Modern Larianan culture (referred to as Larianic) is largely homogenous in the modern day, having been formed from several different competing groups in antiquity and the medieval period. It is primarily descended from non-[[Adonerum|Adonerii]] Latins with some non-Latin indigenous Urlazic influence included. Adonerii-descended Latins - most prominently Caphirians - have also significantly influenced Larianan culture over time. Lariana's culture definitively emerged in the post-Adonerii period, and accordingly despite a shared genetic ancestry it has stark differences from the culture of Latin-speakers like the [[Caphiria]]ns and Latin-descendants such as the [[Urcean people|Urceans]]. | Modern Larianan culture (referred to as Larianic) is largely homogenous in the modern day, having been formed from several different competing groups in antiquity and the medieval period.

Besides the Larianic majority, large ethnic and cultural minorities are also present in Lariana. [[Urcean people|Urceans]], [[Caphiric people|Caphirians]], and [[Veltorine people|Veltorines]] are present in the country in significant numbers. | ||
Lariana's culture exists downstream of both the larger [[Culture of Urcea|Urcean]] and [[Culture of Caphiria|Caphiric cultures]], and in many aspects Larianan culture views itself more as fitting into both cultures rather than existing in its own right. Famously, Lariana is home to the film, television, and literary "filter" of Casina, where these industries adapt Urcean and Caphiric content for the other countries. On an everyday level, many Larianans exhibit an ecclectic mix of Urcean and Caphiric social mores. For example, a distinct social sense of ''[[Culture_of_Caphiria#Social_order|dignitas]]'' is present within Larianan society; however, in the more democratic Urcean sense, dignitas is based almost exclusively on achievement and social capital rather than the estate of one's birth. In sports, Larianans tend to follow Urcean sports though Caphiric ones are growing in popularity. In politics, Larianans elect and eject elected officials with the frequency of Urceans and often with the same degree of rhetoric, but still respect incumbent officeholders with a similar degree of deference employed within Caphiria's [[Cursus honorum|cursus honorum]]. | |||
The [[Catholic Church]] is a critical part of Larianan society and culture, as is the case in the [[Culture of Urcea|Urcean]] and [[Veltorine people|Veltorine]] influences on the country. Though not as strongly resistant to the [[Great Schism of 1615]] as the Veltorines, Larianans nonetheless held a century-and-a-half tradition of underground Catholicism, aided greatly by its close proximity to [[Levantia]] and easy availability of priests smuggled into the country. After it was conquered from Caphiria, the importance of the Catholic religion became a central focus of early state-building efforts, emphasizing that the country's Catholicity separated it from Caphiria. Accordingly, bishops received an outsized social presence within Lariana as major celebrities and social tastemakers, a position they still enjoy today. This phenomenon is similar to, but to a lesser extent, the [[New_Veltorina#Culture_and_society|bishopcentric society of New Veltorina]]. | The [[Catholic Church]] is a critical part of Larianan society and culture, as is the case in the [[Culture of Urcea|Urcean]] and [[Veltorine people|Veltorine]] influences on the country.
