Demographics of Çakaristan
Çakaristan is the second most populous country on Micras. A census is conducted every 10 Norton years, this is used to determine the number of seats in the Majlis al-Nuwaab.
Between 1690 and 1711 AN, population growth was mainly due to the growth of Çakaristan. More and more territory with its population came under the Çakar flag. The exception is the period of the Great Apollonian Empire, between 1698 and 1704, during which the population is estimated at more than one billion.
In the 1720 census, Beneluccas and Sri Pashana could not be counted due to the Sanpo-Çakar War. In view of the 1725 elections, a mid-term census was held in those states in 1724 AN. As well as in the new states of Jaihabar, Lija and Sanpantul.
Population developments
Up to 1690 AN
In the area west of the Green Border, particularly Haritdesh, there are two benchmarks. In 1619 AN it was stated that Aryasht at that time had around 300 million inhabitants. [1] And the second benchmark is this census. In the intervening period there have been several developments, initially increasing the population to just under 700,500,000. After that, a decline started, as a result of statelessness. There were no major wars in the area, as well as pandemics, such as the Alexandrian Flu.
There is no history of large-scale migration. However, after the foundation of Çakaristan, migration began, with large groups migrating to the east, especially to the areas Poorajangal and Korhalistan. Migration to the Sylfystan region was mainly limited to the new capital Agra. The construction of this city offered the most opportunities for the migrants.
Due to the lack of exact data between the two benchmarks, 1619 and 1690 AN, the progress has been modelled.
1690 - 1698 AN
Between 1690 and 1698 AN, Çakaristan was expanded to include the former Coria and Sri Pashana. Together with natural growth, this created an estimated population of 550,405,460. In 1698 AN, Çakaristan merged with Jingdao to form the Great Apollonian Empire. It was estimated that Jingdao had a population of 501,860,000. The Great Apollonian Empire was the first nation on Micras to reach the 1 billion mark. After the fall of that empire, this marker was achieved by Shireroth in 1715 AN. In this, Kildare had the biggest contribution, a former part of the Great Apollonian Empire.
1698 - 1710 AN
For Çakaristan, the fall of the Great Apollonian Empire did not cause many casualties. In the areas that remained under the Çakar flag, there was relative peace. The 1710 census had counted a growth of 86% over the 1690 census. This growth is only partly due to natural growth. Mainly the addition of territories, such as Barikalus and Qyzylqaystan, have contributed to the growth.
1710 - 1720 AN
Population growth levelled off slightly in the period from 1710 to 1720 AN. During this period, the Empire did expand, but less spectacularly than before 1710 AN. Expansions took place in the Norfolk Isles, the Skerry Isles and the Oceanic Territory. In the Skerry Isles, the Sanpo-Çakar War raged between 1716 and 1720 AN, reducing the population size.
Censuses
A census is held every 10 Norton years, only in 1700 AN no census was held. The number for 1700 AN is estimated.
