Nigeru

Nigeru (滋養, Nigeru) , officially the Empire of (Great) Nigeru ((大)滋養帝国, (Dai) Nigeru Teikoku) is a Nigeruan state and great power, in bi-lateral relation with the Second Ninjagoan Empire and is a member of the Greater Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere (GPCPS). Prior to 30 June 2021 the country was called the State of Nigeru (滋養状態, Nigeru-koku). Nigeru is mainly located in South-east Asia and mainly encompasses the Nigeruan archipelago, roughly covering 14800 chunks after the acquisition of the dependency of Australia making it the largest nation in ShitCraft, whereas the main isles roughly covers 740 chunks and has a population of 83 million. The main island is called the Nigeru Island and the capital and largest city is called Nigeru City.
After the Ninjagoan victory against the United Nations, pro-Ninjagoan sentiments rose in the Republic of Nigeru. Emperor Kareastikuru went on a diplomatic mission to Nigeru, in attempt to persuade them to join Ninjago's cause. Nigeru agreed to join the Anti-UN pact and the GPCPS if Ninjago let Nigeru have autonomy and aid them to make their own empire. This lead to the restoration of the monarchy in Nigeru, where Arenchao was appointend emperor. Nigeru is a founding member of the League of Nations and is recognized as an independent and sovereign nation by the LON, Ninjago and the Myjohanian Union.
== Etymology ==
The name was originally believed to be derived from the name "Arent" (From Arenchao) in Ninjagoan. However, due to the person who named the isles, only had practised Ninjagoan a few months, the translation was incorrect and a proper origin of the name was lost.
== History ==
Before colonization, the State of Nigeru was ruled by local authorities on the various islands. The islands were discovered by western explorers who named the islands "the Philippines" after Philip, who was a cool guy. The islands remained untouched until the Empire of Ninjago colonized it. The islands were put under prefectural authority known as the Firipin Prefecture, lead by Elemental Ninja Arenchao. He founded Nigeru City on the main Firpin island, which was granted autonomy by the Ninjago Empire. After ShitCraft IV, the Nigeru Republic was established and was ruled by president Arenchao who was backed up by the United Nations. However, when Ninjago successfully beat the UN in the Ninja-UN war, Arenchao got interested in collaborating with Ninjago once more. The Republic of Nigeru was disestablished and a new constitutional monarchy was established with Arenchao as their emperor.
== Territorial expansion ==
As a sovereign nation in the League of Nations, Nigeru, as per other member states has free right to territorial expansion. Ninjago, who has soft-power over Nigeru, used this to Ninjago's advantage to spread quickly throughout the Pacific.
Nigeru has mainly expanded south, firstly obtaining Borneo and Papua Guniea, as well as some historic Lizardasian lands. The most noteworthy conquest of Nigeru, is the full takeover of the Australian continent, which made Nigeru first to do so in ShitCraftian history. In ShitCraft IV, Ninjago almost obtained all of Australia, but missed out on the central part, governed by Orochi and later transferred to the 7th Heaven. Nigeru declared war on the 7th Heaven to obtain these lands, which ended with Nigeruan victory, officially making Nigeru the only entity reigning over Australia.
