=== Population Management ===
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.▼
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]]. Despite having a birth rate of 2.4, which by Packilvanian standards is on the lower end of the population spectrum, it is relatively high by gloval standards, with the population growing by 0.8 to 1.5% annually and is expected to reach 300 million by 2100.

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.▼

=== Religion ===
Fidakar has the lowest religious participation rate in the country. Despite the fact that 98% of the population consist of adherents of Paxism, it has the lowest percentage of people who regularly visit a temple at 32% far lower than the second lowest province at around 49%. It has the lowest amount of women who wear a religious headscarf at around 18%. Despite the nominal presence of laws to manage dress, Fidakar has the poorest enforcement of dress code restrictions. It also has the highest portion of the population with people who do not formally believe in a deity at around 18% of the population.
=== Education ===
The Provincial Department of Education runs 670,000 public schools. There are also 1.2 million private schools and tutoring centres. It is home to 168 universities, with the most prestigious including the University of Halaler, the University of Tuwak and the University of Ubran. It has the best performance in the Imperial Examinations at the end of high school in the country outside of the special economic zones and autonomous cities. Students in Fidakar spend the most time outside of SEZs and ACs in the country on their education, at about 11.5 hours a day. Fidakar has the highest salaries for teachers in the country outside of SEZs and ACs and is often a preferred destination of teacher placements from across the country.
=== Healthcare ===
Fidakar has a tropical climate, meaning that tropical diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, typhoid, haemorrhagic fever, and sleeping sickness were prevalent issues. But through aggressive immunisations, and fumigation of disease carrying insects such as mosquitoes and tsetse flies and the combatting of stagnant water in urban areas and sewage run-off into lakes and rivers, the province has made enormous strides in combatting communicable diseases. Fidakar has some of the most aggressive public hygiene policies in the country, with all shops, schools, train stations and other public spaces requiring people to sanitise their hands before entering. Fidakar has strongly encouraged wearing face masks to avoid the spread of airborne diseases. This helped it weather the Vanoi fever pandemic.
