[b][u]ETHNICITY SYSTEM[/u][/b]

Ethnicities are divided into three categories:
[i]Respected[/i]- Ethnicity is respected and generally preferred in certain specialized areas, but still closed off from some areas of power
[i]Accepted[/i] - Accepted Ethnicity are tolerated, but not endorsed.
[i]Oppressed[/i] - Ethnicity is oppressed and considered inferior to official groups.

Nations start out with one "Core" ethnicity that is considered [i]National[/i]. Others are automatically oppressed unless upgraded or bought at nation start.
