Due to its nature as an originally colonial nation, New Harren contains people of both of these descents, with the Levantine heritage residents tracing their origin to [[Urcean people]]. Urcean-descendant residents of the country comprise a slim majority of the residents of the nation, and accordingly Urcean culture is the dominant cultural and social system of people living in New Harren, not just those of Urcean descent. Among residents of New Harren, an increasing number refer to themselves as [[Nysdrine people]], an emergent cultural and ethnic group that predates the establishment of the confederation in 2010. Nysdrines view themselves as having some degree of Levantine cultural influence (or Levantine ethnicity) while having a distinctly Cronan personal origin. Nysdrine identity ranges greatly from indigineous people who practice [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] to Levantine-descent individuals who were born in [[Crona]]. | ||
Cultural integration of [[Occidental]] and [[Crona|Cronan]] heritages is one of the central social and political concerns of life in New Harren. The more overt integration, and efforts towards integration, occur against the backdrop of the emergent Nysdrine people. Integration within a New Harren context specifically means the combination of [[Urcean people|Urcean]] influences with those of the ten constituent peoples and their culture. In the decades since the establishment of the confederation, cultural exchange began occurring almost immediately within the realm's large cities. Young, unemployed native peoples from the constituent states began large scale migrations to New Harren's southeastern coastal cities beginning around 2013. Though native peoples had always been present in this region, the arrival of young people from the constituent states began the process of "integration" in a confederated New Harren context in earnest. | |||
Policymakers in New Harren have made a conscious effort to try and speed up the pace of cultural exchange, a process which can normally take hundreds of years. Several cultural exchanges, new universities, and other institutions have been created by the government of New Harren to attempt to create a new, blended culture. These efforts almost always occur within the same set of "guard rails," namely that the exchange must take place within the Levantine-settled territories of the country first and radiate out. The state describes that "the context in which a culture can be formed...must not be the same one in which ones are destroyed." Significant efforts are being made to ensure that the formation of new shared traditions does not lead to {{wp|cultural genocide}} for the constituent peoples of the country. As part of cultural preservation efforts, the realm's government have begun construction of large museums in each of the constituent parts of the country to ensure that constituent cultures - ranging from everyday life to ancient traditions - are preserved. | Policymakers in New Harren have made a conscious effort to try and speed up the pace of cultural exchange, a process which can normally take hundreds of years.
