Carolina (Former AIN Nation)

The Federal Republic of Carolina (FRC), commonly referred to as Carolina, is a federal republic composed of 11 states, and a federal district. Carolina is in central North America south of the United States and north of Cuba, with the state of Warsiene comprising an archipelago in the northwestern Caribbean. At 580,454 square miles (1,503,368 km2) and with over 60 million people, Carolina is the world's nineteenth largest country by total area and the twenty fourth most populous. The geography and climate are also diverse, and the country is home to a wide variety of wildlife.

Paleo-Indians migrated from Asia to the North American mainland at least 15,000 years ago, with European colonization beginning in the 16th century. Friega was the main colonizer, however the land of present day Carolina has also been colonized by Great Britain, France, and Spain. Carolina was united under Friega after the Florida War between 1689 and 1691, the Tichelaar Campaigns between 1722 and 1734 and the French and Indian War (part of the Seven Years War) between 1754 and 1763. Carolina became semi-self governing in 1745 when the first Gearkomste was created, and then in 1792 when the colonial federation was created. During the Napoleonic Wars, Britain occupied the colony however it was returned to Anglinburg after the Anglin Revolution. During the Anglin period, Carolina was governed directly by the crown and a governor which acted as a puppet for the Anglin regime. After the overthrow of Anglin, slavery was banned throughout the colony. In 1839 the federation was restored under the new Friega and Carolina was given more self-governance under the Self-Governance Act. Carolina's economy began to shift from the cotton based system to a more industrial system, primarily made of textiles starting in the 1850's. In 1884, the current constitution was drafted at the 1884 Atlanta Convention. The constitution was then signed in Paris, making Carolina independent of Friega.

In the late 1880's and 1890's, Carolina's economy began to take off primarily through the production of textiles and tobacco. The 1890's were a time of intense immigration to Carolina. Carolina entered into the First World War in October of 1914, earlier than other North American countries. The war helped develop a much stronger Carolinian military along with diversifying industry. The 1920's were a time of extreme economic prosperity for those in urban environments, however farmers hurt because of falling cotton prices and the Boll Weevil. This helped the Florida Land Boom which developed much of the state. The Great Depression in the 1930's was intense for Carolina, however reforms to banking and other commercial industries made it a necessary learning lesson. The Farmers Protection Act also helped stabilize the Carolinian economy. Carolina's entered the Second World War on April 11th 1940. Carolina helped in the campaigns of Italy and the Low Countries. Post-War economic growth was strong through the 1950's, however started slow due to Helmich Jager's winning the presidency and pushing "apartheid" like laws. In 1952 Jager was replaced by Thomas John who passed the 4th, 5th, and 6thamendments, guaranteeing basic civil rights to black people. Carolina's economy also began to grow starting in the early 1950's. Carolina is a highly developed country. It ranks highly in several measures of socioeconomic performance, including average wage, human development, per capita GDP, and productivity per person. While the Carolina economy is considered post-industrial, characterized by the dominance of services, the manufacturing sector has seen recent growth, primarily in automobile and aerospace manufacturing.

Etymology
Carolina, derives from both English, Frisian, and French origin. The original use of the name was in 1564 when France built a fort in Florida named Fort Caroline, which is translated to Carolina in English or Karolina in Frisian languages. The name Karolina was first used in 1573 when Friega used the term to describe their colonial possession between the James River and Spanish Florida. Carolina was also dual-ally used by the English who were colonizing northern Carolina. Through diffusion of the Frisian language and the creation of Atlantsiike, the K's in Frisian were gradually replaced the C's derived from the English language. This diffusion occurred sometime in the late 18th century and early 19th century.

Indigenous and European contact
The first inhabitants of North America migrated from Siberia by way of the Bering land bridge and arrived at least 15,000 years ago, though increasing evidence suggests an even earlier arrival. Some, such as the pre-Columbian Mississippian culture, developed advanced agriculture, grand architecture, and state-level societies. After the Spanish conquistadors made the first contacts, the native population declined for various reasons, primarily from diseases such as smallpox and measles. Violence was not a significant factor in the overall decline among Native Americans, though conflict among themselves and with Europeans affected specific tribes and various colonial settlements.

