Nestorian Cultural norms and traditions
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.)
