The Culture of Kaanryhiya is deeply rooted in it's history. Or what was left of it after the War of Desolation. The Government of Kaanryhiya is modeled after the Government of the Empire of Byztramus when Kaanryhiya was divided.

The citizens prefer Traditional Methods. But Modernization is essential for the Survival of Kaanryhiya.

The citizens value Order, Glory, and Honor. Most people practices Kainolohiya with full faith and confidence. That the people believes it is blasphemy to denounce Kain or not believe in him at all. The Citizens view the Emperor as the divine representative of Kain, even though the Emperor has stated in so many instances that he is just a Man, a leader, and the representative of the people not only Kain. The city of Trayzonn and all it's citizens practice Order so much that they are called the city of Order. And due to that most Centers of Authority relocated to Trayzonn.

Games of Athleticism are conducted during holidays or weekends. These games are mostly related to hunting or combat. Only in Gazkaman is there an Arena where Gladiatorial Battles Occur. Gladiatorial battles are fought with traditional weapons such as Swords, Daggers, Slings, Maces, Spears, Axes, Bows, and rarely Ancient Mana Manipulation (Which was lost in history). Anyone is allowed to participate in the Battles. Some Fight for Fame and Glory, Some are prisoners that volunteered for a chance of freedom, and some fight to vent their frustrations and anger or for simply for fun. Winners can be awarded by the Emperor Himself.

The Architecture of Kaanryhiya emphasizes in the beauty of symmetry and patterns, most buildings has balconies to view the night sky. Buildings of worship and Cultural purpose often tend to be designed in a grand scale instead of simplicity and often creates complex designs.

The Arts of Kaanryhiya like painting usually depicts Realism or Daily Life. Pottery displays major Battles or Catastrophes. Masonry shows the complexity of it's subject. Literature and Poetry usually depicts the social norms or the status quo, where others challenge the views of them.

The Music of Kaanryhiya are often an Orchestra of instruments where they are played with theatres, usually along with plays. Solo Musicians are not as popular as Orchestra but can be famous with enough skill and recognition. Orbisian Music is slowly getting integrated to the norms of Music in Kaanryhiya.
