' Wrote:How about taking into account different gravitational levels of different planets?
They're not listed in the wiki, but it would be fair to assume people would develop different physical appearance on different planets. Dwarves on high g-level planets and so on. 8-|
Yeah, I totally stole that idea from Dan Simmons.
What about Space Stations, or being born in ships? They have artificial-G, so such a solution would be somewhat problematic under those circumstances.

If you're asking what 'race' people are who have mixed background, IMO, due to the relative ease of space travel, genetic trees in some areas are just so mixed up with different backgrounds that it's impossible to define one particular racial area, such as the Zoners.
Also, Rheinland is not Russia. It is Germany.
Bretonia is more than British, it is more like the entire United Kingdom.
Hispania is most definitely -not- Caucasian, you've got your terminology wrong there. It's the least defined Sleeper Ship in terms of old earth races (someone else correct me if I'm wrong) but they're Spanish and/or South American.
Thanks for correcting me there on various points.
- Yes, I guess that's what the SCRA are for.
- Really...? I just call those people from UK British people. I've never heard someone say something like, "He's a UK-ian," so that's how I assumed people from UK were basically Brits.
- Yes, a blunder on my part. I was going for that suggestion of Spanish/Latin origin, but I referred to the game of Fallout 3 for Hispania's judgement. Guess where that turned out...? :$

Excluding Rei Ikari & Doctor Beckett, all chars I RP (Jeremy, Ellie, Izzy, Zack, Tobias, Strix, Xi, etc) are from planet LA.
Thought Strix and Xi have,a bit of Kusari blood, I say they are,Libertonian.
I say its where they are raised.
this seems like the simplest and most practical solution. But what about a case of something like Planet Erie? Since that Planet's in Libertonian Territory, does that make the Zoners there now technically Libertonian? If not, then if a baby's born on Planet Erie, then does that mean he/she's a Zoner?
Also... if this was the case, then if a person was born in Dublin, then they're a Molly? Does that mean they are now obliged to help the Mollys there? Or is that place still considered Bretonian territory, due to Mollys still not having been granted autonomy?
