Basic Cultural/Regional Experience

Each nation, kingdom, country, or locale with a large homogenous population to represent it can have a cultural experience with associated Aspect Adjustments to represent it. Cultural norms defined through the experiences are broad brush strokes. Individual locales will either have documented differences or GMs and players can agree on the differences themselves and document it however they see fit (optionally inheriting some or all aspects of a base experience). Cultural/Regional norms may have restrictions on other experiences (upbringings, backgrounds, pathways, etc.).
