Concept of race in your nation

[Izweababa]

In Izweababa, race is either European (Beruba), African (Afrika), or Asian (Chinwa). Hispanics are normally defined as European.

[Aeterna Lacrimosa]

The Utopian Society of Aeterna Lacrimosa recognizes race as a social concept under the reasons that geographical divides between continents, regions, and nations are purely socio-political fabrications of the human governments if race were to be defined by the continent of origin.

The Utopian Society of Aeterna Lacrimosa refutes the notion that race is a biological concept under the reason that there are no absolute definitions as to what sets one race apart from the others. There are no clear, valid features that define a certain race because that feature may be shared by a member of another race. Therefore, Aeterna Lacrimosa rejects the notion that race is a physiological concept.

The Federal Governance of Aeterna Lacrimosa further refutes the notion that race can be determined by genetics as there is no specific gene or sets of genes that defines a race. Until this notion is scientifically supported, Aeterna Lacrimosa will reject race as a biological concept.

Furthermore, many Lacrimosians are multiracial and therefore, setting up biological, physiological, or genetic definitions in terms of determining race would be complicated and would be of little use if that information were to be archived.

Therefore, Aeterna Lacrimosa recognizes race as no more than a personal, self given social identity.

Aeterna Lacrimosa celebrates differences and diversity, as evident in the Federal Governance's funding in celebratory events, festivals, and educational programs. We believe that it is important to understand that no race is superior or inferior to others, and that mutual understanding between our diverse races is necessary in order to maintain social order and societal harmony.

[Apalaxia]

The society of the Old World put stock in racial difference. And while genetic predispositions are a real factor in human behavior, and while the various clines of man have phenotypical difference, it is the opinion of Caesar and his Government that there is no true difference between any of the supposed 'races' of man. This was a concept brewn during the days of the Atlantic Slave Trade and fostered concepts of Xenophobia which are anathema to the relic mission we have inherited from the United States, and our evangelism to adopt new peoples to cleanse the world.

All offspring of this species, whatever their origin tribe, may be incorporated into Apalaxia's Dominion so long as they submit to Caesar and pay him fealty. It would benefit these people also to become Cleansed in the site of the Holy Spirit and accept the corvies of service that shall replenish this accursed Earth, but it is not necessary, many among the Unclean count us as overlords though they do not possess the same privileges.

It is unfortunate however, that the opinions of our Government and scripture do not always proceed from us to our constituent tribes. Inter-community conflict is not unheard of and bloodfeuds among our vassals have left clans and villages desolate. We do our best to curb such through ritual cleansing and Imperial Unity, though not all listen.

[Fatatatutti]

"You have brown eyes; you're not white."
-- General Marie-Louise Castro-Stalina (who has blonde hair and blue eyes) to a white supremacist, while on peacekeeping duty.

Virtually all Fatatatutians, regardless of physical characteristics, claim partial native Fatatatutian ancestry. New immigrants are also welcomed into the all-encompassing "race".

[Ermarian]

While the humans of the Empire have diverse genetic traits, which are (to some extent) correlated with region of origin, the social component is basically non-existent. Social and economic class division runs orthogonal to ethnicity (ie. you could not predict a person's income or family status by their skin color any better than a random guess), and there are no distinct subcultures.

The Empire does have quite a large variety of sapient species (fifty at the last census) which all have more or less distinct traditions, cultures and languages. Some of them have a history of oppression by humans, while others have either long shunned human contact or arrived in this world only recently.

[Tahcri]

Race is just a facet of life within the borders of the Republic: it's clearly recognized and is unavoidable. The skrilli, a type of bird people, are the vast majority within tahcri. The other races (humans, elves, orcs, ect...) also exist within the nation, with the humans being the largest of the minority races here.

[Unrepresented Peoples]

We love all nations registered with european unrepresented nations

[Khasinkonia]

Race has never been a very important issue in Khasinkonia, because they believe that individuals aren't incredibly important to begin with, so the specific details of someone's appearance are considered completely useless for anything other than a missing person case. This belief is summed up quite well in this song.

[Frangleterre]

We don't have a word for race in Franglish, however the word for the concept of species is defined by the National Academy of the Franglish Language as "a group of living individuals able to procreate together at at least some point of their life and to give birth to an outspring able to procreate too". The species able to access the Franglish citizenship are Humans, Arcadians, Nekos, Ministerials, Sentient Machines, and Hybrids with an observable percentage of at least one of those species' ancestry. All of those species are considered equal by the law, however, tensions and incidents still regularly occur between species. Frangleterre being in Arcadia the most powerful of the two nations being in majority human, those tensions mainly occurs between Humans (representing the majority in Frangleterre) and Arcadians (representing the majority on the planet). Due to the Wars between the Noladen Nekos and the Settlers of the Ministerial homenation, and nourished by the great debate over the recognising by Frangleterre of the Ministerial Genocide of Nekos, great tensions are also registered between the Ministerial and Neko Minorities, with both the Franglish and the Arcadians usually backing the Nekos. Tensions between Ministerials and Nekos are largely more frequent than those between Franglish and Arcadians. Other species are clasified depending on their caracteristics and their clasification determine their treatment by the Empire. In the end, if indead Frangleterre sees "races" as a social construct non-existing in the Empire that Franglish people don't even have a word to define, it doesn't prevent the nation from "racial" tensions, due to Arcadia being a multi-species planet.

