*'''Caste system''' - The government of Xisheng has rolled out a system of racial categories to determine the social and legal standing of the inhabitants of the province. This caste system is best represented by a pyramid with [[Daxian people|Daxians]] at the very top with full rights and special protections and following them in descending order are Rusani, Chimor, Ixa'Takan, Ajaw, Nuun and Varshani. In the case of relations between a Daxian and someone of a lower ethnicity that result in a child being born, the Daxian parent has the option of paying a significant fine to have the child registered as fully Daxian or leave it with the non-Daxian parent to be registered with his or her ethnicity; regardless of the choice the non-Daxian parent is subject to arrest. Children of mixed Cronan descent are entitled to be registered with the caste of the father. | *'''Caste system''' - The government of Xisheng has rolled out a system of racial categories to determine the social and legal standing of the inhabitants of the province.
