Western Culture

Spiked domes are very popular in the area around Clare. Domes are sought after in strange shapes (that Indian one on phone)

Maori looking people on the Quange Arm

Warriors on the Quange Arm make their swords out of iron, with handles of obsidian and the bones of the felled enemies (still alive if possible)

Has sugar and mining industries?

The ruler of that Kazakh area wears a fired clay crown to represent humility. Maybe. Traditional values of a king are ferociously upheld and kings are expected to demonstrate them (mercy and punishment in Fargo S2). This is partially due to numerous past rulers which have been incompetent or tyrannical. One of the worst examples must be Pryop Okimim 7 who was forced to hold a feast out of traditio but ordered his soldiers to fire when he got bored. Other examples include Pryop Babcy 2 who neglected his duties in favour of spending the treasury on archaeological digs and importing rare/valuable fossils. Babcy 2 successfully theorised the origin of dinosaurs and all that.

Common Rennew words borrowed in the East include 'bing' which roughly translates as congratulations. Native speakers usually implement it in rapid repetition (bing bing b-b-b-bing) because why not

Certain tribes around Mang and Nebelon use scars as a coming of age ritual. Vertical slits on temples. Braille on arms/stomachs (???)

Nebelon = Victorianised avant-garde and japanese style clothing.

Western swords from Artstation and the game We Were Here Too.

Mang is matriarchal. They embraced the spread of gender equality very easily since mothers and daughters took priority. Strange, since other surrounding cultures have nothing like this.

Orendiji is a volcanic hotspot.

Parm Ammut has rock pillars (Utah and Western films)

The Elephant's Garden is attributed to Gexhe (pseudo-Indian vibe). Surrealist art. Polytheistic and their gods are visually similar. Their most famous cultural export is a huge colourful slender fish (Felix Colgrave's Dry Run) which is linked to screaming seas.

The Birds
Aowa is notable for hosting The Four Great Birds of Aowa, them being: Quangean caparas are the largest living birds, originating from the Quangean rock spires. They have a wingspan of 18 feet and are 8 feet long in total. Their feathers are a mix of khaki and black for means of camouflage. A mix of scavenger (vulture beak) and predator - will pick up medium sized mammals and drop them from large heights if it can't scavenge anything. Naturally, they are not domesticable and will go out of their way to avoid humans, with only a handful of accounts of attacking people, since they can easily be scared off.

 * Kembes
 * Ridepoka
 * Draud's macaw

Kembea are large domesticated and flightless birds roughly the size between an ostrich and an elephant bird. Only really useful for scouting and ranged attacks because they are too flimsy for heavy combat and cannot carry heavy goods, instead relying on pulled carts. Maybe they are used in combat, who knows? A teal shade with long shaggy feathers with a long neck and a curved beak for insects.

Ridepoka are large swamp waterfowl around 2.5 metres in height and somewhat resembling large cranes. The notable feature is a special beak evolved to spear fish and then tear them apart through opening the mouth. There is a slight protrusion under the beak to prevent speared fish from sliding off. They have some of the most powerful jaw muscles in the animal kingdom, like crocodiles in the opposite direction.

Draud's macaw are pretty much, as you may have guesses, giant parrots. They have a pearlescent purple/electric blue tinge (chameleon 7 tone paint) and are found within tropical areas, growing roughly to the size of Steller's sea eagle.

The birds are protected by both folklore/superstition and by various imperial decrees identifying them as highly significant. Most city states have an emblem featuring a bird (old Reddega had all four) and people just generally like birds a whole bunch.

The chagwom is a western bird notable for its huge black bug eyes and long thin bill. Lives in Nebelon.

The far western south have the kingly macaw. It looks like that bird from Double King but smaller and white with grey wing tips and beak. Has a yellowish crown of feathers giving it its name. Most city-states and their respective cultural groups have a cultural bird and a bird in the emblem. Sounds like the quarry cry from DOTO.

Pandyssian giant owl

The Yvinndtese behemoth penguin. Based off the anthropornis penguin, taller than a man and certainly taller than an emperor. Live in colonies in the isolated Yvinndtese tundra