In the early days of colonization, many European settlers were subject to food shortages, disease, and attacks from Native Americans. Native Americans were also often at war with neighboring tribes and allied with Europeans in their colonial wars. At the same time, however, many natives and settlers came to depend on each other. Settlers traded for food and animal pelts, natives for guns, ammunition and other European wares. Natives taught many settlers where, when and how to cultivate corn, beans and squash. European missionaries and others felt it was important to "civilize" the Native Americans and urged them to adopt European agricultural techniques and lifestyles.

Settlements
The first attempts to colonize modern-day Carolina were by the Spanish in 1521. Ponce de León and 200 other men sailed from Cuba to set up a colony in southwestern Florida, most likely near Charlotte Harbor. However due to attacks by the nearby Calusa tribe, the men had to return in July, 1521.

In 1526 de Ayllón led an expedition of some 600 people to the South Carolina coast. After scouting possible locations as far south as Ponce de León Inlet in Florida, the settlement of San Miguel de Gualdape was established in the vicinity of Sapelo Sound, Georgje. Disease, hunger, cold and Indian attacks led to San Miguel being abandoned after only two months. About 150 survivors returned to Spanish settlements.

In 1562, Charles IX, under the leadership of Admiral Gaspard de Coligny sent Jean Ribault and a group of Huguenot settlers in an attempt to colonize the Atlantic coast and found a colony on a territory which will take the name of the French Florida. They discovered the probe and Port Royal Island, which is now called by Parris Island in South Carolina, on which he built a fort named Charlesfort (present-day Charleston). The group, led by René Goulaine de Laudonnière, moved to the south where they founded the Fort Caroline on the Saint John's river in Florida on June 22, 1564. This irritated the Spanish who claimed Florida and opposed the Protestant settlers for religious reasons. In 1565, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés led a group of Spaniards and founded Saint Augustine, 60 kilometers south of Fort Caroline. On 20 September 1565 the Spaniards, commanded by Menéndez de Avilés, attacked and massacre all the Carolina occupants including Jean Ribaut.

The first Friegan settlements in Carolina began in the late 1550's with the set up of several colonies in present-day South Carolina and Georgje. Most failed within the first couple of months due to hunger, disease, and attacks by local Native American tribes. Friega's first successful colony was Savanne, set up in 1569, several years after the French left Charlesfort. The colony began slow, however became important in the early 17th century.

Between 1610 and 1625, Savanne grew immensely, making it the 2nd fastest growing city in the New World. But slowly the city began to find limits on where it could grow. Marshes surrounded the city, creating limits on where people could and could not live similar to the situation in Frisia. Building on the Marshes was challenging but took many lessons from the work done in Frisia and the Netherlands on water drainage and building up the land. Farms were taken from people to build new houses, and those people were forced to move further inland Slowly people began to look for other places in the area to place their farms. Many followed the Savanne River inland, and set up their farms along the river where irrigation wasn’t a problem. Roads were built along the river by the farmer that lived there, hoping that they could easily transport their goods to Savanne. The need for another port city grew tremendously and in 1615, Augusta was established. Augusta was different from most ports in the New World because it wasn’t close to the ocean. In fact Augusta was over 100 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, making it one of the only inland ports in the world. However Augusta allowed farmers to ships their goods to Savanne in a quicker, safer way than on small dirt roads. Its prominence grew, however Augusta’s trade links never left Savanne and it remained simply and inland spoke of the larger port in Savanne. Augusta remained important for the people of inland Georgje and promoted growth in the region where things like marshes were not a problem. In 1624, Freiga sent another group of settlers to the New World, this time to settle north of Savanne and create another port. The people landed in the Outer Banks, however moved inland to start the town of Pamlico, named after the nearby Indian tribe. However the Pamlico were not as nice as the Shawnee that lived near Augusta and Savanne. Repeated attacks on Pamlico called for the settlers to erect Fort Pamlico, a trading and defense outpost. Eventually stone walls were placed around the entire town to defend the people from the Pamlico. Pamlico almost solely relied on shipments of food from the southern Freigan colonial cities because of the limited space inside the walls of the city. By 1632 only 100 people remained in Pamlico, many had died, others left for Savanne hoping to find other economic opportunities. Fort Pamlico was officially abandoned in 1648, when the city surrendered under the last Pamlico raid.

