Ethnic groups
Major Ethnic Breakdown:
Having been founded based upon the Errikan ethno-cultural nation, Errikland is primarily Errikan. However, the Errikan toleration of Jews has led it to be historical haven for them, and some conquered regions contributed significant minorities that are typically classified only as "Tarki"; technically, this is a sweeping generalization that encorporates many different groups (and is typically a racial slur in nearby countries). Another Germanic people, similar in some ways but notably different in others to Errikans, known as the Querqs, have limited settlement in Errikland; they number around five thousand.
The expansion of the Errikan Empire colonially has provided extensive territory for Errikan emigration from the mainland; however, it has also provided some migration back, and there are currently around one thousand ethnic Arterusians living in Errikland. Following the creation of Errikan Africa, a massive wave of migration brought over four million ethnic Africans to Errikland before legislation was passed to restrict this migration.
Religion
Religions:
Errikland has a long history of Christianity; the original Errikans were united by their common belief. Over the hundreds of years between the Errikan settlement of Mucro and the Crusades, the first large scale contact with European Christianity since the settlement, Errikan Christianity developed into its own unique branch of the religion. It continues to be by far the dominate religion in the nation.
The long term Errikan tolerance of Jews has encoraged extensive Jewish settlement in Errikland.
