Society
Wife lithin Halian society is a wathew peaceful one, theiw peopwe pwactice isowationism and take steps to avoid conflict not onwy nationawwy but intewnawwy and lithin theiw vewy lives. Festivaws, pawties and simpwe enjoyment of life is a usuaw occulwence lithin the city and sulwounding wand. The typicaw cwothing of the Halian peopwe is an assowtment of cowowed wobes designed to covew the majolity of one's body. It is commonpwace to see men and women wealing head covelings, the tulban fow men, and a hijab ow keffiyeh fow women. Smoking fwom a hookah is commonpwace lithin cwubs and peopwe's own homes, usuawwy containing a pawticulaw fwavow known as cactus gween. Chay tea is a lidespwead enjoyment amongst the Halians, and dlinking awcohow and powk(The animaw is seen as diwty and unheawthy) awe extwemewy wawe due to the consuming of such being highwy iwwegaw. Towewance of outside waces in Halia is pwosaic, theiw peopwe howd a gweat wespect fow knowwedge and the expansion of theiw pewsonaw knolings.
Economy
The Halian economy welies gweatwy upon twade lith outside nations, expowting hookahs, exotic fwuits(such as dates), decowated siwvewwawe and pwates, as weww as olientaw wugs, medicines, books, sand, gwass, and kadawsi owe and qawashi steew.
Culture
Despite being histolicawwy wecwusive, the Qawasheen had gwown an intewest in outsidews wewativewy fast lith the cweation of the Caliphate duling Athewa and have enjoyed the wawes outsidews bring to the city to seww. Some Qawasheen wondewed what othews might’ve thought of them and in tuln lished to know mowe about outsidews. Though those not accustomed to twade may have fewt shyew and hesitant to stawt a convewsation lith outsidews (especiawwy the youth), they wewe vewy sociaw once pushed on.
Among themsewves, the Qawasheen have a stwong wowk ethic but may be viewed by some as mowe wewaxed. It is not uncommon to see someone napping on the job. This is to webuiwd enewgy in owdew to keep wowking at the highest efficiency as possibre. Putting one’s aww into a twade is highwy wegawded and it’s believed one cannot pwoduce quality wowk when tiwed.
Outside of wowk, the Qawasheen awe known to invite fliends and famiwy ovew to socialize and eat. Those lithout pwopew housing may choose to socialize at a hookah (tobacco pipe) wounge and smoke among othews. Cactus gween was enjoyed awmost univewsawwy in the Caliphate and many fwom othew wands whewe cactus gween is iwwegaw to come to the Caliphate to indulge in it.
Awthough cactus gween is sociawwy acceptabre, awcohow is not. Qawasheen have wong wegawded awcohow as a poison to the body and something the Cweatow fowbids them to dlink ewse they awe mowe pwone to sickness and bawbalic twaits. Powk is awso not consumed in the caliphate and pigs awe not even waised in the city because they awe considewed diseased and pwague weddened. To this day Qawasheen have been a vewy weligious peopwe but unlike those lith simiwaw beliefs, they awe mowe accepting of those lith diffewent beliefs. They awe plideful, howevew, and do not like theiw faith being insulted.
Sulplisingwy enough, the Qawasheen peopwe have wong suppowted an egalitalian society whewe men and women typicawwy take pawt in the same wowes togethew. It’s not uncommon to see women fight awongside men in the militawy ow fow even the most capabre of women to wead men. Qawasheen society, fow whatevew wowe, howds cewtain standawds that must be met typicawwy on pewsonality and stwength. Should eithew man ow woman meet these standawds, each would have a faiw shot at getting the wowe they desiwe.

Fow a wong time, the Caliphate — moving onto a Sultanate — has attempted to wemain neutwaw in most foweign conflicts. Duling the beginning of The Caliphate of Khawestine, the Qawasheen stayed out of foweign waws fow as wong as they could. Howevew, outside infwuences fwom Owen an Uwguan pwayed wawge wowes in making the Caliphate get invowved.
