Culture in Kuboia

This article is about the culture of Kuboia.

Crime
In Fahrbahnin, there were 175 reports of incidents involving knife crime and a further 73 involving guns in 2014 alone.

Carrying knives and guns is legal in Kuboia, something that is illegal in Jetania. This has caused significant controversy, as there have been several reports of both Kuboian and Jetanie citizens exploiting this law.

According to statistics, approximately half of crimes reported in the country involve immigrants.

Ethnic identification
Since the early 1990's, it is frequently debated about whether lightskinned Kuboians should be identified as "white" people, as Kuboia have a large mixture of different origins in them, mostly British, German and Dutch. However, since the early 2000's, it has generally been agreed that Kuboians are not considered "white", as their lightskinned colour is mixed between Indigenous Europeans and White Germanic Europeans. Their skin colour gets easily confused with Hispanics and Latinos, including biracials that have Indian ancestry.

Fashion
Fashion is fairly generic and limited in Kuboia, often being joked as being the "bland" country internationally. This is often linked to the introduction of Hey You! in the early 1990's, which is notorious for their cheap and limited selection of clothing and shoes.

Film
Kuboia is where two different styles of television and film animation, Fahrmation and Kantasy, were created. A selection of Kantasy shows received a cult following throughout the 1990's and 2000's.
