The '''Occident''' (from the Latin word occidens, "sunset, West", in contrast to the Orient, from the Latin word oriens, "rise, East") refers generally to the western hemisphere, and more specifically to 'traditional' formal Christian tradition civilization. The exact definition of 'the Occident' varies wildly depending on context, time period, and social group, but consistently includes Latin and Romance nations such as [[Caphiria]], [[Urcea]], and eastern [[Sarpedon]] and southern [[Levantia]]. The most stringent definition of the Occident centers on the civilizations extended from the legal tradition and/or ethnic makeup of the indigenous peoples around the [[Sea of Canete]] and [[Urlazio]], namely the [[Istroya|Istroyans]] and the [[Adonerum|Adonerii]]. In its wider use, 'Occidental' can include the Gaelic world, Gothica, parts of [[Kiro-Borealis]], parts of southern [[Crona]], and southern Sarpedon as well in almost any combination. Colonies of the powers of these areas are sometimes considered peripheral parts of the Occident regardless of global location.


The Occidental world refers to various nations depending on the context, most often including at least part of Crona, northern Ixnay, and Levantia with the status of Kiro-Borealis being disputed by some authors. Also known as the West, there are many accepted definitions, all closely interrelated. The Occident (from the Latin word occidens, "sunset, West") in contrast to the Orient (from Latin word oriens, "rise, East") or Eastern world, a delineation made from the perspective of Levantia and Sapredon in relation to Audonia, as most world maps now include Levantia in the center.
The use of the word ''occidens'', or 'West/sunset' in Latin was originally related to the continent of Sarpedon and the early Latin states' relative position to the Orient, or ''oriens'', for 'East/sunrise', composed of the combined landmass of [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]], the latter of which was well-known early in recorded history through trade. Though most maps now seat Levantia and Sarpedon at the center of the world, the term has stuck as a shorthand for the Latin/Christian/Western world.
 
==Forms of the Occident==
Kiro-Borealis is considered part of the Occident when the reference is to whyte folks but not when referencing the greater Latinic influenced greater Odoneru basin. The Coscivian civilisation is considered unique from the rest of the Occident and can sometimes be referenced as the ''Borient''. It is also home to a staunch Anti-Occidental cultural movement.
====Latin Purist====
 
As mentioned above, the purist position on the nature of the Occident restricts it specifically to Istroyan and Adonerii-descent civilizations, namely [[Caphiria]] and [[Urcea]]. Caphirian ultranationalists have been known to exclude every other nation, including Urcea, from their definition of the Occident.
== Nomenclature ==
====Classical Occident====
 
The 'Classic Occident' referring back to the definition used by its Adonerii inventors, originally referred to the world around [[Urlazio]] and later to the Christian world in general, has been expanded to both the Latin nations and the Romance ones with Latin-descended legal traditions. In most cases [[Gothica]] generally falls under this definition as a peripheral region, as does much of northern Levantia and Slavic southern Sarpedon.
"''Occidental''", intended originally as a shorthand for the {{wp|Christian}} world surrounding the [[Odoneru]], has lead to considerable controversy. within this controversy are the "inclusivists", who use the term to refer to the similar Christian civilizational current which surrounds the [[Odoneru Ocean]]. Opposing them are the "exclusivists", who disagree internally about definitions themselves, although almost all agree on excluding [[Coscivians]] from the definition. Many favor a position which only includes [[Levantia]] and the [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Istroyan civlization|Istroyan]] portions of [[Sarpedon]]. The "grand exclusivist" position entirely discards nationalities and countries that do not descend from the Latinic and Istroyan traditions rather exclusively, discarding all of [[Ultmar]] and northern [[Levantia]].  
====Wider Occident====
 
