 === Culture ===
-Ngonda is an extremely isolationist and xenophobic nations. The only outsiders allowed in are Lundans for their extremely limited trade and diplomacy. This is a result of both arrogance and a need for security. Ngonda's beliefs are extremely unorthodox among any other nation, worshipping the Void as the state religion. Because of this, they view those of other nations as backwards. At the same time, they recognize the immense threat that other nations with more ordinary belief systems pose to them. They do not feel a constant fear of invasion thanks to the dense jungles protecting them, but they still see little value in allowing any outsiders into their nation.

This is a result of both arrogance and a need for security. Ngonda's beliefs are extremely unorthodox among any other nation, worshipping a god of destruction as the state religion.

They do not feel a constant fear of invasion thanks to the dense woodlands and steep hills protecting them, but they still see little value in allowing any outsiders into their nation.
 While Ngonda is a highly lawful society, they are not afraid to step on others to get what they want. It is seen as ideal to use any means necessary to get ahead, so long as those means are within the letter of the law.

 === Inhabitants ===
-Ngondans are conceited and knowledgeable. Even those who are untalented still receive a basic education, leaading to a high level of development despite the environment. Ngondans have extremely dark skin, with some being as black as obsidian, and their hair is dark and coarse. They tend to wear brightly-colored loose-fitting attire, with members of the Ichyapu wearing robes whose intricate designs denote their ranks within the organization. Ngondans decorate themselves with jewelry carved of wood and bone. Wearing metal is seen as bad luck (essentially inviting oneself to be attacked) unless it is specifically being worn as armor.
