Aeneans

An Aeneans is a colloquial term used to describe any of the various people living outside of the major nations of Venus. It is a term used primarily by the people themselves. Most Venusians living in any of the major nations would instead use less cordial terms, such as Dusters, Cravens, Wastelanders, Scum, Devils, or collectively as warbands. The name is a reference to the son of Venus who became the first Roman. Most Aeneans view themselves as being truer to the nature of their planet than those who wish to replicate the mistakes of Earth. The term is gaining in popularity, even to the point that some city dwellers are also taking up the mantle. Though they often do not fully represent the ideals of the rural Aeneans, the sentiment that something is deeply wrong with how Venusian society has aped Earth culture is spreading.