Florida War
By 1650, Freiga had erected multiple trading posts in Florida including one on Key West. The Spanish were aware that Freiga had forts in Southern Florida however they did little to nothing about it as the Spanish were more concerned about constant attacks on San Augustin. In November of 1689, the Spanish invaded a captured the island of Hilliege Joseph, and established a Spanish rule under the viceroyalty of New Spain. The island was renamed Santo Jose, and the city of Port Christanstad was renamed as Puerto Domingo. The Spanish sent out three more campaigns to other islands in the Warsiene, taking over all eleven islands. New Spanish rules began limiting the rights of the Freigans that had run the islands before the Spanish takeover. New governors were put into place, and instigates reforms on the island one of which forcing Spanish to be taught in the few schools on the islands. . New Spanish immigrants to the islands also got the government to confiscate land for them to build their own farms. Just a couple months later, Spain launched an invasion of Georgje which was halted by a harsh winter. The British also joined alongside the Freigan to try and drive away the Spanish from the British colonies. The Anglo-Freigan armies pushed back into Florida however never completely took over the Spanish colony. In March of 1690, a Freigan Fleet stormed Havana and was able to take the city. Due to Havana’s precise location, Freiga was able to invade and eventually take over most of western Cuba along with taking part of the Spanish Navy stationed in Cuba. By 1691 Freiga and Spain had been in a standoff, partly due to the Nine Year War against France where both were awkwardly allied. By July of that year, both Spain and Freiga decided it was best to end the conflict and concentrate their efforts on the war in Europe. Freiga sent an envoy to  Madrid to discuss their American colonies in order to prevent further dispute. A map of the Americas was drawn out in order to define the borders of each colony. The Warsiene were given back to Freiga in exchange for trading rights and the ability to dock their fleet in Santo Jose (Hilleige Joseph). Spain also agreed to give up Florida if Freiga’s gains in Cuba were returned and Spain was granted access to strait.

Early 18th Century Carolina and the Tichelaar Campaigns
Friega integrated Florida into the Friegan West Indies Company which also managed the Warsiene Islands, however in 1717 the company was dissolved and Florida and the Warsiene were both put under King control. Florida began to grow for the first time under a new governor and the colony began to see an increase in commerce. Colonists from Carolina and even some from the British Colonies traveled to Florida to grow fruits like Oranges and Pineapples in the semi-tropical climate. A new first road in Carolina was built from Saint Augustine to Savannah and Augusta to link the two ports. The road was later pushed east to connect Jackson as well. Saint Augustine and Jackson, a primarily English settlement also grew in size, with Augustine nearly doubling its population in 10 years. People began to push inland and as they pushed inland more and more Indian conflicts began to occur. Sea Island cotton began to be an important crop for Florida becoming the first Freigan colony to export cotton. Floridian Cotton was a very popular commodity because of its smooth texture which was often used in finer clothes. It was also easier to obtain than silks from China, so the crop flourished in Europe. However as Carolina began to grow the cotton in mass quantities, Florida lost its dominating role in the trade and cotton exports decreased in the 19th century.

