Culture
"Adianterrassian" is a nationality but not always an ethnicity and has remained that way since the beginning of the country. Many different ethnicities coexist in the nation and around 23.7% do not identify as "Adianterrassian". In the south, a large population identify as "Irish" and have their own culture, language and customs. In Núrdoileann, around 48% percent of the inhabitants identify as "Icelandic" or "Danish" and share the same differences as the people of Irish heritage. Due to the size and sparseness of parts of the country, these different ethnic groups have been able to live in the same country but keep their own culture, separated from the others. It was only after independence that the Adianterrassian Government promoted the mixture of the different groups to "benefit the nation".

Cuisine
For most of the time before Independence, the cuisine changed between each island or region or valley you visited. Each ethnicity had their own distinct cuisine, including elements of the country of heritage. After Independence, due to better connections across the country as well as globalism, increased trade and immigration, Adianterrassian cuisine is much more diverse. Most of the cuisine is still made up of fairly simple staple dishes such as Gorkjjíkäks, Spozjael, Keann an Daúl Stew, Danglö Potatoes and of course Danglö Cake. Many of the dishes incorporate the national fruit, "Danglö" into the meal for added flavour. For beverages, alcoholic drinks such as Guinness, Beer, and Whiskey are extremely popular and all 3 have variants made in the country. Danglö Cider is still considered the national drink and a soft version, "Danglö-Up!" is very popular among children.

Sport
Although the most popular sports are rugby and football (soccer), the most renowned sport is Ice Hurling, simply the Irish sport, Hurling, played on ice. Adianterras plays in the 8 Nations Rugby Tournament and has reigned victorious on many occasions. The country also plays lots of football and has a national team but with limited success in recent years, failing to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in 2017. Despite this, the nation team managed to win the UEFA Euro 2008, beating Spain to victory and UEFA Euro 1988, beating the Netherlands.

Media
Most media in Adianterras is star funded, including the main TV station, AET. It is run predominately for the Adianterrassian Ministry of Telecommunications and Media.

Television
In addition to AET, there are also Irish-speaking, Icelandic-speaking and English-speaking TV stations; named ATG, ISA and ABS respectively. Despite these, Adianterrassian-speaking stations are by far the most notable and receive the highest ratings due to most of the population speaking Adianterrassian. However, ATG, ISA and ABS are all included in most TV packages around the nation.
