Holovetsians

Holovetsians are very precise. They live in tidy houses that are all set back the same distance from the lane, with walkways centered exactly in front of their front doors, which are in the precise middle of the house, up a certain number of steps, with a front porch running the width of the house. They are painted in bright colors, the significance of which has not yet been determined by space anthropologists. The edges of the walk and the front of the porch are planted with bright flowers, and the sides of the house with vegetables. The backyard is fenced, the fencing uniform and shared by the neighbors beside and behind, and is used for their outdoor family games. No measuring devices have been observed. They appear to have an innate ability to measure distances accurately without any tools.

Each Holovetsian couple has two children, except for the Head Couple. They are required to maintain the size of the community by having as many children as it takes to replace any couples who do not reproduce. Sometimes these children are given to other Head Couples to do not have their own children, for whatever reason. Occasionally, the Heads will award some of these additional children to a couple who already have two children as a reward for outstanding community acts, but this is rare.

Holovetsians wear colorful clothes and pointed red hats, which they have never been seen to remove. It is not known if their heads are pointed, or how the hats stay on. They are shorter and smaller than humans and thus, their houses are smaller. It has been difficult to observe the interiors as of yet, but they appear to be two stories, with a full basement.
