 ===== History =====
-The planet Tremerine's inhabitants are not its original natives. Rather, Human colonists arrived by sublight sleeper-ship more than 4000 years ago. The colony ship was partially destroyed in the landing after centuries of travel had damaged its systems, and much advanced scientific knowledge was lost with the ship.
+The planet Tremerine's inhabitants are not its original natives. Rather, Human colonists arrived by sublight sleeper-ship around 3000 years ago. The colony ship was partially destroyed in the landing after centuries of travel had damaged its systems, and much advanced scientific knowledge was lost with the ship.
 Soon the planet's natives, aquatic humanoids, took notice and investigated the landing site. Finding the colonists to be peaceable, the natives eventually began trade and showed the colonists how to navigate the complex waterways and shallow seas of the planet, which the colonists had dubbed "Tresmars" after their translation of the native name for the world; "The Three Seas".

 Around 100 years ago, the first Tremerian Faster-Than-Light drives began to be built, and they began their exploration of nearby systems. Today, Tremerian merchants ply routes not only from island to island, but from planet to planet and star to star.
 ===== Demographics =====
-Population, language, religion, health, education, etc.
+==== Population ====
+Currently, the entire population of the Tremerine Union, which sits at around 10 billion, is Tremerian. While Tremerians vary in skin color from whiter tones to dark browns, depending on where their ancestors had settled on the planet, there is no tension to speak of caused by such, due to the historical interchange of populations enabled by the sea.
+==== Language ====
+Tremerian is the language of the planet Tremerine. In essence, it is extremely corrupted [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occitan_language|Occitan]], with many loan words from the original natives of Tremerine.
+==== Religion ====
+Officially, Tremerine is a secular nation as no religion had ever been widespread enough for adoption as an official religion. Despite this, the practice of worshiping local deities has been picked up from the natives and retained over the millennia, with many hundreds being worshiped in small pockets.
 ===== Government and Politics =====
 The Tremerian Union is, officially, the federal government of the Tremerine people. While this central government handles international affairs and national-level decisions and lawmaking, governance of the daily lives of the citizenry is almost exclusively managed by local governments.
