Culture
With only eight clubs, every major city or region of Eisenreich feels heavily represented in the EPL. The league is one of the few occasions where Eisenreich’s fractured social classes—nobles, workers, merchants, and clergy—come together under a common cultural banner.
Matchdays are treated as mini-festivals, often featuring marching bands, banners, and ceremonies. State propaganda is also intertwined with club culture, particularly in the capital Neu Bakkenburg.
