Chugoku

Chugoku (中国, Chūgoku), officially the Government-General of Chugoku (中国総督, Chūgoku Sōtoku-fu) is the body which runs a series of colonies of the Second Ninjagoan Empire in eastern Guland, or Mainland Taipei. The civil government was formed after the defeat of Gulandian forces within the Ninjagoan occupied Guland territories, which linked all Guland territories together. 
The move of Ninjago to mainland Asia has been a goal throughout Ninjago's modern history, most notably by Ninjagoists, seen in the motto heya initiative, for colonization and to create a stable hub for further expansion. Guland has been the the largest priority, due to its close proximity and to remove foreign power's access to the pacific. The first move onto Guland was by gaining the Yangtze Leased Territory from the Myjohanian Union after signing the Balance Pact, which worked for two months as Ninjago's central authority in the region.
Various outer prefectures and territories were formed to create Chugoku, most notably the Kainan and Kunto prefectures, as well as the Yangtze Leased Territory and the Honkon Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Today, Chugoku is split into various prefectures and one SEZ.
Chugoku borders the Protectorate of Arvidland to the north, Indochugoku to the south, Reorganized National Government of Free Orochi and 7Th Heaven to the west and the International Province of Formosa to the east. The capital of Chugoku is Ninjanking, located in the Ninjanking Prefecture. Other notable cities are Shanhai and Honkon.
== Etymology ==
The name "Chūgoku" originates from the alternative Ninjagoan term for Guland, where the other term is "Kiiroikuo", officially used in Ninjago after ShitCraft II. The term Chugoku literally means "middle kingdom" and can be found in Way of the Ninja script, and referenced as a "kingdom southwest of Ninjago" or the kingdom in the middle of kingdoms.
