 ==Culture==
-Mainstream Istrenyan culture is a mix between the South Cronan indigenous culture, mostly stemming from centuries of Qabóri influence, and, more recently, Ængle culture, specifically that of [[Arcerion]]. Despite being closer to Arcerion politically, Istrenya is more culturally tied to Tierrador, with most elements of Istrenyan daily life barring near-perfect similarities to its southern neighbor. Since the 1950s, Istrenyan media, mostly music and film, became very widespread and mainstream throughout South Crona.

Despite being closer to Arcerion politically, Istrenya is more culturally tied to Tierrador, with most elements of Istrenyan daily life barring near-perfect similarities to its southern neighbor. Since the 1950s, Istrenyan media, mostly music and film, became very widespread and mainstream throughout South Crona. Karaba, Istrenya’s capital, is one of the largest cultural centers in South Crona.
 ===Cuisine===
 Istrenyan cuisine is influenced by local agriculture. Since there is a large presence of grain farming in Istrenya, bread and noodles are of importance and Istrenyan cuisine has been characterized as "noodle-rich". Istrenyan cuisine is also corn and pepper-based, due to those being highly-cultivated crops throughout the country. [[Kokelá]] is a traditional Istrenyan noodle soup which is made from chicken, corn, garlic, and onion. It is very popular throughout South Crona, usually served as a day-to-day meal.

The [[Istrenyan Premier League]] is contested by eighteen teams, and is the highest level of football in the country. [[Qapitol Karaba]] and [[FC 1957 Lokokeja]] are the two most successful clubs, with 27 and 23 IPL titles, respectively.
 Despite the majority of the nation being in a particularly warm climate, [[w:ice hockey|ice hockey]] is the second most popular sport in Istrenya.
