  • Overview

    Dominian culture has evolved significantly from that of its colonizers in the 22nd century. Bearing the influence of hundreds of years of isolation, warfare, and fervent belief, the Empire's culture is very different from that of other human nations. A significant development in it was the injection of Unathi culture shortly before the founding of the Empire, bringing new types of fashion, architecture, and beliefs. Much of Dominian culture can be broken down to that present on Dominia proper and the most prominent subculture, present on Ignotum Balteum. The largest differences between parts of Dominian culture are not between planets or regions, but between social classes.

    Holidays

    Holidays in the Empire can be broken down into two types: religious holidays, usually feast days, and government or social holidays. The first are widely celebrated social occasions that provide rare occasion for all social classes to mix. Feasts are often the largest communal events of the calendar year. Of the non-religious holidays, some are officially celebrated holidays, while some may only be official in certain regions or planets.

    Fashion

    Dominian fashion, and its subset of Balteuc fashion, is very modest. Partially due to the frigid climates of Dominia and partially due to its conservative society, Dominians view any clothing that would show the shoulders for both genders, or the leg above the knee for women, to be immodest. Exceptions to this rule include those involved in manual labor. Fashion among the nobility is similar to that of the lower classes, but of a far higher quality of material and manufacture.

    Sports and Pastimes

    Popular sports in Dominia, while varying depending on income and class, include martial arts, tournaments, and horse racing. Video games are often played as a sport and pastime, especially amongst freemen and younger nobility. The most unique sport in Dominia is Talcrac, a sport that involves using a whip made of leather or a synthetic material to hit targets. Points are awarded for the difficulty of hitting the target as well as the flair involved in doing so.

    Music

    Music enjoyed by Dominians varies wildly across the social classes. Amongst serfs and former serfs music played with stringed instruments, esp. guitars, usually accompanied by folk lyrics is very popular. Among freemen, orchestral music, as well as piano and organ music is very popular. The noble classes have the most varied taste in music, but a popular genre is that of military marches, which while popular across all classes are specially so among the nobility.

    Architecture

    Two major schools of architecture exist: The Morozian Deco style, a more somber variant of the now classical Art Deco style, and Balteu Gothic, a mix of gothic, deco, and classic themes. The most prominent building constructed in the first style is the Imperial Palace of Moroz, and the Temple of the Ancestors on Ignotum Balteum for the latter. The former utilizes modern themes and materials, often with a militaristic theme, while the latter is a more harsh and religious inspired style.
