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.

As of 2017, out of 1,238,256 self-identified Black Travellers, 50.0% of them male and 50.0% were 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).
