## Culture

### Death

The bodies are dissected and dried, with the sinew, bones, and skin being used to craft everyday materials. The practice is so common that visitors are often unaware that the book they are buying is bound in human skin. All the items of the person are given to their brother or sister that chose each other as children, the person then takes up their name and items and appearance (wig of their hair) and job and family, replacing them fully. While those that lost the family member buy a slave to be their new son/daughter/mother. The person who absorbed the identity is tasked with enacting justice or taking revenge, and is not free to do anything else until this task is done. The dust of the bones is used to make buildings.

### Government

Military Dictatorship. Stratocracy. Military Junta.

* There is usually always a military council, made up of experienced war leaders, but there have been times where one of them will rise to the level of dictator, and violently depose of his former comrades, until another junta forms to regain control. The society only values physical prowess, and all are trained to be soldiers, as each and any person must be able to be called upon to defend their homeland, this includes women, children, and the disabled, as it modifies its expectations to suit their capabilities, and does its best to give them effectives ways of combat, such as a wheelchair user using a gun, women using lighter weapons and armor, or children being given smaller version of weapons. This nation has the largest and most deadly army on land in the world, toughness and a fighting spirit are in their blood, and further hammered into them every day of their lives, even the elderly stay surprisingly fit and capable well into their old age, as the years of conditioning and muscle memory continue to serve them well. Those who are completely incapable of fighting, have no mind for strategy, or even worse, are pacifists, are exiled completely, or made to do menial tasks unfit for the more worthy members of society, those who are more physically capable, or skilled in military leadership or tactics, are given more prestige and have the opportunity to rise quickly by taking down many enemies or slaying terrifying beasts and showing no fear in the face of death, they not only have unofficial fame, but usually gain money enough to buy collections of rare weapons to show off, or get expensive custom gear, or command men of their own. It is encouraged for the strong to marry the weaker people, to ensure too much of the population does not become useless, but to distribute the natural strength and lucky genes to strengthen society as a whole, as all people are cogs in service to it and must do their part. The unforgiving landscape made for unforgiving people.
