The [[Bergendii]] are a unique culture, but are phenotyped as primarily Latinic. They have mixed more thoroughly with the [[Istroyan civilization|Istroyans]] and the {{wpl|Picts|Impaxi}} of southern Levantia. They have adopted the hard-nosed, stoic, and industrious dispositions. While the [[Bergendii]] reside primarily in [[Burgundie]], there are approximately 4-6 million [[Bergendii]] who live in other countries. | The [[Bergendii]] are a unique culture, but are phenotyped as primarily Latinic.

Levantine policing is known for being centralized, state-run, and overt. It is the original civilian, publicly-funded policing model but newer more localized and egalitarian have taken hold in [[Crona]] and [[Ixnay]], known as {{wpl|Peelian_principles#Policing_by_consent|policing by consent}}. Thus, by exclusion, the older, more centralized model has coined the neologism "Levantine policing". | Levantine policing is known for being centralized, state-run, and overt.

The word "police" was borrowed from the Latin word '''politia''', meaning an agent of the state or civil administration. It was first used in the modern sense in the mid 17th century in [[Urcea]], but soon spread throughout Levantia. It was often associated with political and religious policing but was also used in other sundry functions of government administration, depending on the country. The word has modernized to police in the many modern languages through its adoption in the 18th and 19th centuries. However, outside of Levantia, the word, and the concept of police itself, was disliked as a symbol of foreign oppression. | The word "police" was borrowed from the Latin word '''politia''', meaning an agent of the state or civil administration.
