People and demographics
The total population of Normark is, as of the census 1677, 5,707,607 persons. For the purpose of statistics, registration is based on ethnicity. If one is a foreigner with a non-Natopian or non-Normark ethnicity, one is classed as "foreigner". A small proportion of the Norse population have nationality in Elwynn and enjoy the Raspur Pact rights of free movement in their ancestral homeland.
The Norse ethnicity constitutes a clear majority in all of Normark. They share their ancestral homeland with that of the Reinish people, also known as Reindeer Herders. The Reinish are a nomadic people, with only up to a quarter of its total population having urbanized.
The Norse people speak the Norse (det norske språk) and the Reinish speak Reinish, though most also speak Norse as a first or second language. Elw is the most common foreign language studied in schools.
