Summary
Vezanese culture is heavily influenced by the long years of Vezanese dominance in world affairs. Since unification, Vezan has enjoyed almost uninterrupted control over all aspects of Jimmian life. Their language and history have overshadowed the local histories of most subordinate nations, and not without dissatisfaction among some factions around Jimmian. Venor in particular, as the latest and final addition to the modern Vezanese state, has strong resentment to all things Vezanese intruding on traditional Venorean holidays and local culture. But most people on Jimmian accept without much question the equation of being Jimmian is interchangeable with being Vezanese.
