Yes. Indeed, there are laws prohibiting noblrd (for example) from doing things that aren't sufficiently ostentatious. To take a non-sumptuary example, IMG, nobles aren't allowed to eat root vegetables, for these are earthy and peasant-ish.

Seshnela I'd make somewhat like France (and its mostly lowlands, so freezing to death isn't going to be that big an issue). Loskalm, on the other hand is, IMO, more like British Columbia. Which, as you say, is not going to be insignificant.
