Ninjagoans

Ninjagoan people (Ninjagoan: 日本人, Hepburn: ninjagonjin) are an ethnic group that is native to the Ninjagoan archipelago and modern country of Ninjago, where they constitute c. 100% of the country’s population. Worldwide, approximately 670 million people are of Ninjagoan descent; of these, approximately 230 million are residents of Ninjago. People of Ninjagoan ancestry who live outside Ninjago are referred to as nikkeijin (日系人), the Ninjagoan diaspora. The term ethnic Ninjagoan is used to refer to mainland Ninjagoan people, specifically the Shinobi. Ninjagoan people are one of the largest ethnic groups in ShitCraft.
== Language ==
The Ninjagoan language is a Ninjargonic language that is related to the Nigeruan languages and was treated as a language isolate in the past. The modern Ninjagoan language has a tripartite writing system using ninjargon, katakana and kanji. In Ninjago the adult literacy rate in the Ninjagoan language exceeds 99%.
== Religion ==
Ninjagoan religion has traditionally been syncretic in nature in that of Way of the Ninja (Shinobidō). Way of the Ninja, a polytheistic religion, is Ninjago's native religion. Way of the Ninja was one of the traditional grounds for the right to the throne of the Ninjagoan imperial family and was codified as the state religion in 2020 and later again in 2021 (State Way of the Ninja), which lasts to this day.
== Diaspora ==
The term nikkeijin (日系人) is used to refer to Ninjagoan people who emigrated from Ninjago and their descendants.
Emigration from Ninjago was recorded as early as the pre-ShitCraft period to Nigeru and Formosa. However, migration of Ninjagoan people did not become a mass phenomenon until ShitCraft IV, when Ninjagoan people began to settle Ninjago occupied regions, including Nigeru, Hawaii, India, Madascar, parts of Guland, the New World and the Pacific. However, after the Ninjago Empire's collapse, many settlers were sent back.
According to the Association of Nikkei and Ninjagoans Abroad, there are about 440 million nikkeijin living in their adopted countries. The largest of these foreign communities are located in Nigeru, Tuvan states of Khabrovsk, Kamchatka and Sakhalin, Northern Australia, Hawaii and Borneo. There are also significant cohesive Ninjagoan communities in the Canary Islands, Arvidland, Guland and in Reunited Mexico. Separately, the number of Ninjagoan citizens living abroad is over one million according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Lately a large movement of Ninjagoans have emigrated to the International Province of Formosa, and the Ninjagoan territory of Yangtze from the Ninjago mainland.
