Literature
:
Barbettian literature is mostly fictional, and ranges from fantasy to science fiction, and from dystopian novels to general action/adventure novels. One type of book that makes Barbettia unique is a collaborative fiction book. This would be where one author writes a chapter, and another writes the next chapter, and so on. Another unique characteristic of Barbettia's literature would be extensive development of settings. The settings in Barbettian books are detailed and planned outside of the book. This is known as worldbuilding. Detailed pictures and models of Barbettian-created worlds are created to help the authors visualize what's going on in the story and where the characters are.
Festivities:
Barbettians celebrate Independence Day, on February 15th. On Barbettian Independence Day, Barbettians celebrate their rights such as free speech, and freedom of religion and expression. Barbettian folk songs include "Grine yak doich epa grine yak hoise," and "Tros epa laja mindo ril Barbettian," and "Aboba epa ama." These songs are recited at the Barbettian Arts and Culture Show. The National Anthem of the Empire of Barbettia is "Tros epa laja mindo ril Barbettian." It consists of six verses, and is 80 words long. The anthem has piano sheet music and vocals.
Common activities in Barbettia are chess, association football, table tennis, and pong ball (a Barbettian-invented sport). Pong Ball is a team sport played on a (preferably indoor) court. There are teams of at least 2 to up to 5 players, and each team has its own goal and goalie.
Food
:
One popular dish in Barbettia is Rice samosas (samosas with only rice inside of them, but cooked without the rice first). Rice, beans, and avocados are some popular foods eaten in Barbettia. Barbettian drinks include milk, ginger ale, and clove ale. Clove ale is a drink invented by one of the Barbettian Kings. It is made in a similar way to Ginger Ale, but with the flavor of cloves instead. Barbettians use a variety of spices to make their food taste good. Some Barbettians bake bread and pastries. In the spirit of self-sufficiency, some Barbettians grow their own food and support organic farming.
Language:
Barbettia has a well-developed culture. Barbettia created its own language, drinks, cuisine, and music. Ceremonial Barbettian music is written in the ceremonial language, Barbettian. The Barbettian language, though once spoken as a regular language, is now reserved for ceremonial purposes. It was originally a secret language, but is now open to all Barbettian citizens. Barbettians speak Esperanto, Portuguese and English for day to day communication.
