Many aspects of Cartadanian culture can be traced back to the early cultures of Western Levantia and the Latinic Empire of the 16th century and their collision with Cartadania's native civilizations. The Latin brought Catholicism, Punthites, and the feudal encomienda system. After the fall of the Latinic empire, the Cartadanian people attempted to establish a pluralistic political system, between conservative and liberal ideals, however it was not without difficulty. The conservatives supported the involvement of the Catholic Church in the state, while liberals favored the separation of these. Some aspects of Cartadanian culture are contributions of Caphirian, Coscivian, Pelaxian, and other immigrants. Native people and Punthites played a large role in the formation of Cartadanian language, cuisine, music, dance and religion. The famous elements of Cartadanian culture are its art, music, style, and iconic food. Popular tastes in drama in Cartadania have long favored comedy; the improvisational style known as the Comédia de arte began in Cartadania in the mid-16th century and is still performed today. | Many aspects of Cartadanian culture can be traced back to the early cultures of Western Levantia and the Latinic Empire of the 16th century and their collision with Cartadania's native civilizations.

Carnival is an annual festival held between the Friday afternoon before Ash Wednesday and Ash Wednesday at noon, which marks the beginning of Lent, the forty-day period before Easter. During Lent, Catholics and some other Christians traditionally abstained from the consumption of meat and poultry, hence the term "carnival", from carnelevare, "to remove (literally, "raise") meat." The largest of the Carnival festivals in Cartadania is Sierra Carnival, with an average two million people celebrating Carnival. Other large carnival festivals include Carnival of Vila Real, Carnival of Santa Domenica, and Amar Carnival. Many Cartadanians also visit Pelaxia to attend the Carnival of Fátima, another very popular celebration. | Carnival is an annual festival held between the Friday afternoon before Ash Wednesday and Ash Wednesday at noon, which marks the beginning of Lent, the forty-day period before Easter.
