The Nemotron-Personas-El Salvador dataset, released by NVIDIA in 2026, is a dataset of synthetic El Salvadoran people. It aims to comprehensively reflect the diversity and characteristics of the El Salvadoran population and is primarily used to support the development of AI models for El Salvadoran sovereignty, mitigate data bias, and enhance the diversity of model responses within the El Salvadoran cultural context. This dataset contains 148,000 records, totaling approximately 1 million character descriptions and about 300 million tokens, of which 161 million tokens are character-related information. The data covers 14 provinces and 44 cities in El Salvador and includes approximately 144,000 unique names. This dataset is based on real demographic, geographical distribution, and occupational statistics from El Salvador's 2024 Seventh National Population Census and Sixth National Housing Census. All characters are completely virtual and do not correspond to any real personal identity information; data on minors under the age of 18 has also been excluded.

Data Fields:

The dataset contains 25 valid data fields (excluding UUID), divided into 7 personality attribute fields and 18 demographic feature fields:

• Character attribute fields: covering occupational profile, sports hobbies, artistic talents, travel preferences, dietary habits, family roles, and overall personality.
• Demographic characteristics fields include: cultural background, skills and expertise, interests and hobbies, career goals, gender, age, language, marital status, family situation, education level, occupation type, and region and country of residence (fixed to El Salvador).
