The Korobushka is a tribe of Bipedal Shwirm played by FortuneHost in the Primordial Evolution Game. They live on the Southern continent, high in the mountains around a large freshwater lake. FortuneHost has said that he based their culture on Russian history, mixed in with a few other cultures.
The Korobushka are basically a bit like lemmings, or kobolds (take your pick). They try hard, they really do, but frankly their primary function is failure, and they never get it quite right. They want to be Marxists, really, but these little guys are pretty much the worst Communists ever. They are much better at being greedy Capitalists pigs & backstabbing magnificent bastards.
The Korobushka are organized into clans; vast, extended families each with their own subculture and traditions. While they share a nation, religion, and history, rivalry between the clans is fierce, akin to the rivalry between sports teams: rarely violent, but often heated.
Religion plays a large part of Bushkit (adj. form of Korobushka) life, as theirs is a society ruled by a semi-theocracy. Each town is organized into a dozen or so districts, each of which is overseen by a priest. The high priest of the entire race is called the "Voice of the Mountain". The Voice co-rules with a Council of Elders, a secular body composed of the matriarchs and/or patriarchs of the clans (one for each clan). While the Voice is a powerful authority, and in theory, the absolute authority, in practice the Council makes all the major decisions. In spiritual matters, though, the Voice is unquestioned.
