In Urcea, kinship is typically oriented towards two units, the first being the {{wp|nuclear family}} and the second being ones [[Estates of Urcea|Estate]]. The nuclear family unit, consisting of parents and any number of children, is the grouping typically considered within Urcea to be "family" or "close family", though extended family relations between multiple "nuclear family" units, even those not directly related, is common. Extended families have increasingly begun to live closer together as part of emergent {{wp|Housing_in_Urcea#Exurban|exurban housing attitudes}}. Besides typical relations with extended family, Urceans also feel close association to closely related members of their estate, which is a type of society-wide kinship grouping dating back to [[Great Levantia]]. Most Urceans - excepting most [[Caenish people]] and various ethnic minorities - are members of the estate system. The heads of Estates - the senior most member of the senior most house within the Estate - is called the Custóir, who has the responsibility of maintaining genealogical rolls for the Estate of which he or she is the head of. Estates have additional, intricate internal organizing mechanisms which determine the formal heads of household for each family. The Estates annually compete in [[Damselalia]], a source of national and Estate pride. In addition to the estate system, the [[Ionian Plateau]] have their own clan system which is similar in nature and largely integrated within the estate system as special family groupings. | In Urcea, kinship is typically oriented towards two units, the first being the {{wp|nuclear family}} and the second being ones [[Estates of Urcea|Estate]].

Urcea's cuisine is very diverse and is characterized by its [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] origins while incorporating a wide array of [[Levantia|Levantine]] and overseas food traditions. Many traditional beef and pork-based foods traditional to Gaelic peoples were adapted and modified by Latinic settlers since the [[Latin Heroic Age]], introducing peppers and other spices originally native to [[Sarpedon]] to create unique flavor combinations. Some cooking methods originated in other places - such as [[Vallos]] and [[Audonia]] - were later adapted to the base spices and agriculture products of Urcea and Levantia, creating modern Urcean staples like fried chicken | Urcea's cuisine is very diverse and is characterized by its [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] origins while incorporating a wide array of [[Levantia|Levantine]] and overseas food traditions.
