A common feature of Fhainnin cuisine is it is often served hot; given the propensity for frigid winters in the north and along the mountains, this should come as little surprise. Moth families put a great deal of effort into stocking their kitchens well, as the dining room is the central feature in most traditional home plans and meals are an important customary aspect of the culture. Snack foods are available but are generally derided in traditional circles, though this 'metropolitan' trend is becoming more common, and ready-to-eat restaurants are very popular. | A common feature of Fhainnin cuisine is it is often served hot; given the propensity for frigid winters in the north and along the mountains, this should come as little surprise.

Faneria's political zeitgeist has wavered considerably over the last century and a half, with a traditionalist monarchy being overthrown by a radical revolutionary republic in the 1900s that later transformed into a semiauthoritarian hybrid state in the 1950s. Its policies are typically nationalistic and focused on economic growth and public wellbeing along with soft power projection. It formally claims some border regions currently possessed by [[Caergwynn]], and although it has good relations with its neighbor Fiannria, the ethnic makeup of Fiannria's coastal region along the Vandarch and the territory's history as a battleground between [[Holy Levantine Empire|HLE]] troops and Fhainnin armies makes Faneria's formal renunciation of claims seem shallow. | Faneria's political zeitgeist has wavered considerably over the last century and a half, with a traditionalist monarchy being overthrown by a radical revolutionary republic in the 1900s that later transformed into a semiauthoritarian hybrid state in the 1950s.
