The Unified Land of the American Vikangz is a strange civilization. Their lands are fertile and rife with animal life during their 4 month long summers, but the 6 month-long winter is brutal and unforgiving. Temperatures drop to below 20 degrees celsius regularly, causing them to regularly abandon their villages to migrate to the slightly more temperate Southern islands to keep their livelihoods.
As such, their farms and villages are never built to last, with McDonalds huts and Subwhey farms being a common sight. Despite their abhorrent building techniques, they're naval experts and esteemed craftsmen. They often find themselves trading their finely crafted Kidneystones and Claypigeons for food and leather produced by the other nearby civilizations.
The American Vikangz are a very unified people, despite picking up several foreigners from trade missions, they have a common national identity and would do anything to protect their land, even if it means being chopped by your neighbor and getting shot in the knee with arrows every couple of days.
