The **Stotfordians** are an ethnoracial group native to the Southambian federal subjects of Bolme, Gatle, Paphaneiato, and Stotford. The group consists of the Stotfordians, Whitherburians, Sealisterians, and Gatfordians. Stotfordians are most recognisable for their abnormally taller stature than non-Stotfordians with an average height of 6' 5" amongst men and 6'1" amongst women. Stotfordians, prior to entering Southambia, shared a common culture, history, and very similar religions. However, following their entrance and subsequent integration into Southambia, many Stotfordians moved to Holney and Tabrad, where most converted to the Manburism Church. Stotfordians were also originally classified as a minority race because of their distinct cultures, languages, and religions from the Luari-dominated Southambian heartland, however, following the deposition of Ottfried Vasary, the Stotfordians were declassified as a minority race and were treated as normal subjects of Southambia. Stotfordians currently make up the majority populations in Bolme, Gatle, Paphaneiato and Stotford, and have major communities in Bambelister, Holney, and Tabrad. Since the deposition of the Vasarites in Stotford, the Manburism, Hantzism, and Geocwasism churches have begun to rise in popularity amongst Stotfordians.

## Background

### Elladan

The Elladans are the second largest Stotfordian ethnicity being behind the Koryo. However, despite this population difference, they're generally regarded as the most well-known ethnicity amongst the Stotfordians, with the Elladan language being the most spoken amongst Stotfordians. The Elladans generally dominant Stotfordian and Paphaneiatan politics, whilst being less dominant in Bolmean and Gatlean politics.

### Koryo

The Koryo are the largest Stotfordian ethnicity. Despite being less recognised than the Elladans, the Koryo make up almost a majority of Stotford, and have a supermajority in Bolme, and Gatle. Koryo, while still sharing a common cultural and historical identity, are distinct in their own right when it comes to physical appearance, and religion.

## **Religion**

### Modern

A

Historically Stotfordians were divided into numerous Cults, and Religions. Although during the Magistracy of Skolar Vasary, a Personality Cult was formed around him, Stotfordians remained in their native religions and cults. Stotfordians outside of Stotford however believed in the respective religion of those areas, fanatics living outside of Stotford generally believed in the same cults from Stotford as they would if they were living in Stotford. In the year 81;2E, during the Southambian Civil War, Ottfried Vasary would overthrow the Stotford government and form a new faction in the war dubbed the Vasarites. This acted as both a faction and a religion, and became the overall religion of Stotford as a whole replacing the historically active cults and religions.

It is unknown why almost every Stotfordian (including those living outside of Stotford) follow the Vasarite religion.

## **Politics**

### Stotfordians living outside of Stotford

A

Unlike other provinces and cultures, Stotfordians believe in a Stotfordian form of politics. Stotfordians born and raised in Stotford are generally more likely to adopt Stotfordian Regionalism, Stotfordian Nationalism, and Vasarism. This basis for politics was founded by Skolar Vasary when he was the Magistrate of Southambia from 12;2E to 22;2E. Stotfordians outside of Stotford believe in the same politics, but without the belief of Stotfordian Regionalism.

### Vasary influences over Stotfordian Politics

#### Skolar Vasary

*Main Article: Skolar Vasary, Skolar Vasary's cult of personality*

Skolar Vasary was a predominate Stotfordian who served as the Magistrate of Southambia from 12;2E to 22;2E. He failed to seek reelection to a 3rd term after he was narrowly defeated by Socialist Leonard Karter. He would run for election in 26;2E, and planned to run in 31;2E, but was assassinated by an Anti-Vasary Group. From his first term, and after his death, Vasary would form a cult of personality around himself where he proclaimed himself as a God in human form. This idea would live on even after his death. Despite the Cult of Personality, after his death, the cult would slowly die down in size until the Southambian Civil War when Pro-Government Forces, and Conservative Loyalists would clash in conflicts. Out of the civil war, the newly-formed Extremist Group, Vasarites, would take over the Stotford government, and would subsequently declare war on both the Government and the Loyalists. Vasary's grandson, Ottfried Vasary, would become the symbolic leader of the Vasarites, and would work alongside Volkhard Wilfried who would serve as the de facto leader.

#### Ottfried Vasary

*Main Article: Ottfried Vasary, Vasarites*

Ottfried Vasary is a prominent Stotford politician currently serving as the head-of-state for Stotford. Vasary gained power following the Coup d'état of Stotford, and the subsequent entry into the Southambian Civil War. Following the end of the civil war, in which Conservative Loyalist Zacharias Richmond won the 81;2E Southambian Magistracy Election, and seized power in the 7 Day Coup, Vasary signed a deal with Richmond reforming Stotford, establishing the Stotford National Guard, and the recognition of the Vasarite as the rulers of Stotford. Sometime following the deal, Vasary alongside Volkhard Wilfried, and Wolf Von Ottokar established the Social Solidarity Ordinance Party. The party became the sole legal regional party in Stotford, and the Stotford National Guard became the de facto secret police wing of the party. The party adopted autocratic policies, and Stotfordian supremacy.

#### Social Solidarity Ordinance Party

*Main Article: Social Solidarity Ordinance Party*

The Social Solidarity Ordinance Party was the sole legal regional party in Stotford from 81;2E to 105;2E. The party acts as a cult of personality for the Vasary family, and follows the Vasarist ideology. The party itself was founded by Ottfried Vasary, and Volkhard Wilfried, the 2-highest executives in Stotford. The party adopted the Stotford National Guard as it's de facto secret police division, following the Guard's establishment in 81;2E after the end of the Southambian Civil War. In mid-87;2E, the party established the Vasary Youth Program, a nation-wide youth program dedicated to indoctrinating **Stotfordian** youth. The party believed in Stotfordian supremacy, and has been condemned by every party outside of Stotford.

## **Oppression**

### Modern

B

Stotfordians are historically oppressed when it comes to living outside of Stotford, with less than 7,000 Stotfordians living outside of the Reservation. However, in recent years, with the advancement of civil rights, and the candidacy of numerous other minorities, oppression towards Stotfordians became less common, although still the highest race on average to be discriminated against. The reasoning as to why Stotfordians are oppressed is generally unknown, and is thought to be because of their reservation status. Although by National Law, Stotfordians are seen as citizens and able to vote as such, within the provinces and outside of Stotford, Stotfordians experience voting restrictions, and overall voting blockades. Stotfordians also experience less wages than other races, and experience the most hate crimes on average of any race.

## **Characteristics**

Stotfordians are seen as Giants due to their average male height being 6' 5". Stotfordians are seen as an impossible race due to their permanent affiliation with the House of Vasary and it's surrounding worship.
Stotfordians are also known for never having a middle name with only a first and last name being occupied.
