Even then, though, it was fringe (and is even more today, since no one recognizes ISIS). This seems like a more mainstream idea.
[/quote]To be fair what would you do with nearly a dozen different races, though?
It's one thing to advocate cultural freedoms between fellow humans but I feel it's a miracle that our nations can have members of different races cooperating in a decent way.
And that miracle is often called religion. Before the birth of modern nations the one things which mattered was religion. National identity was negligible compared to one's religious standing.
That being said the nations calling "heathens" or messing with people out of religious motivation are scarce even in this game. It just happens that the Nazis of our setting use the state religion to their cause while the other big player Ceresia just reinstated their empire from roughly the middle ages. I can't call either as "mainstream".
