			The Meó population stands at 456,243,601, according to its most recent census.

			== Languages ==
			The Meó Union is home to over 400 unique languages and multilingualism is widespread. The two most spoken languages, by far, are the two lingua francas Standard Meó and [[Standard Modern Htaevic]]. Standard Meó, based on the Aesanma dialect, is spoken as a first language by approximately 45% of the population, with a furth 20% speaking other forms of Meó. Standard Modern Htaevic is a partly artificial language based on the Yot Siae Kan dialect supplemented with an enormous influence from [[Classical Htaevic]] in formal fields. It used by approximately 30% of the population as a lingua franca. Both languages are written using [[Unified Hlunliw]]. Htaevic is the compulsory first language of instruction in areas with a Htaevic majority and Meó is taught as a second language, whilst the inverse is true for Meó majority areas. Areas which are neither Htaevic nor Meó majority are subject to different laws. The subjects Classical Htaevic and Meó Literature are compulsory subjects in secondary school regardless of ethnic or linguistic background.

			== Ethnic Groups ==
			Meó are the majority ethnic grouping, followed closely by Htaevic peoples, the remainder being a wide variety of other ethnic groups. Ethnic boundaries have never been particularly strong within the region and mixed families are common. The rural areas of the Htasei basin are an exception, being overwhelmingly monoethnic Meó.

Snails and some reptiles & amphibians (or the Pavalan equivalent) are eaten as they are considered aquatic under dietary norms. In general - if it flies or swims, it's good to eat. All other forms of animals are taboo to eat. Additionally, eating fruit and fish together or sequentially is generally frowned upon. Raw fish is commonly eaten, but the most common form of consumption of meat (including insects) is lightly fried, usually in cocotato oil and a blend of aromatic herbs and spices. Many cooking techniques have been developed to suit each form of meat. Raw milk is generally avoided, as it is seen as a harbinger of ignorance and wickedness, so processed products from milk such as cheese are much more common. Milk is usually treated as an ingredient rather than consumed by itself for this reason. Meó cuisine generally is meat-averse, using it as a complement to a meal rather than the main component, preferring to get proteins from other sources such as eggs or cheese - many dishes are therefore vegetarian. The exception to this is the heavy use of insects in some regions - a particular favourite being the [[Giant Kiyawasp]] for its nutty, delicate flavour and pleasant texture.

			Besides area for beds/futons (which is determined by number of individuals), the services are defined by households, not by individual (i.e. a household of 5 is entitled to one shower/toilet, as is a household of 1).

			Further appliances or rooms may be rented/bought from the private sector.
