Politics & Governance
Society & Culture
The ethnic makeup of the Sakhalins is 91% Coscivian, 6% Celtic, and 3% other (including Sarpic, Old Sydonan, and Corummese).
The largest Coscivian ethnic groups in the Sakhalins are the Sëorans (Käloatem, Vespâniem, Koralem, Ibusckem), Dark Coscivians (Iruktem, Kibirskem, Krôysanyem), Caspoärians (Stelanoviem, Cervoniem), Pineratem, and Túkluskans, who were resettled from Old Coscivia and poorer areas of the Federacy. The military bases and larger towns are home to Kiravians of various other ethnic backgrounds.
Economy
The economy of the Saxalin Islands is built atop a strong primary sector. The two most important components of the primary sector are offshore oil and gas extraction and nickel mining on [island]. Several other minor mineral deposits are also currently being mined.
The most profitable agricultural venture in the Sakhalins is the raising of sheep for wool. Hogs, goats, and a small number of Highland Ginger cows are also reared. Crop farming on the islands is limited mostly to staple foods such as potato, cale, barley, and rye, as well as feed crops for livestock.
