Castadilla's population is described as being highly diverse, but research on Castadillaan ethnicity has shown the impact that nationalistic discourses have made on cultural identities. Ever since independence from [[Pelaxia]] in 1852, the regimes which have governed Delepasia from 1852 until 1989 have all promoted the view that all colonial subjects in the [[Viceroyalty of Los Rumas]] at the time of independence and their descendants are part of the [[Delepasians|Delepasian]] community, within which they were all considered legally indistinguishable from one another regardless of genealogy and ethnicity. Because of this, which was further spurred on by [[Delepasian exceptionalism]], the Delepasian community has historically been seen as a "{{wp|melting pot}}" as multiple Occidental immigrants that have migrated to the Delepasian polities in the 19th Century, such as Yonderrans and Larianans, among others, were noted to have largely assimilated to the point that many fusion cultures and languages were nearly driven to extinction due to strict pelaxianisation policies of the ''[[Estado Social (Castadilla)|Estado Social]]'' regime.

It was not until the late 1940s when the effects of these policies were reversed and resisted with the most notable case being the [[Braivins]], the descendants of Cogenio-Sarpic convicts who were forcibly sent to Vallos from the 16th Century until 1710, who have embraced a cultural and linguistic revival in defiance of the ''Estado Social''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s assimilationist policies. | ||
The second-largest ethnic group is the [[Taineans]], people who have descended from passengers of the [[Heaven Ships]] and have intermarried with the indigenous [[Vallosi people]]. In what is now Castadilla, the Taineans have enjoyed more rights than the Taineans of most other Vallosi nations.

Family structures for the Delepasians in Castadilla have largely revolved around the standard {{wp|nuclear family}} structure that is usually found throughout the [[Occident]], with a mother, a father, and multiple children who inherit their father's surname all within one single family unit. However, this form of family structure is not exclusive, and may even be nonexistent in certain parts of the country. For example, the Taineans practice a more matrilineal form of family structure as well as a system similar to the clan systems found in most Celtic countries. Most Tainean tribes are headed by a kasike, who serves as the chief of the tribe with the succession laws determining the kasike's heir being based on a matrilineal seniority. This means that a Tainean chiefly line of succession revolves around the oldest living female member of the tribe, thus if the matriarch dies then a new heir is chosen from the senior most descendant of the new matriarch. As such, the new chief of a Tainean tribe will not necessarily be a close relative of the previous chief. | Family structures for the Delepasians in Castadilla have largely revolved around the standard {{wp|nuclear family}} structure that is usually found throughout the [[Occident]], with a mother, a father, and multiple children who inherit their father's surname all within one single family unit.

''Tiras gráficas'' ("graphic strips"), abbreviated ''TGs'' and known internationally as "Delepasian comics", refers to {{wp|comics}} made in Delepasia and Castadilla and were originally in [[Castadillaan Pelaxian|Pelaxian]]. Castadilla has had a long tradition in comics which has emerged independently from the traditions in [[Levantia]], [[Alstin]], and [[Asteria]]. The earliest Delepasian comics were published in the 1880s, typically as visual short stories of at least five panels that were published in {{wp|newspapers}}, but these stories were published with no continuity in mind and were seen as one-offs. However, it would not be until 1927 with the publication of ''[[Xabier Cabaleiro in Argyrea]]'', the first volume of the comic serial ''[[The Life and Times of Xabier Cabaleiro]]'', that the modern Delepasian comic format took form. Stories would become serialised as a result, with portions of the entire story being published across multiple editions of a newspaper which served as the primary distribution of comics until the cultural liberalisation of the 1950s when these comics began to be published in a dedicated magazine with each issue containing numerous portions of serialised comics. The biggest of these magazines is ''[[Xabier Cabaleiro (magazine)|Xabier Cabaleiro]]'' which started publication in 1948 and continues to publish new issues to this day. | |||
''The Life and Times of Xabier Cabaleiro'' is one of the most internationally well-known series of Delepasian comics. Created in 1937 by husband-and-wife team [[Xulian Padin]] (1901-1997) and [[Olalla Fidalgo]] (1899-2001), the series is about the titular character, an {{wp|anthropomorphic}} {{wp|fox}} in his mid-20s who works as a {{wp|professor}} of {{wp|anthropology}} at the [[Universidade Mauricio Delepas|Mauricio Delepas University]] and goes on numerous adventures during his {{wp|Sabbatical|sabbaticals}}. He is always accompanied by his good friend Fernan Lopes, an anthropomorphic {{wp|dog}} in his early 30s who works as a freelance reporter. In a 1998 interview, co-creator Olalla Fidalgo admitted that she created the character Xabier Cabaleiro as an idealised version of her husband Xulian and that the character Fernan Lopes was named after a good friend of Padin's. Presently, the series continues with new stories published under the authorship of [[Celsa Padin]], granddaughter of Padin and Fidalgo. The popularity of the series has also led to the creation of the domestically-produced animated series ''[[Padin & Fidalgo's Xabier Cabaleiro]]'' which ran from 1954 to 1961, the Delepasio-Oyashimane anime ''[[The Life and Times of Xabier Cabaleiro (TV series)|The Life and Times of Xabier Cabaleiro]]'' which ran from 1978 to 1983, the Delepasio-Tierradorian animated series ''[[The Adventures of Xabier Cabaleiro]]'' which ran from 1993 to 1995, and the animated movie ''[[The Life and Times of Xabier Cabaleiro (film)|The Life and Times of Xabier Cabaleiro]]'' which was released in 2019. | |||
