Screw my previous ideas. My new continent is composed of two countries: One plains/forest nation inhabited by savage humans, shifters, and kangans, a race detailed below (think the Shaar, but with the kangans), and a nation of humans warforged trying to live together with the humans living there. The latter country includes a large city with many artificers, who created the warforged, and recent federal legislation freed all of the warforged from slavery, and now the warforged are experiencing great racism.
What do you think of this race?
They're called the Kangans, a race of kangaroo-like people who have opposable thumbs on their feet.

-tailstand (ex): as a move action that does not provoke an attack of oppertunity, a Kangan can stand on his tail, leaving his feet (which have opposable thumbs, and are considered off-hands during a tailstand, although they cannot be used to cast spells, as they are not quite as articulate as their real hands). If the tailstanding Kangan has the feat Two-weapon Fighting, it becomes Multiweapon Fighting for the duration of the tailstand. Whenever a kangan is tailstanding while wearing armor heavier than light, he applies half the armor's armor check penalty to attack rolls and armor class. Getting down from the tailstand is a move action, and the Kangan cannot move while tailstanding.

I think it's pretty freaking cool. THey make excellent monks, rangers, fighters, and barbarians. They lean towards Chaos and Good, like Elves
