With a population of around 200 million, Pelaxia shows a medium to big-sized population by Global standards. Pelaxia depicts an anual population growth rate of 1.4%. Ethnically, the residents of Pelaxia are predominantly ethnic Pelaxian who are of Caphiravian descent. Immigrants constituted 8% of the population by 2030.Pelaxia, long a country of emigration (the vast majority of Vallejars have Pelaxian ancestry),became a country of net immigration, and not just from the last Vallosi, and Far East Audonia overseas territories.  

Numbers of Varshani, Volonian and migrants are also significant. It is estimated that over 30,000 seasonal, often illegal immigrants work in agriculture, mainly southern cities of Savrian valley where they are often exploited by organized seasonal workers' networks. These migrants, who often arrive without due documentation or work contracts, make up over 90% of agricultural workers in the south of Pelaxia. Most are Caphirian, from the Loa Republic, and Vallejar. In the interior of the Montia there are many Caphirian workers.

 

One of the most alarming aspects of this issue is the prevalence of sexual exploitation among Caphirian immigrants, particularly women and children. They are often forced into prostitution and subjected to various forms of abuse, including physical and psychological violence. The clandestine nature of this exploitation makes it challenging for authorities to identify and address cases effectively. Moreover, Caphirian illegal immigrants are also exploited in drug trafficking networks, coerced into transporting illicit substances across borders. They are manipulated and threatened by criminal organizations, leaving them trapped in a cycle of violence.

Pelaxia has a rich religious history, with [[Catholicism]] playing a predominant role for many centuries. Early Pelaxians, like their [[Cognati]] predecessors, adhered to Cognati paganism. However, with the gradual Christianization of the region, Roman Catholicism became the dominant faith.

While Roman Catholicism continues to hold historical and cultural significance in Pelaxia, the country's religious landscape has evolved dramatically, reflecting broader societal changes and shifts towards secularism and pluralism. Pelaxia is a secular state: church and state were formally separated during the 1900s, and this was reiterated in the [[1966 Pelaxian Constitution]].

 

The Federal Republic is based on the principle of laicism enforced by the 1880s laws and the 1967 Constitution that establishes a “semi-separated” church-state relation, where the state pays a fraction of the Catholic Church salaries still to this day.
