The population of Washakara is predominantly High Alshari, with an influx of refugees from former Varshan representing a growing number of the population every year.  
Washakaran society is largely distinguished into two major "classes" or "groupings" within Washakaran society - members of the so-called "statutory tribes" and the "transferees". The statutory tribes are tribes who have always occupied the lands consisting of present Washakaran territory, and until the mid-20th century they were the only groups given the right to vote. The transferees are groups of people who were forcibly relocated to Washakara by the governments of [[Paulastra]] and [[Arcerion]]. As the nation has existed for nearly a century and a half, unique cultural traditions have been established among each group as well as those which transcend groupings. Due to close interaction, both politically and culturally, both groups have largely established relatively uniform cultural traditions despite themselves largely originating from dozens of diverse tribes.
===Statutory culture===
The fourteen statutory tribes - those recognized by treaty with [[Paulastra]] - are the predominant cultural group in Washakara with respect to economic presence and public visibility. Statutory culture largely retains many of the cultural traditions and mores present in Washakara for centuries, but has also begun to integrate elements of [[Occidental]] civilization due to statutory wealth and influence of the neighboring powers.
===Transferee culture===
Transferee Washakarans have grown to proudly embrace their heritage despite the negative role the two Occidental nations in [[Crona]] played in its creation. Most transferees have lost specific tribal affiliations and instead identify with a generic indigienous pan-Cronan worldview.
===Immigration===
A major influx of refugees from former Varshan representing a growing part of the population every year.

== Economy ==
The economy of Washakara is very agrarian with limited capital projects or large non-nationalized corporations. Poor government policies, coupled with corruption, have meant that Washakara has traditionally not fared well economically as business tend to prefer either the stable and growing economy of Paulastra to the South, or the deep pockets of Kinnaird, Arcerion to the North. Farming and agriculture still remain a major part of the economy, and frequent droughts or failures to rotate crops due to oversights by the government regularly result in famine and recession. Despite this, the economy manages to export some foodstuffs, despite lacking a major port, usually through Paulastran shipyards.
