Volonian cuisine carries influences from not just indigenous Sarpic-based cuisine, but also the cuisines of Caphiria and Chrobonsk thanks to their close proximity to Volonia and the former's long history of ruling over what is now Volonia. Fish caught in Lake Parima is one of the primary staples of Volonian cuisine thanks to the nation's highly profitable fishing industry, and through its proximity to Chrobonsk there exists a Suratii influence within many Volonian seafood dishes; how strong this influence is depends entirely on proximity to the border with Chrobonsk. As for the influence Caphiria has had on Volonian cuisine, it would suffice to say that a sizeable portion of modern Volonian cuisine consists of Caphiric dishes with a Volonian flair to it. For example, Volonian pizza generally has Lake Parima fish as one of its most common toppings, and olive oil is commonly used as a cooking oil for many Volonian dishes. More traditional Sarpic dishes found in Volonia make use of a bran-based juice known as ''{{wp|Borș (bran)|zeamă de grâu}}'' (wheat juice; literal: sauce of wheat), often as a sour agent, but in recent years it has become a popular non-alcoholic beverage in Volonia. | |||

The [[Catholic Church]] is the official religion of Volonia and is officially represented in the House of Tribunes. The 1970 Constitution states that the Volonian people "are intrinsically and forever tied to the Apostolic Catholic Faith and forever sit in communion with the Pope. The Catholic faith, though it may not be enforced by law, is an indelible characteristic of the Volonian people and their state." Volonians have long been associated with Catholicism in [[Sarpedon]], and were subject to persecution for it during [[Caphiria]]'s control of the area in the midst of the [[Great Schism of 1615]] and most especially during the disastrous [[Ash War]] when the persecution was at its worst. | The [[Catholic Church]] is the official religion of Volonia and is officially represented in the House of Tribunes.
