====Climate change====
Climate change has caused an uptick in immigration from tropical areas, especially from low-lying areas in Northern Txapoalli (some areas of Naquiz and Shalia) and Southern Dodellia.


==Politics and government==
Much like the Great Calamities at the end of Talman antiquity, the climate crisis has also caused many to question their values and encouraged them to engage with the "spiritual" part of their minds. Most people just became more religiously fervent in their current religion. But there also arose new spiritualities, mostly centered around getting people to reduce their environmental impact, help others most affected by climate-related disasters, and promoting activism.
Like Germany, Fyxoom is a federal parliamentary republic.


Until recently Fyxoom had used a FPTP voting system. After a major movement to reform this voting system, it switched to [[w:ranked choice voting|ranked choice voting]].
Some of the new spiritualities that arose are:


There is a split between a conservative faction (Republican Democrats and Liberty), and a newly ascendant futurist-socialist-environmentalist coalition (Laborers', Green, and Sentience First). Old guard politicians, such as the Republican Democrats (for example former President Hølgi Mercáz-Smool), are widely disliked.

The Republican Democrats held a referendum that would give states and individual communities much more autonomy and power. The Fyxoomian electorate voted in favor of ''Rohyxoom'' (rohys 'cut up' + Fyxoom), as the "Lumpers" called it. Rohyxoom would effectively allow individual states and communities to make their own rules regarding almost anything, and greatly weaken enforcement of federal laws and the public school system.

Fyxoom (English: fə-SHOME; Eevo: /fəˈʃɔʊm/), officially the Fyxoom Federation (Eevo: að Eegoþlu Fyxoom /əð ɛɪˈgɔθʟy fəˈʃɔʊm/), is the largest Eevophone country on the planet Tricin. It is mainly inspired by the United States.

Its current prime minister is Arcol Riþcmo of the All Sentience Party, who is trained as a psychologist.

Ideas

Fyxoom allows the formation of local communities with local laws to an extent, which people can exit freely. There is a public education system so that parents can't indoctrinate their children within the communities.

Regional stereotypes:

  • Western Fyxoom: cultural rebels
  • Cnollta: rural and backward
  • Eastern Fyxoom: old elites
  • Sirahda area: neurotic
  • Lleeband: exuberant Silicon Valley culture

Literature

The Fyxoomian literary tradition did not always develop in a single stream; often it had multiple competing traditions.

Romanticism

Neoclassicism

These Fyxoomian writers looked back on the cultural heritage of their Talman forebears, drawing upon and recombining and newly creating myths. Neoclassicism was mainly popular among the elites of society.

Fyxoomian Llyméer Saiñ codified the Eetøøm accent of Scellan during this period, which serves a similar role to the Bühnendeutsch pronunciation standard in German.

Popular Modernism

Postmodernism

"Postmodernist" (not quite the same as Earth postmodernism) literature took a bitter, sarcastic, ironic turn, following culture at large. Postmodernism reflects the aftermath of the Great Recession of 943dd (1347), a dark period in Fyxoomian history.

New Optimism

This movement started in Lleebrand by ___ but has since been somewhat adapted for more mainstream tastes.

Pop culture

  • ???: a moderately well-known sci-fi series about a sentient race with a biological caste system that determines one's occupation. This series is more popular in Sowaárp'í, where it is interpreted as a commentary on the Sowaár class system. There is also an opera adaptation by Segin Þwhgad.

Society

Early issues

Immigration

As Fyxoom experienced waves of more diverse immigrants, immigration became a heated issue. Some favored open borders, but some favored "vetting" and a loud minority was explicitly xenophobic.

Some representative writers during this period:

Industrialization

Modern issues

Climate change

Climate change has caused an uptick in immigration from tropical areas, especially from low-lying areas in Northern Txapoalli (some areas of Naquiz and Shalia) and Southern Dodellia.

Much like the Great Calamities at the end of Talman antiquity, the climate crisis has also caused many to question their values and encouraged them to engage with the "spiritual" part of their minds. Most people just became more religiously fervent in their current religion. But there also arose new spiritualities, mostly centered around getting people to reduce their environmental impact, help others most affected by climate-related disasters, and promoting activism.

Some of the new spiritualities that arose are:

  • Effective Spirituality, a "meta-spirituality" inspired by effective altruist principles that aims to use spirituality to help the follower lead an "action-oriented life": to do the most utilitarian good possible
  • Some Yunyalīlta-semblant religion that teaches that disharmony with nature and living beyond one's means are sins; "sin is real and we must act as if sin is real"

Automation

Emerging technology

Animal rights

Politics and government

Unicameral parliament and president chosen by sortition
