 The '''University of Old Salisbury''' is renowned for the long-standing debate between the department of the History of the Philosophy of History and the department for the Philosophy of the History of Philosophy - the growing heat of the debate (concerning the relationship between time, space & thought) has led to several duels over the past century, usually in hot-air balloons and featuring the famous duelling pistols (rather than the blunderbusses which were used in antiquity). These heated debates pass by the subjects of the Supreme Ruler who are much more concerned with the rival claims of Afternoon Tea and High Tea to cultural supremacy. Afternoon Tea is preferred in the capital and to the west, High Tea in the orient. Tiffin has been making inroads in the Tews. It is usually best to avoid the subject if one finds oneself in polite company. No such debates exist regarding the crucial importance of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevenses Elevenses].<br><br>
 '''Tea dances''' are a very popular form of social entertainment. Whilst attempts to import the better varieties of tea from [[Isence (Rough Guide)|Isence]] have been conspicuous in their lack of success (it just will ''not'' travel), this has been more than compensated by the growing interest in developing the perfect tea-cake. Spices and fruits from far-flung systems and galaxies have been combined in a veritable cocktail of combinations in order to vie for this honour. While open-topped sandwiches are ''de rigeur'' as an accompaniment, there has yet to be much interest shown in their possibilities. Whilst the gavotte is the most popular of the dances at such events, it is being challenged by the Viennese Waltz and the Rhumba. A new Digebitian variant of the rhumba has emerged, and is proving very popular in the region south of the Walsinghams, and around the city of Lancaster.<br><br>
 '''Digebitian sculpture''' is justly renowned. Often using translucent greywacke carved from the mountain ranges bordering the Dismal Desert, the sculptors have famously developed a traditional style which is oft-termed (per-) Phidian. The most famous such is the Schemata of Noblesse Oblige, a rendering of the Feudal Principle using principles of numerological symbolism derived from Saint Phibo Nacci's majestic treatise on Theological Arithmetics. Placed above the cocktail throne in the capital, it inspires the gathered nobility with the representation of the source of their authority. Mention here should also be made of '''Arbuthnot of Digebiti''', the renowned artist, whose works adorn a number of royal and noble manses across the systems of Santaari. He was fond of painting the heavens as seen from different locations. His masterpiece, the Maximal Occultation of the Ordinator of Octoid Reality, is displayed in the Fifth Apse of the Grand Cathedral of Digebiti, located in Greater Walsingham (some 300 miles from the capital). It shows Saint Giles slowly fading from immanence into transcendence. The Art Historians debate the precise location of the heavens therein depicted. The cathedral is also famous for the painting of the [[Ebortsa's lucky charm|The Hounding of Ebortsa]], displayed in the nave.<br><br>
 The current craze for '''Extreme Dominoes''' involves large dominoes crafted from Bemearan Walnut Wood and imported at great expense. The Dominoes are half again as big as a chap. Players usually stand on galleries surrounding the courtyards where the games are played, issuing instructions to those moving the pieces. The current champion is the Dowager Margravine of Outer Snoring, whose grasp of the deficiencies of her opponents is second to none. The larger households have already deputised some of their heftier footmen for this task, and a new guild of domino dominators is being formed. Attempts by the Guild of Sculptors to replace the wood with carved local stone have yet to achieve any success.<br><br>

 The '''Supreme Ruler of Digebiti, Prince-Elector Rupert XIX of the House of Lancaster''', reigns over the system from the Cocktail Throne in the capital, Lesser Walsingham. He took the throne after the death of his older brother, Desmond, the then heir, during a game of Real Tennis. This unhappy event led to Rupert's eschewal of Tennis for Extreme Dominoes. He is understood to be much concerned with the constant diplomatic friction between Digebiti and Inonri (and their compatriots in Vetitice) to the north. There are many worries about possible Inonrian agents working to undermine the political system here in Digebiti, fomenting instability and disloyalty.<br><br>
