Copygroup

Culture and Society > Cultures and Sub-Cultures

Small close-knit group of dividuals, almost always bioxoxes or close physical copies, who act as societal units within a larger society; property and wealth is generally held in common, and the copygroup may specialise in one or more fields of activity, often becoming quite successful. Sometimes the members of a copygroup may be linked by groupmind software of one form or another.

Rivalry between copygroups may become intense, sometimes leading to conflict.
