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 Skellan 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 Lleeband 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 Sowaár daSóol, 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. Many favored open borders, but some were skeptics and a loud minority was explicitly xenophobic.
Some representative writers during this period:
Industrialization
Modern issues
Politics and government
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 approval voting.
There is a split between a fiscally conservative faction (Liberty Party), a traditional center-left faction (Republican Democrats) and a newly ascendant futurist faction (All Sentience). Old guard politicians, such as the Republican Democrat and former President Hølgi Mercáz-Smool and the Liberty Party, are widely disliked.
Parties
- Republican Democrats (Nwsipaxfáj Nwtylisrál; nSnT)
- Liberty Party (Ajzwñd Hylrygéen; HR)
- All Sentience Party (Ajzwñd Baw Vyllwaru; BV)
- Platform: UBI, rehabilitative justice (reduce or eliminate prison sentences for nonviolent crimes), animal rights, child rights, break up big corporations, stop surveillance, end the wars, universal cryonics
- Labor Party (Ajzwñd Þivwr): labor unions, pro-co-ops
- Green Party (Ajzwñd Bes; AB)
- Guardians of the Traditions: quasi-fascism
Currency
The currency is the xoom, and one cmen is 1/144 xoom.
