Editing Species rights

{{Version|2.3}}
[[File:speciesrights.jpg|thumb|450px|Species rights interface.]]
'''Species rights''' is a system where the rights of [[species|species]] in an [[empire]] can be determined. The rights can be determined individually for each species in- and outside of the empire. Rights can be changed every 10 years. What rights can be selected depends on if the species is the main species of the empire, what [[ethics]] the empire has, active [[policies]] and [[government]] forms. The set rights interface can be found from the species panel.

== Citizenship ==
{{SVersion|2.3}}
Citizenship represents the status of a species in an empire: whether they are free or subjugated, whether or not they can participate in the political processes of the country, what restrictions can be placed on them and even whether they have the right to live in your empire at all. In addition to rights and obligations, citizenship also affects [[pops]]' migration attraction: A Pop that is currently enjoying full citizenship is unlikely to move to another empire where their rights could potentially be curtailed, while Pops living under second-class citizen conditions are more likely to move to an empire that would grant them a fairer life. Note that enslaved Pops cannot migrate but may potentially revolt if they are dissatisfied enough and their overlord is inattentive.

== Living standards ==
{{SVersion|2.3}}
Living Standards represents how economically favored a population is, for example whether they benefit from social welfare or have restrictions placed on what kinds of occupations they can be employed in. The higher the living standards of a Pop is, the more Consumer Goods it will use, and the happier the species will be.
