Notes

Magic
If the nation tolerates or allows magic in public society
Non-Humans
If nation allows non-human races in common areas
Slavery
If nation allows or condones/participates in slavery
Outsiders
If a nation deals well with strangers or fears them

Special Notes

*
Abolished Slavery but does it for crime punishment
**
Kameran women use magic others fear it.
***
No Use of Magic leans to suspicion & fear of non-humans since they tend to cast magic in some fashion. Also for Katai if a foriegner is not Katai he is barbarian thus tolerated but with little station in daily life.
****
Caldo, hates Trolls and Giants

EXAMPLE - Clima : Magic is TSF. They tolerate and see magic used by Priestess in everyday rituals but are suspicious and fearful of it at the same time. They are neutral to non-humans yet fearful on average since they are isolated do not see non-humans as most nations. They do have alvery and to outsiders are neutral but suspicious.

EXAMPLE - Dirllar : Magic is HF. This means due to Nilgeranthrib they both hate and fear magic in public. Use of magic in public can be dangerous here. Because of this they are neutral yet fearful of non-humans. Since non-humans tend to do magic (innately) they tend to be fearful of them. They are neutral to slavery as far as I could see and are neutral to strangers but are suspicious of them.
