Culture

Bakyern is ethnically diverse, with a divide between ethnic groups especially around the borders of foreign bordering countries. The current dominating and majority ethnic group are Bakyernians. The majority of east Bakyern is inhabited by Germanic ethnic groups and Bakyernians while in the south and west ethnicity becomes more diverse.

Religion

The majority religion in Bakyern as of currently is Samiism, a culture which has originated from Aleni. While an obvious majority of the population is Samiist, Roman Catholicism comes in close with a difference of less than 13%. Bakyern does not practice an official religion due to ethnic diversity and religious diversity, but have shown more favor towards Weudalism, a native religion, for symbolism (such as the raccoon as national animal.)

Earlier in the 20th Century, Weudalism used to be the majority and ruling religion in Bakyern, but this has changed in favor of Samiism especially during a time period in the 50's.

Popular Media

Entertainment

Entertainment in Bakyern is heavily driven towards television and the internet. The current most watched broadcasting channel is the KW Network with SaatTV right behind. The majority of Bak entertainment is animated rather than live-action, due to producers considering animation to be more effective and cheaper than live-action. For this reason, an obvious majority of movies and TV shows in Bakyern are animated rather than live-action. A clear majority of films in Bakyern aren't political and aren't supposed to be nationalist but critics have noticed the undertone of nationalism, anti-socialism, and pro-Wenelism.

Literature

Literature has been an important part of Bak media, with many Bakyernian literature being infamous and known. Many pieces of Bak literature have included drama, war, politics, and poetry. Bak literature had a lot of popularity outside of Bakyern during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century as Bakyern begun to open up more to the world. A lot of Bak literature had to do with particulary politics and philosophy, which became a breeding ground for Bak ideologies such as Wenelism and Lauterbachism.