[HMS Vanguard]

HMS Vanguardians are a superior race to regular humans, being more intelligent, wittier, and better in bed. Some believe that HMS Vanguardians are in fact not humans, and call for humans to be classed separately with the higher animals, such as dolphins. Such proposals are however regarded as rather utopian. Nonetheless, it is difficult for regular humans to find paid employment and they are essentially ruled out from any high position in society. The prison population is disproportionately composed of regular humans.

[Koshkarus]

4 legs or more (wings are considered legs): GOOD

2 legs: BAD

[Haldar]

Concept of race is split into two divisions;

- Overmen. (Any member of the original thirteen tribes of Terra).
- The Thirteen Tribes:
1. Haldaron.
2. Germanic.
3. Celtic.
4. Anglo-Saxon.
5. Roman.
6. Nippon.
7. Han.
8. Maori.
9. Norse.
10. Umbrian.
11. Hellenic.
12. Atlantic.
13. Pueblos.
- Undermen. (Any culture not apart of the original thirteen tribes).

[Vietnamese Transhumans]

Race is considered to be only defined by species.

That notion was widely accepted when the chickens came out of their farms and started ethnically cleansing all humans in sight.

[Vallermoore]

Only black humans are seen as inferior by most Vallermooreians, although a few are more racist.

[Dahon]

"Race", in the sense of groups of people with immutable biological characteristics that in turn could be ranked or otherwise parsed logically, is a foreign concept (and a very unpopular one), introduced only at the beginning of the nineteenth century, after normal diplomatic (but not commercial) relations with the British Empire were fully reestablished (through the Treaties of Tiruchirappalli in 1799 and of Himei in 1802).

[Vatyrzom]

A concept constructed by the bourgeoisie to divide and conquer the proletariat by appealing to the xenophobia of the poorly educated. Racial discrimination is one of the more prevalent and destructive forms of false consciousness and must be opposed by the vanguard of the revolution at every chance and every moment.

[Northern Freikur]

North Freikur does not often get caught up in 'racism'. However, race still exists. Northern Freikur allows people to practice their own culture, as long as it does not interfere too much with the people of North Freikur. At the same time, Integration is encouraged.

[Kraslavia]

Problem of race fade away in multispecies world...

[Zhouran]

[Renetopia]

The citizens of Renetopia are as racially diverse as you can get, with every traditional race and mixture imaginable. Thus, the concept of race has been in decline ever since the 20th century. During the 1940's however, the totalitarian government that ruled Renetopia created laws that discriminated races that weren't considered "pure". During these turbulent times, the population was classified as either:
a) Pure or Biaro (white/European)
b) Lesser or Sandnar (Asian)
c) Vile or Fonno (everyone else).

After the dissolution of the dictatorship, all races were considered equal. Censuses had the question of race until the early 21st century, when the term was abolished. Race was also replaced with skin color in the Renetopian constitution.

[Gig em Aggies]

In the Galactic empire race is defined as what planet you come from plus what you are.
Example: Species: Human + planet: Sirius = Race

[Forn Norroent Haeimr]

It's no secret that Northmen tend to be friendlier to their kinsmen than towards foreigners. However, Forn Norrœnt Hæimr places every citizen in an equal standing regardless of their race, ethnicity, nationality, origin or skin color. We have our racialists who'd like to exclude non-Nordic and/or non-white Northmen from our revered traditions. We also require immigrants to learn about us, our language and our culture before becoming full citizens. That said, if you go through all that, you'll be considered a true Northman no matter what you look like and where you're from. In Forn Norrœnt Hæimr, we place next to no significance on one's genetics, yet we recognize the existence of different biological races.

[Kirav]

The Western concept of race, that is, sorting people by physical, biological features (especially skin colour) into groups associated with a particular continent has never existed in Kiravia.

Now, this does not in any way imply that Kiravians are incapable of racial prejudice. On the contrary, Kiravians are extremely prejudiced, and discriminatory when it comes to other ethnic groups (even other Coscivian ethnic groups or long-established "national minorities"); tribes, clans, and subgroups within their own ethnic group; people from other regions of the country, and certainly foreigners. It's just that culture, language, religion, and civilisational origin (Western, Coscivian, Eastern, etc.) weigh on the Kiravian mind much more than skin colour.

[Chelta]

In Cheltish culture race is not as important a distinction between peoples as culture. Race is obviously the most visible, physical distinction, and Chelta is obviously not a completely "colourblind" society, but race is not treated as something that poses an insuperable barrier between individuals. That is, between a white Cheltan and an Asian Cheltan who have both grown up in Chelta within Cheltish culture, race is not considered to be a distinction of any importance; the racial difference really is considered (and in fact is) only skin deep, and in that sense race will be effectively ignored.

But it's a different situation for people (whether of a minority race or not) who belong to a different culture. Culture is considered a much more substantial distinction between individuals, because culture is not merely a biological incident: it determines people's worldview, experiences, habits, beliefs, and expectations, and has the potential to create issues that race by itself doesn't.

[Autonomous Star Systems of Metrisia]

All the different people (includes humans and various aliens) divide themselves by species rather than race, the concept of races within species doesn't really exist within Metrisian Territory and only subspecies are recognized.

Artificial Intelligence units in Metrisia go even further than this and only differentiate between Synthetic and Organic lifeforms, they view all organics the same way and don't really prefer any one species over another.

Pictured here is the human planet Dividos II, It has a sizable population of non-human immigrants with members of the Ite'Ko species of Reptilian humanoids making up the largest group. The planet's administrator as with every other planet is an AI.
