Editing Republic of Palau-Cora (section)

==Demographics==
The '''current population stands at 45 residents.''' The community is built around the founding group Aobaom, Linus, and the sixteen they chose, Palau-Cora expanded over five years by a small number of admitted newcomers and, more importantly, by the first generation of children born on the island, most of whom have survived despite the near total lack of proper medical care. People of Palau-Cora are called Coranese, the majority are '''ethnically Thai, alongside a small number of Indonesian and Malaysian Bugis seafaring families''' admitted during the lean early years.
English is the official language of the Council and of daily record keeping, '''while English is widely spoken at home''' and formally recognized. Religious life is quiet and mixed, split between Christianity and Buddhism, usually observed privately and without formal clergy. With so few people, '''there is little distinction between citizen, worker, and soldier, everyone holds several roles at once''', and the mood by the current day is markedly more settled and optimistic than in the frightened first years.
