Help with Biopunk/oranic tech nation

Ok, as the title said im creating a setting right now and decide to make a African base nation that use organic tech because....well, why the fuck not? but so far im short of ideas(I tend to work better with input) so far I have idea of sort of "bone armour" that fix with someone and maybe or odd idea ot two.

Ok then, first thing is this a world where each of the factions have there own 'punk', if so what do they think of this organic biopunk nations?

Second thing we need to get down is what they think of human augmentation and alteration. IS it taboo to alter human genetics? if so that limits you to organic equipment, if not then you can make super soliders.

Thirdly: is this 'pure' biopunk or a hybrid? do we have metal cars with biopunk additions or do we not use cars at all? in a combat sense do we have rifles or do we have to event organic weapon systems?

Fourth: Nothing in nature is real, strong compared to steel or ceramics, so such a nation i would imagine would use Chromatophores and rely more on not getting hit then making armor that could survive more then low caliber rounds and fragments.

that's all i got for now hope it helps get you mind going.

Ok, let see, first a little bit of backstory:

In my setting at first was myth age where a global empire cover the world, it fall(because of course it does, what else it could happen?) and yadda,yadda,yadda only a handfull of enclaved remaind at large, most of them based in the typical "Lost cities" in this case the one who landed in africa(well their expy) is based of the Draka and that where almost all flesh manipulaton come from them or a least until they defeat.

So far almost all continent dosent know too much about each other so little information have come about it.

And about super soldier...yep, their is a prohibition about it, and also the fact that the knowlage of creating one was destroy because how inhuman it was, that dosent mean there isn augmentation...just that there is a limit.

I would said....hybrid, most of the information was lost and even them, it was consider to brutal and inhuman for everyone except the most demented to ever try something about it, so there is a limited used about it.

And yes that could work, I wasnt thinking in direct aproach so it works for me.

Ok, limited augmentation and hybrid tech. You mentioned bone armor? so that sets a point on what to set my imagining.

With that as a base the next question is what do you need help with? combat information? cultural? engineering? economics? the works?

Combat information and engering, as I said before I playing this nation to be expy of africa(well some nation of africa considet they are many contry ant all that) so I would have to learn about that before at tweat a little way with this organic tech.

On the other hand I would need at least some idea about trade, Im thinking about exotic animals for noblility oh some weird thing like tattos thatn vanish and apear at will and some other ideas.
