The end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] brought many disparate ethnic groups and former slaves in [[Varshan]] under Urcean political control, and many of these groups sought new lives elsewhere. After significant deliberation and negotiation with the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#Mixcala|Mixcala]], the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#Weluta-New_Mixcala|Condominium of Weluta-New Mixcala]] was opened to settlers from eastern Crona and Varshan, largely supplanting intended Levantine colonial settlement there. | |||

New Harren, as a [[Benefactor confederacy|benefactor confederacy]], consists of several indigenous polities, tribes, cities, and the primarily [[Occidental]] Rectory of New Harren under the loose executive presidency of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] and his Governor-General in his stead, who the King directly nominates and submits for the approval of the [[Concilium Daoni]] of [[Urcea]]. The Kingdom functioned without a constitution until the conclusion of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. [[Riordan VIII|Riordan I]] in his capacity as King, in consultation with the constituent parts of the Kingdom, issued the Statutory Charter of [[2024]]. The Charter replaced a series of individual treaty relationships between the Crown and constituent nations with a constitutional structure wherein the constituents retained a large amount of rights and autonomy. Accordingly, the Kingdom of the Confederation of New Harren is largely characterized by its confederate nature. | New Harren, as a [[Benefactor confederacy|benefactor confederacy]], consists of several indigenous polities, tribes, cities, and the primarily [[Occidental]] Rectory of New Harren under the loose executive presidency of the [[Apostolic King of Urcea]] and his Governor-General in his stead, who the King directly nominates and submits for the approval of the [[Concilium Daoni]] of [[Urcea]].

Due to the presence of Levantine-descendants throughout the country the majority language of New Harren is [[Julian Ænglish]], which is not only spoken as a first language by a majority of residents but is also used as a {{wp|lingua franca}} by the constituent nationalities of the Kingdom, both in communication with Levantine-descendants and with eachother. Accordingly, Julian Ænglish is spoken on a daily basis by the vast majority of residents of the realm, but it is the first language of only a small majority of residents, almost all of whom are Levantine-descendant or ethnic [[Nysdrine people|Nysdrines]]. | |||
Scholars believe hundreds of languages are spoken as a first language within New Harren. Each of the seven primary constituent groups of the Kingdom speak their own language, and many of them have sizable minority dialects or no official language at all. Among the Free Cities and Tribes, dozens of languages are spoken. Within the Condominium of Weluta-New Mixcala, the native [[List_of_peoples_of_Cusinaut#Q-T|Tepetlcali]] language is still widely spoken, but many settlers from across [[Cusinaut]] and even some from occupied [[Varshan]] have greatly increased the number of languages being spoken. Even within the [[Constituent_states_of_New_Harren#New_Harren|Rectory of New Harren]], many Occidental immigrants retain their language in addition to Julian Ænglish, making the Kingdom as a whole one of the most linguistically diverse countries on earth. | |||
