-Faneria (Fhs. ''Fhainnlannacharean'') is a unitary parliamentary republic situated in northern [[Levantia]]. Largely dominated by a [[Fhainnin Culture|Fhainnin]] Gaelic population in its more heavily populated southern regions along the [[Vandarch Sea]], the country includes Gothic, [[Coscivian]], and [[Anglei|Aenglish]]-origin minorities for a total population of over 351 million. It consists of 29 metropolitan provinces, one overseas province, two territories, and two semiautonomous Republics which span roughly 1.9 million square miles; it borders Kiravian [[Scapa]] to the northwest by sea, [[Caergwynn]] to the north and east, and [[Fiannria]] to the east, as well as sharing maritime borders with several nations across the Vandarch. The national language is [[Fhasen]].

 ===Ethnic Groups===
+The ethnic makeup of the country is fairly broad among nations in northern Levantia, with the primary ethnic group being the ''Marfhainn'', or Sea Fhainn (almost universally shortened to Fhainn). This group originates around the [[Vandarch Sea]] and forms the cultural and linguistic core of the country, and a significant plurality of the country's population consist of ethnic groups related to the Fhainn. These include the Sheafhainn, who live in western metropolitan Faneria,
 ===Language===
 {{Main|Fhasen}}
-The Fhasen language is the legal and de facto language of Faneria, and is descended from an agglomeration of local dialects which were condensed into an administrative language by [[Cywir Suthar-Màrtainn]] in the 18th Century. As a result, the language is [[International Council on Fhasen Conventions|heavily regulated and standardized]], and is not mutually intelligible with other Gaelic-descent languages. Other languages, including Julian Aenglish, Namhene, Caeric, Coscivian, and Faeskt, are spoken regionally. In 2030, census records indicated a 73% rate of multilingualism, with approximately 24% of the population self-describing as speaking three languages or more on a conversational level, typically including both Fhasen and Aenglish.
+Faneria's de facto and legal language is [[Fhasen]], an administrative language developed in the 17th Century to circumvent regional dialects and create a national 'high culture' to cement the largely military gains made from the 15th Century onwards. Fhasen is the only mandatory language taught in public schools and is formally [[International Council on Fhasen Conventions|heavily regulated and standardized]]. Due to its nature as an artificial language, Fhasen is not mutually intelligible with other Gaelic languages such as Faeskt or Caeric. Informally, [[Aenglish]], Baland Coscivian, [[Kiravic Coscivian]] and Culoch Gaelic are the largest non-Fhasen languages in use, as well as Faeskt and Namhene being spoken in some localities. Many regional dialects of pre-Fhasen Gaelic exist in modernity as slang or regional accents, and are in rare cases spoken as dialects in small enclaves.
+While the use of Fhasen is a binding cultural element within the country, most people speak a second language, typically Aenglish. The dialect of Aenglish developed in Faneria is relatively closely related to [[Julian Aenglish]] and is commonly a conversational or trade tongue, whereas Fhasen is the language of contracts, technical instructions, and law. In 2030, census records indicated a 73% rate of multilingualism among adults 20 or over, with approximately 24% of the population self-describing as speaking three languages or more on a conversational level, typically including both Fhasen and Aenglish.
