Description: (Describe an average city in your nation. Culture, language, currency etc.)
Cities sizes in the Lance Empire can vary, having massive metropolises or smaller villages, however the culture is always the same. The focus of the Empire is working together towards the greater good of the empire and the community. There is also extreme loyalty from all citizens towards the Emperor, where in the military it almost reaches religious devotion. The Lance culture focuses on work, so there is very few holidays, only two or three national holidays where people are off for the entire day a year. However in the more secluded corners of the Empire where a particular religion is dominate there might be as many as 3 extra days off a year for religious celebration. It also noted that there is less religion in the Lance Empire, has they tend to be progressive, and the few that do exist do to government laws are required to preach tolerance of all. Women and Men are considered equal in the Lance Empire, with both genders being seen in the same roles. The architecture can vary because of the large differences in culture around the Empire, but the most typical is wood and stone for small villages, with mostly stone and use of concrete and planks in larger cities.
The Lance Currency is in paper bills, however they are backed by a gold standard wherein that a amount of money can be taken to a bank in exchange for that amount of gold.
