Gerrians

Gerrians (Spanish: Gerrianos) are a large micro national cultural heritage group. They are geographically distributed across the entirety of Gerria as will as most of the Western United States and parts of Northern Mexico. They evolved from the proto-Gerrian homeland in eastern Texas during the late 1700s to the early 1800s and has since expanded farther westward in the mountainous area in the Western United States. They also have diaspora populations in southern Alberta of Canada as well as parts of Louisiana, California, Nevada, Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska and in some Mexican states such as Durango, Hidalgo, Sonora and Veracruz.
Present day Gerrians are classified into four groups: The West Gerrians (chiefly the Idahoans, Montanans, Utahns, Coloradans, and Wyomingites), the East Gerrians (chiefly the Arizonans, New Mexicans, and Texans), the North Gerrians (chiefly the Kansans and the Oklahomans), and the South Gerrians (chiefly the Cohuilans, Chihuahuans, Nuevo Leónese, and Tamaulipans).
The overwhelming majority of Gerrians are either ethnically White Europeans or Ethnically Hispanic, some of them are indigenous people. Indigenous Gerrian tribes include the Navajo, Apache, Comanche, Kiowa, Kickapoo, Alabama, Blackfeet, Arapaho, Hopi, Shoshone, etc.
Most Gerrian are Christian worshipping peoples, though many of them are Catholic and others are Southern Baptist, some West Gerrians also practice Mormonism. A few Gerrians are Islamic and Jewish.
Modern Gerrians are culturally and socially diverse, though most of them don’t realize they are called "Gerrians". They often go with "Americans" or "Mexicans" instead. Relations between them would often range from mutually beneficial to often hostile relations. Even within the individual groups themselves.
As of 2023, The current number of Gerrian people are estimated to be 75,670,070.
Gerrians primarily speak English, though some in the south speak Spanish, especially Gerrian English and Gerrian Spanish.
== Ethnonym ==
The Gerrian ethnonym can be traced back to 2022, during the Gerrian Empire's establishment in northwestern Harris County, Texas. The term used to apply only to people from Northwestern Harris county. Until extending the term to cover much of central North America in 2023.
The Gerrian government considers those in the mountainous region to voluntarily follow Gerrian cultural traditions and heritages as of 2023. Gerrian culture is a mix of European and Hispanic culture.
The reconstructed autonym of the entire Gerrian race is named after Geraldine Posada, A Mexican-American business woman whose name herself (Geraldine) is a feminine form of the given name "Gerald" with the feminine suffix "-ine" added to it. The name itself derives of Old French, ultimately a portmanteau of Frankish words "*gaiʀ" (spear) and "*wald" (power), therefore, the name of the Gerrians literally means "spear rulers". And the name of the country of Gerria literally means "land of powerful spears".
