{{ | With a population of over two hundred million, Pelaxia is the third-most populous country in [[Sarpedon]] with only [[Caphiria]] and [[Cartadania]] having a higher population. Pelaxia's population grows by 1.4% annually. Although historically Pelaxia has pursued strict assimilationist policies which have included {{wp|linguistic discrimination}} against not only dialects of the [[Pelaxian language]] but also non-Pelaxian languages such as {{wp|Venetian language|Savrian}} and {{wp|Aromanian language|Montanaran}} as well as so-called "cultural shaming", since the end of the [[National Restoration (Pelaxia)|National Restoration]] these policies have been dismantled by successive democratic governments with the rise in both [[Montanaro nationalism|Montanaro]] and [[Savria nationalism|Savria]] nationalisms. | ||

Pelaxia has a diverse population, the result of a legacy of being a component of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]] which held a highly tolerant attitude towards a multicultural society. However, the assimilationist policies pursued in the 19th Century did a lot to almost completely undo the centuries of tolerance with [[Raul Solis]], the first president of the [[Third Pelaxian Republic]], taking great pride in having never seen a Latin in his hometown and having held a long-time disdain towards the Isurian minority. It would not be until the 1950s and 1960s when the federal government reverted these policies which happened to precede the rise in modern Montanaro and Savrian nationalisms which still exist to this day. | |||
Ethnic Pelaxians are the most numerous ethnic group in the country, making up just less than half of the total population. Pelaxians are predominantly of Latinic and Urlazian ancestry, but many have reported having minor genealogical links to Isurians, Cartadanians, Savrians, and even to the Urlazio-Sarpic peoples such as [[Volonians]] and Montanarans. However, the Pelaxian ethnic group did not emerge until the late 15th Century with the signing of the [[Union of Termia]]; prior to the Union, what are now considered to be Pelaxians were split across many different Urlazian groups such as Termians, Agrilans, Albalitorians, and Jusonians among others, and even after the Union it was not until the [[First Pelaxian Republic]] that a unified Pelaxian identity would emerge and integrate the many Pelaxiophone ethnic groups into one group. | |||
Montanarans make up the second-most populous ethnic group in Pelaxia where they make up nearly nineteen percent of the total population. A Urlazio-Sarpic group, the Montanarans are culturally and linguistically related to the [[Volonians]], and have settled in what is now Pelaxia in | |||