Between 1693 and 1750, Carolina immensely to become the most populated and profitable Freigan colony. After the creation of the Carolina Company, the capital was set at Savannah. Plantations began spreading across the countryside, with the first ones coming up along the Savannah River and then fanning out from there. More Freigan and English settlers moved into the northern parts of the colony as well founding Wilmington and New Bern. These towns created small ports that rivaled the large port of Savannah or the port of Saint Augustine because it simpler to move about these smaller ports and cities. More and more plantations growing Cotton, Tobacco and other Cash crops grew in Carolina and by 1740, Carolina controlled nearly 50% of the North American cotton trade and around 35% of the Tobacco trade. Northern Carolinian ports became so busy exporting these goods that they started to levy an export tax to pay for the expansion of the ports. Revolts across Northern Carolina were held in spite of this and new ports at Brunswick and Morehead were founded. Most Northern Carolinian spoke English and were either born in England or Virginia and had migrated south. For much of 18th century, Britain and Freiga both had joint claims on each other’s lands. Freiga claimed that the rightful Carolina-Virginia border should be at the James River while Britain proclaimed it to be at the Cape Fear. This dispute was settled after the Tichelaar Campaigns. However the British continued to erect trading forts and towns even south of the Cape Fear. Georgetown and Charles Town were both built on the Carolinian coastline. Georgetown and Charles Town were both meant to be major port cities for the British in order to assert control and essentially take over Carolina from the Freigans, however Georgetown ultimately failed and Charleston, while being a major trading city, did not expand much past its swampy borders. In 1721, the Carolina Company was dissolved by the King of Freiga for allowing the British to basically invade the colony. The King appointed the successful general Wessel Tichelaar to be governor of Carolina. Governor Tichelaar started the very successful Tichelaar Campaigns against the British which ultimately drove the British from cities such as Charles Town and Wilmington with only his provincial military and support from the Friegan Navy. Tichelaar only target specific British military targets such as a fort and was careful to not destroy things that could end up helping the colony in the long run. Freiga pledged a fairly large fleet to do that, which meant that taxes had to be raised in the colonies. A tariff was put on all goods not imported from Freiga to encourage people to either grow their own products or import them through Freiga. While this was not as protests as tariffs placed of the British Americas they were resented by most people because goods such as tea were now more expensive than they were before. By 1734, the British agreed that the border needed to be set between Virginia and Carolina in order to stop the skirmishes between the Freigans and the British. They agreed on placing the boundary at 36 degrees and 30 minutes north, a boundary that would define Carolina for the rest of its existence. Tichelaar died in 1764 after serving in the French and Indian War. He is defined as one of the greatest Governors of Carolina and Tichelaar International Airport in Savannah was named after him. Slowly Carolinians expanded west in search of new opportunities. This however fueled American Indian conflicts especially with the Cherokee who gone on raids of Carolinian plantations before, notably the Augustan Raid of 1701. Some military support was given to try to drive the Cherokee further west. Freigan settlers also began to push their way into French lands and the French had erected a trading post close to Augusta in order to trade with the Indians nearby. The Creek Indians also had a hostile relationship with the Freigan settlers which they did not have with the nearby French settlers. This led to Freiga entering the French and Indian War in 1754.

In 1745, the Governor’s Council was replaced by a new democratic system of government called a Gearkomste (meaning Assembly in Frysk). This single house legislature became the new legislative branch for the colony. Representatives had a certain area or town that they represented. Because these regions were population based areas to the west often had less representation that those to the east. Nearly 75 additional representatives were added by 1770. However voting was often reserved for those who had great power in the colony (land owners) and small farmers and men who did not own land didn’t not have voting rights in the colony.

French and Indian War
By 1755, Carolina had grown into one of the wealthiest colonies in the Americas and it attracted many plantation owners from all over Europe to grow cash crops to be exported in Freiga’s global trade network. However as more and more people came to Carolina they expanded to the interior of the colony and some even crossed the Appalachian Mountains to get to what they believed would be a heaven for growing crops. This did anger the French, however they didn’t do anything about it until the war. The main people it angered was the Creek and Cherokee tribes who wanted to defend their lands from increasing colonization. Just like many tribes had done with the British, the Creek and Cherokee were able to play the French and the Freigans off of each other in order to somewhat defend their territory. However the Cherokee started to perform raids which led the Freigans to declare a war against them in 1753. While this war was very small it ended with the Freigan victory and limited the rights of the Cherokee. France also saw Carolina as a new profit source and sought to press inward until it eventually took over the colony. France was in major debt at this point and being able to sell the cash crops grown in Carolina would help pay off many of their debts. France set up the trading fort of Marseille Nouvelle (New Marseille) nearly 10 miles from Augusta. The French also promised that if the Cherokee and the Creek would help them fight in the war that they would create two nations one for the Cherokee and one for the Creek to expand across the current Carolina colony. On October 14th, 1755 the French along with a band of many Cherokee Indians attacked Augusta by destroying two ships and their cargo and then burning the port. This became the symbolic start to the Freigan entry into the Seven Years War in an alliance with Britain. The next major battle was the Battle of Fort Marseille Nouvelle, where the French ultimately won out, however suffered devastating losses.

