The culture of Hoterallia is one of the oldest in Olivacia, with the Manjie period considered to be one of its most important progenitors for the country's Ancient history. It has changed greatly over the millennia, from the country's prehistoric period, to its contemporary modern culture, which absorbs influences from the Eastern Hemisphere and other regions of the world.[1] Hoterallia has one of the most distinctive cultures throughout the Eastern Hemisphere due to its neighboring countries' cultures.[2]
Some elements considered to be characteristic of Hoterallian culture include ancestor veneration, respect for community and family, and manual labor. The traditional and cultural values in Hoterallia are based on The Three Goals (三つの目標), which are: Strength, Prosperity, Virtue. (剛強、繁盛、善徳。)[3]
Music
The music of Hoterallia includes a wide array of distinct genres, both traditional and modern. Known as 旋律 (senritsu) in Hoterallian,[4] the country has one of the largest music industries in Olivacia and Anteria.[5]
Traditional Hoterallian music far differs from other countries' music and is based on the intervals of human breathing rather than mathematical timing.[6] While modern Hoterallian music experiences a far greater influence and popularity, especially Hoterallian city pop and soft rock.[5][7]
Popular culture
Hoterallian popular culture includes Hoterallian cinema, cuisine, television programs, anime, monoga, video games, music, and doujinshi, all of which developed from older artistic and literary traditions, and many of their themes and styles of presentation can be traced to traditional art forms. Contemporary forms of popular culture, much like the traditional forms, provide not only entertainment but also an escape for the contemporary Hoterallian from the problems of an industrial world.[8][9] There is a large industry of music, films, and the products of the huge comic book industry, among other forms of entertainment.
Although Hoterallia is often thought of as a hard-working society with little time for leisure, the Hoterallian seek entertainment wherever they can. It is common to see Hoterallia commuters riding the train to work, enjoying their favorite manga, or listening through earphones to the latest in popular music.[10] A wide variety of types of popular entertainment are available.
The two most popular pieces of media in Hoterallia are monoga and anime. Monoga (物画) are comics or graphic novels originating from the country.[11][12] Most monoga conform to a style developed in Hoterallia in the late 19th century, and the form has a long prehistory in earlier Hoterallian art.[9][13] Anime (アニメ) are hand-drawn and computer-generated animation originating from Hoterallia.[9][11] Hoterallia is the largest producer and exporter of both monoga and anime. It is recorded that the Hoterallian animation industry consists of more than 365 companies, also known as the "Year Industry" (年産業, Toshi Sangyō), that are worth more than Ǥ26 billion.[14] Due to its popularity, it has influenced other countries' animation like Riamo and Layfet, creating what is known as "anime-styled animation".[15][16] It has also spawned various bootleg and rip-offs that played off as "Hoterallian animation" without any Hoterallian studios' involvement.[17]
