Culture of the Confederated Peoples

The culture of the Confederated Peoples has been heavily influenced by the different heritage groups which make up the Confederal people but a distinctive national culture with strong regional variations does exist. Traditionally, the Confederated Peoples has not been considered a major cultural innovator with most Confederals either working within already developed traditions or following trends set in cultural leaders like Xirnium or Amestria. Although they are not generally viewed as trendsetters, Pantocratoria and Knootoss also have some notable influence on Confederal culture.

Culturally speaking, the Confederated Peoples is generally known for its multiculturalism, its world-class figure skating and its literature. Philosophy, a popular discipline in the Confederated Peoples, is also sometimes considered a cultural as well as an academic strong-point.

Strong regionalism in the Confederated Peoples makes it difficult to speak of a homogenous Confederal culture. Confederals instead prefer to think of their culture as a coming together of different traditions into a cultural unity greater than the sum of its parts. Sceptics instead think that the Confederated Peoples is simply culturally fragmented.
