This paper addresses the challenge of generating persona sets that realistically reflect the diversity and distribution of real-world populations in large-scale language model (LLM)-based social simulations. While previous studies have primarily focused on agent frameworks and simulation environments, this paper proposes a systematic framework that leverages long-term social media data to generate narrative personas using LLMs and achieves global alignment with reference psychometric distributions, such as the Big Five personality traits, through rigorous quality assessment and importance sampling. Furthermore, we introduce task-specific modules that apply globally aligned persona sets to target subgroups tailored to specific simulation situations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly reduces population-level bias and enables accurate and flexible social simulations for diverse research and policy applications.
