Nublestia is a land of tradition. However, they are a very sophisticated group with many customs and a rather strange way of living...
This land is located in the mountains, next to the ocean. The northern coastal plain near the ocean is flat and low, while the mountains are rugged and high. A large river cuts through the land, running from the mountains down to the ocean. A large volcano dominates the southernmost reaches of the mountains, and as it is a basaltic shield, it does not erupt violently. The river valley floods once a year. Once, in the past, these two lands were divided, but they were united. Thus, the king of Nublestia has the title of Lord of the Two lands.
They are a polytheistic group with many gods, which can be seen in the link below:

The mountains are home to many llamas and alpacas, which provide the main source of food for the canines. In the past, the canines had managed to tame some of the llamas and herd them for a living.
In the coastal plains, the main food is deer and other small game. After the floods of spring, which happen on the third to fourth moon of the year, the herders of the mountains drive their livestock down to eat the grass that has benefited from the rich nutrients deposited from the floods.

Government:
Nublestia has a strong central government, but as their territory is pretty big, they have appointed others to help them rule. Each pack reports to the alpha male of their group, and the alphas report to the viziers. At each festival, some may congregate in the capital area between the mountains and the lowlands to celebrate.
Customs
The only big custom is when a pup finally achieves adulthood at one year old. They are given a patron god.
The custom dictates that the dog is given a test. He is abandoned somewhere in the middle of the mountains, and he has to find his way back to civilization. This is extremely dangerous, as the dog is drugged at the beginning, causing hallucinogenic dreams. This determines their patron god. As there are many gods, and the ones listed in the religion list are the main ones, you may ask to create one.
