The divided Angle duchies underwent a major population boom in the late 18th century, and by the 1780s the population of the area had recovered to its pre-[[Nordmontaine War]] levels. Long subject of [[Ænglophobia]], the Angle duchies also underwent an increase of political relevance during the late 18th and 19th centuries. They collaborated closely with [[Urcea]] on the construction of the [[Carolina-Grand Canal]], which economically rejuvenated the area, especially around [[Lake Roseney]], which became a main thoroughfare for the Canal. As a result of the Canal, the Lake area became the most densely populated in Anglei as early industrial cities were established and grew on its shores. | The divided Angle duchies underwent a major population boom in the late 18th century, and by the 1780s the population of the area had recovered to its pre-[[Nordmontaine War]] levels.

The Constitution also provided for a limited framework of {{wp|freedom of religion}} for [[College_of_Levantine_Churches#Old_Believers|Old Believers]], representing the first legal concession to Ænglish Protestants since the destruction of the Ænglish Church in [[1545]]. The Constitution established the [[Catholic Church]] as the state religion of Anglei, but provided that all "non-juring groups...are afforded the right, subject to the regulation of the state, for free worship according to their own conscience". The "regulation of the state" allowed for limitations to be placed on Old Believers. From 1890 until the establishment of the [[College_of_Levantine_Churches#Episcopal_Congregation_of_the_Fraternal_Church|Collegiate Fraternal Church]] in [[1974]], Old Believers were limited to twenty five congregations across the country, and all constructions or alterations of worship structures were required to have state approval. Only one bishopric - the Bishop of Stretton - was authorized to be created. As a holdover from the [[Treaty of Lariana]], a public official was required to be in attendance for every worship service, although by the [[1920]]s this regulation was effectively bypassed by most local governments, who would retain an Old Believer nominally on the books who would attend their regular worship services on behalf of the state. Regardless of the limitations, the legalization had the intended effect, bringing many Old Believers back to Anglei from [[Dericania]] or abroad and also creating legal citizens of many former outcasts and underground Protestants. | |||

The establishment of a unified nation encouraged many nation-building and cultural revival projects, such as the attempted creation of [[Blairian Ænglish]] as a replacement for the commonly used [[Julian Ænglish]]. | The establishment of a unified nation encouraged many nation-building and cultural revival projects, such as the attempted creation of [[Blairian Ænglish]] as a replacement for the commonly used [[Julian Ænglish]]. | ||

The occupation inaugurated a short period of diplomatic isolation during the [[Second Great War]], but at the end of the conflict the country reestablished relations with its Levantine neighbors. It was a founding member of the [[Levantine Union]]. Despite its Levantine Union membership, Anglei remained largely neutral during the [[Occidental Cold War]]. It took part in the international coalition against [[Varshan]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]], contributing forces to both the [[Quetzenkel front]], [[Cetsencalia front]] and the [[Ehemoan front]] following the [[Atomic bombing of Zakan Rot]]. On the Quetzenkel front, Anglei launched the controversial and ultimately disastrous [[Quetzenkel_front#Cobalt_campaign_and_relief_efforts|Cobalt campaign]], the worst military defeat by an Ænglish state since the [[Nordmontaine War]]. The enormous loss of life during the campaign lead to a national identity crisis and inaugurated a period of military reform and increased outward facing identity, as many Ænglish interpreted the loss as being attributable to an outdated military and political mindset. After the end of the war, Anglei joined the [[Levantine_Union#Global_Defense_Corollary|Global Defense Corollary]] of the Levantine Union. | The occupation inaugurated a short period of diplomatic isolation during the [[Second Great War]], but at the end of the conflict the country reestablished relations with its Levantine neighbors.
