The lowest administrative division, which is at the fifth level, are the ''aylliukuna''. These correspond to the main federative units of a ''ripartamintu'', and form the most local instance of {{wp|democracy}} in Kelekona. An ''aylliu'' consists about 500 people, and the main governing council functions on the basis of {{wp|direct democracy}}, encouraging its residents to directly participate in local affairs. As the primary point of contact with the government for most citizens of Kelekona, it is through the ''aylliukuna'' that petitions to the government sent to at first before being transferred to higher divisions as needed, even all the way up to the Qhapaqs' Council in some cases. | The lowest administrative division, which is at the fifth level, are the ''aylliukuna''.

Kelekona has nine recognized ethnic groups in the country, all of which are represented approximately in proportion to the amount of people they have in the 100-member Council of Nobles, but only seven of them have their own ethnic homelands. The largest of the nine recognized ethnic groups are the [[Kelekonese people|Kelekonese]], known to themselves as the ''Mayukimsaruna'' ("Tri-river people"); so-called due to their traditional homeland being located between the Innis River, the Cochrane River, and one of the branches of the Innis River Basin. The second-largest ethnic groups are the ethnic Varshani peoples, descendants of the former ruling bureaucracy of the tributary state of Kelezuno and, more recently, Deluge refugees; they are known by Kelekona's six indigenous groups as ''Jawaruna'' ("Foreigners") or more derogatively as ''Nunat'irachakakuna'' ("Soul-pullers") in reference to the long-time Arzalist practice of human sacrifices. The [[Telekonese people|Telekonese]], known locally as ''Uchuytarakunaruna'' ("Little islands people"), make up the third-largest ethnic group in Kelekona, and primarily reside in the coastal and insular southern regions of Kelekona. | |||
The ''Kinichuyuruna'' ("War-blessed") are primarily worshippers of the Nahibist war god Kinichzo and reside on the mountaintops in northern Kelekona, making up the fourth-largest ethnic group. The fifth-largest ethnic group are known as the ''Kuntichinchaysuyuruna'' ("Northwesterners"); their homeland is situated between the Varshani homeland and the ''Kinichuyuruna'' homeland. To the south of the ''Kuntichinchaysuyuruna'' live the ''Kuntisuyuruna'' ("Westerners"), who comprise the sixth-largest ethnic group, followed by the ''Gocahalliparuna'' ("Lakelanders"), the seventh-largest ethnic group. The two smallest recognized ethnic groups are the Carnish from Malentina and the Arcos from Arcerion. These last two groups are wealthier on average compared to the rest of the population, and generally reside in separate communities which happen to be one of the most developed parts of the country. | |||

===Linguistic demographics=== | |||
As an ethnic federation, Kelekona gives the ''suyukuna'' the right to determine their own linguistic policies, though homeland ''suyukuna'' are required to make their official language the primary tongue associated with their home ethnic group. On the federal level, the government recognizes six varieties of the {{wp|Quechua languages|North Songunese family}} of indigenous languages as official. Although previous scholars have originally classified these varieties as simply dialects of the North Songunese language, more recent studies have suggested that those dialects are not as {{wp|mutually intelligible}} as was once thought and thus North Songun has been reclassified as a language family. Kelekona's national language is known as ''T'inkirunaysimi'' ("United people's tongue"), an attempt at standardizing the North Songunite languages that is primarily based on the elements found in the ''suyu'' of Sonqosuyu; although the attempt at standardization was not as big of a success as was hoped, it retains recognition as the country's national language due to its status as an indigenous {{wp|lingua franca}}. An eastern vernacular of the Varshani language and [[Ænglish language|Ænglish]], while not official at the federal level, are still given official status in their respective ''suyukuna''. Linguistic statistics are primarily congruent with the ethnic make-up of the country. | |||
===Religious demographics=== | |||
The vast majority of Kelekonese citizens are of the [[North Songun civilization#Religion|Nahibian]] faith, an indigenous faith that is commonly said to have been single-handedly established by its namesake the Maktalinese priest-king Nahibe, but more recent scholarship have debated this and have since explained that much of the framework behind the Nahibian faith was more likely to have been the work of multiple prophets and priests over the span of several decades. Historically, Nahibianism was the primary religion of the North Songun civilization and of northern Crona during the years of North Songunese hegemony, but when the North Songun civilization collapsed by the 16th Century it was soon overtaken by the [[Arzalist]] faith from Varshan, specifically its [[Orthodox Arzalism|orthodox]] sect. It would not be until the 19th Century when Nahibianism would experience a revival, soon growing from a holdout in northern Kelezuno to becoming the largest religion in the country as well as in neighboring [[Titechaxha]]. | |||
The next-largest religious group are adherents to the Ænglican faith due to cultural influence from Arcerion. It is the religion that the Arco and Carnish people in the country adhere to as well as a sizeable amount of indigenous people in the southwest of the nation. The only other denomination of Christianity that has a significant presence in Kelekona are Catholics, who happen to make up the fifth-largest religion in the country and are most prevalent in the southeast, being the majority faith of the ''Gocahalliparuna'', the only indigenous group in Kelekona, other than the majority-Ænglican Telekonese, to be almost entirely Christianized. On average, the Christian minority in Kelekona tend to be wealthier than their counterparts who adhere to more indigenous faiths. | |||
A sizeable minority of Kelekonese identify as irreligious, meaning that they have no religious affiliations whether because they were not raised in a particularly religious household or because they have rejected religion altogether. The rise of irreligiosity began in the 1980s during the socialist era, and the abject devastation and chaos of subsequent eras have led to more people to renounce religion entirely. Following the irreligious are a group of people of varying faiths that do not comprise of a significant amount of people to be given their own separate categories, most often people living in small, {{wp|Protestant}} missions. | |||
Arzalism was once the majority religion in Kelezuno throughout much of its existence until the Nahibian revival of the 19th Century. It is speculated that the vast majority of the nation's irreligious might actually be practicing Arzalis as successive Kelekonese governments up until the Qarawi regime and beyond have either been complacent in or even outright encouraged the persecution of Arzalis, thus forcing many to hide their faith by identifying as more palatable affiliations such as irrelgion, Nahibianism, or even a form of Christianity. | |||

===Energy=== | ===Energy=== | ||
Kelekona has no domestic power plants in the country, meaning that the country has to rely on other countries to get its needed energy. As such, the current situation with Kelekona's energy sector is that it is entirely dependent on Arcerion's energy sector, itself consisting of both nuclear and fossil fuel power plants, but the most common resources that Kelekona imports from Arcerion for use in its energy sector are oil and gas due to the relative low cost of the two materials. Up until 2025, energy-related imports were often lacking, resulting in many places in Kelekona falling under {{wp|power outage|blackouts}} or {{wp|brownout (electricity)|brownouts}}, but with the rise of a more friendly form of government in Kelekona, energy-related imports have risen dramatically with areas of Kelekona that are connected to the current power grid having reported less frequent occurrences of blackouts and brownouts. Many isolated communities in Kelekona have resorted to using {{wp|solar panels}} to handle their needs in electricity as access to the national power grid is often nonexistent, with larger solar panels often being used for local power grids to handle the needs for multiple households in a given locality. | Kelekona has no domestic power plants in the country, meaning that the country has to rely on other countries to get its needed energy.
