Galra is a theocratic society ruled almost entirely by the Galran Church and military. Society is rather repressed and dominated by the Patriarchy, with rights almost nonexistent and the people are treated as property by the State.
Galra are Anglo-Saxons who are related to Germanic Grinvelians, a thousand years ago they migrated from the East and invaded the region forcing the Gaelics to flee across the channel and onto their islands. Galra society is built around patriarchal values and a heavy emphasis on duty to the state and church. Military service is nearly mandatory with almost every man serving in the Imperial Army. Families are structured around Galra Ushoz beliefs with men having several wives and mating for multiple children to grow large families to grow the religious population.
Galra are not allowed to drink alcohol, caffeine, smoke cigarettes or partake in any recreational drug use. Women in Galra are near second class citizens and must be accompanied by a man when going outside their homes or be with one of the other wives or children. They are not allowed to vote, speak without permission or work without a government approved permit.
Homosexuality and transsexuality are outlawed and seen as an abomination by the Galra church. Homosexuals are hunted down by the Inquisition and publicly tortured to death, rebellious youths are harshly punished, and political dissent is swiftly silenced. Non-Galra humans or non-humans are viewed as lesser people and any if any immigrants come to Galra they are treated poorly by the native population who think they’re coming to steal jobs, rape, rob and undermine the Holy Imperial Republic. The catfish race of the Silurifo are treated as second class citizens restricted in the Agrarian state of Western Galra, the Galra find them repulsive but employ them to feed the Imperial State and sell cheap food.
Protection for children is extremely high, harming children comes with severe penalties. Galra is one of the safest countries in Ouhiri to raise a family as long as said family stays inline with State policies and laws.
Galra food is considered by many to be rather bland, its considered by some Galra that the addition of spices is sinful although the church did not push this over it simply being something the society itself pushed. Meat is preferred over all things but Galra does grow a large amount of food in the Agrarian State in the western empire.
Galra tastes in music are restricted to church and religious music, entertainment is literally propaganda that supports the Imperial State and the Galra church.
