Korolians

Korolians (Korolian: Korolčicy) are an ethnic and cultural group inhabiting various lands accross Northern Rathnir and Leifmyrr. Currently the United Commonwealth has the largest amount of Korolians.

Naming
The name Korolian comes from the Old Nebskoslav word “Korol” meaning king. After the establishment of the United Commonwealth, sources began to designate its inhabitants of Nebskoslav origin as Korolians after the name of the Korol Dynasty which founded Nebskoslavia, Czervoslavia and then the UC.

It is important to note that Korol is used to denote the family, whilst Korolian is used to denote the nationality.

Ethnogenesis
Korolians originated from Nesbskoslavia.

Language
The Korolian language developed as the United Commonwealth centralised, with the need for a single administrative language to prevent miscommunications between Western and Eastern dialects.

Dialects
Korolian is split into 7 primary dialects:


 * Nebskoslav
 * Zamožan
 * Gdanycian
 * Czervoslav
 * Veldski
 * Novožemjan

There are various levels of similarity with the dialects, with Nebskoslav, Gdanycian and Czervoslav being the only dialects to exist prior to the introduction of Standard Korolian

The Korolian Question
The Korolian Question deals with Korolian and Pan-Korolian nationalism.

Pan-Korolian Answer
The Pan-Korolian Answer proposes the creation of a single centralised country encompassing all Korolian lands and peoples, however also focusing on the state being centred around Korolians without any other major ethnic or cultural groups.

Commonwealth Answer
The Commonwealth Answer proposes a state either akin or directly related to the I United Commonwealth with the intention of unifying all Korolians under a federal state, but also having other nations be part of it to strive for a common goal. This was partially achieved with the creation of the II United Commonwealth.

Nationalist Answer
The Nationalist Answer centres around the creation of nation-states based around the individual identities of Korolians (e.g. Nebskoslavs, Czervoslavs, Gdanycians). This became a popular line of thought after the collapse of the I United Commonwealth, especially due to the union's percieved weaknesses. Nationalists usually still support maintaining close relations with their fellow Korolians, but believe that they must all strive for their own goals.
