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. | 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.

Note that there is a very common term, '''kerultuga''', which is often presented in textbooks for Chlouvānem as a foreign language as the translation for "Evandor". However, ''kerultuga'' more properly refers to Western countries as a cultural concept: while the Western world is basically synonymous with Evandorian-based civilization<ref>All ''contemporary'' Calémerian societies are considered to belong to one of six large civilization groups: Evandorian-based (Evandor, Púríton, Queáten, northern Ceránento), hybrid Evandorian-native (southern Ceránento, Fárásen, Ogúviutón, most of Védren, the Nâdja area, the southern coast of the Carpan Sea), the Spocian world (northern Védren; more or less Evandorian influence is present depending on the area), the Chlouvānem world (including the Brono-Fathanic and Qualdomelic cultures), the Skyrdegan world, and a small series of modern day hybrids of native customs and Chlouvānem-influenced communism (the Kenengyry area) and Evandorian-native-Chlouvānem communist (parts of eastern Védren).</ref>, the term also refers to the former colonies of Evandorian countries in Púríton, northern Ceránento, and Queáten (less so for those of the other continents, which had a different colonization history). Until the Nāɂahilūmi era conquests, all of Vīṭadælteh was considered part of ''kerultuga'', as was the Spocian world until the early Kaiṣamā era. | Note that there is a very common term, '''kerultuga''', which is often presented in textbooks for Chlouvānem as a foreign language as the translation for "Evandor".

The ''-tave'' or similar endings in countries of eastern Vīṭadælteh/former Kaiṣamā (all with related, Kenengyry languages) are always ''-tava'' in Chlouvānem. | The ''-tave'' or similar endings in countries of eastern Vīṭadælteh/former Kaiṣamā (all with related, Kenengyry languages) are always ''-tava'' in Chlouvānem. |
