Notes

!Mormonism is a syncretic faith between Perendism and Morism, originally taking the more strict doctrine of Perendism and combining it with the broad folk traditions associated with Morism. Bringing together things like Perendism's Rites and Morism's water worship would be an example of how !Mormonism's traditions and ceremonies would have originally combined the two. The culture in this area is some flavor of Italian or adjacent (depending on location according to the plots sheet, I'm fine with going with what's there or developing something to fit a spot), historically being a cultural anchor for that cultural group. Given its proximity to Palia,

!Deseret could have shifted into Lanzism and sided very closely with Palia during GW2. It could have historically been an intensely militarized nation, very much in the way many authoritarian states are, where the perception of military might is more important than actual capability, making it a potential paper tiger that gets smacked down hard. The modern internal conflict here wouldn't be an all-out civil war, but rather a major conflict between government forces and insurgent groups. While the government retains control over the country broadly, insurgents are still very well armed and have carved out territories that they control (similar to Myanmar or, potentially, Mexico).
