The Laminorians have developed a feudal-level technology that is deeply intertwined with their aquatic lifestyle. They are skilled boat builders, constructing sturdy vessels using locally sourced materials such as wood and reeds. Their boats are specially designed to navigate the winding rivers, traverse the swampy terrain, and sail the open seas, enabling them to travel and trade across various waterways.
In addition to boats, the Laminorians are adept at building tree houses that are ingeniously integrated into their lush and vibrant environment. These tree houses serve as their dwellings, providing them with a safe haven amidst the swamps and forests. The Laminorians' close connection to nature is evident in their harmonious coexistence with the surrounding trees and plants.
As expert fishermen, the Laminorians rely heavily on their knowledge of the waterways and the art of fishing. They have perfected the techniques of netting, angling, and trapping, allowing them to sustain their communities through abundant seafood harvests. The Laminorians' prowess in fishing has earned them a reputation as skilled providers and traders of fresh seafood, which serves as a significant source of their economy.
The Laminorians have developed a unique currency system based on pearls, which are highly valued in their society. Pearls, obtained through skilled diving and harvesting techniques, are used as a medium of exchange for trade and commerce. The Laminorians' expertise in pearl diving and their possession of valuable pearl reserves have further enhanced their economic stability and reputation as proficient traders.
The Laminorian civilization's feudal-level technology, centered around boat building, tree houses, fishing, and the use of pearls as currency, reflects their deep connection to water, nature, and their reliance on the bounties of the aquatic world.

History:
The Laminorian culture has a very long history, dating back thousands of years. Their earliest ancestors were fishermen, hunters, and gatherers. As their numbers grew, they moved inland and began to build permanent settlements. This nation is presently ruled by a council of three individuals who govern the entire nation. The council consists of a Prime Minister, a First Consul, and a Second Consul. These three people work together to rule the country and are elected into power by tribal representatives (chieftains).
Cultural Development:
The River Nation of the Laminorian resides in the Moorlynn Bayou. They live in lush verdant jungles and vast winding rivers.
Their culture is very tribal. They are a patriarchal society, and they believe in the importance of family. They believe in keeping their family together and making sure everyone stays happy and healthy. Stronger and more visually impressive males tend to boast harems of several women. They are also very protective of their young, and they raise them to be strong and independent. They teach their children how to hunt and fish, and they give them their own personal weapons so they can defend themselves when needed.
The Laminorians have developed a unique language of their own. They have a musical quality to their voices that is difficult for humans to imitate. Each tribe may have a unique dialect, and it is not spoken by many people outside of their own tribe. Despite living in the Jungles and Rivers they have advanced technology that boasts of sophistication and elegance. They have created things such as tools, machines, and weapons. They have even built a few ships and have learned how to sail across the seas.
