The largest constituent peoples of the Nysdra Provisional Republic are the Honeoye, who, in 2021, were numbered at more than a half a million people. Their lands exist on the eastern shore of [[Cusinaut]] just to the northeast of the pre-war border of [[New Yustona]]. | |||

The Saranac are the least populous peoples of the Nysdra Provisional Republic, numbering at about 350,000 people. Unlike the other members of the Republic, they are related - albeit distantly - to the [[Algoquona|Algosh]] peoples. Oral traditions, confirmed by scholarly research, indicate that the Saranac broke off from the Algosh due to a difference in [[M%27acunism#Ancestral_worship|Kānenaka]], a concept within the [[M'acunism|M'acunist]] religion relating to ancestor worship. This break is believed to have occurred in the 13th or 14th century. Consequently, the Saranac observe many similar festivals and cultural mores as the Algosh but with what could be described as "regional differences". During Algosh control in the 2010s, the government of [[Algoquona]] actively attempted efforts to culturally integrate the Saranac as within the Algosh people as part of {{wp|state building}} efforts. These efforts, employing differing means of education and force, were actively resisted by the Saranac on socio-political grounds moreso than religious ones, though the underlying religious differences were featured in prominent Saranac rhetoric as well. | |||
===Algosh=== | |||
The [[Algoquona|Algosh]] people are present within the Nysdra Provisional Republic as a significant minority population within each of the four constituent groups and are not considered to be a fifth constituent group. Algosh peoples number about 75,000. Algosh were primarily settled within the lands of the Honeoye, Gowandis, and Canandaguia during the decade of control of the territory of the Republic by [[Algoquona]]. Settlement within Saranac land was discouraged as part of an effort to foster friendly relations with the Saranac as part of the government's larger strategy to integrate them into the Algosh people proper. Algosh minorities within these lands also date, in some cases, to the period of the Northern Confederation, dividing the Algosh into two groups - the so-called "colonist" and "neighbor" groups. Although they retain their Algosh heritage, the "neighbor" groups in many cases have lived in the country for centuries and are largely loyal to local tribal and national leadership rather than the Kaigwa government. The colonist group refers to Algosh who relocated as part of the aforementioned state building efforts, many of whom were garrisoned forces and their families. With the [[Final War of the Deluge]], many of these garrisoned forces returned home or were ejected, but many of the newly arrived families decided to stay and attempt to integrate, having given up most of their belongings to try and begin new lives in the lands of the four peoples. | |||
Both neighbor and colonist groups were subject to considerable prejudice during the establishment of the Republic, with the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Yustona)|Royal and Confederate Army]] eventually having to establish garrisons at Algosh settlements to prevent attacks from the other peoples of the Republic. | |||
