Evesté

Evesteans all have DID, and paint their faces and wear wigs and differing clothing to distinguish their alters. This is seen as the true way to be, giving precedence to each aspect of a person, rather than forcing them to stay undeveloped. They do this by inducing severe trauma at a young age, in a ritual. Evesteans abhor age, believing decay to rob them of themselves and make them liabilities, so they have the children kill their grandparents in a ritual described as "making each person a people". Before their elders die, usually at age 55 or 60, they are tasked with recording their life's wisdom, and indeed it is encouraged and common for everyone to keep journals, not only to keep track of events for the next alter fronting, but to lessen the burden later in life. Those with more alters are seen as more successful and admirable, and more complete, as they are seen to have explored and developed more sides of themselves. Evesteans are largely neutral as a country, being peaceful and dedicated to the arts, each individual has many varied hobbies and jobs, and so each job may have more than one person doing one person's job, to make up for the fact that the employed person its not available for the entirety of the workday, Evesteans are thus known to be extremely accomplished jacks of all trades, each person may partake in war and also be a selfless priest, as well as a politician and a painter, a laborer and a houseparent. Polygamy is also common, as a person is only considered married to one alter, and one of their alters may be married to yet another person. Parenting is thus seen as a community effort, with each child being raised by their parents, and the partners of their parents' alters. Plastic surgery and cosmetics and cosmetic surgery are extremely common and cheap, safe and advanced, as well as that of prosthetics and colored contacts and hair dye, as people have needs to change their appearance often. The country is known for its varied activities to partake in for tourists, as well as their beauty industry and spas, as nearly everyone deals with the aftereffects of trauma and has needs for therapy and stress relief, though they actively resist the subsequent effect of integration. The country is known to be a safe haven of queer people and those with disabilities or mental illness, as it has never developed a stigma for such things. It is a rich country, and is considered the place to go for spies in need of a face-change and suitable disguise. The Evesteans often stick together, as they are accustomed to speaking to one person, and a second later have that person's body be inhabited by another, while this disquiets most outsiders, unused to such rapid and unpredictable changes.

Oceanic (Temperate)
=== Government ===
Anarchy. Minarchism. Adhocracy
* Their government is based on relatively disorganized principles and institutions, while one needs not worry about red tape and bureaucratic nonsense, one will most definitely have their papers lost, found, processed incorrectly, and promptly forgotten about until long past when you needed them by. Trains will be randomly late or early, but never on time, save for once in a blue moon. And if you want grocery stores and hotels to function the same across the country, you are in for a rude awakening, and it is advised you stay on your feet. Here they wish the government to have as little interference in their lives as possible, thus there are only three institutions; the military, courts, and police. It is a type of capitalist society, for each their own, and while the government will protect you from crime, that is about all it will do. Since things are not well-regulated, there is very little order, and whether or not that restaurant you went to had standardized hygiene practices for food safety depends entirely on the whim of the cook, and their version of cleanliness will most definitely not match those of another restaurant, and probably not even yours. This nation has the guise of a first-world country, but functions much as a second, and a third on a bad day. This country is an anarchy, everything is voluntary, there is no "state", and people are left to govern themselves, thus many fugitives come to disappear into the chaos. The main reason the people here have done away with a traditional society, is simply the fact that each person's alters cannot agree on anything, so now they all have their way.
=== Death ===
The bodies of the deceased are chopped into ten pieces (head, torso, 2 legs, 2 arms, 2 hands, 2 feet), and each is given to the ten most important people in their lives, to be buried under their houses and thus forever with them. The elderly are killed at age 60 by their grandchildren in a solemn ceremony using the family's ancestral dagger, or a cheap dagger for a few coins at a market stall, the children must slit either the throat or the wrists and comfort the dying family member. The children are usually given the hands.

== People ==
The temperament of the people varies greatly by area, some are brusque, stoic, and introverted, while some are warm, lively, and loud. Interestingly enough, there is no segregation of types, as each person is oftentimes both. There are no people over the age of 60, though there are some secreted away in isolated countryside villages, who live with their children that do not have DID, these numbers are thought to be small, but are in fact larger and growing faster than most would have expected.
== Geography ==
The climate and geography greatly resembles that of France, Germany, and Austria. The buildings are very mismatched, some old, some new, some gothic and fancy, while some are blocky, plain, and utilitarian.
