The '''Constitutional Corric Kingdom of Casilló and Réal''' <small>(Corric: ''Reino Corric Constitucional de Casilló y Réal'')</small> is a country located on the south-eastern portion of [[Novaris]]. It is bordered to the south and east by the [[Concordian Ocean]] and by [[Nacata]] to the north and Tedeschi to the west. Casilló y Réal is a united post-feudal state, which consolidated into one nation four hundred and thirty years ago from the Kingdom of Casilló and the Kingdom of Réal. With a combined national history going back almost 1800 years, Casilló y Réal is a cultural and vacation destination for many around the world.

== Demographics ==

The population of Casilló y Réal has grown steadily for the past century. In the Ministry of the Interior's 2018 Royal Corric Census, the number of citizens reached over 40 million. Most of the population is concentrated in the coastal regions and the central fertile valleys. Population density therefore is widely variable depending on district. Avantana is the most heavily-populated district, while Julinazo is the least. The number of citizens doubled from 1920 to 1960, with an increase of 10 million thanks to modernization of infrastructure and medicine. This boom is known as the Midcentury Miracle.

Casilló y Réal's citizens trend on the older side, with an average age of 38.8 years. The current birth rate is approximately 2.6 children per woman, above the required human replacement rate of 2.1 but significantly down from the 4.4 children average in the 20th century. Slowed birth rates are attributed to global trends such as interconnectivity, gender equity movements, and limited inflation.

Corric people make up 73% of the population. Defined as any individual who has either a geneological ancestry to both Réoran and Arranzic ethnicities or else is ethnically Andoran but does not identify as either Réoran or Arranzic, Corrics are the second-most populous Impelantic ethnic group in Novaris after Kutherns. The other two Andoran Impelantic groups make up 9% of the population for Réorans and 8% for Arranzics. These ethnicities include those who practice the historical traditions and culture of the groups as well as Andorans with majority ancestry in them.

The modern Corric diaspora is estimated to be around 15 million individuals. This number has fallen from an estimated 20 million Corric citizens living abroad in the 1980s, largely due to political shifts and economic needs. The Réorans and Arranzics are not considered as having a diaspora as the members living abroad number under five hundred each. The largest international Corric populations are in New Leganés and South Peragen, followed by Tavaris's Crystal Coast. Corric citizens live in significant numbers across Novaris and Aurora, while their presence in Concord and Yasteria is limited.

The 10% of the population that is non-native is a mixture of different nationalities and races. The most significant of these groups are Andoran Cava, which as a distinct ethnic group make up around 4% of the Corric population. These Cava are somewhat lighter-feathered than their Auroran cousins, with dark greys and blue pigmentations possible alongside black. After them are Andoran Aurians. Andoran Aurians are largely integrated into the larger society of Casilló y Réal. Although genetically identical to their traditional Arcturian cousins, Aurians in Andora do not ascribe to the racial caste system and fill roles in society based on personal ability and interest rather than physiology. 2% of the population are Andoran Aurians.

After these two species, the remaining 4% of the population includes many different international ethnicities and species. This metropolitan mixture is mostly concentrated in the coastal cities and the Salasca district. Prominent groups include Cryrians, Volkians, Tavari, Cukish, Kuthern, Peragan, Morst, Tretridian, Volscine, and Alkseari citizens. These groups include both legal citizens and visitors and have allowed for other religions to be practiced in limited amounts. The most popular international religions behind Deusism are [[Thaerism]], [[Ademarism]], [[Acronism]], and Xaethosty.

[[Andoran Deusism]] scripture first was published in the mid-12th century. It has since expanded to include many works of theology and doctrine. These works include the widely-known King Gael edition of the Book of Vult, also known as Gael's Tome. Other religious literature includes Chacel's 1388 ''The Eyes of Deus'', Goyisoto's 1431 ''Ruminations on the Theology of Andora'', and Lorca's ''1695 Deus and All Things''. Corric scripture has influenced the legal sphere due to a number of archaic laws based in religious philosiphy still being enforced. These include a prohibition on capital punishment and persecution of other religions, with quotations in the law directly lifted from Gael's Tome.

While not considered by some theologists and literary scholars as doctrine, the famous 1711 work ''The Mind and Soul in Cooperation with the Spheres'' written by Juan Gamonéna, is widely viewed as a piece of scripture. Its subjects include the practical anthropological relationships between belief systems and religions across the world. In the second half of the book, Gamonéna posits that in theological terms, all people worship different aspects of the same diefic force, and all religions should therefore be treated as parts of a single spiritual whole. This argument has become a mainstream part of Andoran Deusism. Many practicioners have no exposure to the book but can detail most of the ideas within it.

Corric cinema is a small but successful industry. Pictures that have achieved major acclaim include ''The Fireflies'' and ''All Men of Honor''. The Royal Corric Cinema Society manages the promotion and advancement of the cinematic arts and sciences and presents the Mañue Awards annually to important contributiors to these subjects. Directors and producers that are internationally known include Cristian Caballero, Brais Peña, Maria Del Mar Jiménez, Mario Santolaria, Yanira Rivera, and Juan Carlos Tarragona. The film industry in Casilló y Réal is known for its wide use of practical effects and commitment to authenticity. Among the notable practical effects films is ''Eighteen Souls and a Prayer'', a war film which used functioning airplanes and live ammunition for several scenes.

Corric actors often attend the Julinazo Film Academy to acquire method and language skills. Famous actors who have appeared in critically acclaimed and varied roles like Gema Ávila, Ian Batanero, Juan Antonio Coll, and Laia Valladares are alumni of the Film Academy. In 2011, King Sebastián II knighted actor Luis Miguel Herrera as a Knight-Sergeant of Andora for his 'critical service in bringing the vibrancy and chivalry of Corric culture to the international community.' Herrera's roles in films based on Andoran folk tales and Corric history are widely regarded as both engaging and historically accurate.
