Interesting as all that is to read and to recognize, I am deeply concerned when Filira Salazar insists on the most atavistic and questionable point of the historic Treaty of the Four Peoples.
None of the four nations grants any participation or representation to stateless homins, even of their own descent on the national level. Before the Second Great Swarming, that was the case to some extent in some parts of the world in the Empire, the Federation, and even the Theocracy, and was under discussion in the Kingdom. In other parts of the world other rules applied, the most elaborated being the representation of the statelesss (apatrides) in the aforementioned document T.E.N.A.N.T.
The clause in the historical treaty could only be justified as far as there were representation and participation of stateless homins. The TENANT construction, insofar it deals with the stateless homins, is ways more logical and elegant than any solution grudgingly granting them some symbolic participation and representation. The point is not to reclaim all the duties and responsibilities laid down in that historic document, but to ensure due representation and participation of the stateless among the free peoples of the new lands.
As to the text of the historical document, I, Daomei, from documented Tryker and Zorai descent, and possibly other, since like me, none of my ancestors ever cared wet shit for "race" in sharing sympathy, relationship, and love, do not accept any allegiance stemming from my phenotype. I consider that paragraph as an anachronism born from need to formulate any kind of ordering. We should do better today.
