British culture in Lovia

British culture has exerted some influence on modern-day Lovia ever since the founding of the nation in 1876. Of the Founding Fathers, George Smith was British and the only one not to reside in America prior to emigration. Today, various small British communitities exist, usually well-integrated into Lovian society.

Language
English is the official language of Lovia, not because of British influence, but due to proximity to the USA and heavy American immigration. Virtually all British-Lovians are monolingual English speakers, although in areas where other languages are also spoken such as Dutch or Oceana, they may be bilingual. A small Welsh-speaking community existed in Western Clymene until about 1940, but died out quickly.

Communities in Lovia
British-Lovians are concentrated in Kings, with more than twice as many as the rest of the country combined. Portland and Beaverwick in particular are known as centres of British immigration. In Sylvania, the British population is fairly evenly spread, though with a concentration on Discovery Isle near the settlement of Pool. In Clymene, the British population is concentrated in Truth Island and in rural areas, with almost none resident in Sofasi or Adoha. A large number of British-Clymenis originate from Wales. Seven and Oceana have remarkably few British immigrants, possibly due to the fact that most British immigrants immigrated with the aim of purchasing land to farm rather than to do poorly-paid manual work which formed much of the economies of those two states. In total, there are 15879 Lovians who claim British ancestry, a total of 7.7% of the total population.
 * Oceana - 287 (0.7%)
 * Sylvania - 3103 (4.1%)
 * Seven - 314 (1.2%)
 * Kings - 10026 (19.9%)
 * Clymene - 2149 (8.0%)
