Culture of Huria

The culture of the Mandinka Federation is notably rich and diverse, but since the reforms of the 1970s, it has become more utilitarian and authoritarian in recent years. The culture that many Africans protect and love has been pushed aside in Mandinka, as it has preferred moving toward militarism. Thus far, Mandinka's culture has become one of the most militarized in human history, with 90% of the population trained and having knowledge of basic military drill.

Attitudes and Customs
Following the Reforms of 1971, Mandinka transitioned from a presidential oligarchy to a true statocracy, in which the military was given the most priority, and all citizens considered part of it. Additionally, all civilian posts ranging from teachers, to traders, to lawyers, were transformed into military occupations. The 41 years of military rule and tradition, have turned the average Mandinka citizen into a homocidal trooper ready for combat. Thus, many rituals and traits of military life were carried on into civilian life. Reliance on one's self is considered an important belief in Mandinka, the courage to rely on one's comrades is considered all-important. A survey in 2008 showed that 97% of all Mandinka knew someone that they could rely on to assist them in times of need, and only 2% stated that they rarely or never socialized with others. This is due greatly in part to the degree comradery fostered within Mandinka as children during their elementary years, when they are taught to help others, as they may one day be fighting alongside them in combat one day.

Mandinka has a high degree of gender equality, as many Mandinka, as is their militaristic view, believe if any woman is capable of fighting and killing to the same degree as a man, she is worthy of their respect and honor. Only in the household and in church do women take a secondary place. As a religious people, the Mandinka believe that women are to be respectful and obediant to the husband as outlined in the Bible. They trust that so long as the wife does as she is commanded in the Bible, and the husband treats her with the respect required, their marriage will be a happy one. Because of this biblical view and the strict following of the guide given, Mandinka have the lowest divorce rates and one of the happiest marriages in the world. As for religion, women do not take places of leadership at church, and understand that only men can lead a congregation during sermons. Only when there are no suitable men present to do so are women allowed to take such a position. Women are treated properly in Mandinka, and so long as they continue to regard their position as stated in the Bible, they will go on to recieve the honor they have earned.

The Mandinka's view toward the LGBT community is outright hostile. Gays, lesbians, and transsexuals are dragged into the streets and beatento death, while the military government does nothing. Such actions have been condoned, and to a certain degree, even legalized. Following the 1983 extermination of the homosexual population in Mandinka, Mandinka was declared the most homophobic nation in human history, having wiped out 1.2 million homosexuals over the course of 20 years. During the invasion of Brazil in 2008, some 75,000 gays were killed, and following the invasion, another 20,000 were murdered. Currently, a massive anti-gay riot in Brazil has consumed the country, as the highly religious population has been hunting down an murdering homosexuals in their homes. Gay marriage has been outlawed, and gays have no protections in Mandinka, or any of its associated territories or states. Human rights groups have declared Mandinka a land lethal to homosexuals, and have called for U.N. sanctions against the country for its policy of wiping out gays whereever they spread.
