Koian Popular Culture

Music

Electronic Music

Electronic music was developed in 1912 in Kesk Koi, Koi. It began as symphonic recordings edited on turntables to sound distorted, until Riivo Kuusik invented the Electrostatic Reed Organ, an instrument capable of changing its sound while playing. In 1941, Konkreetne Muusika was developed, allowing for the more modern sense of Electronic Music.

Cuisine

Drink

Koians tend to drink a lot of sweetened beverages. Most notably, Koians tend to drink Sweet Water, water with sugar mixed in. All vendors in Koi sell one or multiple variations of it. Carbonated Soft Drinks are also very common sights. Plain water and milk are also two common drinks.

Alcohol, while not common, of the Vodka variety is produced and consumed within Koi, though much of it tends to be exported to other countries.

Food

While omnivores, Koian cuisine tends to rely heavily on vegetables and grains more than meats, however most meals tend to contain at least some form of meat within. Vegetarianism is fairly common.

The most commonly prepared food is typically a form of beef with a noodle base and vegetable addition with a sweet sauce and vegetable side. Pure meat dishes are relatively unheard of.

Meats used are commonly beef, pork, and chicken, with other land animals falling in behind and sea food relatively far down due to lack of coastal variety. Fishing in the Kraater Lake is low, with years of overfishing having made strong environmental regulations go into effect. Kraater Lake fish only enter the market once every five years, and usually only in major cities and settlements directly near the water.
