-As the capital of the the [[faction:iromakuanhe_astral_commonwealth]] and the origin of [[iromakuanhe:people]] culture, Maekardan is most representative of the whole of the Commonwealth, and her urban citizens are perhaps most indicative of the living paradox of the planet. It is a place of tradition, faith and bureaucracy, but this traditionalist nature clashes with the progressive and radical ideologies of young people, culture being changed by the emergence of new advanced technologies and the resurgent wealth of the nation. Maekardan is world of both natural and artificial beauty, combining the mysterious and beautiful expanse with heavily terraformed and urbanized regions, culminating in the orbital elevator that has become symbolic of the planet.+As the capital of the the [[faction:iromakuanhe:iromakuanhe_astral_commonwealth]] and the origin of [[species:iromakuanhe]] culture, Maekardan is most representative of the whole of the Commonwealth, and her urban citizens are perhaps most indicative of the living paradox of the planet.

-Because of the 'mosaic'-style aggregation of ethnic groups in Maekardanii cities, the city-dwelling folk of the capital world show a degree of openness to new ideas and tolerance to variety and minorities that is especially, contrasting with the more isolationist bent of the [[iromakuanhe:mazerinii]]. Maekardanii are multi-cultural to the point of being xenophilic and prone to characterizations as overly trendy yuppies who draw from all cultural sources, but continuously refer to them as belonging to other cultures, thereby maintaining themselves separate from 'backwards' traditionalism. This could be best demonstrated by the integration of [[iromakuanhe:sund_wakir]] hookah lounges, [[curdatl]] pubs and [[ivuori]] opera into most Maekardanii communities, but the maintenance of those individuals who operate 'authentically exotic' or luxurious services as not being of the same social group.+Because of the 'mosaic'-style aggregation of ethnic groups in Maekardanii cities, the city-dwelling folk of the capital world show a degree of openness to new ideas and tolerance to variety and minorities that is especially, contrasting with the more isolationist bent of the [[mazerinii]].

-This action is not mean-spirited, as their xenophilic culture would still welcome them into their communities, but this emphasis on the mosaicism of [[iromakuanhe:people]] culture. The pan-[[cohronl]] movements, which started in the orbital elevator colonies of [[planet:maekardan]] differs in this multi-ethnic approach, favoring instead the 'melting pot', eschewing the distinction of cultures and ethnic groups and combining all attributes and adopting them personally.+This action is not mean-spirited, as their xenophilic culture would still welcome them into their communities, but this emphasis on the mosaicism of [[species:iromakuanhe]] culture.

 The Maekardanii have inherited the strong exploratory leanings and leisure-seeking from the [[eyr ranr]], but whereas the desires of the Ranr are simplistic and intense, the influences of [[ivuori]] culture has given a more refined and subtle palette, and tastes that are much more about experiencing a little bit of everything life has to offer than pushing any one kind of experience to the limits. Although considered tasteless yuppies, they are polite, indecisive and prone to go along with the flow rather than make their own decisions by default, and as such, rarely refuse the things offered to them. It is often said that Maekardanii dinner parties are contests polite refusal and even more polite insisting. The Maekardanii have inherited the strong exploratory leanings and leisure-seeking from the [[eyr ranr]], but whereas the desires of the Ranr are simplistic and intense, the influences of [[ivuori]] culture has given a more refined and subtle palette, and tastes that are much more about experiencing a little bit of everything life has to offer than pushing any one kind of experience to the limits.

-Despite this, they are also consummate intellectuals and political commentators, although their knowledge and wealth, and their tendency to do so little with it is often commented upon by the impassioned [[iromakuanhe:sund_wakir]] and more radical [[cohronl]].+Despite this, they are also consummate intellectuals and political commentators, although their knowledge and wealth, and their tendency to do so little with it is often commented upon by the impassioned [[Sund Wakir]] and more radical [[cohronl]].
