Klerost

From the constant rainfall and enormous lakes in its borders, Klerost has regular problems with flooding. As such, all their largest cities are built atop anchored platforms that can float should the need arise. To a Klerosti, it is better to go with the current than to try and feebly fight against it. Reeds survive by bending to the storm; trees break and die. Many of them live in large towns inside enormous boats that are out to sea in the Tovat Ré Sound or even in the Klerosti lakes within the country's borders. Some remain on these boats for all their lives and scorn the land entirely, living off the water's bounty instead.
Because floods can easily destroy roads or alter geography, Klerosti mindsets towards distance, landmarks, and travel might seem a bit skewed towards estimates and general ideas to someone used to precise measurements. They may argue that measurements have no practical meaning; the average person cannot judge easily if they've gone two miles or three, but they can deduce if they've passed a town on the way yet or not.