Also known as Kiro-Occidentalism, the Wider Occident includes the Coscivian and Gaelic civilizations, creating a periphery not within Levantia, but around Sarpedon and Levantia as a whole, with the periphery in colonies within the Orient itself. This definition generally includes the entirety of the Christian and Christian-descent world, including sects outside of the Catholic Church. This position is often favored as a compromise position that puts [[Coscivian civilisation]] on equal footing with Latin civilization.
"''Kiro-Occidental''" is an inclusive compromise term intended to refer to a greater cultural world which refers to the traditionally "Occcidental world" of all Christian or Christian-descent nations of [[Levantia]] and the [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Istroyan civlization|Istroyan]] portions of [[Sarpedon]] while also making reference to the [[Coscivian]] civilization on equal footing to the Occident. The term has seen increasing academic and popular use, especially within [[Urcea]].
==== Borient====
 
In opposition to the Wider Occident position, Coscivian and Gaelic nationalists often count the Coscivian world as a third counter to the East and West. This position is somewhat related to the [[Counter-Equatorial Movement]].

==Culture==
<br />''The School of Istroya'' depicts a fictional gathering of the most prominent thinkers of classical antiquity.
Occidental, or Western, culture broadly includes several key social norms, ethics, customs, religious beliefs, political systems, and technologies either endemic to or adopted by its constituent peoples. In addition, various subgroups in the Occidental umbrella are often typed as having certain characteristics, although these may change radically over time and are not monolithic for any given people or nation. There is a great deal of overlap in peoples in reality and these general tenets are not absolute.
 
====Core Occidental Traits ====
The term "Western culture" is used very broadly to refer to a heritage of social norms, ethical values, traditional customs, religious beliefs, political systems, and specific artifacts and technologies.
*Christian cultural influence on moral, ethical, and philosophical theory and tradition.
 
*Monogamous mating for life under a rite of marriage.
Specifically, Western culture may imply:
*Embrace of the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions and the Enlightenment philosophical tree, especially Humanism.
 
*The employment of multi-party or ostensibly multi-party parliamentary systems of legislation.
:* a Biblical Christian cultural influence in spiritual thinking, customs and either ethic or moral traditions, around the Post-Classical Era and after.
*Conception of societal hierarchy in terms of economic class rather than birth caste.
:* Sea of Odoneru cultural influences concerning artistic, musical, folkloric, ethic and oral traditions, whose themes have been further developed by Romanticism.
====Istroyo-Adonerii Culture Group====
:* a Istroyo-Adonerii Classical and Renaissance cultural influence, concerning artistic, philosophic, literary, and legal themes and traditions, the cultural social effects of migration period and the heritages of Celts, Goths, Slavs and other ethnic groups, as well as a tradition of rationalism in various spheres of life, developed by Hellenistic philosophy, Scholasticism, Humanisms, the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment.
*Linear conception of time (shared with Audonian cultures).
 
*Legal theory, philosophy, and art based in Latin tradition.
The concept of Oddicental culture is generally linked to the classical definition of the ''Western world''. In this definition, Western culture is the set of literary, scientific, political, artistic and philosophical principles that set it apart from other civilizations. Much of this set of traditions and knowledge is collected in the Western canon.
*Art focuses on emotional exploration and expression.
 
*Latin Script extant.
The term has come to apply to countries whose history is strongly marked by Odoneru immigration or settlement, such as northern Sarpedon, and Levantia, and sometimes Kiro-Borealis, are often included. With the emergence of Cronin people, many nations in Crona are also now included within the term.
* Heavy featuring of dichotomy and binary themes.
 
====Coscivian Culture Group====
Some tendencies that define modern Western societies are the existence of political pluralism, laicism, generalization of middle class, prominent subcultures or countercultures (such as New Age movements), increasing cultural syncretism resulting from globalization and human migration. The modern shape of these societies is strongly based upon the Industrial Revolution and the societies' associated social and environmental problems, such as class and pollution, as well as reactions to them, such as syndicalism and environmentalism.
*Lunar Calendar system and irrealist conception of time.
 
