The Arixpat.org forum. The pinecone is sometimes seen as a symbol of Ariddia. The woman on the left is Wa We, a famous Ariddian explorer who travelled to the far reaches of the Earth. The flag is that of the PDSRA. The image of a forum (top right) hints at Ariddian pride in their high level of education.

Arixpat.org is a website specifically designed to enable expatriate Ariddians to stay in touch with the rest of the "diaspora".

Set up by Ariddian-born Pacitalian medical student Jérémie Ash (arixpat.rp redirects to arixpat.org), it includes a few items of Ariddia-related news, and links to other websites about Ariddians in the PDSRA, Pacitalia and abroad. This includes links to the websites of Ariddian embassies, Ariddian cultural centres abroad, restaurants, theatres and so on operated by expatriate Ariddians... The website is best known, however, for its forum, which attracts high numbers of expatriate Ariddians from around the world, as well as Ariddians living in Ariddia itself.

A wide variety of topics are discussed on the forum, from posters' experiences living abroad, to politics, to discussions about Ariddian culture and identity.

The forum has also helped posters organise meet-ups, in cities such as Timiocato and Neorvins.

The website is mostly in French, as are a majority of forum posts, although English, Wymgani and a variety of other languages are also used. Some users have stated that, since Wymgani is a uniquely Ariddian language, it is an ideal medium for Ariddians to express a unique cultural identity. The French language also serves this purpose in predominently anglophone countries.
