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. | 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.

Cultural observers have noted a significant transformation in the culture and society of New Harren since the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. Many of the nation's most prominent political leaders served in the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] in some capacity, and their military service appears to have left significant changes on how New Harren's people view themselves. The changes are not only unitive - the shared service appears to have bonded the people of the country closer together - but many social and cultural institutions have taken on a decidedly military character. The nation has been increasingly adapting the imagery of the [[Order of the North Star]], an honorary order associated with military service to the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]], within its government symbols. The decision is in part due to the strong association of many [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Harren)|Royal and Confederate Army]] veterans with new national pride for the state. In [[2025]], the motto of the order, "''Heaven's Light Our Guide''", was adopted as the Kingdom's motto. The ribbon of the order, and the medal, appear in the Kingdom's arms. In [[2027]], a famous marching song of the Royal and Confederate Army, "''[[My Crona, Heaven Sent]]''" was adapted as the national anthem of the Kingdom. Many retail products in the realm have taken on a martial character, and some observers have referred to the "new" culture of New Harren as a "republic of veterans". | Cultural observers have noted a significant transformation in the culture and society of New Harren since the [[Final War of the Deluge]].

Several large veterans groups have been established since [[2024]], and these groups are some of the first large scale cross-cultural social groups in the history of the realm.
