Iberic Diaspora

The Iberic Diaspora refers to the various ethnic groups formerly native to the former Iberic Empire in southern Europa whose members have since resettled around Eurth. The diaspora was triggered first by the events of the Malcisma a series of revolts which caused the collpase of the Iberic Empire. Throughout history, subsequent migrations starting with the Gran Viatge caused Iberic and Iberic-creole groups to populate most regions on Eurth.

Notable diaspora nations include Iverica, Mauridiviah, San Castellano, The Duchy of Verde, Narva, Vasqqa, and Galicia.

Origin

The term "Iberic" refers to a collection of nations descended from Aroman and Celtic populations which settled in the Iberic river valley in waves from the Neolithic era up to the early Medieval era. Following the introduction of petty kingdoms- and later sophisticated feudal and monarchic systems, these Aroman-Celtic people became confederated under the Kingdom of Leonia.

The nations that made up the Iberic empire would retain some individuality. Despite the commonality in phonetics, some cultural aspects, and a shared fealty, the nations retained noticably different languages, customs, and physical characteristcs.
