Emerstarains are a nation and an ethnic group native to Emerstari who speak the Emerstarian language. The Emerstarian identity is of an archaic origin, when they were known in Old Scanian as the Emerraskjú by themselves or the Vastenskyrúr by other Scanian peoples.

Emerstarians descend from the Norrnybyrrarer settlers who migrated northwest around 15,000 years ago. All of the land settled by the Norrnybyrrarer was united under the First Emerstarian Empire by the 750s BC. By the time of the empire's fall in the AD 400s, Northern Scanians had developed customs and an identity distinct from other parts of the empire. For the following 600 years, the Emerstarian Ennearchy had distinguished itself further from the other Northern Scanians.

Today, many Emerstarian people have recent forebears from within Emerstari, while some are descended from migrants from Emerstari's colonies and some from recent immigrants to the country.

The Emerstarian people are the source of the Emerstarian language, Protestantism in Scania, and numerous major sports. These and other Emerstarian cultural characteristics have spread worldwide, in part due to the Emerstarian Empire.
