Canpei: Difference between revisions

Line 192:

'''Zuiyuan''': The majority group in Canpei is a group of people called Zuiyuan, which is a term that only distinctly emerged in the mid-1800's. Roughly signifying 'northerners', the Zuiyuan are assumed to be comprised of the descendants of Canpei before the Zhong reconquest of the province, that is the original settlers who intermixed with the native nomad populations. Those that came after the fall of the [[United Cities]] were traditionally seen as colonizers and treated with suspicion since they displaced the locals from most positions of power and influence. The independence movement and first governments of Canpei were dominated by the Zuiyuan but after the Corummese invasion, policies that disadvantaged other groups were dropped. Corummese anthropologists do not recognize the Zuiyuan as a distinct group, instead using the term of Plains Corummese.

'''Corummese''':

'''Corummese''': For political purposes, the Canpei government separated part of its population fron the main Zuiyuan group after independence. Those whose descent did not go back far enough in time were barred from self-identifying as Zuiyuan and therefore had less standing before the state. This system of tiered citizenship eventually became intolerable for Corummese on both sides of the border, leading to the collapse of the post-independence government by armed force. Today Corummese are just over 20% of the population, have equal standing to other ethnic groups and due to their connections to [[Corumm]], are a very significant economic and political force.
