I envisioned that, since it's called WUTAI, as in like Five Plateau's, there's going to be give clans and they are all FFVII's version of our world's Asia. Like, one would be Indian, One is Korean clans, One is Chinese, another Japanese, and the other is.... somewhere in Southeast Asia (I'm pretty horrible about how non-specific that is).
Now, I didn't go with the royalty card. I thought of Tseng as being some orphan who was taken in by monks but left Wutai because he believed more in the modern innovations that Shin-ra provided. I also thought that there are more Chinese and Korean-related nationalities, and my reasoning is based on the enemy characters in Crisis Core. But Kisaragi's clan, which is smaller than all of the 5 tribes, happened to be the ruling government because of rituals relating to Leviathan, and Gah! My god, I can go on forever about this! I planned an entire civilization in my head and it's commentary about current Asian-y affairs because Sci-fi/Fantasy has one of the awesome purposed like re-imagining society and its problems and choices in a different world as an allegory and allusions...
