=== Ethnic groups ===

The largest ethnic group are the indigenous Oan people (''Te Iwi Oa''), who comprise the largest branch of the West Polynesian group. It is further divided into tribes, which originated on the major islands of the Oan archipelago. Kōhatuans (''Kama'āina Kōhatu'') and Islanders form the largest group of Polynesians. The largest group of expatriates come from Auroran countries and the Kuthernburg Commonwealth.

=== ~~Healthcare~~ ===

=== Health ===

The executive department which oversees the health care system of the Oan Isles is the Department of Health. The Minister of Health runs that department and is the highest adviser of the government on health care policy in the country. Various government institutions are responsible for important health care functions. The Institute of Infectious Diseases is the state agency responsible for research relating to infectious disease, vaccination, immunology, epidemiology and related matters. It directs the Oan Isles' response to pandemics. The standards for medical and clinical training and regulation of the health care practice are set by the Board of Healthcare Professionals. Public hospitals and clinics are administered by the national government. The Tokapa Medical Center is the largest and most advanced hospital in the Oan Isles and was the birthplace of the monarch of Kuthernburg, Queen [[Naomi Truden II]]. Oan citizens and permanent residents have free healthcare and all working individuals are required to make compulsory contributions to the Oan Universal Health Insurance Scheme (UHIS).

The Ministry of Health provides public healthcare. Citizens and permanent residents make compulsory contributions through a monthly tax to the Universal Health Insurance Scheme. The UHIS pays for primary healthcare and emergency treatment for all residents including refugees and foreign workers. Private medical insurance schemes and healthcare facilities exist and are available for all, but are mostly taken by middle and upper class residents.

The people of the Oan Isles have an average life expectancy of 78 years of age. Males have an average life expectancy of 76 years of age and females have an average life expectancy of 80 years of age. The leading cause of death in the Oan Isles is old age and related conditions, followed distantly by cardiovascular diseases and motor vehicle accidents. The annual number of people who die is 120,000 people while the annual number of people who are born is 180,000 people. Thus, births contribute 0.5% to the population growth rate. The Kohatu Isles have a higher rate of births than the Home Islands. Unfortunately, they have a higher rate of infant mortality. The average infant mortality rate in the Oan Isles is about 1.1 per 1,000 births.
