The Oan Isles has a large, ethnically, linguistically and religiously heterogeneous population of approximately 90 million people. The largest ethnic group is the Oan ethnic group (after whom the country is named), the official and largest language is Oan and the largest religion is the Oan Christian Church, a branch of the Christian religion. Three quarters of the population live in urban areas with the largest city being Port of the Rock followed by La Rochelle, the capital city.
The Oan Isles has a high rate of development. All adults can read and write with virtually all of them completing mandatory and free education. The people benefit from an efficient and free health care system, with an average life expectancy of over 90 and an infant mortality rate of virtually none. Due to the urban lifestyle, family planning and restrictive immigration policies (regardless of travel agreements signed with the ACA), the population grows at a rate of less than half a percent.

Dispersion
Dispersion refers to how people are distributed throughout the Oan Isles and her territories. Two thirds of the population live on the Southern Oan Isles. This represents approximately 60 million people. A quarter live in the Northern Oan Isles. This represents approximately 22,5 million people. The rest live in the Oan Gondwana and Oan Pacific territories. This represents approximately 7,5 million people.
Urban dispersion
Urban dispersion refers to how people are distributed in cities and towns. Three quarters of the population live in urban areas. This represents approximately 67,5 million people. Half of the population live in the ten largest cities. This represents 45 million people. In the Oan Isles, people who live in urban areas are concentrated around the city proper. Cities generally do not sprawl and gradually disintegrate into the countryside. There are clear boundaries. Urban areas occupy only a tenth of Oan land surface. While the top 10 cities occupy only 5% of the area. Urban areas have an average population density of 1,350 people per square kilometre.
55 million people in the Southern Oan Isles live in urban areas. 2 million people in the Oan Pacific and Gondwana Territories live in urban areas. 14,5 million people in the Northern Oan Isles live in urban areas.
The largest Oan cities are as follows:
| Rank | Location | Population | Header text | Header text |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Port of The Rock | Southern Oan Isles | 10,720,000 | Example |
| 2 | La Rochelle | Southern Oan Isles | 8,240,000 | Example |
| 3 | Heavenly City | Southern Oan Isles | 5,560,000 | Example |
| 4 | Serenity City | Southern Oan Isles | 4,440,000 | Example |
| 5 | Crystal City | Southern Oan Isles | 3,680,000 | Example |
| 6 | Harmony City | Northern Oan Isles | 3,430,000 | Example |
| 7 | Tranquility City | Northern Oan Isles | 2,820,000 | Example |

| 9 | Tukanoaeni | Southern Oan Isles | 1,900,000 | Example |

The socio-economic implications of this process are discussed in the "Labour" and "Income distribution" sections of the article: Economy of The Oan Isles.
Languages
The Oan language is the official language and the most widely spoken language. It is the language of interethnic communication, business, commerce and government. The Oan branch of the Polynesian linguo-ethnic group is homogeneous as a result of years of assimilation in the southern half of the Oan Isles. Half of the population speak languages of the Konoanan branch of the Polynesian language family. Unlike the Oan branch, the Konoanan branch is linguistically heterogenous with 7 languages. They are spoken in the northern home islands east of Lazlowia.
Virtually all Oan adults can read and write. At least three quarters of the population can speak at keast two language. As a result of increased trade with and travel to and from many Auroran countries and exposure to their cultures, Codexian has gained traction especially among the youth and the academic and business classes. French has had a marginal influence due to the arrival of French missionaries who introduced Christianity, for example the capital is called La Rochelle from the the French language.
Religion
The largest religion is Christianity. It is practiced by approximately three quarters of the population. It has several branches or denominations. The Oan Christian Church is the largest Christian denomination. It is practiced by half of the population. It combines aspects of Oan Traditional Religion into Protestant Christian beliefs. The Protestant branch of Christianity as a whole makes up a quarter of the population.
The second largest religion is the Oan Traditional Religion. It is practiced by almost quarter of the population. It was developed over many years. It is made up of the customs and beliefs of the indigenous people of The Home Islands of The Oan Isles, east of Aurora. The centre of these beliefs are the ancestors.
Atheism or agnosticism is very rare, although a tenth of people are fairly apathetic towards the religion they regard themselves as part of. The rest of the people take an active part in their faith and spirituality, and conversely (according to opinion polls) regard their faith or spirituality as an important part their lives.
Cultural groups
The Oan Isles has many cultural groups. Each group has a distinct language, ancestry and customs. The largest ethnic group is the Oan ethnic group (also called the Oatunu). It is the largest of eight indigenous groups. The other seven are broadly classed into the Konoanan branch. They all belong to the Polynesian linguo-ethnic group that descends from Proto-Asians who arrived on these islands tens of thousands of years ago.
