Loa
The Loa are a cultural and ethnic group found predominantly in Vallos, being native to the Republic of Takatta Loa. There is a large Loa diaspora, consisting largely of neighboring Vallosian and Sarpedonian nations, as well as other nations in the Coscivo-Loa Sphere such as Kiravia and Paulastra. The Loa migrated to these nations either during the Takatta Loa Civil War or during the 20th century following the political liberalization of the country and the foundation of the republic, though migration to Coscivian speaking countries also occurred during the first half of the 1900s as well due to close historical ties to Kiravia.

The term Loa refers to a very broad collection of groups unified by a general sense of Loa nationalism, language and broad cultural features. These groups include the Isi Loa who are the progenitors of Loa culture and civilisation, the Loa influenced cultures such as the various mainland Polynesians that were assimilated into the Loa and the many elements of the Loa diaspora. These groups combined constitute the Loa, though all generally recognize the Isi Loa as being the 'ethnic' Loa and the other groups considering themselves as culturally Loa.
