Rikuzen

Rikuzen, officially the People's Republic of Rikuzen is a nation that follows a transhumanist ideology known as Transcendent Unificationism. Rikuzen national anthem is called "The Songbird of Freedom".
All citizens are required to forgo their ethnicity and adopt the ethnicity of Valenci, for it is not a racial construct but a social one that surpasses human boundaries. This culture is mostly anti-Tiberian and is adamant on the creation of a free Sahryia to share the world with.

=== Early history ===
Not much is known about Rikuzen's history or what existed before it due to the nation's ideology of focusing on the present and the belief that citizens only need to know that the state exists and has always existed and will always exist. All texts and relics pertaining to the past have been destroyed and all research regarding the past is banned. However, on his journeys, Scholar Ibn Tutta managed to find a burned book detailing events from before.
It was written by a man known only as Vale, who recounts that he had fled from what he called the "madness of Rikuzen." He goes on to state that before Rikuzen, there was a nation called the Shogunate, which had slowly become decadent and corrupt. Rikuzen rose up against it, starting as an anti-capitalist revolt which soon also started exploiting and ignoring its people. Rikuzen denounces this text, stating it to be a "fake text made by Ibn Tutta for fame."
=== Sahriya-Tiberian War ===
Rikuzen was allied with Sahriya in a defense pact. As such, when the Tiberian War began, it joined on the side of Sahriya. Rikuzen was famous for the large amount of anti-Tiberian media it produced during this war.
Captured letters reveal that the plan for the Rikuzen-Tiberian War was for Sahriya and Rikuzen to not only annex Tiberia but also the world, dividing it between the two. Rikuzen leaders were vocal about their plans for Rikuzen to have Coastal States. Rikuzen maintains a revanchist attitude, still claiming these coastal states and promoting the idea of a Greater Rikuzen. 
The reason for Rikuzen's anti-tiberianism is due the fact they believe Tiberia must be punished for what they did to Sahriya Beepeck and others and and a sense of paranoia they may be next.

 Mottos of Rikuzen
The state is the people,and the people are the state.	The mind is weak;you are weak.
Freedom is hell;slavery is safety. 	Submit to the state.
Transhumanism is growth;sacrifice is needed. 	There is no god, no freedom,no individuality, no self, for the state rules all.
Individuality is scum;the state knows best. 	
The country is ruled by its semi-divine leader. No title is given to him, as he is considered "everything and nothing at the same time. For this nation is his paradox, his flesh, his blood, and his tears." The nation is run by a myriad of committees. Citizens are required to do as the state demands, as thinking is considered a sin and a right afforded only to the most fortunate. Rikuzen has no culture or traditions, as the state believes these hold back people and progress.
