Medimeria has a four-century old culture that is aloof from both the [[Culture of Urcea|Urcean culture]] that it now shares a polity with and the [[Burgoignesc culture]] it once originated from. | |||
Medimerians strongly view their island as a place of refuge and take pride in their identity as a [[Pharisedom]]. | |||

Medimerians are divided among two ethnic groups; the predominant Refuges who make up about 80% of the island and the Ebidi who make up about 20% of the island's population. In the 21st century, these groups are heavily integrated, with ethnic-based prejudice being both uncommon and illegal on the island. Small wealth disparities exist between the more prosperous Refuges people, but significant strides were made in the 20th century to alleviate the differences. The degree of integration is such that Medimerian, rather than one's ethnicity, is the primary identity of island residents. It is considered impolite to comment on someone's ethnic background without them initially discussing it. | Medimerians are divided among two ethnic groups; the predominant Refuges who make up about 80% of the island and the Ebidi who make up about 20% of the island's population.
