Blancos are an ethnic group in Slokais Islands of those with primarily Sanctarian ancestry. However, for census purposes and culturally speaking, the term has come to encompass those from Western Hesperidan countries as well. Per the 2025 Census, 5,683,230 people primarily identified as Blancos.
History
The term Blancos emerged in the 1600s to describe non-Costenoian settlers who were arriving in the San Fernando Colony. This included those from Valahandia and its colonies, as well as those from Sanctaria and its colonies who arrived to claim farmland. Initially having the same rights as ethnic Costenos, later policy removed their status as full citizens. This led to specific migration and settlement of the island of Acadia as well as the Northern Isles, as these areas were until the 1790s's not part of the San Fernando Colony.
