Line 103:

New Veltorina has a culture extending back several millennia due to the shared history, common traditions, and imported social mores of the Veltorine people, who emerged in [[Sarpedon]] during the medieval period from the intersection of [[Ancient Istroyan civilization]] and [[Latinic people]]. Beyond this longstanding tradition, New Veltorines have taken on a more militaristic and solidaristic worldview due to the effects of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] on Cronan Veltorines.

New Veltorines are generally divided into three major cultural groups, the first two of which are ethnically Veltorine (and both of which make up about half of the Veltorine population) while the remainder is the assorted Cronan indigenous persons which are mostly marginalized within New Veltorine life. The first major group is the so called "''Brudxi''", named for the [[Veltorine_people#Life_Abroad_Movement|Varshani province settled by Veltorines first during the 1960s]]. The Brudxi are Veltorines who relocated to Crona during the middle and late 20th century, and accordingly most are part of multi-generational families that have lived in what is now New Veltorina for decades. The Brudxi are ~~generally~~ observed to have a more rustic character, having shed many of the tastes of high [[Sarpedon]]ic culture and affluence in the decades since moving to Crona. The Brudxi are also considered to be more world-weary in outlook due to several decades of status as a minority ethnicity; while Sarpedonic Veltorines also share this view of themselves as a minority, the Brudxi were victim to multiple waves of attempted ethnic cleansing before and during the [[2010]]s, which make them ~~generally~~ more suspicious of indigenous Cronans as well as authority ~~generally~~. The Brudxi tend to have a distinctive accent with some [[Hieratic Varshani]] words introduced, particularly as slang. The Brudxi also have a mixed cuisine style, retaining many Veltorine traditional favorites and family recipes while including indigenous meals, which they have eaten for generations. Politically, the Brudxi are more cynical, ~~generally~~ more {{wp|populist}}, and socially conservative. The Brudxi made up a majority of the personnel of the [[Veltorine Popular Defense Committee]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. Most Brudxi would be considered nationalist in a sense (and most are members of the Party for the National Movement), but scholars have observed that the Brudxi eschew more intellectual or Romantic senses of nationalism in favor of a "defensive" or "possessive" view of nationality. Brudxi ~~generally~~ have lower levels of educational attainment than their Fero counterparts; though their ancestors were largely technical experts or scientists, the children of those experts were generally not given easy access to education.

Economically, many Brudxi occupy working class and agricultural jobs as well as service in the New Veltorine military, though the Brudxi also make up the senior clique in the Party for the National Movement and consequently form the country's political elite.

The "''Feros''", short for "transfero" (transplant), are the second major Veltorine cultural group in New Veltorina. Feros generally moved to New Veltorina during the 21st century, especially following the establishment of [[Cetsencalia]] as a Veltorine principality in [[2015]].

Feros generally moved to New Veltorina during the 21st century, especially following the establishment of [[Cetsencalia]] as a Veltorine principality in [[2015]]. Accordingly, the Feros are first generation immigrants to [[Crona]] and retain nearly all of the extant social mores and traditions of Veltorines in [[Sarpedon]], [[Halfway]], and [[Lariana]]. Feros are usually highly educated and consider themselves relatively culturally sophisticated, preferring higher level cultural amenities in major cities such as New Taxades. The Feros are diverse in terms of political allegiance but have generally similar outlooks. As the Feros are better educated on average than the Brudxi, they tend to have a more philosophical, ideological, and high-minded view of politics. This takes two main forms: about half of Feros are members of the dominant Party for the National Movement and make up the Romantic nationalist wing of that party, viewing New Veltorine nationalism as a culmination of historical forces and ultimately filling a vacuum on the world stage left by the destruction of old Veltorina. The other half of Feros, meanwhile, hold to modified versions of the ideology of old Veltorina, [[constitutional socialism]], with all of the complex philosophical and sociological frameworks that come with it. Many of the Feros were followers of the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]] and then made up virtually all of the membership of the [[Cetsencalia#Veltorine_Social_Council|Veltorine Social Council]] when it was made the governing authority in [[Cetsencalia]]. New Veltorina's Fero population considers itself more internationalist in outlook than the Brudxi, and tend to identify themselves as more in favor of civil rights for indigenous Cronans than the Brudxi, though interntional cultural observers have noted that this distinction may be more relevant in self-identity than actual policy proposals or outcomes. Feros make up many of the high level corporate and {{wp|white-collar}} positions within New Veltorina as well as the majority of members of the National Convocation, but are outnumbered by Brudxi in senior leadership positions within the state and the ruling Party for the National Movement.
