Rusani settlement was also allowed and even nurtured as in the past the ethnicity served to create an extra layer of contact between the Corummese and locals. Rusani are typically found in the lower bureaucracy and as small business owners. There are three mosques on the island available for practicing Rusani muslims, the International Friendship Masjid in Uxma-2, the Abu Molokas Mosque in [[Moloka]] and the Center of Islamic Study in [[Kogorun]]. Racial intermixing was strictly banned until 1998 when controls were loosened, though it is still looked down upon and discouraged by most Corummese families. The island's society has a clear cut stratification of its ethnic groups with the Corummese at the top followed by the Rusani and Axolotl, Varshanis and Quetzi occupy the lower rungs of the social pyramid. | Rusani settlement was also allowed and even nurtured as in the past the ethnicity served to create an extra layer of contact between the Corummese and locals.

The island's economy revolves around fishing, shipping and manufacturing and industrial operations in addition to the dockyards operated by the Corummese Navy. Due to the limited availabily of land, there is only small scale horticulture in the form of hydroponics of cash crops such as tomato, squash and strawberries. Most of the food is imported from Kiravian [[Porfíria]] or from [[Xisheng]] via ship. Cao's fishing fleet is one of the largest in the region and fans far out through the Nysdra Sea and the Northern approaches during the fishing seasons in search of bluefin tuna, Nysdra mackerel and the infamous green crab which is a staple of regional dishes. The delimitation of the [[New Harren]] and Cao exclusive economic zones has been a topic of negotiation between [[Urcea]] and [[Corumm]] due to disputes over fishing rights. | The island's economy revolves around fishing, shipping and manufacturing and industrial operations in addition to the dockyards operated by the Corummese Navy.
