History
Ancient Beehand
Ancient Beehand was ruled by Wiobic- and Hlou-Ku-speaking tribal societies. The Hlou-Ku speakers were the first to form centralized states, followed by the Wiobians and the Tsjoen.
The arrival of the Rhythoed
The influx of the Rhythoed who were fleeing persecution during the Imperial Windermere Period was at first slow. But it eventually caused an upheaval in Beehandese society and politics.
This happened due to several factors:
- Rhythoed science and technology were more advanced in some important ways – for example, the Rhythoed knew, unlike native Beehandeses, that germs were responsible for infectious diseases.
- The Rhythoed were the first to introduce farming of the contraceptive plant silphium to Beehand, though silphium had already been introduced to Beehand by trade.
- Some political calamities gripped the native Beehandese states. (?)
Modern Beehand
Countries
Beehand has two countries: the large USB, officially Implüeng Pa'ăncem Beehand (United States of Beehand) and the slightly smaller Tumhan, officially Bintălisral Beehand (Republic of Beehand) to the east.

Calendar
There are two very common calendars in use: the Talman solar calendar and the Hlou lunisolar calendar. Somewhat less common is the Wiobian solar calendar (which is much more accurate than the Talman one; it's aligned with the spring equinox).
Religion
- Some weird religion for the Wiobians and Tumhanians
- Hlou-Shum paganism/polytheism
- A version of PIE paganism
- Oon is a Shumian god
- Rhythoed and Talman religions and parodies thereof
- The "Second Stopper"
People making up their own religions is commonplace
Cuisine
Historically, vegetarianism was more popular in Beehand among people who followed the Rhythoed culture (about 10% of them were vegetarian). The Hlou-Shum people traditionally consumed meat and milk, but beef and pork were avoided. Fish was extremely common. Also common is tempeh (Hlou: Te Mpeh 'bean cake'), which was brought to Beehand by the Rhythoed.
Notable figures
Note: Wiobian and Tsjoen names were originally surname-first. However, due to Rhythoed influence later names are surname-last.

- Sjameu Panzux - linguist
