Japonica

Japonica, officially known as the Japonican Union or Niørica in Japonican is a country in the Osirian continent of Azunia. It consists of two states: Japonica and Tianjinia. The official languages of Japonica are English and Japonican.
Japonica is a wealthy, highly industrialized country situated on the southern coast of Azunia. The landscape of Azunia consists mainly of arid deserts, although recently, with the oil boom, Japonica has been almost completely urbanized. The country is known for it's desert culture, extreme wealth, glorious beaches and expansive cities. To the north of the country, mountains seperate Japonica to the rest of Azunia, and to the west the desert continues in to Luken. The largest cities are found beside the coast and the capital of Japonica, Diamond Coast, is one of these cities, home to eighteen million people.
In order to survive, people who originally colonized Japonica built long canals to create farmlands and to use as a fresh water source. Nowadays, the canals are used for tours of the country, as the entire irrigation system is now underground, and some canals have been destroyed so that more buildings can be built in the city.
==Etymology==
Japonica's English name is a compound consisting of 'japon', which is Japonican for yellow, and 'icao' which is Japonican for coast. This means in Japonican it is known as the 'Yellow Coast'.
