Dual-nationality is the norm among Pribraltarian citizens. Treble-nationality - most commonly Pribraltarian-St. Kenneran-Kiravian, but also other combinations, including Pribraltarian-Caphirian-Kiravian among the Hekuvian Coscivian minority - is also frequently encountered, and it is not unheard of for Pribraltar residents to hold or be eligible for even more nationalities. One notable example widely reported in the local press was the case of Gśevril M.B.S. Tamarūdin, a nominee to the Board of Governors of the Pribraltar Monetary Authority. Born in [X-land] and residing in Hāvermat at the time, Tamarūdin was alleged by CPPPR legislators to be a national of Pribraltar, the Kiravian Federacy, [X-land], [Y-land], Rumelistan, and [Z-country]. Tamarūdin, an [X-land]-born resident of Hāvermat, investment banker, and finance professor at the Trinatria State Univerity, confirmed his Pribraltarian, Kiravian, and [X-landic] nationality, but noted that like most Pribraltarian citizens he only held a Kiravian passport. He acknowledged the possibility that he might "by technicality" hold additional nationalities, but claimed that he had never exercised any citizenship rights elsewhere.

People of immigrant origin from [[The Cape]] and [whatever tf Azi is now] make up a very large and rapidly growing share of the population, especially in Hābermat.

Pribraltarian Coscivian, a dialect of Cronan Coscivian mutually intelligible with St. Kenneran Coscivian, is the main spoken language on the island, and has official status. However, Kiravic Coscivian is used for most business and administrative purposes. The island's largest newspaper, the ''Hāvermat Economist'', is written in Kiravic, while the second-largest, the ''Pribraltar Post'', is written in Pribraltarian. Pribraltarian is the main language used in television and radio broadcasts, supplemented by a large number of untranslated segments in Kiravic.

Portuguese is very widely spoken on Pribraltar as a second language, and is spoken natively by many people of Capetian, Cartadanian, and Tryhstian origin. Portuguese is offered as a second language in all public schools, and one public school in Hābermat offers elementary education in Portuguese to students from Lusophone households.  

The temporary resident population include a large number of Imperial Catholics, Muslims, followers of Alstinian religions, and Judaïsts, among others. As of 21198, seventeen different faith groups maintained places of worship in Hāvermat, with many primarily serving temporary workers and visitors rather than native congregations.  

The [[Church of Dodd|Pribyterian Church of Dodd]] maintains a chapel in Hāvermat and a mission in Airport City. A number of business entities connected with the Church of Dodd, including DoddWorks Global, Anointed Capital Tours SAK, McPrib Franchise Real Estate International, and YesAnd! Global Marketing SAK, are registered and headquartered in Pribraltar.

Opportunities for higher education on the island itself are somewhat limited, largely as a result of the Pribraltarian upper- and middle classes' long tradition of attending universities in Great Kirav and Sydona. The three largest institutes of higher learning on Pribraltar are the General College System (a community college system with four campuses across the island), St. Bran's College of Hābermat, and the Hābermat Economics and Management Institute. There is currently no state university, though the government has put forward plans to expand the island's law school into a full-fledged university within the next decade. Pribraltar's integration with the Kiravian Federacy, liberal registration policies, and minimal oversight of private colleges have allowed it to become a hub for minor educational institutions ranging from small, specialised graduate schools (mostly dedicated to business and related fields) to "offshore" dental and osteopathic schools to institutions of dubious legitimacy (some of which are known {{wp|degree mills}}).
