# The Fundamentals of Culture Crafting

A culture’s growth and long-term viability are dependent on only four variables:

- **Cultural Adoption:** The rate at which new adherents are converted
- **Birth Rate:** The rate at which members have children
- **Cultural Fidelity:** The probability someone raised within the culture will stay within it
- **Death Rate:** The rate at which members die

Before digging into these four variables, let’s explore how they interact.

**The Cultural Growth Formula**

Relative Cultural Growth Rate =
(Relative Birth Rate – Relative Death Rate) * (Cultural Adoption) * (Cultural Fidelity #0-1)
