Clothing made in New Harren is subject to export controls due to the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association|Nysdra Sea Treaty]], and accordingly most brands have to export directly to [[Urcea]] before they are available for purchase abroad. Most of the major fashion houses hold a shared ownership interest in a [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]]-based brand called "Treasures of the Nysdra", quickly identifiable by its "rising sun" symbol, which functions as the international retailer for most Port St. Charles fashion houses. Many economists believe that the relative scarcity and cost resulting from the export controls have kept Port St. Charles brands relatively hard to come by, maintaining brand novelty and prestige. The export controls also mean that populations of the other [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]] nations have ready access to the Port St. Charles style. As a result, many global fashion analysts have consistently referred to the people of [[Quetzenkel]] as "best dressed" every year since [[2021]]. | Clothing made in New Harren is subject to export controls due to the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association|Nysdra Sea Treaty]], and accordingly most brands have to export directly to [[Urcea]] before they are available for purchase abroad.

{{wp|Lacrosse}} is the most popular sport in New Harren, both among descendants of Occidentals as well as the native population. 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. | |||
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. | |||
