Suderavia is home to a considerable population of [[Abrigalasts]], representing one of the largest and oldest Abrigalast communities in Ixnay. The Abrigalasts of Suderavia arrived fairly early in the history of their faith, having fled persecution in South Levantia and been welcomed by the Covine government of the time to cultivate its more marginal lands. Most Suderavian Abrigalasts do not respond to the Federal Census, but there are estimated to be about 5,000, with around 60% living in Abrigalast settlements, though figures for urban Abrigalasts are likely underreported. Although they are mainly of Levantine ancestry, Suderavian Abrigalasts have spoken Suderavian Coscivian as their native language for centuries.


Due to the impact of communist rule, Suderavia has a larger non-religious population and lower rates of religious participation than most Kiravian states. Rates of religious adherence and participation have risen consistently since liberation, though the KF Conference of Catholic Bishops has noted that intellectual understanding of Church doctrine remains low among Suderavian Catholics due to the long suppression of religious education.
