| | ==Counties== |
| Every ten years, [[Statistics Imagua]] conducts a nationwide census to collect data on each person in order to find out information about the people residing in [[Imagua and the Assimas]], in order for the government to not only find out what the country is populated by, but also redistribute constituency boundaries for the [[Lesser House of Imagua and the Assimas|Lesser House]] of the [[Parliament of Imagua and the Assimas|Imaguan parliament]], and determine who would be eligible for certain governmental programmes.
| | Imagua and the Assimas are divided into eight '''counties''' ({{wp|Italian language|Etrurian}}: ''contee'', [[Western Imaguan Creole]]: ''lan''), with all but the [[Assimas County]] being situated on the [[Imagua (island)|island of Imagua]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Population==
| | As a {{wp|unitary state}}, the counties generally function only for statistical purposes and for judicial purposes, with most of the roles of the counties having been shifted towards the cities and towns, or towards the federal government. However, [[Assimas County]] has substantial autonomy because of its history, and its sizable Etrurian population. |

The remaining 5% of the population, or 70,851 people, are either [[Senrian people|Senrians]], recent immigrants, or [[Native Imaguan people|native Imaguans]].
| |
|
| |
| The Bahio-Imaguans are descendants of {{wp|slaves}} brought in from [[Bahia]] by the various colonizers which have ruled over the archipelago in the [[Transvehemens slave trade|triangle trade]]. Over the generations, the Bahio-Imaguans developed their own identity separate from their original identities back in Bahia, as they were shaped by the life in Imagua and the Assimas.
| |
|
| |
| The Coian-Imaguans are descendants of [[Gowsa|gowsas]], and to a lesser-extent, [[Satria|Satrian]] {{wp|indentured servants}} who were brought in following the abolition of slavery in the Estmerish Empire in 1795. The Coian population would develop a unique identity separate from their [[Dezevau|Dezevauni]] and [[Kabu|Kabuese]] ancestors.
| |
|
| |
| The Euclo-Imaguans are descendants of [[Euclea|Euclean]] settlers. The two largest Euclo-Imaguan groups are [[Etrurian-Imaguans]], who are descended from [[Etrurian people|Etrurian]] migrants, and comprise around five percent of the national population (59,828 people), and [[Estmerish-Imaguans]], who are descended from [[Estmerish people|Estmerish]] migrants, who comprise around two percent of the national population (26,554 people).

|
| |

Only 0.5% of the population, or 6,532 people, are [[Native Imaguan people|native Imaguans]].
| |
|
| |
