Higashi-Chukyo

*This article is about Higashi-Chukyo or East Chukyo. For the capital of the Imperial Republic of Shingō, see Chukyo. For West Chukyo, see Nishi-Chukyo.*

    **Higashi-Chukyo** (Shingōan: 東中京, *Higashi-Chūkyō*), also referred to as **East Chukyo**, is a large port city in central Shingō. The city serves as the capital of Chūō prefecture and is home to the region's local government. Higashi-Chukyo is situated along the western coast of Mejima Island, which itself sits between the northern and southern regions of the Shingō Sea. The city is largely associated with governmental affairs, as a large portion of the city is dedicated to housing various administrative offices of both the local prefectural government of Chūō and the national Shingōan government. Despite these heavy connotations, Higashi-Chukyo does contain several notable non-government attractions such as the Higashi-Chukyo Zoo and the Transnational Train Line. The city is also home to Higashi-Chukyo Stadium which hosts regional Speardash and Soccer teams as well as the Chukyo Blaze, a professional Hashiyumi team that is part of the International Hashiyumi Association (IHA).

### History:

Mejima Island remained largely uninhabited until around 10 B.G.E. when settlers from the newly-formed Empire of Shingō constructed a series of docks on the island's coast for the purpose of facilitating trade in the region. The area would experience very little development until 45 G.E. when it, along with several other surrounding territories, were occupied by the Kingdom of Windsor, whose armed forces utilized the island as a military base during the Three Decades' War.

Following the end of the war, the island was annexed by the Empire of Shingō and transformed into a trade and fishing hub. In 93 G.E., the island and its settlements were incorporated into the nearby city of Chukyo and the city's government utilized its wealth to develop the region. It was during this period of unity with the city of Chukyo that the area came to be known as East Chukyo.

The city split off from the rest of Chukyo in 136 G.E. after experiencing accelerated population growth and urban development. The process was initiated through a referendum conducted among the area's residents, the results of which heavily favored independence from Chukyo.

### Etymology:

The name Higashi-Chukyo simply translates to "East Chukyo" and served as the *de facto* name of the area from 93 G.E. until 136 G.E., when it was made the official name of the city.
The Behemoth

The **Behemoth**, also referred to as the **Giant**, (Shingōan: 巨人, *Kyojin*) is a gargantuan creature/entity of unknown origin that supposedly appears at sea or behind mountain ranges. The creature is described as being a shadowy shade of black and having a human-like form with solid white eyes. Information regarding the behemoth's height is often inconsistent, as some have described the creature as being the same size as a three-story building, while other accounts claim that the creature's feet rest on the sea floor and its head reaches the clouds in the sky.

The majority of alleged sightings of the behemoth have occurred at sea, as sailors have reported seeing the create slowly rise in the distant horizon. The creature is generally believed to bring bad luck and misfortune, and some tales even claim that those who have laid eyes on the creature are destined to die within the next few days. Some tales claim that the behemoth is not confined to the sea, and assert that the creature occasionally appears behind mountain ranges, slowly peeking its head over the summit to view the people and villages below. In these cases, the presence of the behemoth is a supposed warning of an imminent natural disaster that will bring destruction to the nearby area. Despite its strong association with misfortune and death, the creature is believed to never directly attack or harm humans or animals, instead choosing to simply observe them. It is for this reason that many do not see the behemoth as a malevolent being, but rather as a messenger of fate that informs people of their coming deaths.

Ōyama

**Ōyama** (大山市, *Ōyama-shi*) is a medium-sized city located in the northern Prefecture of Ōyama in the Imperial Republic of Shingō. The city of Ōyama holds incredible significance in the national culture and conscience of Shingō, as the city previously served as the capital of the Empire of Shingō. In the modern era, the city is noted as the home of the Shingōan Imperial Family and their Royal Palace. The city is a popular destination for domestic tourists, and despite its relatively small population in comparison to other major cities in Shingō, many see the city as the spiritual capital of the nation. Apart from the Royal Palace, the city is home to several other attractions such as the Floating Town of Ōyama Lake and the Fortress Mountain Range.

### History:

The are currently occupied by Ōyama city remained uninhabited until the arrival of settlers from the Amatsuki and Shinwa clans around 20 B.G.E., who promptly established fortifications and settlements within the region's tall and defensible cliffs. Ōyama was made the official capital of the Empire of Shingō in 1 G.E., after which the Imperial Residence was relocated to the city.

