|Noted for being viciously territorial, even against it's young, the Common Kingfisher was often used in the [[Holy Levantine Emipre|HLE]] as an allegory for the coastal urbanites of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]]. The concept of overseas trade was lost on the landed ignoramuses of the "inner kingdom". They could only comprehend the practice based on what they obversed in every day life, and the expelling of offspring by the Common Kingfisher seemed to match the pattern witnessed in the coastal towns and cities.

The '''Urcean people''' are a nation and ethnic group native to [[Urcea]]. The Urcean identity is of early medieval origin. Their ethnonym is derived from peoples living close to the [[Urce River]] in antiquity, referred to in [[Lebhan]] as ''Urciona''.
When the coastal states were united under the banner of [[Burgundie]] the slanderous connotation had faded and the proud nature and vicious defense of it's territory favored the national narrative of the formation of the new nation it became the national bird. The blue on the badge of the flags of [[Burgundie]] is a formulation owned by the [[Government of Burgundie|government]] and is called Bleue della Blauet.

In the same vein of bringing fortune and luck, Metzettan children were also taught that when you lose a tooth, to throw it on the roof singing a song for the magpie; the bird will hear your song and bring you a new tooth.

The Urceans largely descend from two main historical population groups – the earlier [[Latinic people]] of [[Adonerum]] and the native [[Gaelic people]] who inhabited [[Levantia]] prior to the Latinic conquest. While the [[Great Levantia]] period largely saw a degree of segregation between the politically empowered Latinic population as compared to the geographically and politically marginalized Gaelic people, there was nonetheless a degree of admixture and integration. By the time of the fall of Great Levantia, integration of the two cultures began in earnest in the Urce River valley, and by the time of [[St. Julius I]], the residents of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] and the [[Urce River]] valley were in the throes of hybridization, beginning a truly unique, Urcean culture.
|}


Besides the "core" Urcean ethnicity, sometimes called "[[The Valley (Urcea)|valley]] Urceans" in relation to their origin in the greater [[Urce River]] valley region known as [[The Valley (Urcea)|the Valley]], other ethnic groups are sometimes considered to be part of the wider Urcean identity. Most prominent among these are the [[Caenish people]] of [[Canaery]] and the southern tip of Levantia.

== Identity ==
==National flowers/plants ==
Despite global classifications of Urceans consistently placing them as among [[Latinic people]]s, and relations between [[Urcea]] and Caphiria and other states on [[Sarpedon]] are characterized by their cultural kinship, Urceans consider themselves neither Latinic or Gaelic but rather the descendants of both groups. While the concept of ''Urceanity'' derives from the cultural traditions of the country as well as the ethnic admixture of Gaels and Latins, immigrants have been known to be able to integrate into Urcean culture.

A vast majority of Urceans are divided into what are known as the [[Estates of Urcea]], kinship-and-identity groups that bind families together. Deriving from the early voting tribes of [[Great Levantia]] and the socio-political client-patron relationships within them, the Estates have 25 distinct "Latinic" Estates and 25 distinct "Gaelic" Estates, with the latter being integrated during the latter Great Levantia period as part of the process of what sociologists call ''Urceanization''. Distinctly, Urceans do not see themselves as the same Latin peoples who forged and lived within Great Levantia, instead claiming heritage both from Great Levantia and the Gaelic peoples that it conquered, seeing themselves as the direct descendants of neither but instead the product of both. In this way, Urceans view themselves as the "consummation of the whole history of [[Levantia]]" in the words of [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] scholar [[P. G. W. Gelema]].

=== Historic Urceanization ===
{| class="wikitable"
"Historic" Urceanization refers to a process which occurred beginning approximately in the 3rd century and ending in the 9th century that saw groups of [[Latinic people]] and [[Gaelic people]] living in Southern [[Levantia]] begin to form a single, albeit broad, cultural continuum that could be identified today as "Urcean". Much, though not all of this process, was accompanied by frequent intermarriage among these peoples, especially in the midst of and following the collapse of [[Great Levantia]].
|-
=== Late Urceanization ===
!Country
"Late" Urceanization refers to any continuation of the process of the growth and adaptation of Urcean identity by groups of people at any time following the 9th century. Subjects of late Urceanization tend to be groups living in Urcea's geographic periphery and ones incorporated into the country following the [[Golden Bull of 1098]]. Accordingly, these groups tend to have entirely different historical origins than the "valley Urceans" and also retain a partially separate identity. These groups - primarily the [[Caenish people|Caens]], [[Gassavelian people|Gassavelians]], and [[Garán people]]s - nonetheless view themselves as Urcean under varying models of dual identity.

