The vastness of the country, our long and at one point even rocky history and headstrong people have made for a culture so diverse and unique, that you can only truly understand it by seeing it, feeling it and living in it.
As for our religion, Czechovalia has always been a monotheistic country. Since the Czechovalian Revolution, the meaning of divinity shifted towards a feminine deity. This deity was presented to the Czechovalian people as Godalia by our priestesses. Our priestesses are chosen by Godalia herself, but are not superior to the people or the government. It is a humbling honor to be a priestess of Godalia and to leed the Czechovalian people through a righteous life. Godalia stands for fertility, resilience and strength. If you have lived a life devoted to the communist regime and your family, without selfishness and crime, you will live on besides Godalia in the afterlife. However, if you have failed to abide to the laws of government and Godalia, you will forever wander infertile, dead lands alone in the afterlife.
Beside it being tradition to honor the Supreme Leader with our national sign, women who have recently given birth are also greeted with the national sign. This is an honorable sign of respect. If the sign is not made when being aware of the new mothers status, it is taken as a great insult towards both the woman and child, but to the political regime and to Godalia as well. Another important tradition is to bless newlywed couples by painting the national sign on their front door. This originates from the belief that Godalia is thus made aware that she is welcome in the household, heart and life of the couple and may bless them with children. A third, and very important tradition, is that men may never enter or leave a room before either his work superiors, his wife or his female relatives have. In case he alone needs to leave a room, he must receive permission. Usually this simply consists of making eye contact and indicating the willingness to leave.
​
In case you have completed the registration process of traveling to Czechovalia, these are important things to know. Czechovalian people expect tourists to be aware of these traditions and to uphold them. It is a sign of great disrespect if you do not honor these traditions. It can even mean being forced to leave the country early and not be allowed to come back, if you are a man.
One example of this is how our national sport has become the female martial arts. Femininity is equal to strength, endurance, resilience and comradery in Czechovalia. These values can be found in the martial arts. Our athletes are highly valued and idolized for possessing these characteristics. Along with fertility, they represent the ideal Czechovalian woman. The top national sport is wrestling, followed by boxing, judo and karate. Czechovalian athletes and approved international competitors go head to head in the Annual Martial Arts Championship in May. The entire month of May is dedicated to the championship. The entire country comes together to watch and cheer on their favorites. For more information on the Annual Martial Arts Championship and travelling to Czechovalia to watch this exclusive event, visit the Czechovalian Martial Arts Organisation.
Our national monument is heavily influenced by our religion and government. It stands tall and strong in the centre of Bardan. The monument consists of a strong, young woman with her right hand laying protectively on her lower belly and her left hand raised triumphantly in the air. Six children look up at her with love and admiration clear in their expressions.
​
The national sign to honor the Supreme Leader is derived from the national monument. Women place both hands on the lower belly with the index fingers pointing downwards, connecting both thumbs at the top and the other fingers at the bottom, thus creating a triangle. This is a welcoming, yet protective gesture towards the womb. The national sign shows the devotion of the people for the Supreme Leader and her regime. Men simply clasp both hands and place them in front of their lower belly. This is to show their devotion to the Supreme Leader and acceptance of their inferior position to women.
​
These signs are made when the national anthem is played. Click here to listen. The national anthem consists of a strong, consistent beat made by the drum. The lyrics praise the current communist regime and the superiority of Czechovalian women.
​
Our national symbol consists of six young women, holding hands in harmonie, looking towards the future. This represents the values of Czechovalia and the ideal six children in every family. The national symbol can be seen on our national flag.
​
Our national colors are blue and green. Blue represents unity, peace and harmony while green stands for fertility. These colors can also be found on our national flag.
As for food, Czechovalia is know for its unique recipes. Czechovalian food is regarded as so special because we have vegetables and fruits exclusive to our country as a consequence of us having completely banned international trade. Our recipes are well kept national secrets. A censorship has been placed on all Czechovalian media, prohibiting international online relations as well.
​
Many people believe that Czechovalia has banned all forms of entertainment along with international trade. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Czechovalian government deemed the Western entertainment adverse for the achievements made after the Czechovalian Revolution. Realizing that entertainment is a human right, they created their own media industry befitting the national values and political regime. Czechovalia has an array of magazines, news papers, radio and television channels and even two movie producing organisations. The printing press have even joined forces in creating a social sharing platform, similar to Instagram.

We have found that western ignorance and prejudice have led to the misinformed image of Czechovalia as a restricting, no nonsense country it is perceived as today. Our people would tell you otherwise. Our political, economical and cultural regimes are based on scientific research of how to best insure the wellbeing and wellfare of a population. Add to that that our country is female-run, thus ensuring that the western male tendency to act on macho behavior is elimated, and you have a stable country with a happy people.
