Drogcovii, The Home of the Dragon
Demographics
Redrgao as an empire has been noted as extremly diverse due to their expantionist era, and boasts both the largest land held and demographics accounted for. Its capital of Dragcovii reflexes similar stances.
Though primarily populated by those of Caucison, Erinite, or Coloicatic descent - those who originally populated the area - there are large demographics of Sheesawn, Romati, and Sunit tradesmen and their families, along with Hallsttain and Kinnson workers. The Sunit power elite commonly have homes here, along with the Inyx lords of trade. There are small pockets Negarian and Aneosi populations, though they are commonly Ambassadors for their people and not immigrants.
There is also a large mix-racial population, primarily in the Third and Fourth Districts, or the Ravii and Brocvii Districts. It is more common to see those of mixed or otherly defined races among the large working classes.
On classes - there are five primary 'classes' of businessmen in the city. Workers or Tradless Workers are the lowest, generally factory, railroad, or construction, or other non-detailed work. Tradesmen are higher, crafts-people who are employed by numerous businesses and fields. The Business class has authority of the primary wealth and economy of the city, the new money of new minds. The Elite (or Authoritive Class) is from old money and traditions, and has produced the thinkers of the political sense. The Royal class is a distinct if not small class of those related directly or indirectly to the ruling family.
