In my Jansholm game, I allow players to pick between Sartar Whitewall style background and Esrolia North March style background. Esvulari players swap out one Sartar Homeland Weapon of their choice for Household Management regardless of gender.  The remnant of the Heortland Sixth should be a wild mashup of cultures that used to 'live in perfect harmony' but now... do not.  

In my house campaign people from Jansholm can pick Sartarite Whitewall style backgrounds or Esrolian North March style backgrounds and both be fine for play and even be related.  There's always room for drama between Air Based Country Folk and Earthish City People.
