[edit] Customs

Many Indralan customs are influenced by the ancient Indralans who followed the Qamido religion. Qamido festivals are still celebrated, although only about 9% of the people of Indrala practice Qamido. [edit] Holidays

The government of Indrala officially recognizes the following seven holidays:

New Year's Day - January 1

Sea Eagle Day - February 15

Kinentsuri - March 15

Democracy Day - June 12

Blessed Rainy Day - September 22

Niinametsuri - October 31

Festivus - December 23

Since Indrala uses the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Day is celebrated on January 1.

Sea Eagle Day is a national holiday in honor of Indrala's national animal, the sea eagle.

Kinentsuri is a holiday of Qamido origin, although many who do not consider themselves children of Qami celebrate it in some way. It is celebrated at the beginning of spring to pray for a rich harvest in the fall.

On Democracy Day, Indralans are encouraged to remember to exercise their democratic rights.

Blessed Rainy Day marks the end of the monsoon season.

Niinametsuri is an other holiday of Qamido origin and goes hand in hand with Kinentsuri. The purpose of the holiday is to offer thanks after a successful harvest.

Festivus is celebrated by most Indralans. Many families spend the day together having Festivus dinner, airing greivances with each other, and participating in the "feats of strength."

Steub Shtobson Day is a festival celebrated on September 10th in Endaris, Akuzia, Indrala. [edit] Entertainment

Indralans do a wide variety of things to entertain themselves. [edit] Music

Indralan music comes in many genres. Indralan folk music often utilizes guitars, maracas, harmonicas, drums, and various other percussion instruments. Use of the unique traditional pentatonic scale [1, ь3, ь5, ь6, ь7] has largely died out due to international influence. Indrala is also considered to be the birthplace of Terra's dub and reggae music. More recently, several rock bands have become popular. A few have even achieved international fame.

Indralan film first became widely known with the release of the experimental film "Ijo Wen Sujiran"(My Neighborhood) in 1992. The film was made underground because of the rigid rules regarding artistic expression during the Shinohe period. During the 2150s, the actor Arnulsi Shurtzuo starred in a series of hit action movies dubbed "The Misanthropeinater Trilogy." The films' plots were extremely simplistic and were denounced by the cultural elite as degenerate. [edit] Sport

Indralans tend to be quite physically active. Some of the nation's favorite activites include football (soccer, which is considered to be the national sport), badminton, cross country running, and rugby. [edit] Food

Rice and corn are by far the most important components in the cuisine of Indrala. The average Indralan consumes 350 lbs of rice per year. Indralan foods also tend to be very spicy. [edit] Visual Arts An Indralan artist's batik painting. Enlarge An Indralan artist's batik painting.