The French began to push eastward in both North Carolina and in Florida, two places where they wanted a land claim. The French began successful campaigns in the western sections of Carolina where military presence was low, and eventually rebounded from the Battle of Fort Marseille Nouvelle to capture Augusta. As the Freigan slowly were pushed back in Carolina, they ultimately won a battle in Pensacola where the French wanted to take the port and military outpost. The French retreated to Mobile and regathered for another attempt at conquering Pensacola. The Freigans saw the weakened French troops as an opportunity and on May 11th, 1756 they stormed Mobile and forced the French to surrender the city. This became a devastating loss to the French and the Freigans imprisoned as many as 5,000 French troops. Meanwhile in Carolina, the Freigans lost another important battle to the Creek in the southwest sections of the colony. The Creek stormed Fort Rivibuge and forced the Freigans there to flee eastward. With many the French and Indians gaining more and more ground toward the coastal cities, Freiga called upon its allies to help it out. Britain and Denmark both agreed to offer support to the Freigans to help push back the French in an attempt to win out in the larger Seven Years War

With new support from Denmark and Britain, the Freigans were able to push the French westward towards the Appalachian. In 1757 the coalition recaptured Augusta and later went on to take over Fort Marseille Nouvelle. In Florida, the French continued to launch attacks on Mobile with no avail. In 1759 the Freigans launched a large attack on Biloxi. The attack lasted for 3 days but the French eventually surrendered over the important gulf town. In 1760 the British sent a huge fleet to continue to secure both Mobile and Biloxi from being retaken by the French. In Carolina, forces had one several battles against the Cherokee and the Creek Indians. As the French tried to fortify their land west of the Appalachian, it was clear that they were losing ground to the Freigan Coalition. An attempt to take over New Orleans was flaunted by the large presence of French Troops and a Spanish presence in the city. The British joined the coalition to help end the war in the south and have the Prussian and Danish focus on the European conflict. Multiple campaigns were launched between 1759 and 1762 with an overwhelming amount of victories for the Freigans. However by 1761 most of the fighting had ceased in the south as the countries focused on the European War. Friega signed the Treaty of Paris which granted French lands east of the Mississippi and south of the British-Friegan line to Carolina. Friega carved out three new colonies, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.

Geography
Carolina is 580,454 square miles making it the 19th largest country in the world for total area. Carolina is located in the southeastern area of Central North America, south and east of the United States and north of Cuba. The majority of Carolina is part of the humid subtropical climate zone, identified in the Köppen Climate types. However sections of the Appalachian Mountains in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, northern Georgia and Qualla, are a part of the oceanic climate. Most of South Florida and the Warsiene Islands are part of either the Savannah or Monsoon Tropical Climates.

The area along the Atlantic Seaboard is mostly flat, and coastal areas are home to many inland marshes. Heading west toward Piedmont, the flat landscape gives away to the rolling hills and deciduous forests of the area. The Appalachian Mountains provide a divide between western and eastern Carolina. The Appalachian region is characterized by a cooler climate a moderate sized mountains. Continuing west, the Great Valley of eastern Tennessee brings back the rolling hills found in the Piedmont Region. The land continues to be very similar to that of the Piedmont throughout Tennessee. The western border of Carolina is defined the Mississippi River, a major north-south river that flows through the United States and partially through Carolina. The river is navigable and is was historically used to transport goods from Memphis south to New Orleans or the western Gulf port cities.

Southern Carolina and the Florida's typically are very flat, with the Appalachian Mountains turning to rolling hills in southwestern Georgia and northwestern Alabama. In Florida, the land is nearly completely flat with many swamps and inland lakes characterizing the area. Several inland bays such as Tampa Bay and Charlotte's Harbor are found along the Floridian coastlines.

The Warsiene Islands are a group of mostly flat islands found off the southwestern coast of South Florida. The islands share a similar landscape to that of the Florida Keys and nearby Cuba, with a long sandy coastline and a flat interior. The Warsiene Islands were not volcanic, rather it is believed that they were at one point part of Florida during the ice age when the Floridian Peninsula extended several hundred miles from where it is today.

