While I know you can't use specific races/groups of people as your national animal or currency, can I use the word 'human' in a generic sense?

Well, I know someone who uses the Human Animal, so I don't see why just Human is any different.

I'm hoping the context will help too, it's supposed to be a nation of the Cthulhi, and what self respecting trans-dimensional mega alien wouldn't use humans as currency?

Human is fine. You can't discriminate against someone for being human...

Well, you could, but it wouldn't be very effective.

Well, now that depends on where you are, doesn't it?

Rather, on what you are, yes? If you aren't human, you can discriminate against humans.

Although I suppose you need a population of non-humans to discriminate in favor of, so perhaps geographic limitations are best after all. Hmm...

You mean like dimension traveling ancient mega aliens like the Cthuli?
