I think to make each Empire even more unique, and make each game different, perhaps each Ethos should come with it's own exclusive Idea Group or Tradition Tree you can complete, each with its own effects and bonuses. What do you think?
My problem with this is that the nation-specific groups in EUIV were, well, nation-specific, or at least culture-specific. They all had some kind of justifiable tie to something that exists or existed. Ethos in Stellaris are broad and vague enough to refer to a lot of different things, and if you start assigning specific ideas to specific ones you put them in a much smaller box. Choosing all of them works better IMO.
