Countryhuman Researchers

The Countryhumans History Research Archival Project (CHRAP, often called CRAP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting documents related to personifications and conducting interviews with personifications to tell history from the perspective of personifications. Its research is largely volunteer-based. The project's goal is to remove biases for or against personifications from the historical record and tell a more accurate history of personifications, a history that personifications can participate in recording.

One of my books is an in-canon collection of some of these archives that were collected by the Countryhumans History and Research Archival Project. CHRAP is also something that was originally conceived by Angel (links on home).

Researching countryhumans is a profession within this universe. Similar to anthropology, countryhumans researchers research the history of countyhumans, where they originally came from, biological differences from humans, and any culture that is specific to countryhumans. Their research is very limited to historical text and what personifications are willing to tell them, as personifications do not often leave behind bodies, nor do any consent to being researched in any biological way. 

Due to this, the field often involves a lot of theorizing as most researchers are not able to prove their theories due to the fact that there is no way for them to study the physical biology of personifications and there are limited ways to prove a theory to be true.

Due to the immortal nature of personifications, many people throughout history have illegally experimented on them to discover their secrets, find other weaknesses that can be exploited by governments and humans, or figure out ways to trigger a mind-control state in a personification without having to go through the government processes behind them.

Many notable examples of these experiments were done by the Nazis and Japanese during World War Two, as well as by other governments on indigenous countryhumans within their land. Indigenous countryhumans are often the ones experimented on or otherwise used in these experiments because they are easier to get access to without being caught. Indigenous countryhumans are often not monitored by the press and, just like their people, it is easier to justify abuse against them than it is against a mainstream country.
