Editing Bjeorg independence movement (section)

=== Ethnicity ===
One of the most contentious issues among separatists is whether or not the movement is ethno-nationally defined. Historically, many groups, including ANM, considered the island of Bjeorg to be a "Iasgier homeland," thereby refusing to acknowledge any distinction between Bjeorgite separatism and Iasgier nationalism. The majority of groups, particularly those still active today, however, emphasize the preservation of Bjeorg's unique cultural identity as the primary impetus for secession. At the beginning of the conflict, many Maximusian officials feared that non-Iasgier Bjeorgite residents would be targeted for extrajudicial violence by more ethnically oriented groups, though most attacks targeted Maximusian federal officials and officers, rather than random civilians. Of the dozen or so major groups involved in the 1991 insurgency, around half excepted members of non-Iasgier extraction.
