Occidental world: Difference between revisions

(top part - worn out trying to make direct port of gaelic culture look filled out next to Coscivian and Latin, gotta expand it and rewatch/reread philosophy and other stuff to expand it past 'ireland beer potato haha depression')
Line 4: Line 4:
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.

==== 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====
==== 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.

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==
==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. There is a great deal of overlap in peoples in reality and these general tenets are not absolute.
