Penland's Culture and Traditions

Languages: First of all, the people of Penland have a common language called Penlandish, which is often referred to as Englanpen, because of the similarities it shares with English. Although Penlandish is spoken in one single way throughout Penland, the written Pelandish can be categorized into two types - the hieroglyfic Penlandish and the alphabetic Penlandish. This division has been created by the conflict between Penland, Voodoo faction and the civilized faction, which are the two most dominant factions existing in the warring lands of Penland. There is not much to say about the Alphabetic Penlandish, as it does not differ much from the original English, but the Hieroglyphic Penlandish is a very interesting language. The Voodoo faction, which values symbols and images more than anyone else, decided to develop an intuitive writing system that was not to be learned but felt. Take a look at this example.

As you can see, the hieroglyphic Penlandish does not require any learning. National flower: Rafflesia, grows in the Voodoo factions National plant: Cactus grows in the dry lands of the civilized faction's religion.

Sport: The national sport of Penland is the Scooter Hockey, which is Hockey played without sticks but with scooters. These scooters have been modified to fit the needs of the sport.
