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. | Acirien entertainment industry has quickly risen from basically nonexistent to a billion fleur industry since the beginning of the 20th century.

Until the late 1970s, the music genres which were allowed to be performed in public or played on the radio were strictly controlled by the government. Due to this, even rock music was near non-existent in Aciria, other than few underground groups performing for the youth of the nation, also providing a suitable outlet for the youth to "fight the power", the government decided to not crack down on it despite knowing of its existence. The reforms made in the 1970s then allowed both public performances and radio play of all genres of music, which then quickly sprouted a vibrant culture of music in the nation and the birth of various subcultures. Due to the restrictions til the late 1970s, much of the older generations look down on the newly arrived genres as decadent. | |||

Womens sports organizations receive less funding, the government offering funding to sports which develop the muscles required in childbirth to encourage safer and more numerous birthing in the nation. | |||
