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".

===Intercultural relations=== | |||
Relations between the statutory and transferee peoples in Washakara has undergone various stages and has varied by party control and world events. Generally, when the relocations began, most statutory people viewed the people being relocated into their land not as interlopers but as victims, and in the 19th century many "Relocatee Benefit Soceities" were established among the statutory elite to provide for the basic needs of the transferees who were wthout employment or land to sustain themselves. The so-called "paternalist era" of intercultural relations lasted until around [[1905]], not long after the establishment of Washakara as a sovereign entity. After that time, the governments of Washakara attempted to resist additional relocations or immigration by indigienous peoples from its neighboring states, and popular opinion began to view transferees as a societal burden; transferees were viewed as economic leaches and generally undesirable among statutory society. This view remained the predominant one for the first half of the 20th century. Legal {{wp|segregation}} took effect in [[1917]] and lasted until [[1970]]. During the 1950s, various civil rights movements for the transferees among statutory peoples began, and various pan-Cronan notions improved intercultural relations somewhat during the 1950s and 60s. Legal segregation was abolished in 1970, and the transferees were given the right to vote in [[1967]]. | |||
Despite the political reforms undertaken by the statutory peoples, significant resentment still exists between the peoples. Among statutory Washakarans, the transferees are viewed as little more than {{wp|welfare queen}}s and people without an identity; many view the transferees as ungrateful for causing disruption among the ancestral land of the statutory peoples. Among the transferees, the statutory peoples are viewed as oppressors and a domineering {{wp|overclass}} who, despite reforms, dominate society. Many view the statutory peoples as agents of [[Occidental]] oppression. | |||
