=== Religion ===

Porlos is very diverse in terms of religion. Due to decades of Occidental influence, Porlos is majority Catholic, with 62% identifying as such. Many tribal folk religions are grouped into a singular category, of wich 24% identify. Islam makes up 6%, mostly from the large diaspora of [[Audonia|Audonian]] immigrants seen within the urban areas of the country, and 5% identifying as "other," with another 5% identifying as "non-religious." Secularism and the separation of church and state is enshrined in the Porlosi constitution, and there is no set official religion in the country. Porlosi residents are encouraged to practice whichever religion they choose.

== Culture ==

~~=== Architecture ===~~

Porlosi culture is loosely based on a mix of [[Pan-Qabóri civilization]] and Western Sarpedonian civilization, due to centuries of influence and colonization from both the Qabóri Woqalate and Cartadania. Porlos is very culturally similar to Tierrador, harboring characteristics of its eastern neighbor to which scholars have gone as far as to refer to it as "Western Tierrador." Despite this, the Soqweux culture group of Porlos is the truly dominant culture, and most aesthetics of Porlosi culture are derived from the Soqweux culture, language, and lifestyle.

=== Cinema & television ===

The popular Porlosi dark comedy and pseudo-documentary series [[Wealsaadafun]] (''Wealth Idiots''), which ran from 2007 to 2016 on [[TV9 Porsaahi]], focuses on a fictional group of incompetent investors who attempt to allocate the fund's billions while operating within the ethical investment guidelines set by a fictional group of even more incompetent Porlosi politicians. Each episode revolves around one or more of the investors accidentally breaking one insignificant guideline, which in turns starts a chain reaction of severely negative failures. The show was created as political satire, taking shots at the country's pension office for not specifying a specific list of straightforward investment guidelines, giving the investors who were in charge full freedom to invest the funds in whatever they chose, which lead to severe mishandling and many close calls of collapse. Eventually, the Assembly of the Woqalate would approve harsh ethical guidelines in 2012, ironically similar to those seen in the series.

Porlosi music is ~~regarded as~~ one of the ~~last remnants~~ of ~~pure Soqweux culture~~.

Porlosi music was formed mainly through Soqweux, Qabóri and Cartadanian elements. A lot of Porlosi music genres revolve around Qabóri and other native Cronan influences, and even some elements from northern Crona. [[w:Bossa nova|Kaiseetaaki]] is a form of relaxed Cartadanian samba music, developed in the late 1950s in Porlos, including elements from [[Tawakee]] [[w:Reggae|reggae music]]. [[Rubin Taashawiaai]] was one of the first to perfect the art of kaiseetaaki, and became the most popular musician in Porlos and one of the most popular in South Crona due to his unique rhythmic styles. This inspired a new wave of kaiseetaaki artists in the 1970s and 80s, and the new genre gained a cult following, revolving mostly around Taashawiaai, and later artists such as [[Aphío Abaasukol]], [[Emiq Kuuskal]], and [[Patricio Sundautaas]].

=== Sports ===

~~=== Theater ===~~

Sports have a large role in Porlosi culture and lifestyle. Porlos has two national sports, [[w:Association football|football]] as a summer sport and [[w:Ice hockey|ice hockey]] as a winter sport. Football is the most popular sport, with about 100 thousand registered Porlosi players. Football in Porlos is governed by the [[Porlosi Football Association]], who also manages the [[Porlos national football team]]. The national team has been to seven [[WAFF World Cup|WAFF World Cups]], most recently in 2034. Their best finish was third place in the [[2002 WAFF World Cup|2002 edition]], defeating [[Daxia]] 2–1 in the third place game. Porlos has also participated in every [[UCFA|UCFA Cronan Championship]] since 1981, with their best finish being third place twice, in 1991 and 2003. The [[Porsaahi Liigafótaabui 1]], or PL1 for short, is the highest tier of football leagues in the country, being contested by fourteen clubs. The most popular football club in the country is [[Uunatikaaski Naqili]], which has won the most PL1 titles, at 27, and has also won two [[UCFA Champions League|UCFA Champions Leagues]], in back-to-back years in 1993 and 1994.

~~=== Visual arts ===~~

Ice hockey is the second-most popular sport, and is most popular in the eastern mountainous region where the climate is slightly more favorable for the sport. The [[Orixtal Hockey League]], the premier hockey league in South Crona, bases two clubs in Porlos; the [[Pacuí Mammoth]], who won back-to-back [[Watson Cup|Watson Cups]] in 1974 and 1975, and the [[Naqili Hornets]], who recently won their first Watson Cup in 2027. The [[Porsaahi Hooqelaatiliiga]] is contested by twelve clubs from every major city in Porlos, and is part of the much larger [[South Cronan Hockey League]], which serves as a direct feeder league for OHL junior prospects. There are close to 47,000 registered hockey players in Porlos, and hockey in the country is administered by [[Hockey Porsaahi]]. The [[Porlos national hockey team]] has won the [[1980 World Cup of Hockey]], defeating [[Urcea]] 6–4 in the final.
