{{wp|Lacrosse}} is the most popular sport in New Harren, both among descendants of Occidentals as well as the native population. Many historians and scholars believe the modern form of the game originated in what is today New Harren. The game is played at all levels of society, ranging from pickup games to leagues organized by academic institutions and, most prominently, at the professional level at the Northern Crona Lacrosse Association (NCLA), which includes fourteen teams from New Harren and [[Porfiria]]. The NCLA is the most popular professional sports league in New Harren by far, drawing the most television views as well as most tickets sold. The league is considered one of the world's premier Lacrosse leagues due to the cultural history of the sport among the native peoples of [[Cusinaut]], leading to great aptitude for the sport among New Harren's constituent peoples. Lacrosse stadiums were one of the earliest large infrastructure projects in the history of New Harren, with nine stadiums of a capacity greater than 35,000 built throughout the country between 2012 and 2019. | {{wp|Lacrosse}} is the most popular sport in New Harren, both among descendants of Occidentals as well as the native population.

New Harren and [[Porfiria]] are closely aligned in professional sports, not only with respect to their membership in the NCLA but also with a professional {{wp|soccer league}} called the Cusinaut Football Associated League (CFAL), which includes sixteen teams from both countries. The CFAL is the second most popular professional sports league in New Harren, and soccer is popular throughout the country. | New Harren and [[Porfiria]] are closely aligned in professional sports, not only with respect to their membership in the NCLA but also with a professional {{wp|soccer league}} called the Cusinaut Football Associated League (CFAL), which includes sixteen teams from both countries.

Cultural observers have noted a significant transformation in the culture and society of New Harren since the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. Many of the nation's most prominent political leaders served in the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] in some capacity, and their military service appears to have left significant changes on how New Harren's people view themselves. The changes are not only unitive - the shared service appears to have bonded the people of the country closer together - but many social and cultural institutions have taken on a decidedly military character. The nation has been increasingly adapting the imagery of the [[Order of the North Star]], an honorary order associated with military service to the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]], within its government symbols. The decision is in part due to the strong association of many [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] veterans with new national pride for the state. In [[2025]], the motto of the order, "''Heaven's Light Our Guide''", was adopted as the Kingdom's motto. The ribbon of the order, and the medal, appear in the Kingdom's arms. In [[2027]], a famous marching song of the Royal and Confederate Army, "''[[My Crona, Heaven Sent]]''" was adapted as the national anthem of the Kingdom. Many retail products in the realm have taken on a martial character. Several large veterans groups have been established since [[2024]], and these groups are some of the first large scale cross-cultural social groups in the history of the realm. Some observers have referred to the "new" culture of New Harren as a "republic of veterans". | Cultural observers have noted a significant transformation in the culture and society of New Harren since the [[Final War of the Deluge]].