====Dual identity====
!Scentific name
Dual identity is a sociological phenomenon prevalent among the groups of people who were subject to "late" Urceanization. People in these groups tend to view themselves as Urcean, both in terms of nationality as well as ethnicity, in addition to their core held ethnic view of themselves as a distinct people. While the relationship between Urcean nationality and these groups is fairly straight forward due to its long political control over their homelands, scholars and cultural observers have long been interested in what sense these groups consider themselves ethnically Urcean. The primary justification behind dual identity theory among its adherents is that, even if history separated the development of specific cultural mores and identity between the residents of the Valley and residents of the periphery, the original "ingredients" of these cultural groups are all the same. By way of example, this theory holds that a [[Gassavelian people|Gassavelian]] and a "valley Urcean" share ultimately the same origin point in ancient [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] peoples, even if the Gassavelians were later primarily influenced by people from [[Audonia]] while Valley residents were influenced by settlers from [[Adonerum]].

|In Metzetta, ''Zelkova serrata'' has been considered a symbol of protection for villages since ancient times, and can still be found planted at central points in cities, towns and villages around the country. The trees often stand next to small pavilions, serving both as shaded informal gathering points, and spaces for traditional rituals and ceremonies involving prayer and offerings to the tree. The oldest of these trees are estimated to be in excess of 1,000 years in age, and are protected as natural monuments. In 2013, a project was announced by the [[Emperor's Gardens]] to clone the zelkova trees that are identified as natural monuments, so their lineage will not be lost in case of disaster or death due to age.

Efforts by the [[Government of Urcea]] as well as cultural exchanges as part of the [[Levantine Union]] have largely failed to include people adhering to [[Derian identity]] - particularly those of Urcean nationality living in [[Transionia]] - within dual identity structure. Scholars have posited that the relative recentness of Transionia's incorporation, combined with severe ethnic tensions in and around [[Dericania]] since 1800, have made efforts at identity integration difficult.

Being a member of the [[Catholic Church]] - practicing or otherwise - is considered to be a vital part of Urcean identity, so much so that {{wp|Protestant}} and other faith Urcean nationals have assumed a completely different ethnic identity over the past five centuries known as [[Cisionian people]]. Cisionians assumed their identity not only from Urcean external views but from internal identity realization based on centuries of cultural isolation.

National birds

Country Bird name Scientific name Image Notes
 Alstin Alstinian Raven
 Burgundie Common Kingfisher Burg: Blauet ordinaire Alcedo atthis Noted for being viciously territorial, even against it's young, the Common Kingfisher was often used in the HLE as an allegory for the coastal urbanites of the Kingdom of Dericania. The concept of overseas trade was lost on the landed ignoramuses of the "inner kingdom". They could only comprehend the practice based on what they obversed in every day life, and the expelling of offspring by the Common Kingfisher seemed to match the pattern witnessed in the coastal towns and cities.

When the coastal states were united under the banner of Burgundie the slanderous connotation had faded and the proud nature and vicious defense of it's territory favored the national narrative of the formation of the new nation it became the national bird. The blue on the badge of the flags of Burgundie is a formulation owned by the government and is called Bleue della Blauet.

 Metzetta Neutinamu Zelkova serrata In Metzetta, Zelkova serrata has been considered a symbol of protection for villages since ancient times, and can still be found planted at central points in cities, towns and villages around the country. The trees often stand next to small pavilions, serving both as shaded informal gathering points, and spaces for traditional rituals and ceremonies involving prayer and offerings to the tree. The oldest of these trees are estimated to be in excess of 1,000 years in age, and are protected as natural monuments. In 2013, a project was announced by the Emperor's Gardens to clone the zelkova trees that are identified as natural monuments, so their lineage will not be lost in case of disaster or death due to age.
