How detailed will POPs ethnic representation be?

[Pshek]

Nations was definitely not last aspect of Vicky II and its era. Still there were parts of the world not so detailed with broad "african minorities" or "natives" cultures, many countries were very homogenous and like always we seen some abstract stuff. Will we see european small nations (like frisians or sorbs or bretons) , a LOT of russian minorities, ottoman and middle eastern ones and etc? How will you divide germans and italians? French people? Ohhhh... I remember many arguing about Switzerland too. And what about... famous intelligent bears of Jan Mayen?
So how is the balance set between gameplay and deep detailing in regard to cultures?

If I see a unified 100% homogenous "Swiss" culture again I'll be disappointed.

The 6k word info dump mentions cultures having "traits" rather than arbitrary groupings and divisions (at least that's how I understood it when reading). For instance, an Englishmen shares traits with Americans (think of WASP stuff) and will be more easily accepted (and assimilated I assume?) than a Sicilian as an example. What are these traits? Language is mentioned, as well as race when African Americans are brought up, religion seems to be meshed with it as well. Can be even more complex, we just haven't gotten a good example, can't wait for a dev diary on it tbh.

Overall these are good signs as it seems culture in Vicky 3 is now much more nuanced than just plain arbitrary divisions.
