your main source of social support, this community is your family home and you street (between 50 and 150 people). They cook for you, offer you work experience and take care of the young and the elderly.
  • You offer housing and food for the ones without a community and you give them a chance to intergrate. People who don't respect the community can be banished and they have to prove their worth.
  • You can have a business if you are part of a community but you pay a contribution to your community (a small payment to pay for the communal restaurant for example). If your company gets too large for the community, you leave community but in a postive way.
  • If you are man, you respect woman. If you are woman, you apprieciate men. If you are child, you honor your elders. If you are elder, you teach the previous generation.
  • You work seven 8-hour-days, one 4-hour-day and you are free for three days a week. Making a full workweek 60 hours. The half day can be any of the remaining four days including the 11th day. One the 11th day of the week you visit the Erecund temple to pay respect to the dead and you do other religious duties. Each community has one temple to come together in and each community does the religious duties slightly differently.
  • You wake up just after sunrise (6:30) and go to sleep before midnight (22:30) with an average of 8 hours of nights rest.
  • If you are a man, you likely spend your free time with friends working for patrol (this includes (combat) training), play games like Smilon Wurrar, drinking and socializing or do projects together (music, making minatures, making ''BoyArts'', freerunning) and take care of your children. And if you are above 50, you likely read, play boardgames and help with taking care of the children.
  • If you are a woman, you likely spend your time at home taking care of the children of the community, drinking with the girls at cafés (probably gossiping), being creative (singing, drawing, dancing, nitting or making jewelry), playing boardgames with the men, and cooking for community. (Taking care is seen as a job which the government pays for. If any parent work half time on a job and half time taking care of the kids, they will get 75% of a full paying job.)
  • You eat a decent amount of meat, eggs and grain based food (like pasta). You love slipperly food with good texture, the food is often blunt but it has good texture. You drink a lot of milk and milk types juices, and you like fruite juices and you drink no alcohol. You don't eat desserts, you just take a nice glass of pure fruit juice.
  • As a man, you find Nestorian woman very picky but big hearted (sometimes too much). After the age 19, woman are at their most picky, meaning if you have a young partner, you are seen as a good man. In order to make a woman interested in you as a man, you need to show of you got stable home. This proces of making a stable and attractive version is called Nest building which is partially where the name ''Nestor'' comes from. Woman approach men who they believe to have made a suffient ''Nest'' and men do the same towards woman who they think they will accept their effort. The older the woman get, the ''cheaper'' they get until the age of 30 on which point they will accept any man who is willing to have relation, woman above 35 are considered ''leftovers''.
  • As a person, you must respect all people's boundries. Hurting a defenseless person can get you in a lot of trouble, patrol will attack and arrest you and if you did something particular bad, you will get a ''punishment on the spot'' (this includes being shot or stabbed before the official police arrive (some criminals have been killed in brutal ways).
  • Your children and your community are very important to you. Often families have two sets of two children with not too many at ones to makes sure each child can get enough attention. If you can't provide for four children, you are expected to raise at least two children (most common is 3 and 4).
