Etymology

Guai (oudated Ingerish spelling Gwigh) derives from pre-Taukan root Guo (/gwo/), possibly meaning "fertile plain", and -ai suffix denoting a region or a country, hence, "Land/Region of the fertile plain". Historically speaking, Guai was only the central plain located mostly astride Urán and Astel Cantons. Guai has no official name. Consequently, it is referred just as Guai for all official purposes.

Demographics

Languages

The de facto official language of Guai is Guaiian (Guaiian: Guaii or Bahma Guai).

Health

Guai has got a universal healthcare system since the 1926 Health Law that grouped several healthcare provisions that had existed since the 1870s.

Culture

Guai is usually viewed as a very socially progressive society. Married women can vote since 1912 whereas unmarried female proprietaries could vote since the 1840s. Traditionally, few legal restrictions applied to women but those have been repelled, step-by-step, in the course of the 20th century. Same-sex sexual activity has never been criminalised and LGBT rights are quite extensive: same-sex couples have been legally able to marry and adopt since 1998. Registered Partnership Law of 1988 apply to both heterosexual and homosexual couples. Vai houses a vibrant LGBT community whereas its northern neighbourhood Djima is famous for its annual Pride Parade in early December. Social equality is quite central in Guaiian culture. The country has always been a republic or a set of semi-independent republics and privileges and rights of the upper bourgeoisie vanished in the mid and late 18th century.

Religion

Until at least the first half of the 20th century, dominant belief in Guai was called Ohoism, an amalgamation of religio-philosophical traditions that has a significant impact on shaping Guaiian culture. Since then it has steadily declined and today Guai has one of the least religious populations in the world.
