Some possible consequences of Talman silphium:
Some possible consequences of Talman silphium:
*Premodern Talman culture doesn't have a traditionalist sexual morality (neither does modern Talman culture).
*Premodern Talman culture doesn't have a traditionalist sexual morality (neither does modern Talman culture).
*Equal rights for women has pretty much always been a part of Talman culture in recorded history. (This is not because of some innate moral superiority of Talmans but largely due to external factors.)
*Equal rights for women has always been an ideal, if not reality, in Talman culture in recorded history. (This is not because of some innate moral superiority of Talmans but largely due to external factors.)
*Economically there might be a problem tho: Agricultural production-wise this might put Talmans at a disadvantage compared to  cultures which choose to ban silphium and produce more children workers. If even one culture in Etalocin bans silphium then they could conquer everyone else.
** Silphium grows pretty much everywhere in Etalocin. Or there is a natural barrier between Talma and the rest of Etalocin.
** Wherever silphium is easily available, banning it would be ineffective since the silphium (which would be in high demand) would be supplied by the black market.
** Traditional Talman economy wasn't based entirely on agriculture but also on intellectual and artistic activity. This should also help them industrialize faster.
