==Culture== | |||
Acirien culture combines indigenous heritage, rooted around the cult of Three Sisters of antiquity, along with the Latinic and Catholic influences brought over to Aciria over time. The culture of Aciria has rapidly changed since the dawn of the 19th century after never before seen stability in the region brought by the Empire, particularly the rapid urbanization after the dawn of the Empire. Due to the different tribes of [[Acirien people|Aciriens]], regions have minor cultural and linguistic differences from Aciria Proper, the tribe that eventually assimilated most of the cultures into it in the 19th century. In the south by the border of [[Grajnidar]] the local Montagner people have a vastly different culture and dialect to that of rest of Aciria, caused by their seclusion from the other tribes and influence from trade with the Vsikites that also inhabit the region. | |||
===Cuisine=== | |||
Acirien cuisine has a relatively short history and not largely known outside of Aciria. The instability caused people to prefer simple cuisines based on the meats, fish or various crops grown in their local area, and even these changed from tribe to tribe. It wasn't until the 1850s when an Acirien cuisine was uplifted from its humble roots due to wanting to change the public perception of the nation from a backwater unstable country to a sophisticated, modern 19th century state. One of the most well-known dishes of this era is Jambons Cuits á la Vapeur, lit. Steamed Hams. It is the most widely known Acirien dish, with traditionally a steamed pork cutlet in the middle with buns both under and above it. Various condiments are usually enjoyed with it. | |||
Soups are rare in Aciria other than the Montagner region due to soups being perceived as poverty food. Even the lower social classes do their best to avoid soup to avoid being seen as poor or lower class; the Montagner region has various soups that have become popular with the upper classes of the nation. These often include mushrooms, deer or boar and potatoes. | |||
===Entertainment=== | |||

Acirien entertainment industry has quickly risen from basically nonexistent to a billion fleur industry since the beginning of the 20th century. The most widely appreciated piece of Acirien entertainment is Conflits Galactiques, a space opera set in a galaxy long time ago, far, far away. The creator Grégoire Luc rose to international fame shortly after the release of the first movie in the franchise in the 1970s. Most Acirien entertainment is directed at the Acirien market, with majority of it being exclusively in Acirien. Popular domestic products often are subtitled or dubbed and shipped to foreign markets, but in small amounts due to little demand. Acirien detective dramas are popular on foreign markets, particularly titles such as Doubting my Visions, The Phantom with Silver Hair and Whispers of Patriots. The appreciation of Acirien entertainment on the international markets has started slow expansion of the film industry with both private and government investments, with putting emphasis on quality subtitling or dubbing to make Acirien language entertainment less intimidating to foreign markets. The majority of the entertainment industry is located in Trosseurs. | |||
===Sports=== | |||

With no particular sport being valued universally in the nation, by far the most popular sport is football. Both local and international games are followed by millions with football hooligans being an uncommon sight at these games. Football is particularly popular and widely played in the Valarién region, where the most successful football stars and teams originate from. Other regional favourites are sailing in the marine regions of Aciries Marines and Portée Nord, equestrianism in Trosseurs and skiing and archery in Sainte-Beatrice, the region where most snowfall is most common and widespread. Particularly the Montagners are celebrated on a national level due to their skill in archery. | |||
