== Demography ==
Jumhurikesh has a population of over 135 million people, making it only the fourth most populous province of Packilvania. The balance of males and females in the province is similar. Like other Packilvanian provinces, it has a large working age population (between 15 and 65) a modest population of children (between 14 and 0) and a small population of retirees (65 and older). The average life expectancy is 75 years which has been achieved through improved access to nutrition, public hygiene, vaccination, and improved access to healthcare. Nevertheless, there are noticeable disparities in developmental outcomes between rural and urban areas.
Jumhurikesh is spared most of the brunt of the tropical diseases which plague the southern provinces. Nevertheless due to internal migration, immigrants from other provinces introduce these diseases, prompting the province to adopt requirements for vaccinations for people seeking to work and live in the province in the long term. Infant mortality has fallen significantly and pregnancy related complications leading to maternal death have largely fallen. Nevertheless, due to the proliferation of women's education and more women entering the workforce, fertility rates have fallen below 3 children per woman on average.
Due to modern urban lifestyles, Jumhurikesh reports very few polygamous marriages. As with other provinces, marriage rates are high and divorce rates are low. The province has a population that speaks several regionally located dialects of Packilvanian, many of which speakers of Packilvaniam from other provinces struggle to understand even though Imperial Standard Packilvanian is the official language. The largest religion by far is Paxism yet there are small communities of Vayan Catholics, Akronists, Akuanists and other groups with special status. The population consists almost entirely of Felines except for some Alleghenians who are Ursines. Among Felines, people come from different tribal or ethnolinguistic groups such as the Azraq, Shirazi, Sayami, Bimini, and the Dhil Qasir. However, as people intermarriage, ethnolinguistic group is being significantly less emphasized in personal identity.
