This sometimes correlate with other divisions within a particular ethnosocial group. For example, Kaviska Taństem, a community of Taństem Coscivians that trace their roots to Taństem who settled in Kaviska during the colonial and Viceregal periods tend to be Greens, while the "Nor'easters", relatively more recent Taństem arrivals from the Far Northeastern states, tend to be Blues. | ||

The bulk of the population in Downstate Kiygrava, North Niyaska, and Róvidrea is descended from people who at one point lived in Valēka. As such, these people mostly inherit their team loyalty patrilineally from their Valēkan forebears. People without ties to Valēka who move to these areas often choose one of the two teams to root for based on which one is more popular in their local area or social group, and their children and grandchildren most often identify with the predominant team in their area. However, such people are often less attached to their chosen team than "cradle fans" and typically do not treat it as anything other than a sporting preference. There are also substantial minorities of people in these areas that root primarily or exclusively for non-Valēkan teams and thus do not participate in the rivalry. | The bulk of the population in Downstate Kiygrava, North Niyaska, and Róvidrea is descended from people who at one point lived in Valēka.

[[Holden Island]], a condominium jointly governed by Kiygrava and Niyaska, has a Green-majority (~65%) population, with a Blue minority (~25%). Social segregation is practiced, though to a lesser extent than in Valēka. During disagreements over governance of the island between the two states, newspapers in Cantrasar and Valēka have sometimes reported that Greens support Kiygrava State's position, while Blues support Niyaska's, though islanders themselves have contested this claim.

During disagreements over governance of the island between the two states, newspapers in Cantrasar and Valēka have sometimes reported that Greens support Kiygrava State's position, while Blues support Niyaska's, though islanders themselves have contested this claim. Holden Islanders can register their cars with either Kaviskan or Niyaskan authorities, and an informal study by a County Manôt, Niyaska newspaper pairing licence plates with team-related bumper stickers found no significant correlation between having a Mets sticker and having a Kiygravan plate. | ||
In [[Niyaska]], South Niyaskans predominantly root for teams based in [[Eriadun]], [[Etivéra]]. North Niyaskans, however, root for Valēka-based teams. Most North Niyaskans are Blues, though there is a substantial minority of Greens in most areas. The port city of Śervinak on Valēka Harbour stands out as a predominantly (>75%) Green city in contrast to neighbouring Cantrasar (>80% Blue). | In [[Niyaska]], South Niyaskans predominantly root for teams based in [[Eriadun]], [[Etivéra]].
