Sirana is easily the most culturally diverse city in Æonara. During the [[Kiravian Sunderance|Sunderance]], the city and its environs were known as a "microcosm of the Realm" because people from virtually all Kiravian regional and ethnic backgrounds had settled there in some quantity. Although this epithet is less true today than during the Sunderance due to suburbanisation and the repatriation of emigrés, the city proper has become more diverse and cosmopolitan due to a growing population of migrant workers from Cronan and Polynesian countries, and a larger presence of white-collar expatriates from Cronan and Sarpedonian countries involved in the city's business life. | Sirana is easily the most culturally diverse city in Æonara.

Catholicism has been the majority religion in Sirana for as long as systematic surveys have been conducted. Whereas the surrounding countryside was populated by Æonaran Coscivians adhering to both Coscivian Rite Catholicism and Coscivian Orthodoxy (with the balance in favour of the latter), the Sunderance emigré population was disproportionately Catholic, drawn heavily from the coastal urban bourgeoisie, the Baylands, and the West Coast [[Rosary Belt]]. Many Catholic institutions fleeing government persecution established themselves in the Sirana area. The city is the seat of the [[Coscivian Catholic Patriarchal Exarchate of Crona]]. Migration from [[Sarolasta]] has further reïnforced the Catholic majority in recent decades. | |||
Sirana has, in all likelihood, the largest [[M'acunist]] population in the Kiravian Federacy<ref>Though not the largest in the Kiravian ''[[Kiravian Collectivity|Collectivity]]'', which includes mainland Cronan territories where M'acunism is widespread.</ref>, presumably concentrated among the labour migrant and guest worker populations, which are difficult to survey. An ordinance prohibiting animal sacrifice in the city's drainage canals was challenged in the [[Federal Consistory]] case ''Yičxa v. Greater Sirana Water Control District'', with the Consistory ruling in favour of Yičxa. | |||
