Culture
The Empire of Man proudly boasts itself as a home for all Heartlanders and Highlanders alike. Within the walls of the nation's capital, Carolustadt, is a melting pot of Waldenian, Batavian, Auvergnian, and small pockets of Raevir cultures. In particular, the nation is going through a resurgence of Waldenian culture and identity. As such, the new uniforms of the King's Renatian Legion are consistent with those of Waldenian landsknechts.
Social Organization
Notably, the citizens of Renatus-Marna are divided into five distinct social classes: The peasants, merchants and artisans, the gentry, the nobility, and the royalty.
The peasants perform much of the hard labor within Renatian-Marnatine society. They perform jobs such as farming, construction, fishing, mining, etc. They hold few privileges and rights and are heavily repressed.
The merchants and artisans are either skilled craftsmen or they sell the wares of others. They make stable income and live relatively secure lives.
The gentry are regarded as the warrior elite of Renatian-Marnantine society, the knights of the Crown. They are afforded many privileges such as governing a small fiefdom in the name of the King, taxing the populace, the right to trial by combat, and the right to bear heraldic arms. In return, they are to raise their banners should their liege call upon them.
The nobility is the established upper-class consisting of those with social birthright. Their lineages date back centuries and their name holds much weight in the Kingdom's affairs. They possess a high degree of affluence as well as privilege.
The royalty consists of the King, his consort, his heir, and the rest of his household.

The Crown of Renatus-Marna is an absolute monarchy following lateral laws of succession. The King holds paramount authority in the realm on all matters. However, the King typically maintains a privy council of close advisors, whom he may delegate many tasks to or to act in his steed.
