Notes:

Generally Xinese from the colonies are seen as lower to the home land Xin (Save some of the Far east colonies) Each stretch of colonies acts as it's own administrative region under control of a Viceroy and a council of generals. Although both positions must abide to the laws of the Council of 5 and the emperor.

Xinese from the colonies are called many names including but not limited to Dongyi and Nanman.
