Isokyrians

Isokyrians (ᛁᛇᛟᚲᛁᚱᛖᚾ, Isokiren) are an ethnic group native to Isokyria. Isokyrians are defined by their shared cultural heritage and allegiance to the Isokyrian state. A subgroup of Isokyrians, British-Isokyrians, refers to people who primarily have British ancestry rather than Isokyrian. They usually have English, Scottish, Welsh, or Irish names and use English naming customs whereas Isokyrians use Nordic names and use Isokyrian naming customs.

The Isokyrian War of Independence and the Isokyrian Civil War radically defined what it means to be an Isokyrian. After Britain's four-century rule of Isokyria ended, a surge of nationalism swept the islands. No longer subjects of the British crown, Isokyrians began rediscovering their heritage and their identity. The Nororist victory in the Isokyrian Civil War in the late 1930s hastened this cultural revival due to the efforts of the country's first post-war leader, Christian Robertsson. British-Isokyrians, however, were left in a puzzling position as many of their families lived on the islands for centuries but were not considered "true" Isokyrians because of their British ancestry. Many of them were denied economic opportunities and faced discrimination by the government and their fellow Isokyrians. This cemented the group as a permanent underclass in Isokyrian society.
