Geography
one stud is about 80k for now. Maps ae set to 40k, and this number might need some adjustement, but let's call it 80k for now. That makes the Balkavanians much larger than i've planned, which might be good.

Language
Rennians speak a variety of languages, with almost all speaking either Serolva, Leggish, or both.
The primary language of Rennia is Serolva, mainly the international standard dialect, marking the Rennian people as unique among the much more specified dialects their neighbours speak. This largely is the case because of the large ethnic group who originate outside of the Balkavanians, specifically from Iseli, Irin, and Sinitola. After their settlement in the Balkavanians, Government Programs & Education mandated that they learn Serolva to better integrate with the nations around them, resulting in a large portion of both Native & Learned Serolva Speakers in Rennia speaking a very formal dialect.
Rennnians with Irinian Heritage also often speak Leggish in addition to Serolva, often even as a first language. Rennians of Sinitolan Heritage (who are mostly found within the Qaret Province), speak Sinitolan Latin, and have kept the language alive intentionally as an artefact of their cultural distinction from Irinian & Balkavanian Rennians. Balkavanian Rennians of Iselian Origin similarly speak Iselian Latin, although Iselian Rennians tend to be much more spread out through the nation compared to Sinitolans.
