=== The Canespian Mission === | === The Canespian Mission === | ||
The Canespian mission is a relatively new idea within Canespa. Developed by Mamallaqta Runa in 1879 it has been a defining characteristic of the Canespian worldview and culture. The Idea of the Canespian Mission is the idea that Canespa should be a counterweight to let the rest of the world develop. Instead of industrializing Canespa should make it's mission feeding the world. The idea was picked up by a young CEO of the Canasta Company and he knew that the Canasta Company would fulfill the Canespian Mission. The mission is still an integral part of how the country operates as almost all industrial infrastructure is banned within Canespa as long as it doesn't pertain to the production food. | The Canespian mission is a relatively new idea within Canespa.

The second Canespian mission is a vary new idea that picked up steam in the early 2020s. The idea was quite different from the mission of feeding the world in that it was localized. The second Canespian mission referred to Canespa's mission to free the Cusinaut and Northern Crona from the clutches of outside influence. This idea lead to the aggressive foreign policy that Canespa pursued in 2033 and 2034. Due to the events of the summer of 2034 the second Canespian mission is a more popular idea then ever that more then 80% of Canespan's want to pursue. This is in contrast to 40% of Canespan's believing it to be actually possible. | |||

Separated from the world for so long. Canespa developed traditions differently and had traditions not seen else where in the world. Canespa developed an odd sense of marriage compared to traditional occidental versions. In Canespan culture the wife and husband were not considered married until they had their first child. Once a couple had a child they became as occidentals call it "married". There would be a ceremony within the family or the town depending on the size of either of them. This does create a question though. What if someone had kids with more then one person. Well in Canespan society this was not seen as a complete taboo as long as the previous wife was part of a house that allowed it in all cases or if they were ok with it. The houses that allowed it were as follows, House Papa, House Espada, and House Wasi. This group of houses are often referred to as the Southern Houses and are culturally similar. This was also one of the cultural differences that developed between North Canespa and South Canespa. Men with multiple wives or in rare cases woman with multiple husbands are referred to as Achka. Achka are expected to be in charge of the security of both families along with keeping them close. A big taboo in Canespan culture is trying to abandon one of your families for another and equal love is expected to be shown to both families. Divorce was not a concept founded within Canespa and the only way a separation of any kind could occur was through death. With the lack of divorce being present. People had to be vary careful of who they considered to have children with. In most houses it was and remains to be illegal to have intercourse for any reason other then to produce offspring with another individual after you have already secured a "wife". The only house where this rule is not present is in House Kanchi, probably the most distinct house culturally. | |||
When a woman gave birth in Canespa all means necessary were used to track down the father of said child. If the father could not be determined the baby would be adopted away to another family if one could be found. In no cases was a baby allowed to be raised when only one unmarried person was available to raise them. If the mother or father died before any child within their family turned 10 then all the children within the family would be adopted off. While these practices are still around today they are loosened and if a spouse is to die then no child will be taken away. This does make single parents quite hard to come by in Canespa. If a child's father is determined then both the parents of the child would go through a ceremony in which they would have to survive within the wilderness all on their own for a week with the baby. If they all could stay alive for a week then they were determined to be parents capable of raising a child and the child was determined strong enough to grow up and live as a working member of society. If a parent died on the expedition then the child would be adopted off. If the child on the other hand died then the couple was seen as being genetically incompatible and they would not be allowed to reproduce with each other again. After the conclusion of the week long expedition a huge ceremony would occur between the families of the husband and wife. During this ceremony the wives parents would send her off to the house of the husband if they were not already part of the same house. There would be dancing and music during the ceremony and a large feast if the town was not falling behind food wise. These ceremonies were described as being a wonderful time for the village. | |||
