Lovian Culture Test
Thanks to Kunar for adding some entries in.

If you're Lovian...


 * You are of course not American. You might be closer to America than Hawaii, but you speak with a less American-sounding accent. It's likely you use words like 'naranja' a lot.
 * You know about most sports, like Rugby Union, and soccer (or 'football' to more European-influenced speakers), and even boules, but likely not cricket or basketball.
 * You're fairly likely to believe in God, maybe to support CCPL too (a big party!)
 * You think of take-away of any sort as cheap food, whether it is or not.
 * You probably own a telephone and a TV. Your place is heated in the winter (but the winter doesn't get TOO bad) and has its own bathroom. You do your laundry in a machine. You don't kill your own food. You don't have a dirt floor. You eat at a table, sitting on chairs.
 * You don't consider insects, dogs, cats, monkeys or guinea pigs (the latter you call 'cavies') to be food. However there are an odd bunch of Sylvanians who seem to take pleasure in eating horse...
 * A bathroom may not have a bathtub in it but it certainly has a toilet.
 * Pretty much all public services are privatised, the government mainly focuses on running the country/state.
 * The phones usually work. Getting a new phone is increasingly routine.
 * You can easily start a business, as there are limited regulations or taxes.

Just a tiny island...

 * Cars are often used to get around. However, if you don't own a car, then it's trickier - you are American influenced after all.
 * Trains aren't very good. The Pacific Railroad Company holds a monopoly and they don't go very fast, you're better off taking a plane.
 * You think that the American bipartisan system is a horrible idea, and prefer the idea of a Congress with many parties. Unlike in the USA, Communism is taken (at least mildly) seriously, thanks to CPL.nm.
 * Unless you're a real radical, it's unlikely you're republican (which in Lovia means 'opponent of the monarchy' not 'conservative').
 * Racism isn't common. Everyone, whether black, European, or Asian, is just another Lovian. You know that the current situation is very far from the neo-Nazi/hate speech days of 2010, the civil war of 2011, and the inter-wikinational tension of 2014.
 * You'd respect someone who speaks French, German, or Japanese - but it wouldn't be practical. If you know Oceana or Bredish, then it's unlikely to be practical either - almost everyone speaks English and uses it for their daily life, keeping their traditional tongues to the home...
 * You think a tax level of 30% is scandalously high - even more so than Americans. You're probably surprised that Lovia hasn't become a tax haven for more rich people.
 * Primary education is free from age 6 to 12. Secondary education you're not so sure about. There's only one university in Lovia and that's Blackburn: many people would go to an American university instead.
