Despite global classifications of Urceans consistently placing them as among [[Latinic people]]s, and relations between [[Urcea]] and Caphiria are characterized by their cultural kinship, Urceans consider themselves neither Latinic or Gaelic but rather the descendants of both groups. While the concept of ''Urceanity'' derives from the cultural traditions of the country as well as the ethnic admixture of Gaels and Latins, immigrants have been known to be able to integrate into Urcean culture. | Despite global classifications of Urceans consistently placing them as among [[Latinic people]]s, and relations between [[Urcea]] and Caphiria and other states on [[Sarpedon]] are characterized by their cultural kinship, Urceans consider themselves neither Latinic or Gaelic but rather the descendants of both groups.

A vast majority of Urceans are divided into what are known as the [[Estates of Urcea]], kinship-and-identity groups that bind families together. Deriving from the early voting tribes of [[Great Levantia]] and the socio-political client-patron relationships within them, the Estates have 25 distinct "Latinic" Estates and 25 distinct "Gaelic" Estates, with the latter being integrated during the latter Great Levantia period as part of the process of what sociologists call ''Urceanization''. Distinctly, Urceans do not see themselves as the same Latin peoples who forged and lived within Great Levantia, instead claiming heritage both from Great Levantia and the Gaelic peoples that it conquered, seeing themselves as the direct descendants of neither but instead the product of both. In this way, Urceans view themselves as the "consummation of the whole history of [[Levantia]]" in the words of [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] scholar [[P. G. W. Gelema]]. | A vast majority of Urceans are divided into what are known as the [[Estates of Urcea]], kinship-and-identity groups that bind families together.
