All country names are singular nouns; demonyms are plural-only nouns of the 1h declension - the singular for each one is <small>GEN</small> + ''lila'' (e.g. ''chlǣvānumi lila'' "a Chlouvānem person"). The genitive plural is also used as an adjective.

Note how many country names (and their associated demonyms) for major Evandorian countries (plus Spocius) come from Nâdjawārre, the lingua franca in the large area east of Evandor called ''Vīṭadælteh'' (itself a Nâdja borrowing from ''wírdaryȁngdé'') - which even today is exactly between Evandor and the Inquisition. Only Chlouvānem and Fathanic kept such toponyms for all of these countries - nowadays even languages of the Nâdjasphere that had them have shifted to more Evandorian names for all or at least most of them.<br/>

Such names date to the first contacts between Nâdja people and Evandorians and are thus borrowed from Kalese. Only Chlouvānem and Fathanic kept such toponyms for all of these countries - nowadays even languages of the Nâdjasphere that had them have shifted to names more close to the native ones for all or at least most of them (cf., for Ceria, the old Nâdjawārre name ''Djérrēdjeryȁngdé'' (through Kalese), whence Chl. ''jerajrælteh'', and the modern ''Tjeriiryȁngdé'' from Cerian).<br/>
Transcontinental countries, in the tables below, are listed in all continents where they occupy a part of the ''mainland''; islands in other continents that are part of the metropolitan territory are only counted if they form a significant (i.e. at least one-fifth) part of the territory and/or population. (Therefore, for example, the Inquisition is not counted as transcontinental despite the Kāyīchah Islands being geographically in Védren). Due to unclear definitions on where the Evandor/Márusúturon border actually lies north of the Síluren mountains, all of Gathuráni is counted as Evandorian.
