| That said, given their love of //honesty// as a virtue, they are a staunchly secular culture with a decent understanding of their own psychological functioning, growing up to be self-reflected and to seek evidence for any claims they wish to make. (That said, their self-reflection does not always yield the right answers, of course. They are //extremely// prone to (very effectively) rationalising their own behaviours, more so than human beings.) | That said, given their love of //honesty// as a virtue, they are a staunchly secular culture with a decent understanding of their own psychological functioning, growing up to be self-reflected and to seek evidence for any claims they wish to make.

| ===== Government ===== | |
| |
| Nayabaru society is governed in an **anarcho-totalitarian** fashion. | |
| |
| They have almost no concept of centralised government, with the exception of the //Karesejat// title for the final arbiter, which is necessarily singular - though matters will so rarely bubble up to that level that it's not a problem. | |
| |
| On the other hand, they are such a strongly social culture that ostracism is a grave threat to any one of them, on average making them eager to please those who they could consider their direct superiors. It is frequent enough that a Nayabaru is pressured by his subjective superiors to 'behave'. This pressure could easily involve physical force (it's an accepted potential component of social interaction), though it's usually not necessary. | |

| Note that deliberately title-free Nayabaru exist, though they have traditionally been considered dangerous individuals, as other Nayabaru are both hesitant to attack individual identity (though they certainly will) and used to that Nayabaru without a title desperately want to regain a title. Acceptance of these strange Nayabaru (who usually simply are so varied in personal skill as that a title would unnecessarily restrict them) has gotten better in recent centuries, but they still tend to be peripheral to Nayabaru society. (That said, ironically, it is usually title-free Nayabaru that are the harshest judge of other title-free Nayabaru - owing to a strong desire to establish themselves as an individual, rather than being lumped into a group with title-free Nayabaru in general, as would otherwise occur.) | Note that deliberately title-free Nayabaru exist, though they have traditionally been considered dangerous individuals, as other Nayabaru are both hesitant to attack individual identity (though they certainly will) and used to that Nayabaru without a title desperately want to regain a title.

| |
| The Nayabaru believe in a fairly generous personal space between strangers (roughly to the degree of '//please remain at the other end of the room until I specifically greet you verbally//'), and none between acquaintances. | |
| |
| The Nayabaru species engage in a customary handshake. | |
