Culture
Cembria has long been a centre of cultural innovation. Calnebridge, the mainland and its multiple outlying islands have a wide range of folk traditions. Its culture has been influenced by many factors including the nation's island status and its history as a western liberal democracy, colonial power, and the nation's vision on independence and self-sufficiency; preserving elements of distinctive traditions, customs and symbolism. Cembrian literature is popular, in particular the fables and poems which were written during the High Middle Ages. Cembria has been described as characterised by egalitarianism, statism, paternalism, and collectivism combined with openness to certain aspects of international culture. Lutheranism, trade unionism, and self-reliance are aspects that have been associated with Cembrian mentality.
