Doesn't MISGUIDED mean the same thing as UNORTHODOX?

REQUIRED is almost exactly like MANDATORY, too.

No.
Unorthodox means it's not common, but it accepted.
Misguided means that it's not accepted, but needn't be uncommon.

DEVIANCE, ATHEISM, and WORKETHIC. 

Atheism may not be so different amoung the allied races now, but wotkethic and deviant persons would be.  Id imagine humes being a bit more relaxed compared to industrious dwarves.

Dwarves wouldn't give a crap about atheism. It would be cool, though, to see the effects of tags like that change depending on what's happening inside an entity. Like if the king of a human nation is a worshipper of Litast, worship of that deity would become mandatory during his reign.
And even more awesome if the effects extended to the deity's attributes: "Litast is the god of murder" = murder becoming acceptable within that entity.

Please don't shitpost, it lowers the quality of discourse
Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

ETHIC:THEATRE:X
ETHIC:POLITICAL_HUMOR:X

ETHIC:PUBLIC_EXECUTION:X

ETHIC:FREE_SPEECH

ETHIC:OWN_WEAPONS
ETHIC:DEFEND_SELF
ETHIC:DEFEND_SELF_VS_OWN_CIV

----
For instance,
ETHIC:OWN_WEAPONS:UNORTHODOX (or, would be)
ETHIC:DEFEND_SELF:ACCEPTABLE
ETHIC:DEFEND_SELF_VS_OWN_CIV: SHUNNED

This means that a small number of your civilian dwarves own and carry personal weapons. If there was a siege, they can use the weapon vs the attackers without problem, but if a tantruming dwarf attacks, then fighting back gets you ostracized.

ETHIC:CRUSADES:ACCEPTABLE
The most devout worshipers might decide to band together and force their ethics on other civs.

ETHIC:TRANS-SPECIES_RELATIONS:X
Would determine how accepting a civ is of, say, a dwarf and a human bonding.

ETHIC:ANIMAL_DOMESTICATION:X
Determines the civs stance on capturing, training, and the use of animals. Different from slavery, in that it's for non-sentient creatures.
