I am glad you are doing this. Join the Dwilight University, you can contribute quite a bit to it.
Read "History of Occidentalism." It explains Maroccidens. Also, the Maroccidens page explains it a great deal of ethnography.

The Madinana assault that made it inland wasn't an assault; you controlled Paisly at the time. Sure, you sailed safely into a harbor you owned. We then took it from you handily and held it against repeated attacks, where ya'll could barely coordinate your army.
In general, the indigenous peoples of Maroccidens are largely extinct, or fled to the Zuma. The people there now are mostly of colonial origin. Terran's population is largely ethnically Madinan, with some mixing of the indigenous. Both the Melodian and the Caerwynian contingents ultimately stem from Madina.
Whether-wise we see ourselves as something like... the Everglades... or a central American jungle.
