==History==

The prehistory of northern Crona remains largely unknown, as both archæological and indigenous folklore studies are still in their initial stages. It is currently presumed that the ancestors of the ~~Maïoki~~ people were the first humans to settle in the area, leading a lifestyle of low-intensity slash-and-burn agriculture supplemented by hunting and fishing.

It is currently presumed that the ancestors of the Mannakee people were the first humans to settle in the area, leading a lifestyle of low-intensity slash-and-burn agriculture supplemented by hunting and fishing.

Colonial Porfíria's history begins in {{H:title|1607 AD|20787}} when the Kiravian navigator Xaridur Ithorian formally took possession of the island of [[Rovaīon]] for the [[Confederate Republics of Kiravia]] and established the settlement of Dun Érskin ("Fort [[Méaðrán Érscin|Érskin]]"). [Blah blah early history of Rovaīon here]

Line 73:

Although not as highly developed as its offshore neighbour [[Rovaīon]], Porfíria has a growing and diversifying economy based on a strong primary sector - including agriculture, mining, and the harvesting of timber and fish - and supplemented by transportation, resource processing, and service industries.

The climate and terrain of Porfíria are quite similar to that of Great Kirav, and colonists have had great success cultivating Kiravian staple crops such as potato, cale, barley, and oats. Crops native to Cusinaut, such as ''sallaw'' and clubfruit, are also cultivated, both by the indigenous population and on settler-owned land. Livestock raising is an important activity, focused on sheep and {{wp|Aterandic mountain camels|guanacos}} introduced from Great Kirav. As a result of the {{wp|distributist}} land tenure policies adopted during colonisation and their continuation in the colony's own property laws, most settler-held agricultural land is family-owned and organised into parcels ranging from medium-sized estates to small, single-family homesteads. Most native-held agricultural land is owned collectively, either by tribes and clans according to traditional {{wp|customary law}} or by the governments of the autonomous ''~~Maīokidan~~'' territories. Forestry is also an important industry, and Porfíria is a rising producer of softwood timber, pine resins, and paper products.

==Demographics==

<strike>The majority of the territory's population is made up of indigenous Cronites. Most Cronites living within the boundaries of Porfíria belong to the ~~Maïoki~~ cultural and linguistic cluster dominant across northern Crona, the exceptions being three Tyohuxul-speaking tribes on the territory's southern frontier and one tribe on Irasúcróva island of undetermined linguistic affinity. To date, twenty separate Cronite tribes have been identified and contacted in Porfíria.

To date, twenty separate Cronite tribes have been identified and contacted in Porfíria.

No census has yet been conducted in the territory, but government estimates place the number of colonists in the territory around half a million. Ethnically, [[Ĥeldican Coscivians]] and Kiravian Celts comprise a plurality of the population, many of them coming from the rugged maritime and mountain regions of northern Great Kirav, the Talavéiscan colonies, and Cèuvara. [[Deep South Coscivians]] from the [[Sydona Islands]] also have a major presence in the colony, as do Northern Coscivian groups (particularly the Ískem), Lúnstem, Sëoran Coscivians, Kaskem, and Saskem. Fishermen put out of work by the 21205 oil spill in the Strait of Canucróva and small farmers from Northwestern Great Kirav make up a large share of Porfíria's settler population.

Line 122:

Læstorianism is the third-largest religion in the colony, practised mostly among Northern Coscivians and Lúnstem. Islam is also present in the colony, and while there are only two registered Islamic congregations in the territory (one Sunni and another Shi'a, both located in Érscinsar), the actual practice of Islam is likely larger than this would suggest, especially since [[Absurrania|UIF troops]] have been stationed in the colony.

A small community of Apostolic monks lives near the northern extremity of [[Rovaīon]], where they are involved with education and evangelisation activities in two neighbouring ~~Maïoki~~ villages.
