''What kind of people live in your country?''
Like the rest of [[Vallos]], Rumahoki's demographics is highly diverse with multiple groups co-existing and intermingling relatively peacefully for the most part. Although this diversity was initially seen as a bad thing during the years when [[Delepasian exceptionalism]] was the main ideology for Rumahoki's preceding government as part of the [[Estado Social (Rumahoki)|Estado Social]] period, the much more recent policy of {{wp|multiculturalism}} and the dismantling of institutionalised racial laws has greatly encouraged diversity as part of Rumahoki's history and heritage.

Rumahoki's population is highly diverse, but research on Rumahokian ethnicity has felt the impact on nationalist discourses on identity. Ever since their independence from [[Pelaxia]], the former Pelaxian colonies have all promoted the view that all Pelaxian-descended people in eastern [[Vallos]] are part of the [[Delepasians|Delepasian]] community, within which they were all considered indistinguishable from one another regardless of genealogy. This is the state of affairs that surrounds the Delepasians to this day.
Rumahoki's population is highly diverse, but research on Rumahokian ethnicity has felt the impact on nationalist discourses on identity.

Because of this, which was further spurred on by [[Delepasian exceptionalism]], the Delepasian community is largely seen as a "{{wp|melting pot}}" as multiple Occidental immigrants that have migrated to the Delepasian polities in the 19th Century, such as Yonderrans and Larianans, were noted to have largely assimilated to the point that many fusion cultures and languages were nearly driven to extinction.


The second-largest ethnic group is the [[Taineans]], people who have descended from passengers of the [[Heaven Ships]] and have intermarried with the indigenous [[Vallosi people]]. In what's now Rumahoki, the Taineans have enjoyed more rights than the Taineans of [[Almadaria]]. Indeed, Rumahoki is one of the only two countries that actively preserves [[Tainean culture]] with the other being the Tainean-majority [[Arona]].

Higher education is divided between [[Universities in Rumahoki|public universities]] and the prestigious and selective ''[[Academia Coronada|Academias Coronadas]]'', such as [[Ciencias Gu]] for political studies, [[ANR]] for economics, [[Instituto Politécnico Imperial|Politécnico]], [[Universidad Mauricio Delepas|UMD]] for social studies, [[Escuela de Minería Santa María]] for high-profile engineers, or [[Academia Administrativa Burocrática]] for careers in the [[Gran Cuerpo del Estado|Gran Cuerpo]] of the state. The ''Academias Coronadas'' have come under criticism for their alleged [[elitism]] as many of Rumahoki's high-ranking civil servants, CEOs, and politicians were graduates of these institutes of higher learning.

===Kinship and family===
''How are families or kinship groups structured in your country?''
Family structures for the Delepasians and Cartadanians largely revolve around the standard {{wp|nuclear family}} structure that is usually found throughout the [[Occident]], with a mother, a father, and multiple children who inherit their father's surname all within one single family unit. However, this form of family structure is not exclusive, and may even be nonexistent in certain parts of the country. For example, the Taineans practice a more matrilineal form of family structure as well as a system similar to the clan systems found in most Celtic countries. Most Tainean tribes are headed by a kasike, who serves as the chief of the tribe with the succession laws determining the kasike's heir being based on a matrilineal seniority. This means that a Tainean chiefly line of succession revolves around the oldest living female member of the tribe, thus if the matriarch dies then a new heir is chosen from the senior most descendant of the new matriarch. As such, the new chief of a Tainean tribe will not necessarily be a close relative of the previous chief.

''What do your people eat?''
[[File:Joulutorttuja_1_IMG_2130_C.JPG|thumb|250px|Making stella santas.]]
Rumahokian cuisine is primarily a mixture of Vallosi, Pelaxian, and Yonderran cuisine, the result of centuries of cultural exchange between multiple cultures. Barbequed food, based upon an old [[Taineans|Tainean]] culinary tradition, is greatly popular, with many regional variations throughout the country, and often with great regional rivalries emerging as a result over which regional form of barbeque is the best. Many Rumahokian pastries are primarily Yonderran contributions to the nation's cuisine, with the most well-known Rumahokian pastry being the [[Stella Santa]] which was created by a Yonderran chef in 1860 for Christmas before becoming a major hit and among the most ubiquitous Rumahokian foods. To the south, particularly in areas close to [[Takatta Loa]], regional variants of the [[taco]], itself a traditional [[Loa people|Loa]] dish, reign supreme and often to the point that some people in the Occident have sometimes erroneously claimed that tacos are a traditional Rumahokian dish due to the nation's variants of the taco being some of the first forms of the taco to achieve international fame, much to the chagrin of the Loa government that campaigns have been launched to correct this common misconception.

Line 385: Line 385:
The only extant religion in Rumahoki that has not requested recognition from the government is the [[Delepasian National Church]] which since the Velvet Revolution has refused to communicate with the government, believing that doing so would validate what they deem to be an anti-clerical socialist regime.

