Among the two Level Three civilizations Gao Gong knew of, the Garen Republic did not accept immigrants from outside.
The Mirta, however, accepted both species immigration and species modification.
Both policies had their advantages and disadvantages.
The latter granted the positive "Immigrant Economy +20%" buff, but the price was ideological confusion, border conflicts, and racial tensions.
That was an inevitable consequence of an immigration-based national policy.
