The nation of Seoshackadak (Located under Antarctica) is unique in several ways, the largest being that it is built completely underground. Another interesting fact is that lemmings are seen as equal to humans, and they even have their own language. The architecture is often noted as stunning by tourists. Mostly made out of mudbrick and built into walls and arches, the plazas which make up the cityscape are a marvel to see. Vegetation such as vines often hang off of balconies. Except for a few exceptions, there are no doors which give a strange, warm feeling.


CULTURE

Nobody in Seoshackadak is rich, and nobody is poor. The population all live in similar homes, generally built above a plaza where the immediate community eats, meets, and bathes.

Clothing is simple and because of farming restrictions underground and the staggering humidity and heat, made completely out of silk. Because of the difficulty in the manufacture of silk, the citizens are often encouraged to wear nothing in their homes, reducing the wear on their clothing.

Food is served in a communal dinning hall, where typically three or four families gather to eat. Meals are typically the center of the community. If the meal happens to be dinner, afterward the people will move to the plaza and balconies. When everyone has had enough talking, they head for the sauna and then retire to their residences.


RELIGION

There are three religions in Seoshackadak:

Neogaianism is by far the largest religion. One hundred and seventy-eight (178) people were recorded as belonging to this faith.

Buddhism, the second largest, contains thirty-four (44) members.

Islam is the smallest religion in Seoshackadak, containing twelve (23) members.

There is also one Lutheran and two Hindus.

The numbers of the members of the previous religions are based upon census data, and are estimates.
