Culture

The culture of modern Zacapican is a complex blend of many indigenous traditions with a myriad of external influences brought in during the centuries of colonial rule in Malaio as well through immigration from all six continents of the world. The era of Aztapamatlan was marked by centuries of internal peace, interconnectivity and prosperity which set in motion the process of widespread cultural exchange between the dozens of conquered nations of southern Oxidentale as well as the intercontinental exchange with the subject peoples of southern Malaio. After two decades of civil war, revolutionary Zacapican saw its ancient cultures thrust into a modern an interconnected world as the nation was rapidly industrialized and opened up to immigration and trade from all across the world. Millions of people migrated to Zacapican, arriving in the ports of Angatahuaca, Quitzapatzaro, Tecolotlan and Amegatlan. Many would remain there, while many more would migrate to the smaller cities and towns across the country, settling and intermingling with the native populations and with one another. At the same time, a wave of urbanization swept the country and further millions of indigenous Zacapines migrated from their homelands in the interior to the bustling urban centers along the coasts and in the Zacaco valley. Cities like Angatahuaca, Tequitinitlan and Quitzapatzaro became multicultural melting pots where immigrant and native alike did business, exchanged traditions and intermarried, creating an increasingly multiracial and culturally blended population over the generations.
