No, no.  The other Romance languages and their associated nation-states
are alive and well.  *That* universe has in general a little more
tolerance for "polynomic" standards than *this* one, is all: Occitan
and Catalan are doing better *there* than *here*, as is (obviously)
Brithenig.  But politically, locality counts for more than language:
the closest ties of the Kingdom of Kemr are to other British
states.
