=== Establishment of the Imperial Regime ===

=== Monocultural vs Multicultural Status ===
Arguments over the Queendom's status as a monoculture or multicultural has been on going in historical review since the 1890s. Arguments for monoculture state the point towards the Queendom extremist religious enforcement policies, the kemonomimi supremacy and enforcement of a Lapérousian. In the cases of religious and cultural minorities, it was done out political necessities and outside of the Sinhadranhists it was limited to people of the Sagas IE [[Duarism|Duarist]] and [[Akuanism|Akuanists]]. While those who argue that Lapérousian culture was always multicultural, while religious puritan beliefs and Kemonomimi supremacy was the rule. The Queendom was plentiful in terms of ethnic groups regardless albeit majority of them being [[Ulvriktru]] Kemonomimi, people of the Sagas was allowed unparalleled rights and while they couldn't reach noble ranks of Jarlnja, they was given protections and treated the same as any other Lapérousian would be. However both sides of the argument, agree that the Queendom constructed numerous public monuments, communal spaces and infrastructure to establish sense of Lapérousness in the population. Through the reasoning about it heavily is debated between the two sides.
Adding to further to the debate, when it comes to Ulvriktru Kemonomimi cultures that didn't fall in line with more metropolitan customs of Batkong. As various local jarldoms and regions, had their own distinct cultures within themselves, that was celebrated (as well enforced legally) locally. Furthermore as codified within the ''Devoir Lapérousien,'' a compilation of four books published within the 16th century pushed forward the idea that Lapérousian culture is 'mother' and other Ulvrikian cultures are children, that they are distinct but similar to Lapérousian. Lapérousian culture, as the mother is required to occasionally discipline their 'runway' children from sin. However, according the complication books it does reinforce that while disciplining and 'improving' the children cultures but maintains that they are children and not Lapérousian. Efforts should be made to insure their independent cultural identify. Though the counter-argument for it by Monocultural proponents, state that it complication of books was simply a excuse for imperialism in [[Borea]] ([[Blaskog]]) and [[Concord]]. That the philosophy of motherly culture of Lapérouse, justifies genocide as guise of 'disciplining' cultures they deem as sinful. Key example being any number of wars against [[Atlalandr]] or in the 1500s where the Queendom ventured into [[Concord]] on a more permanent basis to enforce a Nori's Sagas as the only Sagas allowed.
=== Meritocracy ===
Lapérousian society social-political hierarchy was far more malleable than other contemporary societies provided the person was born a woman. If one was a [[Ulvriktru]] Kemonomimi woman, then it was possible from a lowly thrall to raise to the ranks to become a Jarlnja and then their children to fall down the ranks just as quickly. Thrall that could earn significant amount of wealth, could easily become freed by their owner due to the perception that the thrall has, for the lack of a better word seize their freedom and proved their value in society to be higher. Meanwhile a noble who has earned the same amount of wealth as the thrall would be seen lesser and could easily lose their noble titles or standing as it was seen they failing/acting more as a peasant than a noble by earn that.
=== Development of Land ===
Lapérouse peninsula, was believed by Lapérousian culture as a whole to be special in nature and took inspiration from [[Akuanism|Akuan]] concept of harmony, though taking a more centralized view of it. Within the Akuan concept of harmony, land should be cared for as if it was alive, similar to a farm animal. However the Lapérouse concept of it, while holding the view that the land was some-what alive in nature. As such land, as a living creature needs to be improved with artificial constructs, forestry, expanding riverways and so forth.
