The country is demographically diverse, with 64% of its population being "of [[Occidental]] descent" (of which 58% identify as [[Bergendii]]), 13% identify as "of Polynesian descent", 8% identify as "of indigenous [[Crona]]n descent", 7% identify as "of [[Audonia|Oduniyyad]] descent", 5% identify as "of [[Alshar]]i descent", and 3% identify as "of other origin" (it is suspected that they are mostly [[Coscivian civilisation|Coscivians]]). The majority of the people live in urbanized coastal areas, have exceedingly high rates of academic attainment, and work in the services sector.

The tenants of {{wp|Calvinism#Social_and_economic_influences|Merchantile Reform Protestantism}} predicate almost all aspects of culture in Equatorial Ostiecia.

In a professional environment men's shirts are typically button downs either with a turnover collar with some form of neckwear, or a Nehru collar without. High-waisted, pleated trousers are also common, without a cuff. Sleeves cut at the wrist and are worn slightly billowy for ventilation. In divergence from common [[Occidental]] styling, on top of these clothes is typically worn a {{wpl|Thawb#Middle_East_and_North_Africa|kandora}}, an ankle-length robe, usually with long sleeves. This is a tradition brought from [[Bergendii]] fleeing the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]] in [[Audonia]] and [[Alshar]] in the early 19th century and its name is both the name of the garment in [[Chaukhira]]n Arabic and after the colony of Kandara. In non-professional settings men typically wear camp shirts and linen trousers. Shorts are frowned upon for grown men.
