Belarus
Overview
Farm fields and forests stretch between Soviet-style cities in Belarus. Most folks live in apartments, grow vegetables at summer cottages, and pickle everything for winter. Hockey is huge, tractors are a point of pride, and parents push kids to study tech. People keep their thoughts private but open up over home-cooked meals.
