Volkian culture is an amalgamation of the cultures of four western Iturian lupine tribes that inhabited Volkia: the [[Volkiplemeni]], [[Yekarians]], [[Vyalovians]], and [[Orlikians]]. Volkiplemeni culture was the most dominant, thus many aspects of Volkian culture are directly taken from the Volkiplemeni.

Volkian cuisine widely uses meats, breads, vegetables, spices, and pastas. Diversity in Volkian cuisine is high, and usually varies from region to region, though provincial differences also exist. However, thanks to the country unifying and the easing of movement between provinces, many foods spreading across the country. Foods that are "heavy" are common, though "lighter" meals do exist. Flavorful soups and stews include shchi, borsch, ukha, solyanka and okroshka. Smetana (a heavy sour cream) is often added to soups and salads. Pirozhki, blini and syrniki are native types of pancakes. Steaks and chicken breasts are popular centerpieces for meat dishes.
Volkian people drink a variety of drinks, ranging from water to coffee. Sweet tea, known as ''sladkiy chay'', is an incredibly popular drink. It's ranked as a favorite drink of the populace, followed by water, coffee, and soda. The country also produces a variety of alcohol including vodka and beer, the top two favorite alcoholic drinks.
