Most ''Ilánoviem'' trace their Coscivian ancestry to colonists from the Éorsan provinces of Ièrledan, Kaltedan, Triśedan, Lusedan, Vèuska, and Armaka, with a comparatively small but conspicuous number bearing surnames brought to the island by Costiatem and North Peninsular Coscivian mariners. | Most ''Ilánoviem'' trace their Coscivian ancestry to colonists from the Éorsan provinces of Ièrledan, Kaltedan, Triśedan, Lusedan, Vèuska, and Armaka, with a comparatively small but conspicuous number bearing surnames brought to the island by Costiatem and North Peninsular Coscivian mariners. | ||

The ethnically Burgundine, Fanerian, Tryhstian, and Lebhan-speaking Urcean neighbourhoods in Steredden all date back centuries and are considered important pillars of the capital city's community. The island has been far less welcoming towards Germanic-speaking travellers from the North: Like Meridia and many states on the northern coast of Great Kirav, numerous localities in Ilánova still have (rarely invoked) laws on the books mandating that able-bodied male residents kill ''héluvya'' ("Welutes") on sight, as a legacy of the Cromwelute Wars. As late as the 21150s, visitors to the island from [[Helvianir]] and even parts of [[Crona]] were only permitted to disembark in Steredden and were prohibited from venturing outside of the city limits or even into many residential areas of the city itself. Anti-Saxon sentiment is even more pronounced in Ilánova than in the Federacy at large. To this day no public school on the island has ever offered instruction in English, and the town of Mullgrév in County Baltimore is home to one of the largest and most terrifying ''[[Cromwelute Wars#Legacy|Sāxna Būraktorsk Gromhélulya]]'' celebrations in all of Kiravia. | ||
Reflecting the mostly Gaelic and Ĥeldican Coscivian ancestry of its population, Ilánova is predominantly [[Insular Apostolic Church|Insular Apostolic]] in terms of religious affiliation. Roman Catholicism is the second-largest religion on the island, followed by Coscivian Orthodoxy. Smaller, but visible populations adhere to the Ancient Celtic Church, Ruricanism, Mercantile Protestantism, Vāxism, Reformed Orthodoxy/Theophilianism, Methodism, and Archepiscopalianism. Feasts and observances of the Apostolic Church - most notably St. Patrick's Day, St. Brendan's Day, St. Bran's Day, Michaelmas, and All Souls' Day which are all public holidays in the state - are an important fixture of the state's culture, and are widely celebrated in various capacities by Ilánovans of other sectarian backgrounds. | Reflecting the mostly Gaelic and Ĥeldican Coscivian ancestry of its population, Ilánova is predominantly [[Insular Apostolic Church|Insular Apostolic]] in terms of religious affiliation.
