Black Travellers are a nomadic ethnic group very similar to the Romani peoples of the Balkans, who are evenly distributed through Krasnarus for the most part. Black Travellers are widely hated throughout the country by all ethnic groups, and are often shunned by society.

History

The origins of the Black Travellers are unknown, and they are genetically unrelated to the peoples around them. They arrived in the area that is now Krasnarus several hundred years ago.

Foreign interest

Since the year 1653 Ab Nortone (October 2017) Shirerithian recruitment agents have been observed operating in international waters sending landing parties ashore to recruit young female Black Travellers for ill-defined waitress vacancies in Shirekeep. Although so far the recruitment campaign has not been widely felt in the region, Shirerithian legitimate businessmen have been working industriously in seeking to make contact with promising young gupneks who might serve as talent scouts and recruiters on the ground in Krasnarus and the Florian Serb lands.

Of those who have made the journey westwards so far, it would appear that many - far from becoming serving staff in bars and restaurants - have instead become bathhouse attendants, a very disreputable profession in the Imperial Republic. It is estimated that about 20,000 Black Traveller women had been trafficked by the gupnek gangs to Shirekeep, which was the result of a series of backdoor deals on the latter. The implications of this, which place high-ranking officials in unsavory positions, have stirred controversy among the Parliamentarians of Krasnarus.

Census

As of 2017, out of 1,238,256 self-identified Black Travellers, 50.0% of them male and 50.0% female. 99.1% were living in poverty, and their average income was Cr7,001. 16.16% had employment, and 0.2% of individuals over age 26 had college degrees - the lowest statistic of any ethnic group. 500,304 individuals of Black Traveller descent were on the Registry of Individuals Convicted of Felony Offenses (RFUUZTČ).
