==Entomology==

The area that makes up the modern day of Fiannria has been referred to several names over the centuries. The Adonerii and the earliest recorded name referred to the region was called Gallia. Referring to the celtic name for 'powerful people'. It later was referred to as Culmannia, to refer to the Levantine Kingdom ruled by King Culmann. As time went on, the Princedoms of the Holy Levantine Empire referred to themselves as the Princes/Princdoms of Culmannia, which in their languages became shortened to Culfras, originating from the Gothic word Furst for Prince.

Fiannria was first coined during the League of Culfras era as a proposal for a new united state as the realm of the free hunters in Faeskt. This caught on as an identity and name for the new Commonwealth during the Constitutional Tyn which formed the Commonwealth as a name and identity not given by foreign princes and not ruled by aristocrats.

==History==

Most of Fiannan history is referred to the region and peoples that make up Fiannria today. In the past, the region now known as Fiannria was called by many names, most prevalent being Gaullia and Culfra or the Culfras. The history of Fiannria as a unified state goes back to 1571 with the founding of the United Kingdom of the Culfras. However, history of Culfras and by extension Fiannria as a identifiable political entity goes back even further.

The Commonwealth's landmass can be divided to around 43% devoted to agriculture or pastures, 31% consists of forests, 15% is urban areas, 6% consist of wetlands, and around 5% is among miscellaneous other uses. This land does not consist of mountainous unusable terrain.

According to the National Forest Inventory, beeches, oaks, and other deciduous trees constitute just over 40% of the forests; roughly 60% are conifers, particularly spruce and pine. There are many species of ferns, flowers, fungi, and mosses. Wild animals include roe deer, wild boar, mouflon (a subspecies of wild sheep), fox, badger, hare, and a small number of beaver.

The 2020 Census counted the population of Fiannria as at 440,570,829, and faces an annual growth rate around 0.8% but that rate continues to slow as Fiannan cities and settlements become denser. Much of modern growth in Fiannria is enjoyed from its immigrants from across the Levantine Union and beyond while at the same time, plenty of Fiannrians also have been taking the opportunity to current prosperity to travel to other countries, centered around Alshar through Soirwind and the Charter Cities, they also have been migrating through the LU and friendly nations around the globe.

===Population===

The concept of ethnicity and national identity is very different in Fiannria compared to many nations in Levantia. In the Fiannrian Consititution and in writings about the region going back to the early middle ages, has referred to the region as a ~~plurinational~~ or multiethnic state, consisting of the peoples of Fiannria. The shared identity of Fiannria acts more as a supraethnicity than any true nationality, which are localised and recognized by the Fiannan government.

===Language===

Since the times of the Kingdom of Culfras, language proved to be a difficult measure to unify the Commonwealth. While the era of Culfran Kings working to learn the language of the many parts of the Kingdom for when court was held there is long past, efforts to maintain unity through language has not. Since the the thirteenth century, the Gallbraedic creole language made of the Vithic Goths and Fhasen Celts called Faeskt developed into the common tongue of the coastal lands around Brídhavn that began to be spoken in the Tyns held in the city.

Initially promoted as a common tongue during the League of Culfras, Faeskt was adopted as a common language for the Commonwealth as well, though not without difficulty as it was promoted to bridge the language divide.

In modern times, most media, at least nationally, is written and spoken in Faeskt, as well as politicians in Brídhavn, Faeskt is the primary language in the military hierarchy as well. This led most Fiannans to at minimum speak bilingually from a fairly early age as classes to teach Faeskt along with the primary tongue of their state.

===Religion===

While legally speaking, the Fiannan Commonwealth does not grant special privileges or legal advantages as an expression of favoritism of Catholicism within the Commonwealth. This does not mean it is widely present in the social and and cultural fabric, widespread Catholic institutions such as Catholic schools and hospitals along with cultural traditions such as Christmas, Easter, and Shrovetide make it widely present in everyday life, and also leads to a very involved Catholic church and those who promote Catholic social teaching within the political process.
