Multiculturalism In The New Dusk Conclave

The effects of multiculturalism on the culture of the New Dusk Conclave.

History and Background

Multiculturalism is where groups of communities from various species and Civilizations joined another, creating a mesh of a civilization. And the whole multicultural state of the New Dusk Conclave began in YE 41 when the New Dusk Conclave began accepting individuals and large groups of people who belong to species other than humans. Many people have come from rich cultural backgrounds, and because many cultures can enrich the New Dusk Conclave, it could continue.

In YE 43 the New Dusk Conclave is evolving, and immigration is still accepted, and even with the changes there will always be room for some side effects of Multiculturalism.

1)

Food

The founders of New Dusk Conclave were refugees who had escaped Planet Osman. The urgency in their need to escape meant that they had to leave some styles of food behind because of the limited space on their ships. Losing life also meant that it lessened those skilled in culinary arts and no longer around to support the group. Soon other refugee groups joined them. The first were the Tsumi, who no longer had a home of their own.

The next group of refugees were the Separa'Shan as they were fleeing their homeworld of Sssia as it came under attack by the Kuvexian. Those who have arrived after this were immigrants who were seeking adventure and fortune elsewhere. The immigrants and refugees have brought new styles of food. This included unique styles the founders did not yet possess the skills to create because of their previous location. As the food was brought, so too did the culture, holidays, and traditions follow along.

Immigration and refugees weren’t the only things to bring along food. Corporations also influenced food within the NDC. Those were Equilibrium Foods who shared food even during wartime. They brought along fruit, vegetables, meat, and seeds so that additional fruit and vegetables could be planted in their farmlands. The second to follow the first was the The Pangalactic chophouse of Waffles. This corporation offers menus of breakfast items and fried foods or some combination of the two, and additional other fancy foods like steak. As time passed, more corporations have joined from Yamatai’s side, and Nepleslia’s, and other nations.

While the Officer Exchange program was in operation, a few NDC soldiers took part in it. It exposed them to other styles of food common in Yamatai, and this added to the NDC’s food capabilities. Over time, things changed. As new styles of food, new chefs, bakers, and cooks came to be.

Further along, will show what cultures had brought to the NDC.

Yamatai

The call of adventure can affect many, causing them to leave behind their homes. This is true for Yamatai citizens too, who had left their empire. The NDC, as a new nation, can bring a new adventure. This meant that many stayed, and as a result, Yamataian style foods follow suit. Thanks to trade, seeds to various Yamataian ingredients were invested and later settled in NDC, farms. They made new fields, some were Paddy fields, and they imported a few fish. The Fish hatched and allowed to breed to produce a reliable fish market with imported, cloned, and captured fish.

There are chefs skilled in Sushi, and businesses which were in charge of outlets like Ramen To Go, and Meat On A Stick. Other corporations came that came from Yamatai were Takeda House and Kikyo Pie Company.

3)

Nepleslian

The journeying chefs from Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia have contributed Burgers and Fries to the buffets of not merely the diner, but the home. Already Potatoes and Beef were a few ingredients the New Dusk Conclave had access to. But without the automation required, they couldn’t make any of the cuisine.

They covered these foodstuffs with those that the Equilibrium Foods have produced along.

Tsumi

Tsumi kitchen isn't at all too impressive, perhaps even the same could be believed for their chefs. Tsumi focuses on quantity over quality and their kitchens feature little to no finesse. Their cooking is often heavily salted, spiced, or peppered, commonly their food platters make up grain, vegetables, and an overabundance of flesh. However, it is not altogether uncommon for them to have platters that consist solely of meat.

Iromakuanhe

The NDC makes use of the Sogol Group, so that their Iromakuanhe inhabitants in the territory can have food that they might want to eat. These come from their Domesticated Flora and Their Domesticated Fauna, they also have Mazrit Brandy to drink. Some items were made so that non-Iromakuanhe can eat them.

Excluded

Abwehran food is harmful to non-Abwehr, but for the Abwehr who live in the New Dusk Conclave and can’t eat non-Abwehr food, the trading companies that are in operation will have an abundance of Abwehr food. The same could be said for other species like the Senti.

Holidays and Traditions

This section mentions the holidays in the NDC.

Yamatai

Yamatai traditionally comprised a very cultured nation, and they moreover enjoy a few holidays. Because of immigration, holidays followed along, and they found inclusion in the New Dusk Conclave. This was done because the included holidays appeared to be enjoyable days to celebrate.Love Day is where Love is celebrated, and because of that, they incorporated it in the NDC, with the same date included.

Ocean Day instantly became a reason for the hard-working Duskerian to spend the day out and relax on the local beach away from work. When the Exodus fleet left their home of Osman, they had lost their sons and daughters to evil. So when prospective Yamataian immigrants brought along Children's Day, they included it with great enthusiasm. 4)

Abwehran

After moving and establishing their home in the NDC. The Abwehran have brought along their own holidays and festivals to the NDC. Though the Holidays and festivals aren’t observed by the greater faction, The Abwehran could do so to safeguard their civilization.

Senti

The Senti people are a migratory people who spend their lives in ships out in space. But this doesn’t prevent them from having their customs and Rituals. One such custom is that they had was that their dead are given a special funeral where they are converted to a metallic alloy. This can be made into Ships, armor, and depending on their deaths, even weapons.

Separa'Shan

Separa'Shan are typically a diverse people, and they have a diverse Separa'shan Culture. The diverse culture depends on which certain parts of the world the visitor is currently located. The only consistent, constant would be the religion.

Iromakuanhe

There are several Iromakuanhe that make the New Dusk Conclave their home. Much like with many Species, they have their traditions and holidays. These traditions and holidays can be found on the linked calendar page Iromakuanhe Calendar.

Other Info

Mannerisms

As a culture, Yamataians are respectful to their elders, and they were a hard-working people. This meshes well with the rest of the NDC. Those raised by Yamataian immigrants, the children and descendants may be influenced in this way.Nepleslia are skilled with firearms, while trained with gun safety, which influenced some local laws.

Fashion

In the NDC, there are no laws that prevent anyone from wearing any sort of Fashion. This means that if anyone wants to wear a Kimono, or a Yukata, they can. The authorities will likely not bat an eye, unless the outfit has rude slogans on them. They can wear the outfits of their heritage.

Language

The New Dusk Conclave speak Trade (language) it is mainly their national language though it's used for trading. Because of immigration, Yamataigo (邪馬台語), Seraphim, and language can be heard in food courts, and international conferences.
