Washakaran society is largely distinguished into two major "classes" or "groupings" within Washakaran society - members of the so-called "statutory tribes" and the "transferees". The statutory tribes are tribes who have always occupied the lands consisting of present Washakaran territory, and until the mid-20th century they were the only groups given the right to vote. The transferees are groups of people who were forcibly relocated to Washakara by the governments of [[Paulastra]] and [[Arcerion]]. As the nation has existed for nearly a century and a half, unique cultural traditions have been established among each group as well as those which transcend groupings. Due to close interaction, both politically and culturally, both groups have largely established relatively uniform cultural traditions despite themselves largely originating from dozens of diverse tribes. | Washakaran society is largely distinguished into two major "classes" or "groupings" within Washakaran society - members of the so-called "statutory tribes" and the "transferees".

The nation's flag and arms, adopted in [[1980]], reflects the diverse origin of its people. The flag's four colors and the patchwork of color on the crest's buffalo attempt to depict people of many different backgrounds coming together into one nation. | |||

The fourteen statutory tribes - those recognized by treaty with [[Paulastra]] - are the predominant cultural group in Washakara with respect to economic presence and public visibility. Statutory culture largely retains many of the cultural traditions and mores present in Washakara for centuries, but has also begun to integrate elements of [[Occidental]] civilization due to statutory wealth and influence of the neighboring powers. | The fourteen statutory tribes - those recognized by treaty with [[Paulastra]] - are the predominant cultural group in Washakara with respect to economic presence and public visibility.
