* The Zeměvčel people rarely ever say no when someone requests something from them. Uvidíme and można (We will see, and Maybe respectively) are common responses to being invited to a party, or being asked to help fix someone's cart. The Zeměvčel people like keeping their options open, and never fully committing to something so they can't be blamed if they don't show up.

* Self ~~determination~~ within the family home is very important for the Zeměvčel people. While specialist carpenters exist, most Zeměvčel family homes are built by members of their own family. For most problems, the Zeměvčel people usually rely on themselves first before asking for help from friends, before finally swallowing their pride and asking their liege-lord for assistance. This comes from a long history of neglect by the Wirtem/Leutz lords who often disregarded the state of their tenant farms, and let the peasants resolve their problems themselves.

* The Zeměvčel people often speak with a comedic modesty about things. For example, the largest mountains around Osteiermark are called the Genevaud Alps, massive mountains. The Zeměvčel people refer to a particular region north as Praag as the Praag Alps, disregarding the fact that it is just a small hill. Similarly, they would refer to a bag of coins as a Treasury or gold hoard, or a single ham sandwich as a feast. This is mostly a rejection movement of the self-styled exceptionalism elsewhere across the Empire, with Zeměvčel people preferring to "be normal, you're already crazy/unique enough as you are).

* Every family has their own brand of Yoghurt. Every household knows how to make Yoghurt. The Zeměvčel people are not particularly known for their Yoghurt like the Aetosians are, but the common presence of Yoghurt is unique about them.
