Mainland

= Mainland: A Cultural and Political Capital = A landmass that includes Eden, the Paradiso's Capital city, and the richest people alive. Earning a visa to enter Mainland is exceedingly difficult, as you must know detailed information of Paradiso's (sanitized version of) history, and you must make above a certain high earning bracket. The population of poor people are below 5%. The only poor people who live on Mainland are indentured servants who make little to nothing for their efforts, and tend to be people of color who have committed low level crimes.

Mainland is a fashion capital as well, the entire globe's fashion trends almost always start here, then make their way to neighboring Paradiso's landmasses. Clothing is very important. Proper dressing and color theory for matching outfits are taught in school. Most clothing is unbearably posh, with suits and gowns being worn almost daily by all residents. Skin color is valued the most here, and all residents without pale skin are advised to wear light makeup or to bleach it white.

Mainland has the highest average lifespans for it's residents. Medical care, while at it's best, is the most expensive here.

Even for non-Paradisians, Mainland is viewed as the greatest place one can aspire to live at. It is viewed as almost a paradise of unfathomable riches. It is a large majority of everyone's dream to live in Mainland one day.

Culte is dominated by the worship of police force and government powers. There are no rebellions to be had here, because it's residents tend to live the greatest lives possible; comfortable and sheltered. Christianity and Catholicism are practiced by nearly everyone.

Speaking anything that isn't proper Communia is considered uncivilized. Best to avoid it if you want to be respected.
