Fidakar is the most populated province with 145 million people and is the second most populated subnational divisions in the world after or on par with [[Staynes]]. The Fidakar Provincial Government has the power to control internal migration in the province. Thus, it implemented controls in the framework of the ''Population Mobility and Distribution Act''. The ''Fidakar Birthplace Registration Act'' and subsequent amendments and regulations builds on the policy of Internal Migration Management that was introduced by the [[Packilvanian Communist Party]]. It requires that all Fidakarian citizens should be registered with their place of birth and apportions access to public services such as healthcare, education, housing and employment on the basis of the registration of origin. This policy was designed to prevent the influx of rural migrants from overwhelming the cities, but critics have noted that the policy arbitrarily disadvantages rural citizens and makes them virtually second class citizens in their own province.

To combat the rising population of the province, there are measures such as providing tax rebates for citizens who perform a vasectomy or hysterectomy after their second child. Sapient rights organisations such as Freedom International have reported forced sterilisations of poor rural populations by Fidakarian healthcare authorities, claims which the Provincial Government vehemently denies. Widespread ontraceptives and family planning initiatives such as banning child marriages, sex education in schools etc. have been cited as helping to dampen the population rise of the Province. Over 46% of the population live in urban areas while the remaining 54% live in rural areas.

2 million people live informal and semi-formal housing in shanty towns or slums on the peripheries of major cities with about 600,000 people being unhoused or relying on state or civil society run transitional housing. The housing crisis in Fidakar is caused in part by the high cost of land attributed to the Provincial Government's tacit support of efforts by Local Government's to artificially raise the price of land and the subsequent land use rights sales to property developers and investors by restricting land supply.