===Sports===
===Sports===
''Does your country have any major sports leagues? What types of sports are played, both professionally and for fun by your country's people?"
{{wp|Association football}} is one of Rumahoki's favourite pastimes, with the national team being a member team of the [[World Association Football Association]], having competed in the [[WAFF World Cup]] multiple times. The nation's primary {{wp|professional sports|professional}} association football {{wp|sports league|league}} is the [[Rumahokian Football Union|UFR]], which currently has thirty-two teams; twenty-seven Rumahokian teams and five [[Arona|Aronese]] teams. The UFR is organised into two main divisions: the [[Northern Division (UFR)|Northern Division]] and the [[Southern Division (UFR)|Southern Division]], each with two additional divisions consisting of eight teams; a division consists of sixteen teams overall.
===Symbols===
 
''Are there any prominent symbols which are well known to represent your country?''
A UFR season has three main phases. The first phase is the preseason phase, which lasts from August until early September and is used for practice and to determine which players get to be on their team's UFR roster for the season with preseason games being usually held at a community stadium, but it is not entirely uncommon for a notable UFR team to play a preseason game on an international site. The regular season phase is the second phase in a UFR season; all teams play 90 {{wp|season (sports)|regular season}} games with the amount played at home and the amount played while away being split evenly. Of the games played during the regular season phase, twenty-eight are played within a subdivision, twenty-six are played against teams within the other subdivision, and the remaining thirty-six are played against teams from the other division. The regular season lasts from September until March with a weeklong midseason break and a twelve-day long holiday during Christmas.
 
The final phase of a UFR season is the [[Zamora Cup Tournament]] wherein the top eight teams from each of the two divisions are chosen to compete in the annual {{wp|tournament#knockout tournaments|elimination tournament}}. The tournament is divided into four rounds, with the first round consisting of four games for each division, the second consisting of two games for each division, and the third round serving as the semi-final with each division having only one game for the third round. The winners of the semi-finals will go on to play in the final which is the only round in the tournament in which both teams are from different divisions. The winner of the final wins the [[Zamora Cup]] and becomes that year's champion.
 
UFR games are almost always held in Rumahoki, save for home and away games that are held in Arona. The only season in which the games were almost entirely held outside of Rumahoki was the 1994-1995 season due to the fallout of the Velvet Revolution and the subsequent Democratic Salvation Period.
 
Smaller professional association football leagues exist in Rumahoki, and are known as junior unions; junior unions are more regionalised than the UFR and usually have their own trophies.

The Rumahokian healthcare system greatly emphasises the {{wp|right to healt|right to the universal access to healthcare}} and as such the government holds a monopoly on healthcare funding which it gets through {{wp|income tax|income taxes}}, making it a form of {{wp|single-payer healthcare|single-payer}} {{wp|universal healthcare}}. In practice, this means that access to any healthcare institution in Rumahoki, which is always a government-owned facility as domestic private healthcare has been declared forbidden by the constitution as part of the country's commitment to {{wp|socialism}} and the eventual transition to {{wp|communism}} in the future, is guaranteed at no further cost to the patient. With a consistently growing economy since the early 21st Century, the Rumahokian healthcare system has generally improved over time with it eventually becoming one of the best systems in Vallos in the 2020s. Healthcare funding in Rumahoki comprises about fifteen per cent of the country's GDP, which is over $7,016 per capita, making it among the most-funded healthcare systems in the subcontinent.

{{wp|Wind turbines}} are at their most numerous within the [[Porto Taino Wind Farm]], a {{wp|wind farm}} located off the coast of northern [[Porta Gemeas]] that was constructed in 2006 and was fully operational by 2010. The rest of the wind turbines are located off the coast of [[Homberia]] as part of the [[New Rumas Wind Farm]], itself having been constructed in 2014 and was fully operational by 2016. All wind farms are connected to an on-shore "battery unit", a building that stores the energy generated by the wind farms for use on the power grids of the autonomous islands. Solar power has found its greatest use in the state of [[Auxana]], which has had a long history of opposing nuclear power.

{{main|Rumahokian Imperial Armed Forces}}
The [[Rumahokian Imperial Armed Forces|Imperial Armed Forces]] serve as the military and paramilitary forces in Rumahoki, with the [[Rumahokian Emperor|Emperor]] serving as the [[Commander-in-chief of the Imperial Armed Forces (Rumahoki)|Commander-in-chief]]. The commander-in-chief also serves as the {{wp|chief executive}}, making Rumahoki one of the few nations in which the head of the armed forces is explicitly stated to be the head of the executive branch without being the {{wp|head of state}}. The armed forces consists of the [[Imperial Rumahokian Army]] as the land force, the [[Imperial Rumahokian Navy]] as the naval force, the [[Imperial Rumahokian Air Force]] as the air force, and the [[Imperial Rumahokian Gendarmerie]] as both the military police force and the rural civilian police force. The armed forces has abolished {{wp|conscription}} since 1995, and there exists a reservist force known as the [[Imperial Rumahokian Reserves]] for citizens who are regularly-trained and yet have opted not to serve in the armed forces unless needed for mobilisation.
