Arcerion's history has been mostly comprised of Ænglish-speaking cultures from the Occidental world, and primarily Levantia. While Arcer citizens have developed many distinct accents and culturally distinct dialects within Ænglish, it is still recognizable as Ænglish to non-native speakers. Over 90% of Arcerion speak some form of Ænglish as its primary language, and within the nation nearly 1/3rd have a second language, reflecting Arcerion's immigrant roots. Arcerion's government uses Ænglish as its official language and it is the only mandated language that is taught in schools and legislated. In some rural parts of Arcerion, Gaelic is still spoken daily, although the amount of Arcers that are monolingual Gaels is less than 1.5%. Indigenous languages are spoken by the Indigenous permanent residents, and there is a wide variety spoken between the Washakaran Basin and the Kelekonese Border area. | Arcerion's history has been mostly comprised of Ænglish-speaking cultures from the Occidental world, and primarily Levantia.

{{bar box | Arcrion is a nation that has a variety of religions, most of them coming from immigrants in Levantia. The only non-Levantine religion belongs to the Indigenous peoples of Arcerion, who worship a variety of different gods and deities that are not Occidental. Arcerion has a growing irreligious movement that believes that as the government is already secular, even if founded upon Protestant values and teachings, that the population should trend this way as well. Over the 20th century, the irreligious movement has increased markedly, and by 2022 it was at its highest, and estimated to continue to grow among young people and new immigrants. Efforts by the Protestant Church of Arcerion to combat the growing rise of irreligious youth have seen a level of cooperation between Anglicans and Protestants not usually seen in Arcerion. The majority of Catholics in Arcerion arrive from Urcea or former members of the Holy Levantine Empire. Religion in Arcerion is not entwined with the state as in some other nations, and it has been secular since the granting of semi-soveriengty in 1890. {{bar box | ||

}} | }}Arcerion's religious background began with the introduction of Anglican, Catholic, and Protestant missionaries as early as the late 18th century. These missionaries established not only inland monasteries and churches, but also helped found many of Arcerion's earliest and oldest institutions, notably the [[Ardmori Anglican University]]. Arcerion has continued to maintain a high level of religious adherence, with the majority of politicians and senior business officials in the nation declaring some level of religious affiliation. | ||
In the Arcer Armed Forces, the Chaplain Corps is a branch of the Army that provides religious services such as mass, last rites, baptisms, and marriages (including civil unions) to members of the Armed Forces. The Chaplain Corps also assists with social welfare programs in the military, assisting with marriage and family counselling, and programs such as after school care for Armed Forces members. | |||
