The National animal is the Platypus.
- The Platypus is the national animal because during the founding of the society, the group of 15 "Pre-Mainists" found a reservoir full of little peaceful platypuses that were all sleeping. They wanted to kill them for food but one of them, named Sally Marie, said no and prevented them from doing it. She wanted to prevent anyone from harming them so they built a fence roughly 10 miles in circumference around the area they found the platypuses, and on the border they started the founding of their Utopian society. Winter came, and the people were starving due to a bad cropping season so they didn't have enough storage for the winter. Well, all of a sudden, the platypuses crawled to their doorsteps with bundles of food. The town thrived once again with the help of the platypuses. Instantly they made them their favorite animals and used them to symbolize their entire culture because of their help in their own survival.

Seal
The seal is one that has been questioned for centuries. In a far distant land from Niam, this seal would mean evil and death. But in the Society of Niam, it means growth and prosperity. The hammer means constant production from the workforce, while the halfmoon symbolizes the eagerness to work not only in day, but also in night, even though it is not needed to work at night.
Love the whole idea of your society.
