An offshoot of traditionalist that takes the idea of formality one step farther.
Mostly practiced in Bhcu Cuhcil.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

Extremely formal speech using only Ailja, known as Cuhcil Formal.   Cuhcil Formal breaks things up into their component parts for precision over fluidity.
Ex. VIEaru AILu LEN (my name is Len)

Culture and cultural heritage

For Cuhcil Traditionalists family names are used when addressing people, specifically people who are not family or very close friends.
Most of the leading members of the Bhcu Cuhcil Medical Society are Cuhcil Traditionalists. Because of this most licensed doctors are assumed to be as well, though it is mostly untrue.

Shared customary codes and values

  • Formality and respectability is a virtue.
  • Correct posture, slower speech, longer words, and attention to detail are important.

Average technological level

Most advanced medicine on either planet.

Common Etiquette rules

  • Its rude to leave some one standing for over 15 minutes.
    • If you've been sitting as long as some one has been standing, and that's over 15 minutes, you are socially obligated to give up your seat to them.
    • Also the host/business/staff will be greatly embarrassed for not having enough seats for all guests.
    • For similar reasons people do not spend much time in lines, instead there should be a list you add your name to and wait to be called.
  • If some one doesn't understand or hear what you're saying the first time, its customary to say it again, but longer and broken into smaller ideas.
    • It is extremely rude to interrupt some one while they are re-explaining something. The thought behind this is that if you had been listening the first time you wouldn't have needed the second time.
    • If you are interrupted in your second explanation you are socially justified if you refuse to answer questions from the offending person again during the course of the same outing.

Common Dress code

Formal clothing is a must, but nothing overly fluffy, frilly, or gaudy.
  • Keep it simple.
  • A good vest and pants suit will get you farther than an extravagant ensemble.
  • Muted tones are also more acceptable. Especially shades of grey.

Art & Architecture

Though they dress more conservatively than Traditionalists, their artworks and architecture are usually much intricate.
  • Art
  • Architecture
    • Windowed ceilings and observatories are common
    • Domed roofs are common as well
    • They also enjoy incorporating water and plant life into the structural and aesthetic designs of their buildings.

Common Taboos

Anything informal.
  • Informal speech
  • Calling some one by their first name (going so far as to calling cities with two part names only by the last one)
    • And nicknames are right out. They do not tolerate being called by such made up nonsense.
  • Casual clothing.
    • Shirts without buttons or collars
    • Jackets without coat tails
    • Anything untucked
    • Lack of a necktie, ruffle, or bow around the neck
    • Boots that don't come up to the knee

Naming

As in Traditionalist culture, family names are given at birth and usually kept for one's whole life regardless of marital status. Your last name is determined by the parent you resemble the most. If you look like both then your parents decide which to give you, give you both, or create a new one for you.
