Qanin Federation

The Qanin Federation is a nation formed by the love of rice and Qaninism. The nation is a Federation of people from various nationalities. The nation formed from various rice fraternities and elite rice clubs across Rathnir with rice connoisseurs and rice masters. The nation's government consists of a council who are mostly the former rice masters in important rice clubs. The land itself was founded for the "Qanin dream" which is said that a land shall be a place for making Qanin rice and shall be a sanctuary for rice and rice lovers.Qaninism- Qaninism is the social and political ideology/belief that rice makers need a land to of rice, a sanctuary for rice and a place for the people of Qanin to frolic in. Qaninism originally was the term used for the common association of the rice clubs across Rathnir. But eventually due to the clubs being elite and having important people in Rathnir, Qaninism became more as a doctrine for the nationality of  "Qanin '' and was strengthened by Qanin Nationalists and the founders of the now Federation that seeked a nation for the Qanin that shall be a paradise and a sanctuary for the people and for rice. Old Qaninism had 2 main goals: 1, Seek a land for the rice to make a sanctuary of rice and a place to make their special premium rice, 2 master and perfect rice making to the grain

Society and Culture
Qanin before forming as a country had many rice clubs and each had "Rice Masters" with "Rice Apprentices". Rice Masters who are experts of their craft are the most influential people in Qanin and Rice Masters from the most notable rice clubs make up most of the people on the Council. In the rice clubs, one of their main focuses is mastering rice making, the Rice masters soon discovered a way to perfect rice and is why the citizens' jobs are making premium Qanin Rice, teaching how to make Qanin rice and to protect the secret of how it is made. There are also ranks that are based on skill and experience on making Qanin Rice stemming from the culture from the past rice clubs.

Espionage from within and secrecy in Qanin culture
Even from the very start of the rice clubs and fraternities there were those who broke their oaths and tried to reveal the Qanin recipe to others which cost them their lives, hence many hitmen and spies are present in Qanin to keep the recipe secret and safe. After some years various “dynasties” formed based on the new variations they made on making Qanin rice. Henceforth espionage and various killings happen inside of Qanin trying to beat other dynasties and trying to steal their knowledge and skill. Because of this many secrets are formed and kept and new variations of the original recipe are made, and is why even more spy cooperatives also form inside of the nation to keep their dynasties recipe’s safe and kill those who use their tongue to spread it foolishly, further strengthening the nature of secrecy and confidentiality in Qanin’s culture.

Rice Cabal Period
Most of Early Qanin society was run by cabals dedicated to rice-making. Many important people like diplomats became part of these organizations.

Old Qaninism Period
Qaninism and the idea of it is established as a common goal and association of the rice clubs, which is to find methods to perfect rice and to find land for the Qanin Dream. Each club shares their gained knowledge from experimentation and collective knowledge. Eventually the clubs from years of mastery of craft and practice discovered how to make premium perfected rice. Because of this the clubs and fraternities switch focus to passing down their knowledge and keeping this knowledge safe in secret and still finding a place for the sanctuary of rice. A hierarchy of sorts starts to form with Rice Masters who are the most experienced in Qanin Rice making who pass down the craft of making Qanin Rice to Rice Apprentices. New Qaninism and Nationalism Period

New Qaninism and Nationalism Period
With one of the goals of Old Qaninism being accomplished, the members of the rice clubs who were diplomats and experienced mediators tried to accomplish the other goal of finding the land to establish the state/nation for a sanctuary of rice and for Qaninism. These diplomats eventually completed their mission and managed to get hold of land for this sanctuary to be made, it coincidentally was the area where the Tatonia-Vraelea Rice Club was located. With preparation of moving and establishing the nation, Qaninism soon evolved into a doctrine as a nationality who were led by Antonio Sinida and Numis McSpiegel that states that the people of Qanin are a race whose goal and purpose is to inherit the years of tradition of making Qanin Rice, protecting the recipe, and protecting the sanctuary of rice that is now Qanin-Xhing. This New Qaninism was adapted to the Qanin Federation with slight modifications made by the newly formed council because some members preferred to stay with their origin countries.

Dynasty period
With the nation being formed and “the recipe” still being passed down, many experimented with the original recipe and started making variations of rice, thus “dynasties” started to form based on it’s specialty and their particular variation of Qanin Rice. Because of this more espionage and disappearances happen within the nation.
