Atrassica has a population of over 5.8 million.
Atrassica has a population of over 5.8 million. It is a {{wp|settler society}} whereïn the majority of the population are colonists, and it is often remarked that Atrassican society represents a social and cultural {{wp|microcosm}} of the northern half of [[Great Kirav]], reflecting the regional origins of most settler families. Most of the colonial population have family histories on the island dating at least three generations back, though many are more recent transplants from Great Kirav or elsewhere in the Federacy. The indigenous population is officially enumerated at 10.8% of the total, though the actual number of Atrassicans with substantial indigenous ancestry is much larger, as persons of mixed descent with Coscivian or other colonial ancestry in the male line are considered Coscivians, as are some indigenous families (and even a few whole communities) that adopted Coscivian lifestyles and cultural norms early in the colony's history. Most of the older Atrassican families have ancestral roots in [[Cascada]], [[Ilfenóra]], [[Devahoma]], [[Kernea]], the Upper Kirav, and the [[Great Kirav#North_Coast|Hockey Belt]]. Accordingly, West Coast Marine Coscivian and Arnórian Coscivian are the most spoken Coscivian languages in the territory after Kiravic.
 
The majority of the population are colonists, and most of the colonial population have family histories on the island dating at least three generations back, though many are more recent transplants from Great Kirav or elsewhere in the Federacy. The indigenous population is officially enumerated at 22.8% of the total, though the actual number of Atrassicans with substantial indigenous ancestry is much larger, as persons of mixed descent with Coscivian or other colonial ancestry in the male line are considered Coscivians, as are some indigenous communities that adopted Coscivian lifestyles and cultural norms early in the territory's history. Most of the older Atrassican families have ancestral roots in [[Cascada]], [[Ilfenóra]], [[Devahoma]], [Statenexttoit], the North Coast of Great Kirav, and [[Æonara]]. Accordingly, Æonaran Coscivian and Arnórian Coscivian are the most spoken Coscivian languages in the territory after Kiravic.


Many smaller Coscivian ethnic communities live in the island's interior, in ethnically homogeneous {{wp|block settlements}} and coöperative/communal "[[Settlement Movement|movement settlements]]". These include Rísuvic Coscivians, known for their complex polysynthetic language, Qihuxian Coscivians, and an intentional community of the small Ârunav Coscivian ethnic group founded in a remote {{wp|black spruce}} forest for the purpose of reviving their critically endangered language.
