An estimated 71% of the population was of at least partial Glanish descent, defined as having at least one parent born in Glanodel and having Glanish citizenship. The remaining 29% were of a foreign background, defined as immigrants or descendants of recent immigrants (with or without citizenship). Of that 29%, most originated from nations along the archipelago of Lhedwin (approximately 1,243,251), with Asuran nations are the second most common source of foreign born citizens (approximately 856,462). Of the 29% of Glanish residents who were of a foreign background, roughly 73% were foreign residents, or legal Glanish residents without citizenship. Accounting for around 21.2% of the total population, it is one of the largest proportions of non-citizen residents in the developed world, most being from Asura. | An estimated 71% of the population was of at least partial Glanish descent, defined as having at least one parent born in Glanodel and having Glanish citizenship.

As of 2015, immigration into Glanodel is mostly from other Asuran nations, with notable proportions from [[Onza]] and [[Ternca]]. The most common regions of origin were Lhedwinic and Asuran.

In 1929, the anthropologist [[Ögge Edström]] conducted a study on racial ethnicities around the world, later known as the [[Racene i Nord|''"Racene i Nord"'']] ("The Races of the North"). Rooted in racial separatism and racial purity, this study has been a popular cornerstone of Glanodel's Nationalist Party ([[Rødulve]]), as well as many other far-right populist movements in Asuran nations. While most of its findings have been largely disregarded among social scientists today, many evolutionary biologists and geneticists still use some of its findings to further modern understanding of {{wp|human evolution}}. Additionally, the study's findings align with traits commonly associated with the "Glanish ethnicity". | In 1929, the anthropologist [[Ögge Edström]] conducted a study on racial ethnicities around the world, later known as the [[Racene i Nord|''"Racene i Nord"'']] ("The Races of the North").

Following graduation from primary school, all Glanish youth are required to attend the National Service Academy from the age of 16 to 18. The institute is a military academy. Its mission is "to give all Glanish youths a basic set of survival skills which will equip the upcoming generation with the means to protect, feed, clothe, and shelter themselves in almost any circumstance". While this training is now optional as of 2011, only 2% of all students in Glanodel have opted out of the program.

For secondary school, Glanodel provides many opportunities to its citizens. The Gymnasium (STX) attaches importance in teaching a mix of humanities and science, Higher Technical Examination Programme (HTX) focuses on scientific subjects and the Higher Commercial Examination Programme emphasizes on subjects in economics. Higher Preparatory Examination (HF) is similar to Gymnasium (STX), but is one year shorter. For specific professions, there is vocational education, training young people for work in specific trades by a combination of teaching and apprenticeship. It is a government priority to keep the attendance in secondary schools high, with 98% of youths since 2012 graduating from secondary school, at least. Glanish universities and other higher education institutions offer international students a range of opportunities for obtaining an internationally recognised qualification in Glanodel. Many programmes may be taught in the English language, the academic lingua franca, in bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, Ph.D.s and student exchange programmes. | For secondary school, Glanodel provides many opportunities to its citizens.

Glanodel employs a combination of both {{wp|single-payer healthcare}} and {{wp|Private healthcare|private insurance}} whereby the majority of major operations, treatments for major illnesses, and medical expenses resulting from pregnancy, as well as most expenses resulting from long term, continued care for chronic diseases and other medical expenses considered particularly burdensome financially are all covered by a universal healthcare system which is financed primarily through taxes levied by cantonal governments. Additionally, all medical expenses in general are covered under the single-payer system until the age of 18. Health and medical care spending constitutes 12.99% of the national budget (over $25.9 billion). The average Glanish citizen costs $5,344 in healthcare expenses, of which direct federal funding covers 30.81% and private insurance covers 48.69%. Out-of-Pocket costs are usually no more than 12.3%, or just over $600 per person, annually. | Glanodel employs a combination of both {{wp|single-payer healthcare}} and {{wp|Private healthcare|private insurance}} whereby the majority of major operations, treatments for major illnesses, and medical expenses resulting from pregnancy, as well as most expenses resulting from long term, continued care for chronic diseases and other medical expenses considered particularly burdensome financially are all covered by a universal healthcare system which is financed primarily through taxes levied by cantonal governments.

According to a 2017 estimate, the population of the Glanish Commonwealth is estimated at 14,869,859. It is the second most populous Lhedwin country, hosting almost one-third of the total population of the Lhedwin Isles. It's total population density is 62.92 per km2 (or 101.26 per sq. mi.). The cantons of Østbjorth, Særland, and Sørland are the most urbanized regions of the country, all located along the east coast bordering the Lhedwin Channel and the Asuran mainland, with most usable land developed. Graylund is the most populous city in Glanodel with 2.28 million residents (15% of the national population).
The population of Glanodel is considered a good example of a modern, transitioning demographic. This is generally characterized as typically pre-industrial populations experiencing low birth and mortality rates resulting in a slow, steady growth rate significantly impacted by immigration.
Glanodel's assumed literacy rate of 99% for citizens above the age of 15 is attributed to its aggressive public education system and its public subsidies for private education (both primary and secondary since the nation's re-establishment in 1900). Glanodel is also among the top 8 countries in the world with the highest percentage of populations with a tertiary degree. Although not officially a part of the Glanish government, the People's Church of Vænholm (Vænholm Folkekirke) was once the official church of the Glanish Kingdom prior to the establishment of the Commonwealth and was Trúathist. Today, the cathedral is used by a variety of faiths by numerous government and public officials for numerous events and ceremonies. Although Glanodel's religious demographic is fairly diverse when compared to other Asuran nations, Glanodel's dominant religion is still Trúathism.
Glanodel's population is predominantly White and of Asuran descent, with significant populations of Arabekian- and Cataian-Glens concentrated mostly along the east coast. The most frequently spoken language throughout all cantons is Glanish-Lhedwinic, with Newreyan and Midrasian being the two second most common. The majority of all Glanish residents educated in Glanodel are bilingual.
