Phetts are traditionally a deeply religious people, following the [[Caropsyne Pantheonist]] religion. There are small minorities of Phetts who worship other deities or local religions, but these a a rarity. Traditionally, Phetts have had a conservative culture, and have invested heavily in the arts. Phett painting, decoration and cuisine have all heavily contributed to Caropsyne identity.

| - | In real terms, many people who claim to be Phetts are not, and many people who reject association with the Phetts are. The majority of "Caropsynes" are of mixed Phett, Lindite and Pelsai heritage. Many of these people, based on their geographical homes or family names may consider themselves to be Phetts. Many Phetts choose to describe themselves as Caropsynes first and Phetts second, as most are of mixed descent. When the term "Phett" is used on the Pontanore census, it refers to people of pure Phett descent, who have not mixed with the other Caropsyne peoples.

Whilst the size of this population is smaller, it is still around 400 million people. The Phett people categorise themselves as Phetts based on their religious practices, cultural practices, and ethnic descent. Whilst people of mixed descent can be counted as Phetts, they must possess a patrilineal line of Phett descent to be recognised by the Nationality Directorate. |
Phetts are interesting in that they have contributed much to the Caropsyne identity, whilst sometimes remaining seperate from it. Typically Caropsyne surnames are usually of Phett roots, from the rich Phett language. The [[Phett Language]] is widely spoken in the Pontanore, although it is a secondary language to Standard Caropsyne. The majority of Phetts are not brought up to speak the Phett Language, although a sizeable minority do speak it. It is thought that around two-thirds of Phetts have a basic knowledge of it, making it the third most spoken language in the Pontanore. | Phetts are interesting in that they have contributed much to the Caropsyne identity, whilst sometimes remaining seperate from it.

Phosmara is also home to large numbers of Phett and Caropsyne-Phett people. It is thought that around 60% of the population there has Phett ancestry, although 85% of Phosmarans classify themselves as Caropsyne, rather than Phett. The same can be said for all Charlian colonies, where even Euvodoran Phetts class themselves primarily as Caropsynes. | Phosmara is also home to large numbers of Phett and Caropsyne-Phett people.
