In this way, several "layers" of cultures can be stacked ... Think about a
nation composed of several clans : race->culture->nation->clan... Note
that's a strict systemic approach, because clans are likely to have the same
culture.
But I think "nation" (or "realms", or "tribes", or whatever you want) is an
important concept : it's (not so) obvious different nations can have
different languages ; and one nation could be famous for its horse breeding
and riding abilities, while another is famous for religious fanatism (any of
its inhabitant would have some clerical abilities)...
That depends on the campaign settings.

Well, up to now, I didn't read FR for 3e. What's the idea ?
