Valosians have their own customary ruler, the King of the Valosians, who reigns as a hereditary non-territorial {{wp|popular monarchy|popular monarch}} with an important ceremonial role and close involvement in the operation of various Valosian cultural, educational, and charitable institutions. The current King is Rando the Fatass, whose (rather copious) seat is in [Place], [State]. The Valosian King pays regular tribute to the [[Marble Emperor]]. | Valosians have their own customary ruler, the King of the Valosians, who reigns as a hereditary non-territorial {{wp|popular monarchy|popular monarch}} with an important ceremonial role and close involvement in the operation of various Valosian cultural, educational, and charitable institutions.

==Culture== | |||
Valosians are devout Coscivian Orthodox Christians, though they keep certain Rurican traditions. | |||
==Ethnic Rivalries== | ==Ethnic Rivalries== | ||
Valosians are famous for their capacity to sustain centuries-old historic grudges against other ethnic groups. They most intense hatred is reserved for the Vexin Coscivians and the [[Tanstan Coscivians]], though they have come to also strongly dislike most Mainline Kiravians and pretty much anyone else they encounter. | Valosians are famous for their capacity to sustain centuries-old historic grudges against other ethnic groups. They most intense hatred is reserved for the Vexin Coscivians and the [[Tanstan Coscivians]], though they have come to also strongly dislike most Mainline Kiravians and pretty much anyone else they encounter. Valosians are dismissive of and resentful towards [[Peninsular Coscivians]], as Valosians consider themselves to be the true heirs to the ruling class and traditions of Imperial Coscivia. However, they do share close cultural ties with certain Peninsular subgroups and a common Coscivian Orthodox faith. | ||
Relations are much friendlier with the related [[Kostiatan Coscivians|Kostiatem]], [[Ardónian Coscivians|Ardóniem]], and [[Purgónian Coscivians|Purgóniem]]. | |||
==Politics== | |||
Most Valosian Coscivians are of a {{wp|traditionalism|traditionalist}} orientation and long for the restoration of historic Coscivian political institutions and ways of life dating from periods when their people were most influential. When voting, they typically support parties affiliated with the [[Caucus of Justice]], which includes several state-level Valosian minority interest parties. Many Valosians are involved in the [[Minor Kiravian Political Parties#Monarchist Party|Kiravian Monarchist Party]]. | |||
Valosian militia fought fiercely against the Bartists during the Colour Wars, and many were involved in the traditionalist wing of the anti-Kirsok resistence during Kirosocialism. | |||
==Populations== | |||
Valosian communities can be found in several regions of Kiravia, with the largest in [[Valtéra]] (whole ‘nother story about the Valtéran ones), [[Kiygrava]], [[Elegia]], [[Avidrona]], [the state between Elegia and Avidrona], and [[Kernea]], with smaller populations in [[Issyria]] (both “Issyrian Valosians” and Valtérans) and [[Devalōmara]], with some scattered communities in the Northwest. Although comparatively small in absolute numbers, the Valosian community is one of the largest Coscivian groups in the small state of [[Serikorda]]. | |||
There is also a significant Valosian community in [[Fariva]], concentrated almost entirely in [[Béyasar]] and its inner metropolitan area. | |||
