Arkvera lies at the intersection of the North Coast, Eastern Highland, and Mid-Continental cultural regions, all of which have influenced the culture of the state. The largest ethnic groups in Arkvera are Kiryanvi Coscivians (including the Kandem and X group), Gaels, [[Ĥeldican Coscivians]], Highlanders, [Antaric group that gave the name], Sedhem, and Arnóriem, though many other Coscivian peoples have settled in the state over the centuries, especially in the larger cities and along the coast. Uroms account for some 12% of the population.

The official languages of Arkvera are Kiravic Coscivian and Gaelic. According to some reports, a more Arkverans speak Gaelic than Kiravic if second-language speakers are included. Native Gaelic speakers are most highly concentrated in the upland western regions that abet the officially-designated Gaelteacht region of Kastera, though Gaelic-speaking villages and neighbourhoods can be found throughout the state. Gaelic primary and secondary education are widely available, and courses in Gaelic as a second language are offered in most Kiravic-medium public schools, where they are popular with Coscivian students.

Despite its relative poverty, Arkvera has nonetheless been a major contributor to Kiravian cultural and intellectual life. Many Insular Apostolic and Coscivian Orthodox monasteries were established in Arkvera as early as the 20550s, which fostered the production of much ecclesiastical music and art, as well as a prodigious literary output in both High Coscivian and Gaelic on topics as diverse as Christian theology, Shaftonist philosophy, linguistics, botany, brewing, and the cultures of local Urom tribes.
