Caracua is a deeply diverse country containing more than a dozen major ethnic groups as well as more than a hundred varied peripheral peoples, some of whom are isolated (and nearly {{wp|uncontacted peoples}}) transient tribes while others are minorities from neighboring countries, most prominently the [[Algosh Republic]]. Caracua does not have a single majority cultural group. Rather, the fourteen primary cultural groups are generally referred to as the "Great Nations". The Great Nations, which more or less form a cohesive "mainstream culture" in Caracua, were all previously major members of the [[Northern Confederation]]. As such, the Great Nations have a very long tradition of unity in diversity, and cohesion of different peoples for a single purpose is not only the founding political ideology of the Caracuan state but also a fundamental cornerstone value of its society. | Caracua is a deeply diverse country containing more than a dozen major ethnic groups as well as more than a hundred varied peripheral peoples, some of whom are isolated (and nearly {{wp|uncontacted peoples}}) transient tribes while others are minorities from neighboring countries, most prominently the [[Algosh Republic]].

The fourteen Great Nations are the main constituents of the Caracua Federation and represent the fourteen largest ethnic and cultural groups within the country. The synthesis of these fourteen peoples is considered to be "mainstream Caracuan culture", whereby there is a shared broader social consensus and worldview on a number of topics while each group still retains their own traditions, mores, and even languages. | The fourteen Great Nations are the main constituents of the Caracua Federation and represent the fourteen largest ethnic and cultural groups within the country.

The Toposa Ashkenauk, the Yanota Ashkenauk, the Atakapa Ashkenauk, and the Mishauk share linguistic bonds and a degree of shared history, and sometimes they are collectively considered a singular "Ashkenauk" nation; together they make up the plurality of all people within Caracua. | The Toposa Ashkenauk, the Yanota Ashkenauk, the Atakapa Ashkenauk, and the Mishauk share linguistic bonds and a degree of shared history, and sometimes they are collectively considered a singular "Ashkenauk" nation; together they make up the plurality of all people within Caracua. | ||

The remaining peoples of Caracua who are not part of the fourteen Great Nations are typically referred to as "peripheries" by Occidental scholars. This includes a very broad array of peoples, most prominently including [[Algosh Republic|Algosh people]] but also [[List_of_peoples_of_Cusinaut#A-D|Acuera]] nomads, and many other peoples including mostly {{wp|uncontacted peoples}} at the far northern extreme of the country. | The remaining peoples of Caracua who are not part of the fourteen Great Nations are typically referred to as "peripheries" by Occidental scholars.
