Ethnic groups

Pahanese Malay

The Pahanese people or Pahangese are the dominant native ethnic group of Phinbella and because of their numbers, the term Pahanese is often used interchangeably with the term Phinbellan. However, other ethnic groups native to Phinbella, who are genetically distinct from the Pahanese, do exist.

Regional minorities

Circassians

These two villages were a part of a greater group of Circassian villages around the Golan Heights. The Circassians in Phinbella enjoy, like Constancians, a status aparte. Male Circassians (at their leader's request) are mandated for military service, while females are not.

Boninki Islanders

The Boninki Islanders are ethnic group native to the Boninki Islands, also called the SSS Islands, part of Phinbellan Unincorporated Territory. They are descendants of Zaipinichi Peranakan, Yapreayans, and Greenlandic Martian who settled Henderson and Ducie in 2816. They speak a dialect of English, called Bonin English, and have traditionally practiced Christianity. Legal status of Boninki Islanders passed back and forth between Phinbella and other countries over the years and, during a provisional government, many Boninki Islanders were forced to leave their homes. Some immigrated to Politama, finding it easier to assimilate into an English-speaking Western culture than a Malay-speaking Asian one. Today, roughly 200 Boninki Islanders remain in Phinbella, some still bearing the surnames of the original 18th-century settlers.
