Cartadania's architectural style has displayed remarkable diversity over the years, evolving throughout its history. While classical architecture is prominent in parts of the capital, its prevalence decreases outside this area, an uncommon trend of the developed Occident and one that has seen a particularly unique sense of style develop throughout the region.

{{wp|Art Deco}}, originating in Cartadania during the 1910s, gained prominence during the interwar period. This style merged early 20th-century Modernist avant-garde elements with the opulence and fine craftsmanship of Canetic historic design, occasionally incorporating motifs from non-Western cultures. Art Deco symbolized luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in societal and technological advancement. It featured rare and costly materials such as ebony and ivory, as well as exquisite craftsmanship. Such elements were considered ordinary for Cartadania during that era.

In regions with significant indigenous populations, particularly Vallosi and Suyaran, architecture draws inspiration from native styles. Traditional indigenous structures, crafted from local materials, cater to regional environmental conditions. Thatched roofs, open spaces, and the use of wood and bamboo are common elements. The traditional cognatian architectural style, mainly found in the nation's southern interior regions like Vitrea, includes decorative tiles, wrought-iron balconies, and city layouts featuring central squares and churches.

Urban areas, like the city of [[Alahuela]], exhibit diverse architectural styles, from sleek skyscrapers to contemporary residential buildings. Contemporary architects often blend global design trends with Cartadanian cultural elements. This progressive approach is increasingly popular, with government buildings adopting similar styles in various regions.

Preservation of historical structures and landmarks is vital in Cartadania. While older buildings may be replaced with modern designs, the commitment to conservation ensures the upkeep of colonial-era structures and cultural sites. Architectural diversity mirrors the nation's cultural richness, with regional variations influenced by local customs and traditions. Cities with strong Levantine immigrant communities in the east often feature architecture reminiscent of their countries of origin.

In recent years, sustainability and energy efficiency have become central to architectural design. Integration with the natural environment is increasingly important, and many areas require green spaces in architectural plans to combat issues like heat islands and {{wp|Wet-bulb temperature#Wet-bulb temperature and health|wet-bulb}} phenomena.

Cartadania's cuisine, deeply rooted in rich historical traditions, reflects a tapestry of culinary influences, including those from Levantine, Cronan, Audonian, and Alshari origins. These diverse elements have given rise to a culinary landscape marked by pronounced regional variations, mirroring the nation's geographic and cultural diversity. The country's remarkable biodiversity endows its culinary repertoire with an abundance of ingredients. The integration of traditional spices from both Cartadania and Caphiria, dating back to their historic spice trade, imparts distinctive flavors to Cartadanian dishes. Notable among these spices are chili peppers, black pepper, saffron, and paprika, enhancing the taste profiles of both savory and dessert items.

Seafood holds a prominent place in many regions, featuring dishes like moqueca, a beloved seafood stew enriched with ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, garlic, and lime. Meat-based preparations, including beef, lamb, and pork, showcase the culinary ingenuity of the nation. Cartadanian cuisine has benefited from the influence of neighboring countries, particularly Caphiria, especially Turiana, and Pelaxia. Elements of Caphirian-style dishes and cheeses have found favor, while the Turian and Pelaxian culinary touch contributes depth and variety. The country's love for indigenous beverages is evident in the consumption of cachaça, mate tea, coffee, fruit juices, and beer, underscoring a vibrant beverage culture.

Desserts span a wide spectrum of flavors and textures. Bolo de rolo is recognized for its thinly layered cake enveloping guava paste, while brigadeiro and beijinho offer delightful condensed milk-based sweets adorned with chocolate or coconut. The popularity of açaí na tigela, derived from the açaí palm fruit, is a testament to its granular texture and tart undertones. Additionally, dulce de leche, introduced from Pelaxia, has secured a significant place in Cartadanian confectionery.
