The Rakkimarran Way

The Rakkimarran Way was the cultural ideal/way of life of most of the people of Rakkimar - the Rakki, Essu, Yuren, and everyone else. 
In Rakki, it was called tavrituvuulikiallarakki ('the Rakki doctrine', or tavrit for short), and by the Essu, it was called raadviqatła ('the way of life'). 
The Rakkimarrans rejected capitalism and the Halcyian model of communism. They rejected the notion of a state and of personal wealth. Instead, they focused on collectivism. In Rakkimar, you were not successful if you were rich. Instead, you were successful if you had a large family, if you were safe, full, warm, and well-respected by your community. Rakkimarrans did not try to exploit resources for profit. They sought to protect one another from the harsh landscape they lived in.
Certain local traditions, like the Solvanggaqessu (Solvenger Essu)'s traditions of giving free drinks to travellers, reflected the Rakkimaran Way.
Traditionally, the Rakkimarrans didn't use money - they used a barter system, trading goods or labour with each other. However, they began to use money in the modern era simply to be able to trade with those outside their sphere of influence, and eventually currency took off within their community. Compared to the rest of the world, Rakkimarrans were much less wealthy, but way more happier.
