We had been talking about naming ethnicities in our world to reflect the fact that, well, it's a different world than Earth. So here's how this is gonna work. I'm going to make a list of several different Earth ethnicities, and everyone can reply and say what their top three largest most significant populations are (for example, Ebatica is Inuit/American Indian, Pacific Islander, and Caucasian.) I'll edit this post to add your nation. Then, after a few days or however long it takes for the majority of members to respond, each person who has an ethnicity in their top three will be responsible for deciding with the others in their group what to name them (so Parhe, Arum and whoever else would discuss amongst themselves what to name that group of people. The same will be done for everyone's top three.) If there are any leftover, we can discuss as a region what to name the others (or wait until we have a nation come that has that ethnicity, or just get rid of it entirely.) Also, I'm going to attempt to be fairly general here, so if you have an ethnicity that isn't represented, or think that a certain group could be divided up into sub-divisions, please let me know. However, let's please try to keep this fairly open and general so that we don't have a million little sub-divisions of each individual one.

So here goes, in no particular order:

Caucasian - Malonian

Sub-Saharan African - Arumdaum

Northern African -

Hispanic - Arumdaum, Rabble-Rousing Rockabilly Radsters

Japanese - Vitius, Vit Draken, Arumdaum, Rabble-Rousing Rockabilly Radsters, Parhe

Chinese - Vitius, Vit Draken, Arumdaum

Mohe - Parhe

Korean - Vitius, Vit Draken, Arumdaum, Parhe

Vietnamese - Arumdaum

Indian -

SE Asian - Vitius

Central Asian - Vitius

Tibetan - Parhe

Russian - Kouklika, Parhe

Portuguese - Surrilic

Spanish - Arumdaum, Chagsuhada

French - Chagsuhada

Swedish - Embark

Norwegian - Embark

Dutch - Embark

Greek - Aralainic

Italian - Chagsuhada

Irish/Gaelic -

Arabic - Tsiliran

Native American - Hialeah

Pacific Islander - Akamai (but also known as Calphian)

Caribbean/Afro-American (Jamaica, Louisiana Creole, etc.) - Manti

Inuit - Ebatica, Vitius

Well, since Embark has a huge Scandinavian population and Vitius has no particular order, do we just want to let everyone list all of their ethnicities? Or maybe even just significant ones, with no limit to how many there are?

Significant ethnicities are Syvorjins (RL Indian people, following a variation of Buddhism), Syvorjins and Syvorjins.

Basically, they compromise 96% of the population. ;)

Since some ethnicities have already been named (Arumdaumin, Syvorjian), I'll just make them their own thing, and people can decide whether or not to have them in their nation on their own.

Well if you want Arumdaun or Syvorjins in your nation I think you should have to talk to the person and agree on a number between themselves instead of randomly having a country made up of 99% Arumdaun\Syvorjin\other made up ethnicities

I agree with that. If you want any "national" ethnicities, then discuss it with the guy who made them up. Sounds fair to me.
