Autonomous Territories: Similar to a Territory, these have a huge cultural and/or linguistical difference within the rest of the federation, that they are granted control over cultural and linguistics in their territory, and can therefore makes specific laws based on the cultural or language spoken in each of those territory. Out of these 7 AT, 5 does not have Lakadamian as the main spoken language.

There is multiple types of communes, based on their population (Commune urbaine / Commune rurale) or Geographically (Commune côtière, Commune montagnarde, Commune désertique), although in general, these are only used for stastistical purposes. Some territories also possesses Unincorporated Areas, which are mostly empty places mainly made up of the Lakadamian Desert, located at the center and east, the exception is the Monts du Nord, located between the Northern, Eastern and Western territories of the Federation, or the Volcan Zuétan, located in Zuetania.

Demographics[edit]

In 2023, the Federation's population was estimated to be around 74.0 million by the Institut National du Recensement, with a low population density, as it is estimated that only 25 people lives per square kilometer, mostly noted due to the geography of the country being mainly rough to live in (deserts and mountainous). Nearly 75% of the population lives in urban areas, and up to 90% of the population lives near the coast. The sole exception is the plains of Western Lakadamia, where 1/3rd of the population lives, which includes Pavlodia. Due to it's history, Lakadamia has always been a cosmopolitan nation, with a lot of nationalities being recognized as a minority, depending of the territory.
