Upon the signing of the [[Assumption Accords]] in [[1984]], cession of the Ecinis peninsula and demilitarization of the southern half of Lariana and eastern portions of Caphirian Urlazio meant an end to the more than eighty years of military presence in Lariana, leading to dramatic changes in the economy. Despite this, many investors have expressed interest in the potential of the rapidly changing economy. Caphirian investors and visitors have become commonplace in Lariana since the time the Accords were signed, and analysts have speculated that Lariana may once again become a primary port of entry into Sarpedon and crossroads of the Occident. As part of the Accords, a free-trade area was created between Lariana and the Caphirian provinces of Urlazio.

== Demographics ==
The 2025 Kingdom Census counted a population of 34,902,694. Lariana's population is predominantly middle age, with the Kingdom having a lower natural population growth rate than [[Urcea]] with 3 live births per female in [[2027]] Lariana enjoys significant levels of immigration from both Urcea and [[Caphiria]], ensuring robust overall population growth and relatively high numbers of educational attainment and health.
=== Linguistic Demographics ===
Lariana's linguistic demography is relatively diverse, with three languages being spoken on a regular basis depending on area and circumstance. The Larianic language - a language related to Latin and somewhat similar to the languages spoken in [[Rhotia]] and [[Lapody]] with many key differences - is the plurality everyday language of Larianan people, with 55.7% reporting using it as their primary language. [[Julian Ænglish]] is the second most common primary language and the most spoken language in Lariana overall, with 33.1% of Larianans reporting it as their primary language and 90.2% of Larianans overall reporting being fluid in Julian Ænglish. [[Caphiric Latin]] and Veltorine dialects make up the remaining 12% percent of primary languages spoken.
Use of language differs by application. In most commercial transactions and business settings, Julian Ænglish is used frequently and is also typically used as the main language of the workplace due to the country's economic ties with Urcea. Larianan government typically issues public statements in both Larianic and Julian Ænglish, and legislation is adopted primarily in Larianic. Caphiric Latin is often used in diplomacy, as is the expectation of countries within the [[Continental Diplomatic Arrangement Organization]].

The Kingdom of Lariana does not have its own military; the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] provides for the defense of the Kingdom. Due to Larianan citizens automatically being given Urcean citizenship, participation of Larianan nationals in the Urcean armed forces is extremely common; as of [[2030]], 174,514 Larianans are currently serving in the Urcean armed forces. Due to the large number of Larianan nationals in the military and especially within the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]], several dozen {{wp|Cohort (military unit)|cohorts}} and {{wp|regiment}}s of Larianan units exist. These units, exclusively made up of Larianan personnel, are authorized to carry and fly the flag of the Kingdom of Lariana in its {{wp|Military colours, standards and guidons|unit colors}} and employ the various symbols and colors of the Kingdom in its unit symbols. Larianan nationals are given the choice of opting-in to participation in these units as opposed to normal R&IA units, and as of [[2030]] approximately half of Larianan nationals in the Army are in a Larianan unit.

The Kingdom briefly had its own Army, the Urlazian Royal Army (URA) which was founded in [[Lariana#Early_Modern_and_Industrial_Era|the 1850s]] as part of efforts to build Larianan identity and improve relations between the Kingdom and Urceopolis. At its peak in 1860, it was a corps-sized formation of about 35,000 men. A small portion of the URA was deployed to [[Crona]] to fight in the [[New_Harren#Colonial_establishment|Schoharie War]] in [[1881]]. Urcean commanders had long sought to integrate the small force into the [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal Army]]. Due to the [[History_of_Urcea_(1798-1902)#Rise_of_the_Rifled_State|rise of the influence of the military over the Urcean state]], increasing pressure was put on the Kingdom to dissolve the URA. The URA was finally dissolved in [[1890]] in the first year of the [[Crown Regency]].
