Thýstara's first civilian colonists were [[Koskenkorva|Koskenkorvans]] from their home island's far northern end who established the settlements of Tagakūla and Inovintergen (English: "New [[Wintergen]]") on the southeastern shore. Subsequently, the Kiravian government encouraged the emigration of new settlers from Coscivian ethnic groups whose traditional lifestyles were compatible with the subarctic marine climate of Thýstara, such as the various North Coscivian and Sēoran Coscivian peoples, Arnóriem, Lúnstem, Kroysanyem, Túkluskan Coscivians, Psikorviem, and Ice Coscivians, as well as non-Coscivian Rhūniks and Finnic-speaking groups from Koskenkorva and the Northern Isles. Most of these settlers came from the states of [[Intravia]], [[Vôtaska]], [[Lataskia]], and [Northwestern coastal state], and as such, the culture of Thýstara is strikingly similar to that of the [[Great Kirav#Zone A - North Coast|North Coast]]. In the 21200s, renewed economic interest in Punth and the expansion of the mining industry encouraged [[Saxalin Islands|Saxalin Islanders]] to relocate to Thýstara, from the Antarctic Circle to the Arctic.

Most of these settlers came from the states of [[Intravia]], [[Vôtaska]], [[Lataskia]], [[Ixikéa-Qihuxia]], and [[Inokarya]], and as such, the culture of Thýstara is strikingly similar to that of the [[Great Kirav#Zone A - North Coast|North Coast]]. In the 21200s, renewed economic interest in Crona and the expansion of the mining industry encouraged [[Saxalin Islands|Saxalin Islanders]] to relocate to Thýstara, from the Antarctic Circle to the Arctic.


Low population densities and good policy decisions by the colonial administration have engendered good relations between Thýstaran colonists and the indigenous Qalík. The Federacy has honoured agreements guaranteeing the Qalík local autonomy and equitable access to resources such as land and fisheries. There has been a significant amount of intermarriage between the settler and Qalík communities over time, resulting in at least 8% of the population having mixed Qalík and Coscivian (and/or Rhūnik or Finnic) ancestry. These ''mestiços'' (Coscivian: ''mestiśuvya'') are typically bilingual and live in Kiravian settlements, though some live among the Qalík or have formed their own villages.
