We are very Westernized, but we prefer not to categorized as ''Western'' or ''Eastern''.

The Civilization that was the west has Migrated earth some 500 years ago. That which is left behind has very little influence outside the myriad states of North America, Albion, and Western Europe.

Although some "western" influences in forms of Governance and military have stayed here.

The Chen Dynasty wrote:Did your nation adopt Western ways of government

The United Cantons have widely embraced the wind of westernization, the government is a modern democratic federation that gives all citizens the rights they deserve. Free elections take place every 2 years, while Reffernedums are often used to highlight the connection between government and voters. This wonderful system we see today has evolved from Communism which has overthrown the Most Serene Republic of Liaki in late 19th century.

The Chen Dynasty wrote:administration

A very efficient administrative system has been put in place, inspired by those of the most developed western countries, most notably Switzerland and the USA. Canton governments are responsible for Education, infrastructure, healthcare and certain laws that are to be dealt with on the local level(gun ownership,emission regulations etc.). Cantons are the size of counties, they are composed of districts(usually 4 or 5). Before westernization, there were no administrative divisions, patrician families divided the land amongst themselves.
The Chen Dynasty wrote:economics

Nou economics are dominated by multinational corporations from Democratic Street(Nou equavilent of Wall St.), the market is mostly unregulated and free, just like in the west. The Government seeks to achieve the perfect balance between encouraging innovative business and maintainging free trade policies.
The Chen Dynasty wrote:Culture, such as art, clothing, way of life, or more

Not really, western culture is viewed as undeveloped and barbaric. Nou people decided to embrace only the best western civilization has to offer, culture is generally not a part of that group. The United Cantons have a specific culture you are obliged to respect and embrace everywhere outside western commercial districts. You could say that the only way the west influenced Nou culture is by giving it modern technology and, to some degree, inspiring modern Nou fashion, which can be described as a fusion of the east and west. When it comes to religion, catholicism is the third largest religion after Nou Paganism and Atheism.

We're fairly westernized, we have a western system of government (parliamentary republic), economic system (market socialism), and our culture is fairly westernized. However, due to the fact that 34% of our population is of Japanese ancestry and 91% of our population speaks Japanese (it's one of our three official languages), Japanese culture has a large influence on Gandoor as well.

Somewhat westernized, as our culture mixes some elements of traditional Turkic and Germanic culture(mainly in the essence of the Goths- the people not the subculture). So, while the majority practice traditional belief systems and speak Mittilagartian the culture itself is westernized. However more rural areas, are of course, somewhat less so. In some areas the old Arabic alphabet is still used.
Read the factbooks. We do not use NS Stats.
And no, we are not Muslim, nor do we speak Arabic.
We're a Turkic-Germanic nation who speaks a language that is essentially Germanic with features of Turkic languages. Culture is similar. Not Arabs. The star and moon represent the traditional religion practiced by Mittilagartians. Somewhat left, but the government is still being fleshed out.

Most Mackonians would claim they are beyond such petty dichotomies, however even from an outside perspective it is a difficult judgement to make. Greater Mackonia on the face of it seems as far from Western as you can get, numerous traditions seemingly antithetical to Western culture are the rule of the day such as a legalised assassin's guild. Greater Mackonia's politico-legal foundations are totally removed from those of the West which Mackonians view as irrational.

However on the other hand Mackonians see themselves as inheritors of the European cultural tradition, having absorbed that tradition from Prussian rule. Indeed while they may seem alien, Mackonia's politics are such based on a fairly Western criticism of those Western traditions it derides. Mackonians thus argue they have advanced beyond Western culture, indeed some would question the whole notion of a "Western culture" as an artificial substitute for European culture, which Mackonians see themselves as the true inheritors of.

Shalotte is 'Westernised' insomuch as their distant ancestors were probably Celtic, and their culture has evolved in isolation since then. In recent decades, Shalotte has made attempts to embrace certain elements of Western civilisation, such as when the capital city received a rudimentary electrical grid, but for the most part Shalottes have continued with their traditional way of life in spite of these new developments.

Sasfying, it is Westener in somt things, and unique in others.
As example, in economics, it is a liberalism, or laissez faire capitalism, even in classical orthodoxy, still it is more unique since it doesn t encourage consumption of resources, and has large and heavy different philosophy in environment and others, namenly cars (see Cuba about).
You might judge this "disfunctional", and also in other terrain.

The Celtic Empire is not at all "western" in the usual sense. We've resisted Roman and Germanic influence for millennia.
