The Federal Cultural Integration Program (FCIP) is a cultural initiative established by the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie in 1732 AN as part of Premier Marissa Santini's legislative agenda. Administered by the Department of Education, Sports, and Culture, the program promotes national cohesion through arts festivals, educational exchanges, and multilingual media projects across the Federation's twelve Regions. Its flagship initiatives include the annual National Unity Festival, the Harmonious Tapestry Festival, the Regional Exchange Program for students and educators, and the Multilingual Media Initiative which produces content in Alexandrian, Wechua, Martino, Wakara, and other regional languages.
Since its inception, the FCIP has organized over 2,800 cultural events reaching an estimated 130 million citizens, while facilitating educational exchanges for more than 180,000 students. The program has garnered both praise and criticism, with supporters citing its role in fostering national identity after the Spring Crisis of 1739, while critics from the Alliance for a Just Nouvelle Alexandrie argue it risks homogenizing the Federation's diverse cultural landscape. Despite these concerns, the FCIP has maintained broad public support, with polling indicating 78% approval ratings as of 1744 AN. The program operates with an annual budget of NAX€ 3.8 billion and maintains offices in all Regional capitals, coordinating with local cultural institutions to develop programming responsive to regional identities while promoting cross-cultural understanding.
