#buyan

The original Buyanski flag.

Blue - harmony, faith in Perun and the gods

White - justice, restoration of Buyan, uplifting the people to glory

Seas - turbulent history, knowledge of historical disaster to guide Buyanski out of evil

long context post

Eosome is one of the two official languages of Buyan, as the common language used by the indigenous Wonao people. The use of Eosome is an act of patriotism against Terran rule.

Three kinds of people are seen as enemies to Buyanski society, with varying extents:

Terrans

Collectively hated as oppressors due to their 400 years of misrule and abuse towards Buyanski people. It was also due to the severe corruption practiced all over the Terran colonies that divided and occupied Buyan, all for the sake of war and power, resulting in widespread abuse and murder.

Not all Terrans are subject to contempt: those who willingly joined or surrendered to the revolutionaries were usually spared. Those who are seen as repentant, refusing to participate in such corruption and cruelty, are also accepted into Buyanski society.

Frauds

As victims of fraudsters, or collectively by Terran rulers who lied to them and kept most Buyanski in poverty, the Buyanski revived their traditional hatred of frauds.

In ancient Wonao and Buyanski culture, fraud is listed as one of the worst sins, and frauds were usually punished by death.

This was also due to the Buyanski seeking revenge against the Salvationist Party. For their role in allowing the Terrans to colonise and enslave Buyan, the Salvationist Party (Sterne Spasanverije) is seen as one of the Terran colonisers who fought for control over the entire island. Salvationists, or Sterspasniks, became hated as among the worst of all traitors and frauds, especially because of their supremacist views and attacks against their own people.

Trolls

Online trolling was very popular among the Terran colonies, both due to it being a trend that lasted for centuries, and the war between the Terran empires that influenced their society.

The same culture of trolling fuelled a society of lying, abuse, and murder, where every form of cruelty was acceptable as long as it did not affect the trolls. Inevitably, nearly every Terran who participated in this "culture" received cruelty, even as they continued to grieve in rage if they managed to survive.

Horrified by this vicious cycle of abuse, and angered by the hypocritical attitudes of the trolls, the Buyanski prohibited any of their own people from any behaviours seen as "trollish". Ancient taboos were revived as a code of honour, so practices such as sadism and whataboutism were punished with cruelty, as if the offenders immediately became war criminals. Terrans became collectively known as "trolls" due to the widespread practice of trolling and harrassment, along with any Buyanski who also behaved like them.

The national flag of Buyan is blue, with an albatross. In Buyanski and Wonao mythology, the albatross is a messenger of the gods.

Blue represents faith in the gods and peace, and white represents the justice that ensures peace continues to thrive without fear. The blue also represents the sky and sea, becoming one: and the justice of the Gods protecting Buyan and its people.
