The last Bind census, in 7582, recorded 98 million inhabitants across the territory of The Bind, including 39 million Wolgos, who were the largest and fastest-expanding ethnic group, 27 million Ak'lam, 16 million Shriaav, 10 million Eokoesr, 4 million Mizuet and two million Telwotti and other ethnic groups. The average Wolgos per capita GPD was around 29 Ꞡ, comparable to North Anarian standards, which benefited greatly from their exploitation and manufacturing economy, a hallmark of Wolgos economic policy. The per capita GDP of other ethnic groups was unknown but estimated at around 0.8 Ꞡ; the Shriaav had a much higher per capita GDP, but woefully, conditions and economic exploitation of the Ak'lam and Eokoesr severely brought down the estimated per capita GDP for all other ethnic groups.
Wolgos
The Wolgos population was mainly concentrated in New Xedun, the Nuss Valley, and Suron Land, with a significant minority in the Prosperity Gulf. New Xedun and Suron were the oldest collection of Wolgos settlements and the most temperate regions of the Bind, which made them preferential regions. Meanwhile, the Nuss Valley was the agricultural and increasingly industrial heartland, benefitting from its ample river networks for irrigation and transport. This region was equally populous despite being much larger than New Xedun. The Prosperity Gulf, with its tropical climate, was seen as an economic frontier beckoning masses of Wolgos to migrate and benefit from the exotic crops in the region, such as passion fruit, cacao and access to tropical fishing waters; the gulf became an important hub for the oil and food processing industries.
The Wolgos were the dominant ethnic group within the Bind, both in numbers and status. As the only remaining human sister sub-species, they originated from the Dnkluwos Islands, where they lived for millennia in petty states that eventually merged to form the state of Dhonowlgos. After encountering the broader world, they expanded rapidly, conquering the northern lands of The Bind, then known as New Xedun, from the Hellish Monarchy. This discovery led to a swift settlement of Altaia and a subsequent depopulation of their homeland.
Eokoesr
The Eokoesr of The Bind came to Altaia along with the Wolgos, brought during the colonisation of New Xedun, their numbers certainly bolstered by the captured Dolmer settlers of the old Second Stoldavian Empire. The Eokoesr grew in number as required by their Wolgos masters, and they lived in the most dehumanising conditions the Bind could offer, with a fraction of their population being explicitly bred as livestock for Wolgos consumption. The Eokoers had the same geographic distribution as the Wolgos and lived in close proximity, if not within the Wolgos household.
Economically, the Eokoesr contributed greatly to the Wolgos service industries and infrastructure but saw little, if any, economic advantage. The Eokoesr has no perceivable purchasing power or freedom to benefit from Wolgos prosperity.
Bind Shriaav
The Bind Shriaav were descendants of Davai Shriaav colonists who settled on the eastern Altaian coast and along the eastern Nuss River about two hundred years prior, as part of an unofficial exploratory and early colonization initiative by the peoples of Muurven. These settlers established villages, towns, and eventually petty city-states and kingdoms. As the Wolgos expanded inland, they began absorbing and enslaving Shriaav communities. The Treaty of Naga Yillan allowed the coastal Shriaav entities to maintain some autonomy in exchange for joining the empire.
Today, the Bind Shriaav were divided into two groups: the free Shriaav and the indentured Shriaav. The free Shriaav were "free" in that they could work, rest, and accumulate wealth, much like the Wolgos, but in reality, they were second-class citizens with limited freedom. Many lived as field peasants or in slum-like conditions. The indentured Shriaav, on the other hand, were in perpetual servitude, unable to marry or freely choose their paths, and were moved around the empire as needed by their handlers.
Ak'lam
The Ak'lam were the native people of The Bind lands and lived organised as independent tribes and minuscule petty kingdoms and lordships. The Ak'neeyuhlem Horde, a migratory band of horse-mounted peoples, were once one of the more dominant entities in the Nuss valley. The Ak'lam revolutionary Republic in the Ak'lam Savannah was a sort of lived attempt at a modern state during The Bind era before they were conquered. Within The Bind, the Ak'lam, close to Wolgos settlements, lived in slums constructed typically within large walled enclosures or fences and were located close to industrial areas where they provided cheap labour. Their living conditions were basic and lacked many of the basic amenities, such as clean water or reliable drainage, which, combined with gruelling working conditions, made life hard and short for many.
In agricultural regions, the Ak'lam typically lived in makeshift villages close to plantations and farming complexes to serve as cheap labourers, and they typically had better living conditions despite hard and long, poorly paid work.
Some Ak'lam in the exploitation territories fared slightly better, as they were kept in cleaner confinements and provided adequate nourishment, primarily to farm them as livestock. However, the majority lived free but marginalised, restricted from self-sufficiency or even settling in permanent communities, as an official policy aimed to fragment their society and break any semblance of an organisation that might threaten Wolgo's interests.
Telwotti
The Telwotti in The Bind were an isolated ethnic group living in the northern wastes of The Bind. Numbering no more than a few hundred thousand, they lived in small tribes, subsisting through hunting and ice fishing. The Bind's central authorities largely left the Telwotti alone as they had little interest in them, and the Telwotti rarely interfered with the Wolgos.
Nevertheless, it was not unknown for some wealthy Wolgos to hunt Telwotti for sport in their frigid and inhospitable homelands.
