Cultural observers have noted a significant transformation in the culture and society of New Harren since the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. Many of the nation's most prominent political leaders served in the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] in some capacity, and their military service appears to have left significant changes on how New Harren's people view themselves. The changes are not only unitive - the shared service appears to have bonded the people of the country closer together - but many social and cultural institutions have taken on a decidedly military character. The nation has been increasingly adapting the imagery of the [[Order of the North Star]], an honorary order associated with military service to the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]], within its government symbols. The decision is in part due to the strong association of many [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] veterans with new national pride for the state. In [[2025]], the motto of the order, "''Heaven's Light Our Guide''", was adopted as the Kingdom's motto. The ribbon of the order, and the medal, appear in the Kingdom's arms. In [[2027]], a famous marching song of the Royal and Confederate Army, "''[[My Crona, Heaven Sent]]''" was adapted as the national anthem of the Kingdom. Many retail products in the realm have taken on a martial character. Several large veterans groups have been established since [[2024]], and these groups are some of the first large scale cross-cultural social groups in the history of the realm. Some observers have referred to the "new" culture of New Harren as a "republic of veterans". | Cultural observers have noted a significant transformation in the culture and society of New Harren since the [[Final War of the Deluge]].
