===Demographics===

In [[2014]], Halfway's population was estimated to be 10,582,573. Of these, the vast majority identify themselves as [[Urcean people|Urceans]], speak [[Julian Ænglish]], and are members of the [[Catholic Church]]. However, 82% of the island's population self-described themselves as having part or entirely "[[Istroyan people|Istroyan]] ancestry". Additionally, the Julian Ænglish spoken on Halfway is spoken with a regional accent reminiscent of other places in northeastern Sarpedon, as is the case with many residents of the [[The Islands (Urcea)|Urcean insular region]]. Additionally, significant vocabulary additions from Istroyan have created what some have referred to as the "Halfway dialect", though many of these terms have entered common use as slang throughout Urcea since becoming prominent in Halfway.

===Sports===

Halfway does not have a team from any of the Urcean major leagues, but teams from the major leagues as well as college sports are very popular in the province. The University of Koureiros is the most popular sporting institution on the island. UK, as it is known, is generally competitive at the highest levels of Urcean college basketball on a perennial basis. The primary inter-island competition is at the {{wp|high school}} sports level. Indoor ice hockey at the school level is very popular among both students and spectators due to the island's hot climate. Matches in the Halfway Hockey Varsity Association - HHVA - are well attended and feature the largest on-island sporting arenas; attendance of 2,000 or more for a weekly varsity hockey match is not uncommon.
