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]]. | Dual identity is a sociological phenomenon prevalent among the groups of people who were subject to "late" Urceanization.

====Limitations==== | |||
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. | |||
Efforts intended to accelerate the incorporation of [[Ænglish people]] within the Urcean identity following the incorporation of [[Ænglasmarch]] only met limited success, in part due to the persistent existence of the Ænglish people outside of [[Urcea]] in what would become [[Anglei]] as well as a lasting legacy on the culture of [[Hollona and Diorisia]]. Accordingly, residents of Ænglasmarch are divided among those who have retained their identity and those who have partly integrated into Urcean identity, a group known as [[Anglean people|Angleans]]. The Ænglish-Anglean difference is a major cultural and political dividing line in Ænglasmarch. | |||
