{{Main|Culture of Urcea}}


The culture of Urcea is primarily of Occidental origin and formed from its predominantly Christian religious life, its interaction with the cultures of [[Levantia]] including those it incorporated, and the impact of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. Based on the joint legacies and cultural inheritances of the [[Gaelic people|Gaels]] and [[Great Levantia]] and its [[Adonerum|Adonerii]] ancestors, a unique culture blending the cultural traditions of both legacies emerged by the 10th century. Although Urcean culture is a distinct entity, the individual cultures of the various regions of the country - such as [[Canaery]] and the Ionian Highlands are diverse and have varying degrees of overlap and distinctiveness. Many Urcean cultural elements, especially from popular culture, have spread across the globe through modern mass media. Urceans' attitudes and worldview are predominantly shaped by Urcean interpretation of [[Catholic Church|Catholic]] teaching. The world is viewed essentially as hierarchical and the family, rather than the individual, as the basic unit of society. Much of society and government is viewed through the analogous lens of family, and consequently Urceans tend to have a relatively corporatist worldview which is reflected by the influence and role of [[Guilds (Urcea)|guilds]] in society. Urceans have extremely traditional tendencies and tend to view the social progressiveness of other cultures with suspicion. The political ideology of Urcea reflects these views and is intertwined with that of [[Organicism]], an "ideological marriage" which is reflected by Urcea's highly federal, highly hierarchical, highly democratic but illiberal state and [[Constitution of Urcea|constitution]].