The city lost its title as capital of Shingō in 105 G.E. when the national government relocated to the city of Chukyo. Ōyama briefly served as the local capital of Ōyama Prefecture from 106 G.E. until 110 G.E., when the local government moved to the larger neighboring city of Hirono.

### Etymology:

The name Ōyama contains characters translating to "big" and "mountains" and was given to the city and its surrounding regions by Amatsuki and Shinwa clan settlers in 20 B.G.E. Ōyama was made the official name of the city in 8 B.G.E. following the full annexation of the region by the Amatsuki-Shinwa Alliance.

The greater region of Ōyama (modern-day Ōyama Prefecture) gradually came to be referred to by the same name around 7 B.G.E. due largely to the fact that all settlements in the region were collectively run by a central administration located in the city of Ōyama proper. In governmental affairs, these cities were not distinguished as separate entities until around 20 G.E. The name was officially given to Ōyama Prefecture in 42 G.E.
Tōma

**Tōma** (Shingōan: 当麻町, *Tōma-chō*) is a town situated near the central coast of the state of Imata in the Yokoze Confederation. The town is connected to Minamijima Island to its south via a pedestrian bridge. The town primary produces wheat and is known for its unique style of architecture of hay-thatched roofing.

### History:

The town of Tōma is believed to have been settled around 270 G.E. by members of the region's local tribes. Additional historical information about the town is unknown due to a lack of documentation.

### Etymology:

The name Tōma (当麻) contains characters that roughly translate to "right/appropriate" and "hemp" and is believed to have been inspired by local vegitation.
Treaty of Kitagura

The Treaty of Kitagura was a peace treaty, signed on 18 June 384 G.E. in the city of Kitagura, that ended the Ganak Plains War, fought between forces of the Imperial Republic of Shingō and the Union of Sabun.

The settlement provided for the end of hostilities between both sides and required the Union of Sabun to withdraw its military forces from southern Ganak and extradite individuals who had committed crimes in Shingōan territory, especially those with ties to violent nationalist groups.

Suzuki Land Reforms

The **Suzuki Land Reforms** were a series of economic reforms that occurred in 376 G.E. in the Imperial Republic of Shingō which placed all land in the country under public ownership. The reforms were implemented primarily though a piece of national legislation in Shingō known as the Land & Taxation Reform Act, which repealed all income and value-added taxes in the country and replaced them with a tax on land. They are named after Shingōan Prime Minister Kentarō Suzuki, whose government was responsible for implementing the reforms. The reforms were part of Prime Minister Suzuki's Fair Society Initiative (Shingōan: 公正社会構想, *Kōsei shakai kōsō*), of which the Right to Housing Act of 377 G.E. and the Rights Security Act of 377 G.E. were also major parts.

The reforms were generally well received by members of the public, aside from various groups of landlords who vehemently opposed the changes. Additionally, they are believed to have contributed to the growth in rural voters' support for Prime Minister Suzuki and the Liberty Party, as farmers and those living in rural areas saw large decreases in their owed taxes.

## Previous Land System

Prior to the Suzuki Land Reforms, land in Shingō was treated by the government as a commodity that could be bought, sold, and held exclusively by one or more individuals. Throughout the period of the Empire of Shingō, the vast majority of all land in the country was held by the national government, with large portions owned by elites and members of the Imperial Family.

Several unsuccessful attempts at altering the land system were made after the reformation of the country into the Imperial Republic of Shingō, most notable of which occurred in 258 G.E. under the government of Prime Minister Kenji Morine. The Prime Minister proposed a plan to seize the property of certain individuals - including elites, nobility, and predatory landowners - who were not actively utilizing their land in order to turn such space into public housing or areas beneficial to the general public. Widespread support for these plans, however, ultimately never materialized, with those in opposition to the idea labeling Morine as a socialist. Many of these criticisms hinged on the fact that, during the Prime Minister's first term, he was leading a coalition government which involved the "Farmers & Workers Party," an outwardly socialist political party. Near the end of his first term, Morine ultimately decided to withdraw his support for the plan.
Empire of Senam

Flag of Senam

The **Empire of Senam** (Senamic: *Senam Ragirke*), commonly referred to as **Senam**, is a country located in the western region of the Agosian continent. Senam's largest cities are situated along the country's western coast which borders the East Tōkai Sea (called the Western Sea in Senam). The capital city of Senam is Netar, and the nation countains several other city centers and towns, all of which are found within a variety of diverse regions throughout the country.

