Because most Argaeans are originally from the [[Burgoignesc Metropole]] they are predominantly [[Catholic]], [[Bergendii]], and [[Burgoignesc language]] speakers. They are very highly educated especially due to the scientific focus of the islands and most children are sent to other parts of [[Burgundie]] for their tertiery and quartiary educations. The average level of academic attainment on the islands is at least a master's degree, but this is skewed because of the number of scientists and academics who call the island their home. The people who work in the service industries are typically only the holders of a bachelor's degree. The Argeaen people, due to the influence of the scientific community, are incredibly climate conscious and can be judgemental of others, even other [[Burgundie|Burgoigniacs]] for what they perceive as willful ignorance to the issues of climate change. However, because they are entirely dependent on external sustenance for survival they carefully balance their ire with a need not to bite the hand that feeds them. There is no unique cuisine on Argaea with the exception of the consuption of penguin and fermented shark meat to supplement their standard, globalized diet. The architecture of Aegaea is designed to withstant the elements. There are very few flat buildings, most of them are domed to add structural strength to support heavy snow loads, or they are steeply angled to quickly rid themselves of the snow. | |||

Because Argaea's economy is a high-low mix of sectors from research to hospitality, opportunities abound for Argaeans at all skill and education levels, which has helped the islands maintain a fairly steady unemployment rate of around 3.4% for the last decade. | |||

[[Burgundie]]'s high emphasis on [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Education|education]] translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less developed countries. The islands' economic diversity cushions against overreliance on any single industry, which has demonstrably made the island more resilient during downturns. Since [[Burgundie]] strives for [[Total Economic Engagement]] and espouses equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, ability, or background, Argaea benefits from improved access to education and training, impacting employment prospects across various fields. | [[Burgundie]]'s high emphasis on [[Culture_in_Burgundie#Education|education]] translates to a particularly educated and skilled workforce, leading to lower unemployment compared to less developed countries.

===Fishing, fisheries, and hunting=== | |||
Fishing and whaling are the only locally sourced foodstuffs on the islands of Argaea. The predominant fish caught in the area are {{wp|Bald Notothen|bald rockcod}}, {{wp|Antarctic cod}}, {{wp|Adamussium colbecki}}, {{wp|Laternula elliptica|Antarctic scallops}}, {{wp|Onykia ingens|greater hooked squid}}, {{wp|colassal squid}}, {{wp|Laternula elliptica|saltwater clams}}, and {{wp|roe}} which make up 80% of the fish caught. Most of the fish is consumed locally, but there are exported contracts with importers in [[Chaukhira]], [[Pursat]], and [[Yanuban]]. Most of this fishing occurs outside of the economic exclusion zone of the islands by the distant-water fishing fleet stationed on the islands, primarily Argaea Minor. These deep-sea trawlers operate in international waters west of Argaea where they can take advantage of the westerlies and the driving currents and are not regulated by any laws or treaties. They work primarily in the [[Absurian Ocean]] and the [[Founders Sea]]. These areas are also used by the whaling fleets stationed on the island. These fleets primarily hunt for {{wp|fin whales}}, {{wp|humpback whales}}, {{wp|sperm whales}}, and {{wp|minke whales}}. The whale blubber, meat, and oil are sold all over the world to willing markets. | |||

tourism industry has quadrupled in size as [[Palacin Holdings]] has opened a number of resort hotels, boutique eco-tourism attractions and lodgings, and three new ski mountains between [[2008]] and [[2032]]. | |||
