Boletus, or it's native name Zecarii, meaning World of Caps and Tunnels, is a small, tribal island influenced by it's fungus and fauna, protected my it's neighboring country, Ezhara. Boletus is one of the only places where cultures where still in their tribal era, so Ezhara decided to protect it's culture to keep them safe. Ezcarii is deeply influenced by their fauna, and endless variations of fungus that Boletus is known for, being shown on art peices, buildings, and the like. They basically worship the world around them. It's 25 thousand people are divided into many, diverse tribes that socialize with each other almost daily, creating a web of a huge community.

## Government and Politics

The Boletuns don’t have a central government. Instead, they all have their separate queens, each one controlling a specific tribe, being the representation of the tribe. Queens are usually elected based on size. Whichever female is the biggest and healthiest in the tribes gets to run it. Simple. Sometimes, these queens do get into arguments and go to war, but they never take property, knowing to respect each other's space.

## Culture & Lifestyle

Boletuns are a very creative bunch, using many hues of red, yellow, orange, and brown to make amazing art pieces and stories, all different from each other. Boletuns have a rich imagination, and share their own stories that they like to call "Tiny Worlds". Some share their Tiny World through music, or dance, or art, or maybe even becoming the Tiny World's characters! Many Tiny Worlds get fans and followers for how creative and unique they are, creating their own tribes later down the line. But life isn't all fun and games, there are still things needing to be done. An average Boletun will go search for whatever item the queen requested, and bring it back to a huge item space in the middle of the tribe to use later. After that, more social tasks like trading and sending messages comes after. Some Boletuns set up their own little businesses, usually doing something for a certain item. Sometimes, these businesses go out to other tribes to buy and sell, becoming "Flying Traders". Queens are the most busy, having to take care of all the children and schedule most activities to keep the tribe alive, but they usually get a break every once in a while.

## Clothing

The Boletuns find no need in clothing. It’d get too dirty or ragged, the area they are in is pretty hot, and it would be too much of a hassle to take on and off for reproduction, which is a very important part of the culture. Most instead decorate themselves with millions of different paints and items, as well as hairstyles, which make them all stand out from each other. Some colors show certain personalities, for example Orange gives a very calm and friendly feeling while Brown is more of a lazy and peaceful color. Usually their bodies will have hints of a certain color, signifying their tribe. If you were to make a Boletun wear a T-shirt or other clothing item, they'll think of it like some kind of monster trying to cling on and eat them, so they usually tear it off after 5 seconds.

## Food & Cuisine

You'd think Zecarii food would taste primitive and disgusting, but they actually have a fine taste in cuisine, usually very spicy, crunchy, and meaty, usually garnished by the many mushrooms sprinkled throughout the islands, adding a bit of soft to the crunchy. Animals are usually hunted in the wild, while spice plants are farmed in small clusters nearby the tribe. After the queen's chosen hunters bring back the meat, they tear off the skin, and put the meat in a big pan under the huge fire to cook until it is needed. They do not care if it is over-cooked. Blood of said animals, plus the spices are used to create a kind of sauce to add flavour to the meal. After the meat is garnished, it is taken by the Boletuns to use to their own accord, making their own special items unique to them. Sometimes, they'll trade recipes with others to make even more different kinds of meaty dishes.
