Mirzak: Difference between revisions

Being a global city, Mirzak is ethnically more diverse than other [[Daxia]]n cities both for its position as a place of trade and economic activity and for its past as an imperial center. Some twenty percent of the city's inhabitants are non-[[Daxian people|Daxian]], with important communities of Muslims from [[Rusana]], imported north [[Crona]]ns indentured servants, Jews, abducted [[Coscivian]]s and more recent migrants from [[Polynesia]]. Mixing between ethnic groups is societally frowned upon so every group tends to live apart in its own separate ethnic clusters. While the [[Daxian people|Daxian]] population of the capital is reputed to be more open to foreign cultures, there are still powerful undercurrents of xenophobia. Public demands for the forced acculturation of minorities continue to surface periodically. Neighborhoods populated by [[Cronan]] or [[Polynesian]] peoples are more akin to underclass ghettos neglected by the city and often with only intermittent access to public services.
