Culture: Maybe the greatest tradition is market and marketing. All people visit markets every day. There are even some markets on meadows too, if some people want to buy things while travelling. The people don't like huge and technologically advanced cities. They want to live in little towns (you can think about medieval villages, towns). Their most important celebration is The Great Market Day. On that day, all people spend their day in markets. They don't always buy stuff, but the market is a great place, where they can meet other people and just talk with them. On The Great Market Day, all houses are empty. Even old people and very young people are outdoors, selling or buying stuff or just enjoying good weather. The Great Market Day is on the 65th day of summer, so it is a really beautiful day.
Besides The Great Market Day, there is Young Education Day. On that day, people can go to school and choose the path they are going to study. These paths are education, marketing, medicine, technology and agriculture. The school time lasts for only one year and after completing exams in their chosen path, they can get a job. It is not needed to go to the school, but it makes the chances to get a job somewhere bigger. If a person fails the exams, he can try again, but doesn't have to. The school is just optional thing there, but it makes life better and easier. If a person has already passed the exams, he can still come back next year to learn more. A person can spend their whole life in school, if he wants. Every passed exam gives a new certification, that the person has a lot of knowledge of the path. The Young Education Day is on the 2nd day of the rainy season.
The Weekend of the Moon is a weekend, when all people spend their whole nights on meadows. On these three days, sun doesn't rise. There is always dark and the moons are seen. It is believed, that in millions of years ago, two suns called Lunarity and Solarity crossed their paths, but never wanted to go their own way again. They started to to orbit around each other and together, they formed a new solar system. The gravitational pull became so powerful, that some planets from the nearby systems moved towards these two suns. Then, when they were close enough, they stopped and one planet called Lunar Meadow, stopped on the right place to become habitable. The people believe, that Lunarity is good and Solarity is bad and The Weekend of the Moon means, that Lunarity destroyed Solarity, but then, after the weekend, Lunarity sets and Solarity rises again and lets Lunarity only rise again after a year. Scientifically it is unknown, why Solarity never sets except on the Weekend of the Moon and why it disappears for a weekend. The Weekend of the Moon is on the 4th weekend of the summer season.
Saint Mario Day is a day, when people give each other gifts and families gather and have a silent, happy night together. On that day, it snows on the planet, so kids make snowmans, have snowfights and do other happy things. People eat different kinds of meat and everybody is happy. The day is similar to our Christmas time, but is gathered into one day. Saint Mario Day is on the 68th day of the rainy season.
Technology: The technology on the planet is self-sufficient for their needs. However, the people dislike incorporating new technologies for outside their world into their society.
History: About a hundred years ago, some humans wanted to find a safe place from the deadly Gulag Virus and so they started to travel around the galaxy. They found a little planet, what was covered with meadows. Actually, there were only meadows. They found a perfect place to settle down and so a small village was made. At that point, there were only 11 people on the planet, but they invited other people (friends, family) to the planet too. At first, they declined, but when the Gulag Virus became very strong, they quickly travelled to the planet. The people on the planet had a little meeting and together, they managed to choose a name for the planet. They found clues, that on the planet, there had been humans before. They had written books and other notes. The people learned about the system and adapted the former people's beliefs. But then, there was a huge conflict and three different sides formed. Every one of them wanted their own rules, but the others didn't want it, so all three sides went their own way, though nobody leaved the planet. Three villages were founded and people lived their happy lives. After the last wave of humans came to the planet, their ships became mad. There was a virus or something, so Lunarians destroyed all technology they had to prevent the spread of the virus. Now they hate every technology and when other people come to the planet, they have to land very far away from the villages.
After the death of Lunare's rulers, their daughter gained respect and trust in every village on the planet. The daughter was given the title of the Royal Princess of Lunare. Shortly after it was done, the two remaining villages decided to do the same and so the girl, Aliannah Sophia del Daniella Filia gained absolute power over the planet and the former democratic planet was quickly changed to absolute monarchic.
A bit after Filia was given the title, she named herself High Queen of the Moon which made the planet a bit more theocratic. The society started seeing technology in a bit better way because of the rest of the galaxy's help at finding more information about the previous inhabitants.

Intent: The intent on creating this planet is to make a very beautiful planet with a lot of meadows and other beautiful places. I've already got a thread with this planet, but it is marked as 'Unknown planet', meaning, that it can be any planet. If the planet doesn't get approved, I'll keep the planet as 'unknown'.
