===Ethnic groups===

In Lucrecia, there are two main ethnic groups: the [[Emeritans]] and the [[Lucrecio-Isurians]]. The Emeritans are the direct descendants of the [[Latinic people]] of the [[Adonerum]] who have settled on the island that would become the [[Emeritan Republic]]. The Lucrecio-Isurians are the direct descendants of [[Isurians|Isurian]] settlers who came from mainland Sarpedon to settle the island upon which the [[Isurian Generality]] was established.

In Lucrecia, there are two main ethnic groups: the [[Emeritans]] and the [[Lucrecio-Isurians]]. The Emeritans are the direct descendants of the [[Latinic people]] of the [[Adonerum]] who have settled on the island that would become the [[Emeritan Republic]], and make up the second-largest ethnic group in the country. The Lucrecio-Isurians are the direct descendants of [[Isurians|Isurian]] settlers who came from mainland Sarpedon to settle the island upon which the [[Isurian Generality]] was established, and make up the largest ethnic group in the country. These two groups comprise almost three-quarters of the population of Lucrecia (39.8% Lucrecio-Isurians; 32.7% Emeritans). The next two largest ethnic groups are the [[Pelaxians]] and [[Delepasians]], related to both the Emeritans and the Lucrecio-Isurians, but have had differing origins from them; they make up just under twenty percent of the population; 9.1% being Pelaxian, and 8.3% being Delepasian. Lucrecia is also home to a sizeable Latin minority, the last remaining descendants of the Adonerii who have not been pelaxianised; they are often referred to as the "Old Emeritans" in reference to uninterrupted Latinic heritage, and make up nearly seven percent of the population. The remaining three-and-a-half percent of the population belong to other ethnic groups that are not listed separately due to having numbers that are too negligible to warrant their own category.

{{main|Catholic Church in Lucrecia|Neo-Caphiricism|Religion in Lucrecia}}

Lucrecia, like much of [[Sarpedon]], is a nation a majority of its people ~~ahering~~ to a denomination of Christianity. The vast majority of the nation's Christian population are a part of the [[Catholic Church]], with a vast majority being a part of the [[Caphiric Catholic Church]] which is a {{wp|particular church}} in communion with the [[Pope]] in [[Urceopolis]]. Historically, and even to this day, Lucrecia is one of the few nations in Sarpedon in which the Caphiric Catholic Church is the majority faith, although the years of [[Pelaxia|Pelaxian]] suzerainty has given the Caphiric Church in Lucrecia a distinct Levantine character; it should be noted that since 1924 there exists a movement within the Catholic clergy of Lucrecia aimed at de-Levantising the Church and returning it to its Caphiric roots, this is known as [[neo-Caphiricism]]. A very slim minority of Christians are members of denominations that are not in communion with the Pope, essentially forms of {{wp|Protestantism}} for the most part. The next-highest group are people who identify as {{wp|irreligion|irreligious}}, people who hold no religious beliefs or practices whether out of disinterest or an active rejection of faith. The final group are religions that do not fit within either category, most often associated with the nation's minorities
