Culture of Jakania

The culture of Jakania reflects the diverse complicated history of the country. It is a mix of Majatran, Coburan and Deltarian cultures.

Relgion
Jakania is predominantly Queranzariah. Before the arrival of the Jakanians the Turjaks were adherents to animisim.

Slavery
Turjaks once called themselves the Celtoric Tribe but that all changed when they were enslaved by the Great Empire of Turjak.

Sexuality in Jakania
Sex plays an important role in Jakanian society. Since the arrival of the Jakanians in 1050 AD; sex acted as a mean of proving one's honesty, loyalty and legitimacy.

Long before the arrival of the Jakanians in Jakania; the Celtoric Tribe or Turjaks inhabited Jakania, and had their own sexual and relationship practices. This included monogamy and sexual acts only happening within the framework of married life between man and women. Sex for the Tujaks was a private affair which the Jakanians saw as barbaric

In 1050 AD, Jakanians introduced polygamy and sexual and relationship practices that changed the Turjaks drastically.

It is still a tradition for parents to watch their son or daughter consummate a marriage  behind a transparent curtain. The newly-weds had to demonstrate how romantic and gentle they can be to each other in fornt of their parents; ensuring a lasting marriage.

In some cases the male had to demonstrate their love and affection to the mother of his girl, the elite are barred from this practise.

When a new head of state  or government comes to power, they have to undergo an ancient ritual known as the Purification. This whereby the head of state had to perform a sexual act with their sibling or cousin of their opposite sex to legitimise their rule. This was practised by the Turjak Empire when a new sultan was crowned to ensure a pure bloodline. Today it is not cumpulsory to produce an offspring.

Music
The early music of Jakania  featured indigenous sound that flourished before the arrival of the Jakanians. When Jakanians arrived, they introduced Majatran music which became popular and the indignous sounds soon became extinct.

By the end of the Warring States Period, Jakanian music consisted of overtone singing, chanting and lacked musical instruments. Lyrics consisted of glorifying war and frowning upon the Turjaks. Many historians say the Warring States Period destroyed Jakanian music.

After the unification of Jakania in 2117, there were attempts to modernise Jakanian music.
