If by "Western" you mean a liberal democracy, then Cankristia is certainly Western.

If by "Western" you mean pop culture, we're in a transitionary stage.

In general, we make our decisions in a secular, rational manner. Freedom of speech is allowed, we tolerate immigrants (as long as they work), and a functioning Welfare Capitalist State.

The only thing that seperates us from "Western" culture is the fiercely nationalistic (almost religious) pride in our nations historical background.

The concepts of east and west were abandoned over ten thousand years ago, and that was before humanity migrated to our galaxy. So it's safe to say that our nation is not westernized at all.

Well, militarily we have copied the best innovations of the West. Culturally some Western styles of the arts, music, dance and theatre are prominent. Some Western sports are played, but the Communist Party has emphasised more traditional cultural influences in official policies in recent decades. But Western cultural influences and ideas are not uncommon.

Just don't do advocating for Western economic policies or political systems.

Santierra itself is a Western nation, it is often referred to as the "Spain of the West" as it is mostly populated from the descendants of Spanish settlers and the culture is very similar as the islands were mostly uninhabited before the Spanish arrived. It also shows many characteristics of other western governments, such as a liberal democracy and progressive social policies.

If anything, we're easternized. The only parts of western culture that have influenced are the early 1800's clothings; we have been trying to adopt the economic optimism that is present in American culture.

The Dominion no longer recognizes the term "west" and "east".
It retains global human culture and lifestyle from planet Earth.
The mixture of "western" and "eastern" elements is undefined.

I have already begun establishing new regulations and limitations for the senate to weed out corruption and ensure that it stands as a clear and unwavering voice of the people.

This new order of rule, this new Dominion, shall be maintained by liberty and justice to the citizens of mankind, those courageous pioneers who have fought through horrors unimaginable to become stewards of this distant end of the universe. Never again will fear, greed, or alien threats force us from our rightful place in the Koprulu sector, or from the sacred human desire for freedom."

How much Western influences has your nation adopted?

Quite a bit, given that two out of the three most widely languages are French and Portuguese, the majority of our population is Catholic, and that the nation itself is historically syncretic between Latinate and Korean traditions in many regards.

Did your nation adopt Western ways of government, economics, administration, etc., or even go as far as adopting Western culture, such as art, clothing, way of life, or more?

Our government, economics, administration, etc. are highly Westernised, although a few Eastern traditions (i.e. a modified version of the Chinese-style civil service examinations) remain. Western culture is also the basis of Acadian culture, although several Eastern traditions (i.e. the celebration of the Korean New Year, Confucian influence on Catholic worship in many Asian communities, etc.) remain prominent.

For example, the Chen Dynasty has remained very traditional, and still sees Western ways as barbaric in many aspects. Christianity is the only major aspect of the Western world that the nation has adopted, but other than that, culture remains very closely aligned with how it was for the past thousands of years. The government remains very similar to how it was as well, with the Mandate of Heaven establishing the legitimacy of the Emperor. However, Western ideas such as a legislative body in the government has found its way into the Dynasty over the years, and Western-inspired reforms are made every once in a while, to weed out corruption and inefficiency.

A few scenes from the Chen Dynasty:

(Image)
A busy market in a town.

(Image)
A skyscraper as seen from a park.

(Image)
The Chinese interpretation of Christ in his throne.

Just a note, in this context Westernized does not mean Modernized, you can still be modern without adopting western ideals.


Those images of the Chen Dynasty truly demonstrate the all-inspiring beauty of The Master Culture and its Chosen People.

Like the Chen Dynasty, the True Chinese Federation, also known as The Master Culture, eagerly executes anyone who speaks in favor of non-Chosen (such as Western) ideals.

We are appalled at any attempts at polluting our omnibenevolent and omnipotent culture!

However, certain barbarian and minor-cultural technologies have been adopted in the True Chinese Federation, for we do not condemn science and technological development itself.
You should adopt The Master Culture right away!
