===People===
In Zhousheng, most of the people are combination of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austroasiatic_languages Prei-Phnom] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-European_languages Thuado-Thrismaran] genetic groups. Zhoushi people, have, however, one rarity. It is now widely believed, that [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyly hexadactyly] originated in [[Zaprei Autonomy|Zaprei region]] and by 9th century AD spread thanks to trade routes in [[Bogmian Empire]] into most of present-day Zhousheng. In present days, about 36% of Zhoushi populace have five fingers and one thumb on each hand.
=====Counting system=====
<small>''For the full descriptive article and a full table, see [https://iiwiki.us/wiki/Zhoushi_language#Numbers the page about this language].''</small>
As stated above, thanks to the prominence of hexadactyly between the Zhoushi populace, Zhousheng is one of the few nations, that developed a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodecimal dozenal system]. Zhousheng officially used latinized dozenal system until 1978, when the government officially decided to abandon the system and move towards a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal decimal system]. In school, both systems are told in a paralel to each other, which helps Zhoushi students to better understand numbers and aren't tied to just one graphical representation of the number, supporting abstract thinking. However, this also causes some problems with education, therefore math is being told in kindergarden as well to balance the pressure kids would be subjected during math exams.

Currently, dozenal system is used only sparsely in common use, but for example clocks still retained their original cyclic description (that is 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-ᚴ-ⵒ-ᘐ), so called cyclical symbol, noted as "ᘐ" in new Zhoushi numerals refers to a number in a twelve-step cycle. Example could be clock, where numerals 10, 11 and 12 are replaced by ᚴ, ⵒ and ᘐ to this day. Some translations of the Kaȝin Canon still use dozenal naming, especially in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation Book of Revelation of John].

Zhousheng is split almost equally among Christianity and [[Kammism]]
Zhousheng is a independent country in Elezia, on the continent of TBD, bordering TBD. It was formed in TBD shortly after World War I from the Zhoushi Union, which was a colony. It is officially an unitary democratic state.
Although Christianity is prominent in the North and West, Kammism has a prime role in the South and Southeast. The "Connection religions" is a term used by Zhoushi government to qualify all philosophical relgion hybrids of Kaȝin Christianity and Kammism, trying to find a missing step, so called "Religious bridge (Nabөʒeƞski mөst in modern Zhoushi). This effort comes from the idea, that there is only one truth, but multiple ways to reach it. Those movements (either philosophical and theoretical or even religious cults) are trying to find a connection between Kammist and Christian doctrines, bases & sacred texts. Those movements are supervised by the Zhoushi government in order to prevent spread of dangerous cults to the general populace.
President: Every 4 years
Senate: Every 2 years ⅓ of the senate is replaced in a vote
Parliament: Every 4 years
Regional and municipal: Every 3 years
Process of elections
Elections are held for 36 hours. Voting rooms open at 7AM PMT on Friday and close on 7PM PMT on Saturday (6AM to 6PM PST). People can vote in the voting rooms (every municipality must have at least one voting room. In larger cities, there must be a minimum of one voting room per 10,000 people), by post (voters recieve special ballots with multiple watermarks and then they send a latter to a dedicated place by post (voting letter have purple stripe on them and are required to be delivered in less than 24 hours after the rooms close) or by a electronic device (voters enter their ID with their national passport into a specialised voting app and cast their vote from their home. Vote can be changed during the period of voting).
No campaign time
5 days before elections, it is prohibited to air political campaign rallys, do those rallys or spread any advertisement concerning the elections. 3 days before elections, media are prohibited from posting last-minute public opinion polls. Those rules are put in place to ensure, that there isn't a last-minute propoaganda push that can sway people's emotions and not their rationality.
Upper House (Senate)
Zhoushi Senate has 99 seats, which are distributed proportionally per votes, but only third of the seats are replaced every 2 years and votes are offset by 2 years (meaning that it takes a minimum of 6 years to completely change a senate). Political party can get 45 seats max, ensuring the need for coalition to control the parliament.

Energy
Energy production in Zhousheng (2018)
Nuclear (uranium and thorium) plants (54.3%)
Water and solar plants (22.8%)
Coal and oil power plants (18.8%)
Geothermal energy (4.0%)
Other (0.1%)
Energy consumption is mostly held by 14 nuclear power plants (12 uranium and 2 thorium plants) with pushes to limit coal and oil consumption to a minimimum with getting rid of it by 2050. Currently, water and solar plants are not being built because of the lack of sustainability, as their construction effectively makes the same pollution as coal energy would. However, so called water batteries are being constructed (those pump the water up to a hill when there is a surplus energy avialable, creating potential energy that is later released once there is more demand for energy than can be produced). Geothermal power plants are built on the Thuadio-Sekidean tectonic plate border.
↑Mostly represented by Pangodists. The percentage of people believing some hybrid of Christianity and Kammism is probably way higher, some studies estimate between 30 and 50 per cent, but most of the people rather declare they are part of one of the main religions
