New Archduchy draws cultural traditions from many [[Occidental]] sources including its neighbors and indigenous peoples as well as from [[Urcea]] which established the New Archduchy colony. A majority of people in New Archduchy are descendants of [[Urcean people|Urcean settlers]] and speak [[Julian Ænglish]], though several other settler groups from South [[Levantia]] - including [[Derian people|Derians]], [[Caenish people|Caens]], and [[Carnish people]] - participated in the colonization of the region. New Archduchy also has considerable [[Coscivian]] influences from historic [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] cultural and geopolitical involvement in the region as well as from nearby [[Paulastra]]. | New Archduchy draws cultural traditions from many [[Occidental]] sources including its neighbors and indigenous peoples as well as from [[Urcea]] which established the New Archduchy colony.

New Archduchy also has considerable [[Coscivian]] influences from historic [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] cultural and geopolitical involvement in the region as well as from nearby [[Paulastra]]. The indigenous peoples of New Archduchy, closely related to the people of [[Titechaxha]], have long influenced New Archducal society through the dual means of cuisine and music. Self-identified indigenous people comprise about eighteen percent of the Republic's population. Outwardly, the culture of New Archduchy strongly resembles that of [[Culture of Urcea|Urcea's]], but the daily lives of its people more closely resembles that of Paulastra and [[Arcerion]], and its tastes are strongly aligned with both countries. Much of New Archduchy's commercial popular culture originates in Arcerion, who exhibits significant overall cultural influence over New Archduchy. | ||
New Archduchy's cuisine is largely similar to that of [[Culture_of_Urcea#Cuisine|Urcea's]] and other places in the [[Occident]], with two divergent influences which make the country's food unique. New Archduchy's early colonial administration was made up of many [[Gassavelian people]], and their cultural legacy is still visible in New Archduchy today, especially with respect to the country's cuisine. Additionally, the indigenous peoples of New Archduchy have also contributed to the development of New Archduchy's cuisine. Two specific popular dishes standing out as emblematic of the country's culinary history, both of which are primarily descended from the early modern Gassavelian interest. The first dish, called "Eastern Stew", is a kind of {{wp|shepherd's pie}} which employs [[Audonia]]-style spiced beef and vegetables instead of traditional Occidental stew. The result, somewhat similar to {{wp|Korma|korma}}, combines the creaminess of heavily buttered mash potatoes with the spice of the beef for a smooth experience popular among both citizens and tourists alike. The second dish, called an "Odoneru Plate", is a similar adaptation of 18th century colonial food; it is essentially {{wp|fish and chips}} with {{wp|curry}} spice added to the batter used in frying the fish. | New Archduchy's cuisine is largely similar to that of [[Culture_of_Urcea#Cuisine|Urcea's]] and other places in the [[Occident]], with two divergent influences which make the country's food unique.

The [[Catholic Church]] plays a prominent role in the lives of the residents of New Archduchy and serves as the overwhelming religion of the residents of the Republic, both those of indigenous and Levantine origin. Catholic practices exist at all levels of society and feature prominently within popular culture. Religious observances, like in [[Urcea]], form the bulk of the country's holidays. The Church has a less pronounced influence on public affairs than in many [[Levantia|Levantine]] countries but Catholic morality remains a bedrock of public discourse. | The [[Catholic Church]] plays a prominent role in the lives of the residents of New Archduchy and serves as the overwhelming religion of the residents of the Republic, both those of indigenous and Levantine origin.
