Interesting.  The listed numbers options are those of localised and likely tightly-knit communities, which is not necessarily what I think of when I hear 'creating a people'.  If you wanted to create a holdover from the Empire influential class of Latin speaking landowners, or a diaspora of monotheists, or a Anatolian kingdom known for its wealthy cities, or Nordic people seafarers and warriors, these are on a much larger scale.  Are these all (intended to be) covered under 'as you choose' numbers option, or is there another scale for that level of 'culture' or similar?
If not, how does it interact if I want to create a specific clan of red-haired expansionsts as a distinction from their surrounding communities, but still absolutely part of that larger seafaring people you had previously defined?  Do we mark or note their interrelationship?  Am I informed by your choices when I pick mine, but no more?

Just some questions that occur.  Looking forward to seeing more of the project!
