This page serves to document the community-created culture for a fictional Toaq country (Toaqgua).

Geography

Toaqgua ("Toaqland") is located somewhere within Southeast Asia.

Lanao is the biggest city and business capital, located at the mouth of the Chuaılo River. The second-largest is Saqmeı ("Three Mountains"). Kuaoce ("Cyanport") is the administrative capital but it's much smaller.

Rituals and Traditions

Every [sometime in April], the people of Toaqgua light paper lanterns [to celebrate what?].

Mythology

The ancient people of Toaqgua believed in Jemu, Toaq's whale-moth hybrid legendary creature and mascot, who brings good luck and provides strength to those who need it.

Food

 
A platter of cıereıtaq.

Cıereıtaq (literally "fish roll") is a dish made of tilapia, carrots, and cabbage wrapped in a light rice paper, served with a sweet durian-based sauce.

 
A portion of saıram.

Saıram is a stew comprising “braised beef, carrots, chillies, cilantro, wine”. Its name may derive from seaı "alcohol" or saı "stuff" (ingredients) or caı "strong", and the frequentative prefix ram- as in rạmloeq "to simmer".
