Additional Race Priorities -- Exemplars

Edit: ***I have merged this thread into Mike's "empty slots" thread*** Please do NOT reply here.
When working out race priorities for my China setting, I stumbled upon an interesting idea to fill the D race priority. This is the Exemplar.
Exemplars are humans, they are merely extraordinary individuals of their nationality. A Welsh Exemplar would be a crack shot with a bow -- even if he had never picked one up before. A Odean exemplar would be able to walk through blizzards in light clothes, and be tough as a bear. A Mongol exemplar could ride like the wind and gather armies in a matter of months. They are simply the best that their nation has to offer.
Exemplars are a D racial choice, and double all bonuses associated with their nationality.
What do you all think? I'm thinking about tripling the bonuses and making them a C choice (so that they are cooler but rarer.) Conceivably, there could be two levels -- Exemplars and Paragons, say. Any other riffs on this concept?
