The largest Coscivian ethnosocial groups are the Paisonic Coscivians (and their various subgroups, particularly Síkutrans) and Ærans, who together account for around 40% of the state's population. Both groups are present in large numbers throughout the state, with the Paisonics being slightly more prominent in eastern and northern Niyaska and the Ærans being slightly more prominent in western and southern Niyaska. Every countyship has either a Paisonic or an Æran plurality. | The largest Coscivian ethnosocial groups are the Paisonic Coscivians (and their various subgroups, particularly Síkutrans) and Ærans, who together account for around 40% of the state's population.

Vilamans and Kaśuvans have a vibrant presence in County Hersek, which is also home to one of the largest Lusan populations on the eastern seaboard. Eskean Coscivians are present throughout the state in small numbers and are credited with establishing the first "Niyaska eateries" (see below), most of which are still owned and operated by Eskean families today. | ||
The Niyaskan [[Kir people|Kir]], or "Old Niyaskans" are now a small minority in their traditional homeland, and account for only 42% of the state's ethnic Kir population, most of whom have [[Ancestral home (Kiravia)|ancestral homes]] in the Kiygrava, Etivéra, or elsewhere. Old Niyaskan-majority settlements are found mostly in rural South Niyaska and a rapidly shrinking rural corridor in County Manôt. | |||
The ''Marithāruv'' ("Meadow people"), an ethnic group of mixed descent from Tapkek aboriginals and various groups of early Coscivian settlers, inhabit many wetland areas of the state, where their community cohesion and traditional way of life are increasingly threatened by encroaching urban development and environmental degradation. | |||
The Isvɚ̯x Road Albinos, a small community of 80-250 people with {{wp|albinism}}, thought to be of either Coscivian or mixed Coscivian-Aboriginal extraction, live in an area of pine-cedar forest and scrubland in County Manôt. Although accorded Scheduled Tribe status by the federal government and have been under a protective order from the state government since 21182, the Albinos occasionally come into conflict with residents of the expanding exurban communities in their vicinity. | The Isvɚ̯x Road Albinos, a small community of 80-250 people with {{wp|albinism}}, thought to be of either Coscivian or mixed Coscivian-Aboriginal extraction, live in an area of pine-cedar forest and scrubland in County Manôt.

Niyaska is home to the largest population of [[Sarolasta|Sarolastans]] on the Eastern Seaboard. | |||
Due to its maritime history, proximity to [[Valēka]], and impressive post-Kirosocialist economic growth, Niyaska has a substantial non-Coscivian population that includes Celtic-Kiravians and other National Minorities, Levantine-Kiravians, Caphirian-Kiravians, Melotes, Corummese, and Metzettans. | |||