Wildlife
The ecology of Carolina is very diverse, partially due to the ranging climates of the nation. Florida, South Florida, and the Warsiene Islands are home to the countries more tropical plants and animals. The endangered American Crocodile can be found only along the tip of South Florida and in the Warsiene Islands. The much more populous American Alligator can be found along the southern and eastern coasts, and are often associated with Floridian wildlife. Deer are very populous in central and northern Carolina, and their abundance leads to a popular deer hunting season in Carolina. However they can cause problems, especially with motor vehicles. Carolina is also home to animals such as the Floridan Panther a critically endangered species native to the Everglades. The Florida Panther is the national mammal, voted in 2003 replacing the Black Bear. The Bald Eagle, which is a breeding resident of eastern Carolina, is a national symbol of Carolina as well as being the national bird.

Carolina's fauna is equally as diverse ranging from tropical plants in the southern portion of the nation, to more deciduous plants in the northern half. Palm Trees are abundant and found along the Carolinian coastline and throughout the Florida's. Pine Trees are abundant throughout Carolina, and the Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris) is the national tree of Carolina. The rare Venus flytrap is only native to North Carolina and South Carolina.

Carolina only has 7 National Parks, 1 in North Carolina, 1 in South Carolina, 1 in Tennessee, 2 in the Warsiene Islands, and 3 in South Florida. The largest National Park is Everglades National Park in South Florida. There are many state parks that are found throughout Carolina, which are owned and maintained by the individual states and not the national government.

Population
The Carolinian Department of the Census estimates that in 2016 the population of Carolina was 60,304,593 people. That is up from 60,101,753 in 2010. Carolina and the United States are the only major industrialized nations, where large population growth is expected. Carolina is expected to be the 24th most populous country in the world, nearly in line with the population with Italy. By 2020, Carolina is expected to grow to 61,500,000 which could mean that it could surpass Italy in the current decade. The birthrate of Carolina was not recorded until the 1910 Census when women were having 4.02 children. That has since decreased 1.89 children in 2010. Foreign Born population and immigration has allowed Carolina's population to continue to increase through recent years. Carolina saw the largest number of immigrants in 2015 when 406,837 immigrant applications were approved. Many of these came from Western Europe, Asia, and Latin America. American, Canadian, Friegan, French, and UK citizens do not need a visa to move or visit Carolina. Those same citizens along with Cuban citizens are also eligible for automatic citizenship. Carolina has taken in many Cuban refugees, many of which have fled by boat and landed in either South Florida or the Warsiene Islands. Cuban Immigrants are considered refugees because of the continuing Cuban Embargo. Carolina accepts immigrants from most of the world, except for "blacklisted countries". However, Carolina's immigration system is rigorous, designed to only allow the best immigrants in. Carolina has also withdrawn from recent Middle Eastern refugee resettlement despite outcries from refugees to have Carolina open it's doors to resettlement.

Education
According to a 2012 report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Carolina is the among the most educated countries in the world;[225] the country has a high number of adults having tertiary education, with 41 percent of Carolinian adults having attained at least an undergraduate college or university degree.[225] [226] Carolina invests fairly large amount of it's budget toward education. The country invests heavily in tertiary education (more than 16 000 USD per student).[227] As of 2014, 79 percent of adults aged 25 to 64 have earned the equivalent of a high-school degree, compared to an OECD average of 75 percent. Carolina is considered not allowing high school kids to drop out at 16, requiring them to complete their high school education. President Nikki Haley has expressed support for this bill dubbed the Complete Package Act.

Ethnicity
According to the 2010 Census, the largest group of Carolinian self-identified as White (69.1%). That was followed by African Carolinian (22.1%), Asian (2.3%). Native Americans comprised 1.2% of the population. 8.4% identified as Hispanic or of Hispanic origin.

Language
A variety of languages are spoken by Carolinian's, however the nations main three mother tongues, Atlantsiike (derived from West Frisian), English, and French are the first language of around 91% of Carolinian's. Cherokee is not a national language, however is considered a mother-tongue in Carolina, used officially by Qualla. The largest, non-mother-tongue of Carolina is Spanish, which comprises another 6% of Carolinian first languages. German, Swedish, Frisian, Chinese (mainly Mandarin), and Portuguese are common first languages among the other 2% of Carolinian's. Most of these people are immigrants to Carolina, however Swedish and German pockets and towns do exist in North Carolina and Georgia.

