Health

The main health issue among the Anbirese (like in many Etalocian and Cualuavian nations) is considered to be the suicide rate. Traditional Etalocian culture is quite harsh on failure or nonconformity, even though it espoused nonviolence.

Culture

Cuisine

Anbirese cuisine is traditionally based around bread and pastas made from wheat. Plant protein (often made into blocks) is common, but are often supplemented by animal products such as dairy products, fish, shellfish, meat, or insects (by people who eat them). Flavoring agents are traditionally mushrooms and seaweeds used for their umaminess, as well as fruits, berries and their wine for sweetness; imported spices such as Nurian lenkah (chili), suoniah and maggiū from southern Etalocin were historically greatly valued. Some fat sources are nuts, butter, or fatty fruits such as the ymnahd, which are often used for sauces.

50% of the population surveyed (2676) adhere to some form of veganism or various forms of vegetarianism (Eevo: trovið). Vegetarianism is somewhat more common among women and people of high SES.

Music

Many classical composers of Talma were Amphirese, for example Intar Foltatz, Coscy Sivy, Rochth Scutzis, and [Kawęn Jyawŋadę].

Literature

The Amphirese national epic is Bythnechyth i ŋlouinr (Bethnaiġiḋ na ŋluain), a Tigol epic translated into Amphirese by Grouid.

The religious leader Grouid wrote some poetry, which was popularized by the printing press.

The post-Revolution period saw an explosion in original Amphirese literature and translations into Amphirese.
