The majority of the Sarolastan population is of indigenous {{wp|Austronesian}} stock with some degree of colonial Coscivian (''[[Kolakoskem|farakoskix]]'') admixture. 25-32% are fully or primarily of "Sea Coscivian" ancestry. There are many specific ''[[Kolakoskem|kolakoskem]]'' ethnicities formed by intermarriage between one Coscivian subgroup and one indigenous people, in a fascinating confluence of the Coscivian ''[[tuva]]'' system with indigenous tribal networks. The largest of these hybrid communities are the Paisonic-Aymang and Paisonic-Ailmao. The Sea Coscivian contribution to the Sarolastan cultural ''mélange'' is provided mainly by Paisonic, Lusan, Kastrovan, Eskean, Tebnan, Kerēgulan, Vèuskan, [the usual seafaring groups], Æonaran/Umcaran, and Westcoastmarine/Serradan Coscivians. There is also a degree of [[Tierradorian]] admixture in some ''kolakoskem'' populations. | |||
Unmixed Austronesians account for most of the remainder of the population that are not part of the Coscivian macroëthnicity. Most of the populations of the outer islands (except the [[Katorue]] archipelago) remain fully Austronesian in terms of ancestry, identity, and culture. On Grand Sarolasta, pockets of pure Austronesian habitation are found in certain areas, often coastal and invariably rural. | |||
Beyond the Coscivian and indigenous populations, various minority groups exist. The largest of these is made up of Sarolastans of Daxian or mixed Daxian-Austronesian descent, followed by Sarolastans of Tierradorian or mixed Tierradorian-Austronesian descent outside of the Coscivian matrix. Metzei and {{wp|Crackas|Sarpo-Levantine people}} can be found in major urban centres. | |||

For example, some 1,896 ethnic Loa belonging to the [[Uelamanpu'ue Clan]] live mostly in Leviti. Sarolasta also harbours a significant share of the [[Polynesian Sea Muslim diaspora]]. | ||
During the exile period, the Federalist government implemented major reforms on Sarolasta to prevent rebellion. This included recognising all native and miscegenated communities practicing monotheism, monogamy, ''[[tuva]]'', and [other key Coscivian hallmarks] as Coscivians and inviting their customary kings and chieftains to pledge fealty to the [[Basswood Emperor]]. | During the exile period, the Federalist government implemented major reforms on Sarolasta to prevent rebellion.

76% of Sarolastans adhere to the Catholic Church, overwhelmingly to the Coscivian Rite. Minority Christian sects include the Coscivian Orthodox and Independent Orthodox churches, Æglasta-i-Xristul, and Mormonism. Some Kastrovans and Kastrovan-Kolakoskem are Insular Apostolic. Among the ''[[Kolakoskem|Farakoskem]]'' population there are minorities adhering to Ruricanism, Iduanism, and Komarism. | 76% of Sarolastans adhere to the Catholic Church, overwhelmingly to the Coscivian Rite.

The Polynesian population of Sarolasta maintains a fairly standard system of kinship, tribalism, and chieftaincy similar to other indigenous peoples of the region. The native system of tribes and chiefdoms has been partially absorbed into the Coscivian ''tuva'' system among those communities who were naturalised during the mid-20th century pursuant to the Sarolasta Reform Act. | The Polynesian population of Sarolasta maintains a fairly standard system of kinship, tribalism, and chieftaincy similar to other indigenous peoples of the region.
