Overview
The Empire is a mix of cultures, mostly from it's member races, but also from it's allies as well, however there a general culture within the Empire. Military and martial prowess and pride are a huge part of it with every citizen of age being given military training and considered part of the reserved forces. The main focus is on balance between loyalty to oneself and the Empire, with very little in the way of extreme conservative or liberal views most being fairly moderate. The architecture and general style is a strange mix of industrial and gothic. There is large variety and great appreciation for the arts and in general a very accepting attitude toward differences. Genetic and cybernetic enhancements are very common and available for every citizen who follows the law and works hard to make use of.

Living Arrangement
Life in the Vanara Empire is generally divided into three groups, city dwelling, wilderness dwelling, orbital and deep space instillation dwelling, and void faring. City dwelling citizens live in communal apartments with their families inside large apartment complexes in heavily interconnected cities. Wilderness dwellers live out in the wilds tending to live stock and crops, they are often semi-nomadic wandering thought the year through a specific area. Orbital and deep space instillation dwellers live in situations very similar to city dwellers, but in orbit or deep space. Void Faring citizens live in fleets of ships wandering thought Imperial territory. In general Demonica prefer city life, Verasien prefer living in orbital and deep space instillation, Boyk prefer void faring, Aranthrone prefer wilderness dwelling, and Vanara are generally an equal mix of all three.

Food
Vanara are very conservative when it comes to eating. Generally the only a small meal is eaten at the morning and a small one at lunch, with a more decent sized one for dinner. However the portions in the Empire are considered very small and lack luster by most species standards. Most of the time the meal consists of plant material and maybe some fish or poultry. Red meat is only ever eaten for special occasions. However when special occasions do come around the Vanara will throw quiet the party and feast with meat treats and sweets ever where for general stuffing of oneself. Almost all food is served raw and at meal time no one speaks being completely silent until every little morsel is finished(which it must). Things do become much more light hearted during celebrations and talking while eating is considered perfectly acceptable.

Clothing
Clothing in the Empire is wide and varied, however there is some similarities they end to bare. Most is of fairly practical design though has been noted not to leave to much up to the imagination. This is in no means an attempt to look attractive, rather simply not to impend the wearer's full rang of movement. All clothing is actually just another form of their Fold Out Armor and can be morphed back into said armor at a moments notice.

Sports
The most popular sports in the Empire are motorcycle racing and hunting.

Motorcycle racing is also a source of joy and pride, with almost every citizen owning one of the plasma engine powered bikes. Entire road ways are set aside for racing and the biggest officially sanctioned race, The Trinity Grand Prix, spans the whole of all three worldships.

Media

This frees up more hands for production, farming, research, fighting, etc while also providing entertainment. Like all AIs in the Empire, SVPs are fully self aware and treated as citizens, with all the rights of a organic being.
