Traditions
Haromian
The Haromians are known for being the most civilized of race of the Anean Star Empire. As a result, they tend to have a culture that reflects it. A majority of the tradition of the Haromians could be viewed as prudish or conservative to nations that lean further left generally. With a largely military centric mindset, Haromians are also
Dress
Dress for Haromians is generally quite conservative. Many men have shirt and ties, even business suits, and the women have long dresses or suits. Of course, it's not always quite this formal, but for many Haromians this is a preferred dress style.
Dining
Dining is, actually, an important event for most Haromian families. It gives a chance for the family to get together and is believed to promote family values. Moreover it allows promotion of religious values among the young. During dining there are rules in place, but that is generally restricted to more formal dining with regular dining more laid back and talkative.
Formal Events
Always wanting to be flashy at times, formal events are a favorite of Haromians. It gives them a chance to dress elegantly. Unwritten tradition is that all attendees are to attempt to outdress each other. As it became more well known, it became a game of sorts to many; allowing for another dimension to the events beyond what it is for on the surface.
Religion
Haromians are a very religious people. Following the Pantheon, many believe that their beliefs are proper. When confronted with other beliefs, they generally listen, but don't speak against it. The more vocal, however, will get into debate about the subject or, if more outspoken, will degrade the belief loudly and belligerently.
Entertainment
Haromian entertainment is much different than the rest of the Empire. While the Remnorans frequent the nightclubs and other such establishments, Haromians have opera houses and theaters for plays.
Society
Society in predominately Haromian communities is very structured, but also quite regulated at times. Censorship, while it may be limited or even nonexistent in many other places, is quite prevalent in Haromian communities. Censorship of sexuality and nudity is commonplace, if it even appears. Prohibition of all alcohol and drugs, as well as special task forces that hunt them down, is also common.
Holidays and Important Dates
Haromians are odd in that some of the holidays they celebrate are not celebrated in other parts of the Empire. For example, LF Day and Independence Day are Haromian only holidays, since it doesn't have the same meaning to other races as it does for Haromians.
- Independence Day (Victory over the Haromian Empire): October 5
- LF Day (Liberation from the Federation): February 3
- Emperor Welhan's Birthday: July 28
- Veteran's Week: First Week of March
- Election Day: January 1
- Inauguration Day: January 14
Remnoran
Remnorans, as compared to Haromians, are a generally less inhibited race. Many are thrill seekers or partake in types of activities that would be deplorable by Haromian standards.
