Fiannria has a rich and diverse culture, built upon a history of ancient peoples, migratory shifts, Christianization, the Holy Levantine Empire, and major intellectual and popular currents within the Occidental tradition. Unique among the states of Levantia, Fiannan culture and identity is built upon its subidentities, a diverse landscape of cultures where language, tradition, and culture vary greatly from one region to another. Only within the past few hundred years did any shared identity and culture develop, much of it celebrating its cosmopolitan traditions with a common identity found in shared religion, democratic traditions, and its history of intellectuals in both the arts and sciences. | Fiannria has a rich and diverse culture, built upon a history of ancient peoples, migratory shifts, Christianization, the Holy Levantine Empire, and major intellectual and popular currents within the Occidental tradition.
