The remaining peoples of Caracua who are not part of the fourteen Great Nations are typically referred to as "peripheries" by Occidental scholars. This includes a very broad array of peoples, most prominently including [[Algosh Republic|Algosh people]] but also [[List_of_peoples_of_Cusinaut#A-D|Acuera]] nomads, and many other peoples including mostly {{wp|uncontacted peoples}} at the far northern extreme of the country. | The remaining peoples of Caracua who are not part of the fourteen Great Nations are typically referred to as "peripheries" by Occidental scholars.

Thousands of refugees from [[Varshan]] also now live in Caracua, with the government intermittently allowing settlement of additional groups as labor needs and economic growth may require. | ||

=== Language === | |||
Though Caracua is divided into fourteen Great Nations and hundreds of other peripheral ethnicites, only a few major languages predominate. The Ashkenauk religion is spoken as the first language of about 38% of the population and known fluently by about 70% of the population, making it the primary language of business and state. Most of the other Caracuan Great Nations speak the Rianee and Malki languages, which are the two other official languages of Caracua. The Algosh and Housatonish languages are widely spoken in the eastern part of the country, though federal and state governments have actively discouraged use of these tongues and has attempted to suppress use of the Algosh language in any official economic capacity. | |||

Caracua is [[M'acunism|M'acunist]], which over 90% of the population continuing to adhere to the traditional Cusinauti religion. Caracuan M'acunism mainly follows the [[M%27acunism#Man_school|Man School]] with small minorities from the Plant School and Nature School. Despite being mainly M'acunist, small Christian minorities have appeared throughout post-Asterian history but have been mostly unsuccessful in expansion, mostly due to the rough terrain and cultural divergences between the Great Nations. Only in recent years, since the [[Final War of the Deluge]], have Christian missionaries been more successful in making inroads within Caracuan society. | Caracua is [[M'acunism|M'acunist]], which over 90% of the population continuing to adhere to the traditional Cusinauti religion.
