Urceans' attitudes and worldview is predominantly shaped by Urcean interpretation of [[Levantine Catholic Church|Catholic]] teaching. The world is viewed essentially as hierarchical and the family, rather than the individual, as the basic unit of society. Much of society and government is viewed through the analogous lens of family, and consequently Urceans tend to have a relatively corporatist worldview which is reflected by the influence and role of [[Guilds (Urcea)|guilds]] in society. Urceans have extremely traditional tendencies and tend to view the social progressiveness of other cultures with suspicion. The political ideology of Urcea reflects these views and is intertwined with that of [[Organicism]], an "ideological marriage" which is reflected by Urcea's highly federal, highly hierarchical, highly democratic but illiberal state and [[Constitution of Urcea|constitution]]. | Urceans' attitudes and worldview is predominantly shaped by Urcean interpretation of [[Levantine Catholic Church|Catholic]] teaching.

===Kinship=== | ===Kinship=== | ||
In Urcea, kinship is typically oriented towards two units, the first being the {{wp|nuclear family}} and the second being ones [[Estates of Urcea|estate]]. The nuclear family unit, consisting of parents and any number of children, is the grouping typically considered within Urcea to be "family" or "close family". Besides typical relations with extended family, Urceans also feel close association to closely related members of their estate, which is a type of society-wide kinship grouping dating back to [[Great Levantia]]. Most Urceans - excepting most [[Caenish people]] and various ethnic minorities - are members of the estate system. The heads of Estates - the senior most member of the senior most house within the Estate - is called the Custóir, who has the responsibility of maintaining genealogical rolls for the Estate of which he or she is the head of. Estates have additional, intricate internal organizing mechanisms which determine the formal heads of household for each family. In addition to the estate system, the [[Ionian Highlands]] have their own clan system which is similar in nature and largely integrated within the estate system as special family groupings. | |||
===Cuisine=== | ===Cuisine=== | ||
Urcea's cuisine is very diverse and is characterized by its [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] origins while incorporating a wide array of [[Levantia|Levantine]] and overseas food traditions. Many traditional beef and pork-based foods traditional to Gaelic peoples were adapted and modified by Latinic settlers since the [[Age of XXX]], introducing peppers and other spices originally native to [[Sarpedon]] to create unique flavor combinations. Some cooking methods originated in other places - such as [[Vallos]] and [[Audonia]] - were later adapted to the base spices and agriculture products of Urcea and Levantia, creating modern Urcean staples like fried chicken and [[Culture_of_Urcea#Coque|coque]]. Since the beginning of [[The Deluge]], some [[Crona|Cronan]] cuisines are becoming increasingly popular and available in Urcea. | Urcea's cuisine is very diverse and is characterized by its [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] origins while incorporating a wide array of [[Levantia|Levantine]] and overseas food traditions.
