The ethnic groups prior to the Sarpo-Levantine peoples arrived in Levantia prior to the {{wp|Last Glacial Period}}, consisting on a large number of migratory tribes, many of whom are no longer extant. Of these, the Fenni in the modern Vandarch and the Orenstians in eastern Levantia are the most well-known.

Gaelic peoples occupied a territory approximately coterminous with the modern [[Levantine Union]] and northern [[Ultmar]] circa 2000 BC and were the largest group on the continent, having erased the Fenni peoples in the southern Vandarch Basin and intermingled with them in northern [[Ultmar]]. Gothic tribes primarily occupied southwestern Levantia in more dense population centers. [[Istroya|Istroyan people]] settled small cities on the southeastern coast of the continent but evidently did not scout or explore much of the continent, while [[Coscivians]] similarly settles along the northwest coastline and travelled inland around the Vandarch and as far south as some Istroyan colonies seeking trade routes.

The arrival of [[Latinic people]] in the millennium BC inaugurated Levantia into the [[Occident|Occidental world]] and dramatically changed the human landscape of the continent, as a population explosion of Latins into Levantia lead to the creation of the empire of [[Great Levantia]] (not to be confused with Greater Levantia) and laid the foundations for much of [[Catholic Levantia]] as understood today. As a result, many (primarily Gaelic) peoples were either enslaved, enthralled as vassal peoples, or erased by Latin conquerors, who would intermarry with their subject peoples to create the many modern Romance cultures of the southern and central continent. Large segments of Great Levantia were overrun by Gothic people from the 3rd to 6th centuries AD, creating many of the modern cultural boundaries that presently exist in Levantia.

Of the smaller ethnic groups in Levantia, the Orenstians are by far the largest non-Occidental group, and are characterized by their unique language. Several other minorities, namely the [[Khunyer]], who migrated to modern [[Hendalarsk]] in the middle ages, are descended from Orenstian migrants and posses status as a recognized minority with official language status. Other minority groups include [[Gassavelian people|Gassavelians]], [[Urom]], [[Caenish people|Caens]], [[Coscivians]] and [[Garán people|Garánii]].

Levantia is the world's most prosperous continent. It is home to the [[Levantine Union]], the world's most powerful joint economy including [[Urcea]], which has the world's highest {{wp|gross domestic product}} as well as several other high-income developed nations. Most countries in Levantia - and especially in the southern portion of the continent - are considered highly developed, with strong tertiary and quaternary sectors and high standards of living. Levantine economic strength has been bolstered by continental and regional integration under [[Levantine Union]] trade agreements and the [[KATI]] free trade zone.
