Description[?]:
| Kirlawan cultural census of 2800. Ethnicity: North Artanian: 51% (-5%) Celtic: 27% (+7%) Dundorfian: 12% (-3%) Non-Celtic Dovani: 3% (+3%) (was previously included within "Other") Istalian: 2% (-2%) Makonian: 1% (nc) (primarily Hutori) Kerissian: 1% (nc) Mixed/Other: 3% (nc) Primary Language: English: 70% (-2%) Dundorfian: 9% (-2%) Irish: 11% (+4%) Welsh: 8% (+2%) Italian: 2% (-2%) Religion: Hosians: total 51% (nc) >>> Bishopal: 33% (-2%) >>> Universal: total 17% (+2%) >>> >>> Selucian: 10% (+1%) >>> >>> Veritan / Almighty Path: 2% (nc) >>> >>> Other Universal: 5% (+1%) >>> Other non-Universal, non-Bishopal Hosian: 1% (nc) Ehudism: 1% (-1%) Daenism: 2% (nc) Pagan: 10% (+2%) (nature worship, etc.) Other: 2% (nc) No Religion: 34% (-1%) Kirlawa's major event of the past fifty years has been the independence of New Englia. This small area on the eastern coast of Dovani had been a Kirlawan protectorate for centuries, and was then administered by a four-nation consortium, before the people of New Englia voted for full independence this half-century. Some Celtic New Englians, considering themselves to be Kirlawans first, have come to Kirlawa from across the sea. With the Istalians now happily back in control of their homeland, many whose ancestors had arrived in Kirlawa a century ago to escape oppression by the Quanzari raiders, are gradually emigrating back. Domestically, several religious parties arose and flourished in Kirlawa this half-century, but then faded away, with little lasting overall change in the religious affiliations of the nation. ============ Revised 30 April 2012, to comply with the new names for the religions. http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?p=37476#p37476 "Hosians" = Christians. "Luthorian" = Protestant. (specifically Lutheran, but Kirlawa's Protestantism came from Luthori anyway) "Bishopal" = Catholics (the page says to use "Patriarchal", but I feel that that name very strongly connotes Orthodox, not Catholic.) "Selucian" = Selucian Catholic. "Veritan" = Veritan Catholic. "Ehudism" = Judaism. "Deanism" = Buddhism. I am assuming that using the names of Particracy locations (Luthori, Selucia, Veritas, Terra) is still OK. ============ Revised and sent to vote 31 August 2015, for archiving. Fixed the spelling of "Daenism" and of "Kerissian". "Bishopal" now refers to Anglican or Episcopalian, not Catholic; in accordance with http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=346816 I've re-renamed our Catholics to "Universal", to hopefully avoid misunderstandings regarding the term "Bishopal". They're currently (3900) the Aurorian Church, but of course that didn't exist in 2800. |

| Message | Naturally the census continues to worry us deeply. The continued decline of the North Artanian population must be seen as a cause for concern. Immigration has totally changed the face of our nation, and it is possible that at the next census the immigrant and immigrant descended population (and Dundorfians) may make up over half of our population, Is this something we really want? |