Atlantsiike is the primary language of central and eastern Carolina, primarily spoken in Florida, Georgia, Georgje, and South Carolina. Atlantsiike is different from most languages spoken in Carolina, in that it was derived from West Frisian, however through diffusion with English and French, became it's own language. Today almost all of the original "Frisian Speaking Areas" defined in 1820 have become part of the Atlantsiike speaking area. South Carolina has seen the largest growth in Atlantsiike, with a nearly 43% increase in native speakers between 1900 and 2010. Atlantsiike is taught in all Carolinian Primary and Secondary Schools, and all Tertiary Schools larger than 5,000 students must have an ability to accommodate an Atlantsiike speaking student.

English is the primary language of northern Carolina. It is the only official language of North Carolina but is also an official language in Georgia, South Florida, and Tennessee. Most public documents throughout Carolina are written in English along with Atlantsiike and French. The English language in North Carolina has attracted many American and Canadian immigrants throughout the past 50 years, who have come to Carolina looking for a job in the growing economy. English is taught in all Carolinian Primary and Secondary Schools, and all Tertiary Schools larger than 5,000 students must have an ability to accommodate an English speaking student.

French, or Cajun is the official language of most of western Carolina. Cajun French or French is an official language in Alabama, Mississippi, and West Tennessee, however is recognized as a "primary minority language" in Georgia, and Tennessee. French was originally brought to Carolina by the French colonization of western Carolina, known as the French Colony of Bilox. Overtime the French language has evolved, primarily through diffusion with Atlantsiike/West Frisian. French is taught in all Carolinian Primary and Secondary Schools, and all Tertiary Schools larger than 5,000 students must have an ability to accommodate an French speaking student.

Cherokee is not recognized as a national language of Carolina, due to the small size of the area it is spoke in, however if considered a mother-tongue in Carolina. Cherokee is nearly exclusively used in the state of Qualla, and is found throughout the state. The Cherokee language of Carolina is considered to be more original than the version in Oklahoma, often considered American Cherokee. That is because the Cherokee of North Carolina have been confined to their current state for over two centuries, while most of the American Cherokee have picked up either French or English influences from their move in the 1820's. Cherokee is taught as a second language in some high-level high schools, however is not commonly found. All Tertiary Schools larger than 5,000 students must have an ability to accommodate an Cherokee speaking student.

Spanish is considered a common language in Carolina, however is not considered an official language or a mother-tongue. Spanish has been present in Carolina since the Spanish takeover of the Warsiene Islands in 1689. More recently, Spanish is being brought to Carolina from Cuban refugees and Latin American immigrants. Most primary and secondary schools teach Spanish as a second language, however native Spanish speakers are expected to learn the native tongue of their region. Therefore, colleges and universities do not have to provide accommodations for Spanish speaking students.

Frisian, German, Swedish and Chinese are all found in Carolina, however only make up a very small percentage the population. In the 2012 National Education Standards of Carolina, learning another native Carolinian tongue (Atlantsiike, English, French) other than their own, is a requirement to receive a high school diploma or GED.

Religion
The Carolinian Constitution guarantees the free practice of religion, and says that the practice of religion can not be obstructed by the government. However the Gearkomste can and has passed a bill to make Christianity the official religion of Carolina. This is highly debated in Carolina with some advocating for Carolina to have no official religion. Carolina is a deeply Christian nation, with nearly 87% of the population identifying as Christians. Of that 87%, 73% identify as protestant and 27% identify as Catholic or another branch of Christianity. Baptists collectively form the largest branch of Protestantism, and the Southern Baptist Convention is the largest individual Protestant denomination. About 26% of Carolinian's identify as Evangelical Protestants, while 15% are Mainline and 7% belong to a traditionally Black church. Roman Catholicism in Carolina originates from Spanish and French colonization of the Americas, and later grew because of Irish, Italian, Polish, German and Hispanic immigration.

Most of Carolina is a part of the North American Bible Belt, which stretches from North Carolina to West Texas and south from Orlando to central Virginia. Socially conservative Evangelical Protestantism is a significant part of the culture and Christian church attendance across the denominations is generally higher than the nation's average. South Florida is considered the major outlyer to this, which is seemingly less religious than the rest of Carolina.
