The process is believed to have started with the Weranian Revolution of 1828 although has its roots in the 1785 revolution that had led to the dissolution of the [[Rudolphine Confederation]] and the creation of the [[Weranian Republic]]. Inspired by a mixture of notions including {{Wp|nationalism}}, {{wp|historical revisionism}}, {{wp|republicanism}}, {{wp|liberalism}}, {{wp|secularism}} and {{wp|democracy}} the impetus for Weranian unification following the republic's dissolution led to the start of the "Weranic Question" of whether a state for the Weranian people should emerge, if it should be a {{Wp|republic}} or {{wp|monarchy}} and if it only consist of {{wp|High German|Weranian}} speaking lands or be enlarged to those who spoke common Weranic languages. During the early 19th century these questions led to an outpouring of nationalist activity in the Weranic states notably through the revolutionary secret society, the Septemberists. By 1829 republican nationalists united with monarchists in the Kingdom of [[Cislania]] to jointly promote the cause of unification. Gaining the support of [[Estmere]] these liberal nationalists began to see [[Kirenia]] as the biggest obstacle to unification. From 1836 starting with the Septemberist Revolt in Bonnlitz-Ostbrücken to the 1841-42 Weranian War of Unification the pace of unification under the Cislanian banner rapidly increased with the Weranian Confederation being declared following the victory of Cislanian forces in 1842. The state further expanded with the [[Easter Revolution]] in the eastern Weranian states. The final act of Weranian unification was the [[War of the Triple Alliance]] fought between Werania and [[Estmere]] against Kirenia, [[Gaullica]] and [[Soravia]]. Although the war had intended to unite the rest of the Weranic lands in Kirenia - considered to be the entirely Weranic speaking east marches and partially Weranian speaking Ruttland - into Werania, it failed to do so with Werania acquiring Ruttland alone. However the war did result in the survival of a unified Weranian nation confirming its presence permanently in [[Euclea]]. Weranian unification is considered to have changed the {{wp|balance of power}} in [[Euclea]]. It represented a decline in Kirenia and [[Solstiana]] whilst the creation of a unified Werania introduced a new {{Wp|great power}} on the continent that would compete with Gaullica, Soravia, Estmere and [[Etruria]] for influence.

Dialects of Papotement.png

Papotement, locally known as Gnun Tongo, also known as Carucerean Creole, is a Gaullican-based creole language spoken by over half a million people in the Asterias. It is the most widely spoken language in Carucere, serving as the unofficial national language of the country. Papotement has its origins from the Moutagnar creole spoken by enslaved Bahians on the Karukera colony in the 16th century, but the modern form of the language originates from the interactions between free Bahians and Gowsa workers, who mainly spoke Ziba, in the mid to late 19th century. The vocabulary of Papotement mostly originates from Gaullican, but its grammar draws influence from the Moutagnar creole and the Ziba language spoken by gowsa workers. Gaullican has played a major role in the creole since the mid-19th century, introducing the majority of the vocabulary as well as parts of the language's grammar, and methods of pronunciation. It is not mutually intelligible with standard Estmerish or Gaullican, and has its own distinctive pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. While Gaullican still remains the language of prestige, Papotement is the lingua gaullica of the Republic of Carucere. Carucereans tend to speak Papotement at home and in media; Gaullican is limited to administration and educational purposes. Though Carucereans are of numerous ethnic origins, including Southeast Coian, Bahian, and Euclean; Papotement has gradually replaced the ancestral languages of most the population to become the primary home language of the country.
