Culture of Caphiria: Difference between revisions

'''Caphirian culture''' is considered one of the birthplaces of [[Occidental civilization]], a cultural superpower, and has been shaped by its geography and comprehensive history. Caphirian culture is based on a variety of historical influences, primarily on the culture of ancient [[Istroyan]] and [[Adonerii civilization|Adonerii]] civilizations, of which the [[Latinics|Latins]] - the ethnolinguistic group of Caphiria - originate from. The culture of Caphiria is the culture of the Latins and vice versa. Legally, all Latinic nationals are citizens of Caphiria regardless of ancestry or nation of residence and may be distinguished from people of Latinic descent without Caphirian citizenship and from ethnic Latins living in territories adjacent to the Latium without Caphirian citizenship.

As a result of Caphiria's near-millennium-long continental hegemony across [[Sarpedon]], significant Latin influences can be observed in the language, law, culture, and institutions of its former provinces, territories, and colonies through a process known as Latinization. The spread of Latinization through the continent significantly shaped Caphiria's culture and other cultures that Caphiria controlled, creating Romance culture.

Caphiria, and in particular [[Venceia]], has played an essential role as a center of high culture since the 16th century and from the 19th century on worldwide. From the late 19th century, Caphirian culture has also played an important role in cinema, fashion, cuisine, literature, technology, the social sciences, and mathematics. The importance of Caphirian culture has waxed and waned over the centuries, depending on its economic, political, and military significance. A principle that underlies Caphirian culture is "''libertas''" - or freedom. Freedom of movement within the country, freedom to share ideas and customs, and freedom to seek wealth. The Senate hardly limits these liberties of the people with law, force, or even propaganda. Caphirian culture includes conservative and liberal elements, scientific and religious competitiveness, political structures, risk-taking, and free expression, and materialist and moral elements.
