Nearly all Herci are members of the [[Catholic Church]], particularly with the end of the [[Great Schism of 1615]]. 92.1% of the island's residents report membership within the Catholic Church, with most of the remainder being irreligious. | Nearly all Herci are members of the [[Catholic Church]], particularly with the end of the [[Great Schism of 1615]]. 92.1% of the island's residents report membership within the Catholic Church, with most of the remainder being irreligious. | ||

Herci culture is a subset of [[Veltorine people|Veltorine culture]]. Accordingly, most Herci exhibit standard interests, worldview, and traditions of the Veltorine people with normal consideration towards regional variation. Several [[Culture of Urcea|Urcean cultural]] innovations have been introduced to the island in the decades since it came under Urcean control, such as [[Music_in_Urcea#Country_music|Urcean country music]], [[Culture_of_Urcea#Cuisine|Urcean cuisine standards]], and, increasingly, [[Culture_of_Urcea#Attitudes_and_worldview|Urcean social attitudes and worldview]]. Scholars have noted that Herciana's fierce defense of its historic Catholic religion vis a vis the influence of Caphiria have made it particularly susceptible to the [[Organicism|predominantly organic]] social and political views of Urcea. | Herci culture is a subset of [[Veltorine people|Veltorine culture]].

Scholars have noted that Herciana's fierce defense of its historic Catholic religion vis a vis the influence of Caphiria have made it particularly susceptible to the [[Organicism|predominantly organic]] social and political views of Urcea. Since the acquisition of the island by Urcea, it has also increasingly come into [[Halfway]]'s cultural gravity. Scholars have noted that Herci generally refer to [[Koureiros]], and not Messisoria, as simply "the city". Many Herci are fans of the same types of sports and same teams as those of neighboring Halfway, including and especially the [[Halfway#Sports|University of Koureiros]]. Spoken [[Julian Ænglish]] on the island is usually spoken with a [[Halfway#Demographics|Halfway dialect]] rather than the conventional Urceopolitan form of the language. Like Halfway, Herci society includes a number of [[Halfway#Society|fraternetas]] which provide social organization and structure. Travel between the two islands has become increasingly affordable since [[1980]], greatly enhancing the cultural links since that time. | |||
Within the island, Messisoria is the primary cultural driver. Its historic legacy gives island residents a clear sense of identity in antiquity to which they point back to, and references to Messisoria's past glory are regularly made in television shows, books, and other local mass media. Though the city does not have a significant external tourist draw, it nonetheless serves as the hub of nightlife and high culture on the island. Theater, in particular, is popular in Messisoria, including both foreign productions as well as domestic reinterpretations of [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|ancient Istroyan]] plays put in modern settings. | Within the island, Messisoria is the primary cultural driver.