*Distinct legal tradition perpendicular to Latin development of Absolutism.
== Occidental nations ==
*Independently developed philosophical tradition overlapping large portions of Latin philosophy.
{| class="wikitable sortable"
*Art tradition focuses on multisensory experience through aesthetics, including deliberate inducing of synæsthia.
*Coscivian script largely extant.
====Gallic Culture Group====
* Circular concept of time and conception of the dead as legally and socially extant but rendered invalid.
*Hybrid legal and philosophical tradition drawing from local, Latin, and Coscivian sources.
*Art focuses on exploration of aesthetics to guide human behaviors.
* Unique script largely usurped by Latin script.
*Extended family (Clan) as the base unit of the social group rather than immediate family (shared with Alshari and Cronan cultures).
==== Gothic Culture Group ====
* Linear conception of time.
* Unique languages adopting the Latin script.
* Legal tradition divergent from but based in Latin law and philosophy.
* Art is primarily concerned with transmitting information in an aesthetically attractive format.
==== Slavic Culture Group ====
* Linear conception of time.
* Unique languages in Cyrillic script.
* Alternative legal and philosophical tradition developed in parallel with Latin thought.
* Art is focused on integration of social status/wealth displays and displays of adherence to social traditions.

The Occident (from the Latin word occidens, "sunset, West", in contrast to the Orient, from the Latin word oriens, "rise, East") refers generally to the western hemisphere, and more specifically to 'traditional' formal Christian tradition civilization. The exact definition of 'the Occident' varies wildly depending on context, time period, and social group, but consistently includes Latin and Romance nations such as Caphiria, Urcea, and eastern Sarpedon and southern Levantia. The most stringent definition of the Occident centers on the civilizations extended from the legal tradition and/or ethnic makeup of the indigenous peoples around the Sea of Canete and Urlazio, namely the Istroyans and the Adonerii. In its wider use, 'Occidental' can include the Gaelic world, Gothica, parts of Kiro-Borealis, parts of southern Crona, and southern Sarpedon as well in almost any combination. Colonies of the powers of these areas are sometimes considered peripheral parts of the Occident regardless of global location.

The use of the word occidens, or 'West/sunset' in Latin was originally related to the continent of Sarpedon and the early Latin states' relative position to the Orient, or oriens, for 'East/sunrise', composed of the combined landmass of Alshar and Audonia, the latter of which was well-known early in recorded history through trade. Though most maps now seat Levantia and Sarpedon at the center of the world, the term has stuck as a shorthand for the Latin/Christian/Western world.

Forms of the Occident

Latin Purist

As mentioned above, the purist position on the nature of the Occident restricts it specifically to Istroyan and Adonerii-descent civilizations, namely Caphiria and Urcea. Caphirian ultranationalists have been known to exclude every other nation, including Urcea, from their definition of the Occident.

Classical Occident

The 'Classic Occident' referring back to the definition used by its Adonerii inventors, originally referred to the world around Urlazio and later to the Christian world in general, has been expanded to both the Latin nations and the Romance ones with Latin-descended legal traditions. In most cases Gothica generally falls under this definition as a peripheral region, as does much of northern Levantia and Slavic southern Sarpedon.

Wider Occident

Also known as Kiro-Occidentalism, the Wider Occident includes the Coscivian and Gaelic civilizations, creating a periphery not within Levantia, but around Sarpedon and Levantia as a whole, with the periphery in colonies within the Orient itself. This definition generally includes the entirety of the Christian and Christian-descent world, including sects outside of the Catholic Church. This position is often favored as a compromise position that puts Coscivian civilisation on equal footing with Latin civilization.

Borient

In opposition to the Wider Occident position, Coscivian and Gaelic nationalists often count the Coscivian world as a third counter to the East and West. This position is somewhat related to the Counter-Equatorial Movement.

Culture

Occidental, or Western, culture broadly includes several key social norms, ethics, customs, religious beliefs, political systems, and technologies either endemic to or adopted by its constituent peoples. In addition, various subgroups in the Occidental umbrella are often typed as having certain characteristics, although these may change radically over time and are not monolithic for any given people or nation.
