Royal Society Culture on the Wumpa Archipelago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_of_Changes

The royal society has developed a unique culture in the spaces in and around its research bases on the Wumpa Archipelago. Culture on the islands have no national ties, and are visibly apparent in places such as the square in Fort Brabham. Culture on the islands are strongly tied to the islands, and bonds are strong across society members. Music is often played during recreational nights, and public spaces are heavily decorated. The island also has its own currency, the Royal Co-Penni.

Culture on the archipelago has been accused as 'fascist' and exclusive. Critics have accused the Royal Society of creating an "oppressive" culture through well intentioned means, such as their strict regulations used to protect the archipelago.

Culture
Much of the culture is taken from English roots, and has been viewed as a renewal of the British empire. The Wumpian Initiative has brought back baronetage, and has afforded certain delegates of land to accomplished members and council members. More Mediterranean concepts are also incorporated into the culture, including cuisine and community. Manners are considered crucial, and members often identify each other by rank. The island has even created its own slang, with phrases such as "this one's got blue cheeks" which references the state of one being anxious.

Cuisine is mostly English in origin, and includes meals such as stir-fried white rice with beef and guava. Served with ricotta and mushrooms and swiss chard soup.

The island does not have its own flag, and usually only flies banners for local constituencies present on the island. Foreigners are largely distrusted, which supports the atmosphere of animosity demonstrated towards outsiders. This animosity is amplified by factors such as members being required to renounce their citizenship. The Wumpians are also rightfully detested, and their savagery is clearly noted and avoided.

Retribution Against Wumpian Foe

In 2005, a Wumpian was found to be intermingling with initiative members and was being held illegally at a baron's estate in northeastern N.Sanity Island. Sympathizers for the Wumpian put up banners in Brabham Square, which were later discovered to have been funded by Edomites on the Wumpian Council. A brawl broke out between two groups, and the Wumpian was rightfully executed by the state. The event was the initiative's first major execution.
