Retribing

Stanis are aware of the palpable lack of traditional values and living apparent in contemporary life. As such, they actively engage in a "retribing" or seeking to re-enter traditional roles and folkways, sometimes via monolithic or diverse appropriation and sometimes via "neotribing". When appropriating, Stanis are expected to observe two principles:

1) "Do no harm." --It is never appropriate to mock, only to celebrate what is appreciated and leave the rest.

2) "When possible, ask." --It is always advised to ask living members of a given people group for a blessing to appropriate, when possible.

Appropriation examples include rollerdisco powows with neon paint drums and trampolines.

The Hootie hails from the Sarakatsani people who are the inspiration for the Starakatsani neotribe in most ways similar to the former except for travel with velomobiles equipped with telescopes and astronomical origin stories about the sheep in the sky and the milk bowl spun to make the stars. Another pastoralist neotribe is the Roamins. The following excerpt from An Island Apart by Sarah Wheeler is inspirational for many of the tribes and neotribes in Stan:

“

I was fascinated by this elusive, aloof transhumant tribe with beguilingly mysterious origin. They fanned out all over the Balkans and have most closely associated with the Pindus and the Rodopi mountains in the northern mainland: in the fifties there were about 80,000 of them. They spent half of the year in their mountain pastures and the other half in their lowlands. Their rootlessness was balanced by an elaborate ritualization of almost every aspect of their lives, from costume to the moral code. Evia was the only island used by the Sarakatsani except Poros which was the furthest south they ever got (and perhaps Aegina too). In Evia they were, until this century, only found in the chunk of the island from the Chalcis-Kymi axis northwards about as far an Ayianna, and the cluster of villages around Skiloyanni constituted the most heavily settled Sarakatsani region on the island. There were 50 Sarakatsani families living on Mount Kandili, working as resin gatherers encased in layers of elaborate costume. Photographs taken only few decades ago of Sarakatsani women in traditional costume sitting outside their wigwam-shaped branch woven huts. Many of them had quite an un-Greek looks, and were fair; perhaps that explains the blond heads you see now. The Sarkatsanoi were known by various names by the indigenous population, usually based on where they were perceived to have come from, and in Evia they were generally called Roumi, Romi or Roumeliotes after the Roumeli region. People often spoke of them misleadingly as Vlachs. They are settled now, mainly as farmers, with their own permanent pasture land. Their story is one of total assimilation.

People Groups

While some demonyms in Stan are capitalized, some are not.

The proïe are the mysterious ancient founding people of Stan, from whom the Trigoni are directly descended. They speak Proto-Indo-European and "have forgotten nothing from the ancient past save for true religion and that just barely." Every proie is born in the morning. The Trigoni are the second oldest people group but are reckoned the oldest due to the obscurity of the proie. They cover themselves entirely in tessellating alternating black and white triangles and have a single carrier pigeon for communication with the outside world. The Roamins are neo-pastoralists--herders with no previous family history of herding. The dispossessi (spelled lowercase since they are opposed to acquiring too much capital) are former hoarders who practice non-acquisitiveness. They can be seen selling their wares at flea markets and supporting each other from the temptation to travel to other booths and relapse. The Quasis are a loosely-affiliated group of friends that occasionally convene for reasons of economic interdependence or to have a party. They tend to float between the micronations of Stan otherwise. The Old Patriots (affectionately known as the "Red, White and Blue Necks") are some of the members of Stan most conservatively-committed to the American Dream of the 1950s. Occasionally, other citizens of Stan can be seen trying to gently wake them up. The auriani are thrifters and tinkerers. The ideali are plant puppet people controlled by CoSA. The neoni and pasteli are the resident graffiti artists of Stan, with an ongoing neon vs. pastel turf war. They collaborated, however, on two adjacent Orthodox Christian chapels. The neoni, also called globeli, have a symbiotic relationship with a mythical bee called the light bee, which possesses a firefly gene causing their honey to glow. This honey is the basis of neoni paint and their dietary staple, causing their bellies to glow and them to possess the nickname globeli. Europium paint is used to cosplay the neoni. The Anastasians live by the light of the Resurrection. They have three pascal votives with light from the Holy Fire that they keep at the front of the pack all times and they wander nomadically in and out of Stan. Many languages are spoken in Stan.

Stan has three Triball raves on Main Street. On the Vernal Equinox, PowWow featuring Manito Ahbee singers, United Tribes Technical College dancers and N8tive Hoop. The day before the Summer Solstice, CMY, a cyan, magenta, yellow firetruck paint party on Main Street features Masai Adumu dancing. Beginning on the Autumnal Equinox, Panegyric, one week featuring Sarakatsani music and folklore inspired by the Antamoma at Pertouli. It serves as a homecoming for all of Stan and is accessible to all ages due to the low-impact nature of the dances.
