The Kandans have historically been associated with the Archepiscopal Church of Kiravia, which was born of a complicated (and still poorly understood) schism that separated the Archdiocese of Evira from the wider Coscivian Orthodox Church. Affiliation with the Archepiscopal Church is an important marker of Kandan identity, and Archepiscopal parishes form the nexi of many Kandan communities, though the denomination is multi-ethnic and a significant minority of Kandans remain Coscivian Orthodox or have converted to Roman Catholicism. Most Kandans also practice the Coscivian religions of Ruricanism or Iduanism to some extent. | The Kandans have historically been associated with the Archepiscopal Church of Kiravia, which was born of a complicated (and still poorly understood) schism that separated the Archdiocese of Evira from the wider Coscivian Orthodox Church.

The '''Kerēgulans''' are a seafaring Coscivian people native to Kiygrava and northern Niyaska. Closely related to the Sedhan Coscivians, they have historically been influential in navigation, commerce, exploration, and (specifically naval) warfare. | |||
The customary leader of the Kerēgulan people is the Speaker of the Houses, who is normally elected by the leaders of the seven Kerēgulan clans every 48 months. | |||
In modern times Kerēgulans belong to the Coscivian Catholic Church but also maintain Læstorian rites and traditions. | |||
One of the earliest {{wp|joint-stock company|joint stock corporations}}, the Company of Kerēgulan Merchants of the Tropics, was formed by the family-owned Kerēgulan mercantile houses of Saar-Niyaska and Sardēmur Island to engage in the {{wp|spice trade}} in southeast Crona, Cartadania, and the Loa Archipelago. The company still exists today as the [[Kerēgulan Merchants of the Tropics|KMT Group]], a diversified conglomerate based in [[Pribraltar]] and [[Saar-Niyaska]]. | |||
