The ''Kotakoskix''-''Farakoskix'' distinction remains familiar to contemporary Æonarans, has faded from social salience in recent decades, superseded in most respects by the distinction between the established Æonaran Coscivian, Umcaran Coscivian, and Empire Loyalist communities (representing a mix of Land Coscivians and Sea Coscivians) on one hand and the "Mainlander" community of Sunderance and post-reunification immigrants (overwhelmingly Sea Coscivians) on the other.
