Laying off the coast of mainland [[Levantia]] north of [[Ardmore]], New Armore has a predominantly [[Garán people|Garán]] heritage it shares with [[Ardmore]] and the [[Urcea|Urcean]] region of [[Carolina]], with further influences from [[Kiravia]], to which it has been politically linked for over XX years. Originating as a {{wp|rump state}} of Ardmore, the territories of New Ardmore - initially the ''Republic of Ardmore'' - became a formal protectorate of [[Kiravia]] in 19XX, with further integration establishing it as a free state under the Collectivity. | ||

Ardmore has an {{wp|Insular Celtic}} culture with noticeable traces of Pretannic influence from early in its history, shaped by local geographic and climatic conditions, the Catholic faith, and contact with [[Coscivian civilisation]] by virtue of its status as a Kiravian federal subject. The state is rather homogeneous: 88% of the population of New Ardmore are ethnic Gaels. Most of the remainder are Coscivian-Kiravians or of Levantine backgrounds other than Gaelic. Ardmorean Gaelic, which is largely though not fully mutually intelligible with the varieties spoken in the Kiravian Gaeltacht, Faneria, and Fiannria and contains many archæic and endemic features, is spoken by 85.6% of the population as a first language. Kiravic Coscivian is an auxiliary official language and is widely understood in urban areas, though most long-term Coscivian residents in the islands find it necessary to learn Gaelic to get by. | Ardmore has an {{wp|Insular Celtic}} culture with noticeable traces of Pretannic influence from early in its history, shaped by local geographic and climatic conditions, the Catholic faith, and contact with [[Coscivian civilisation]] by virtue of its status as a Kiravian federal subject.
