 == Demographics ==
+Ceylonia is a very diverse country. In the 2030 Ceylon Census, it was determined that the country had a population of 37,553,282, making it the 40th most populous country in the world. As of 2035, it is estimated that around 41 million inhabitants live in Ceylonia, with that number projected to grow to around 56 million by 2050. The life expectancy in Ceylonia is 81 years, one of the highest in Crona, increasing from 75 years in 1990. Ceylonia is a rapidly- growing country.
 === Language ===
+Ceylonia has one official language, the [[Yapokee language]]. [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]], and [[Tierradorian language|Tierradorian]] are considered to be national languages. It is estimated that over 84% of the country’s population is bilingual. Along with the three aforementioned languages, Ceylonia recognizes 38 different linguistic groups, including the 27 tribal languages spoken in the devolved tribal nations of the country. Besides Yapokee, [[Lahunatl]] is the most widely spoken of these tribal languages, with over 1.4 million speakers, all within the borders of the Lahunatl tribal nation, closely followed by the [[Kashakee]], [[Oscaja]], [[Chauakee]], and [[Bausiji]] languages. Ceylonia is the only Lusophonic nation in Crona, with it being used by about 17 million Ceylonians. Despite the many different linguistic groups, Yapokee is considered the “standard language” for all day-to-day activities within the country, and it is required that every student learn the language upon entering school, with the option to learn either Tierradorian or Cartadanian in later grades, with most students choosing the latter language due to the vast colonial history with Cartadania.
 === Education ===
+As of 2033, the literacy rate in Ceylonia is 95.88%, with numbers being relatively equal for both males and females. The [[Equal Education Act of 1962]] completely reformed the country’s education, and was one of the catalysts to Ceylonia’s vast economic growth in the early 1980’s.
+It is required that children attend yearly schooling from ages 5 to 18, for 10 out of the 12 months, typically with a two-month long summer break in June and July. Education is free for public schools, however parents have the option to send their children to a private school, if they are able to afford. However, education in private and public schools are generally the same, with some minor differences between the two.
+Once the student graduates from school, they have the option to enter the workforce or attend a public university. Students are mostly recommended to attend university, as it is free and offers many great opportunities for their career. According to global university rankings, the publicly-funded [[National University of Santa Maria]] is the highest rated university in the country. Other prominent universities in the country include the [[East Sachia Polytechnic Institute]], [[Antakee University]], and [[Universidade Baías dos Cocos]].
 === Health ===
+The [[Health Act of 1929]] requires that all Ceylonian citizens have access to free healthcare. The Ceylon Health Service is the regulatory agency responsible for enforcing the Health Act, and receives one of the highest amount of government funding of any regulatory agency. Ceylonia’s healthcare system is very similar to Tierrador’s system, with the CHS devolving its operations based on the 36 qoyalets of the country, with the CHS national office acting as the main authority behind the qoyalet offices. As of 2034, the Ceylon government spends about $3,600 per person on healthcare. Funding is usually allocated by the country’s financial intake for the previous year, along with a significant portion being taken from federal tax revenues. Citizens can opt out of CHS healthcare, but rarely do so because 7% of their yearly income is taken to fund the health system.
 === Religion ===
+Ceylonia has no official language. [[Catholic Church|Catholicism]] is the most widespread religion in the country, with about 59% of Ceylonians belonging to the church. About 29% of Ceylonians practice one of the many indigenous folk languages seen throughout the country. The remaining 20% follow Islam, Kapuhenasa, Judaism, and Protestant Christianity.

+Sports are very important in Ceylonian culture. [[w:Association football|Football]] is the most popular sport in the country, with about 1.7 million registered players in 76,000 clubs. The [[Ceylon Primeira Liga]] is the highest level for football in the country, being contested by the 18 best clubs every year from August to May. The “big three” of Ceylon football clubs ([[Sporting Clube Ceilonia|Sporting CC]], [[S.S.M. Tagão|Tagão]] and [[Futebol Clube East Sachia|FC East Sachia]]) are the three most popular clubs in the country, share the top 3 most titles in both the Primeira Liga and the [[Taça Ceilonia]], and are the only 3 clubs to have never been relegated from the top flight. Some of the greatest Ceylon footballers include [[Joaõ Moreira]], [[Ciríaco Cavaco]], [[Tristão Dantas]], and [[Vítor Sapateiro]]. Some Ceylon football managers are also very well-known, including [[Viriato Bandeira]] and [[José Pimentel]]. The [[Ceylon national football team]] has won the [[UCFA|Cronan Championship]] once, in 1999, where they defeated Arcerion 2–1. The country qualified for the [[WAFF World Cup]] 8 times, with their best finish being in the 2006 quarterfinal.

+Despite the country’s climate not typically being in favor of the sport, [[w:Ice Hockey|ice hockey]] still is the second-most popular sport in Ceylonia. The [[Orixtal Hockey League|OHL]] has two clubs based in Ceylonia: the [[Santa Maria Blazers]], who have won 2 Watson Cups in their franchise history, and the [[East Sachia Tubarões]], who have won 1 [[King of Tapkoii Trophy]]. Some notable Ceylon hockey players include [[Timoteo Sequeira]], [[Adriano Torres]], [[Raymundo Cabral]], and [[Rubinho Cordeiro]]. The [[Ceylon national ice hockey team]] has participated in 6 [[World Cups of Hockey]], with its highest finish being in the 2012 semifinals, where they lost to the eventual champion Tierrador.
+=== Media ===
+There are many different forms of media in Ceylonia. [[Ceilônia Televisão]] is the state-owned public broadcaster in the country, operating five different free-to-air channels. A popular conspiracy theory across the country states that Ceilônia Televisão is politically affiliated with the PpY, the country’s current ruling party, and airs subliminal propaganda through its channels. Ceilônia Televisão has released several statements regarding this theory, but has never outright denied it. The theory has been turned into a recurring joke in the broadcaster’s central office in Santa Maria. Ceilônia Televisão is available in several different languages, including Yapokee, Cartadanian, Tierradorian, and all of the 27 federally recognized tribal languages. Besides Ceilônia Televisão, there are over one hundred television channels, domestic and international, that operate throughout the country.
+In terms of radio, [[Radîyapoké]] is the state-owned radio broadcaster. However, as television usage became more prominent throughout the country, radio usage has declined by a significant percentage. Now, radio broadcasting can only be accessed through a car.
+Paper media is also on the decline. The Ceylon government does not control the paper media in the same sense that it controls both radio and television. The most popular newspaper, the [[Correio Santa Maria]], is the most well-known newspaper service in the country. Other newspaper services include East Sachia-based [[Tempos de Portos]], [[Ceilônia Hoja]], and [[Yapokétaši]].