## Government & Economy

Senam's form of government is an Absolute Monarchy, in which the Head Chieftain holds supreme power and authority over the nation's government and political system. The legislative body of the country is the Grand Council, which is comprised of various members appointed directly by the Head Chieftain. This council is tasked with drafting legislation to be presented to the Head Chieftain for approval or rejection. The Head Chieftain additionally reserves the right to implement his own legislation regardless of the approval of the Grand Council. Senam utilizes the Senamic Kruna (৯) as its primary currency. It has a centralized, planned economy with little market freedom for common businesses.

## History

The origins of the Senam nation-state are far older than those of most modern nations in the world, as the empire is believed to have been officially proclaimed around 400 B.G.E. Following centuries of continuous rule by the empire, the eastern lands experienced several signs of decay which eventually led to generations of conflict between warring tribes. Despite several attempts at reunifying the empire, some of which lasted for almost a century, the region remained under the control of various warring factions until the eventual arrival of the colonial powers of Windsor, Roosendaal, and Anholt. Under the rule of these Kingdoms, the native culture of Senam was effectively suppressed and many aspects of faith and traditional practice were made illegal. The revitalization of the empire in 361 G.E. under Ragima Sulari and his fellow tribesmen, however, brought an end to this suppression and led to the eventual revitalization of Senamic culture. In this revitalization process, the native Senamic religion of *Esmiraf* (The Way of the Great Medium) became widely practiced throughout the entirety of the Senam region and eventually in other neighboring areas. The modern government of Senam is effectively controlled high-ranking members of the Yesmari tribe.

Tadami

**Tadami** (只見市, *Tadami-shi*) is a port city situated along the northern coast of Abira prefecture in the Imperial Republic of Shingō. Tadami is known for its prominent fishing industry, as the city accounts for nearly 6% of Shingō's annual seafood production. Several smaller towns and settlements can be found just outside the city's limits, such as the towns of Haboro and Kenbuchi. The city is the namesake of Tadami Bay, which spans from the eastern coast of Kaungkinmyay to the town of Shikama.

### History:

The origins of the city date back to around 50 G.E. as local inhabitants of the region are believed to have created fishing settlements in the area. Tadami, along with the rest of the Abira region, was fully annexed into the Imperial Republic of Shingō in 280 G.E. following a region-wide referendum.

### Etymology:

The name Tadami (只見) contains the characters for "ordinary/only" and "look/see." The origins of this name are still unknown, and some historians have theorized that the name derives its roots from archaic local pronunciations of *umi*, the word for "sea."
Rights Security Act

The **Rights Security Act** (Shingōan: 権利保障法, *Kenri hoshō-hō*) is a civil rights and labor law in the Imperial Republic of Shingō passed on 18 August 377 G.E. that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity. It prohibits discrimination and segregation in schools and public accommodations, as well as employment discrimination. The law was part of Prime Minister Kentarō Suzuki's Fair Society Initiative (公正社会構想, *Kōsei shakai kōsō*), of which the Suzuki Land Reforms of 376 G.E. and the Right to Housing Act of 377 G.E. were also major parts.

The Act grants the Ministry of Justice the ability to finance and bring initiate legal cases relating to discrimination on behalf of those who issue a complaint to the Ministry. The Minister of Justice is tasked with ensuring that all prefectural governments and territorial governments in the country are operating in compliance with this Act.

Watchers

**Watchers** are entities rumored to have appeared in multiple regions across the world, and are most commonly reported in areas of Tsukimoto and northern Tōkai. These entities are described as being skinny, quite tall (roughly 4-5 meters), and being entirely white. Additionally, watchers are said to possess long arms and no visible facial features. These entities are believed to appear in wide open fields and rural farms, and will simply stand and observe victims from afar. While different accounts vary in their descriptions of the entity's power and influence, most tales associate the watcher with bad luck and misfortune. Many stories of watchers claim that one or more traumatic or deadly events occurred shortly after the appearance of the entity and claim that it brings death.

Certain adaptations of these stories claim that a watcher will first appear to victims at a relatively far distance, and will gradually appear closer to its victims until it is finally close enough to kill them.

There is no universally agreed upon way to escape the influence of a watcher or make it go away; however, some claim that having a priest surround one's property or village with a divine barrier will be enough to make the entity become disinterested and find a different victim.
Weian Interest Party

The **Weian Interest Party** (Weian: 魏人利益黨, *Wèi rén lìyì dǎng*) is a political party in the Imperial Republic of Shingō. The party advocates primarily for the rights of ethnic Weians and for increased national investment into historically Weian regions of the country. Some members have expressed support for a plan to create an ethnically Weian prefecture by splitting Weian regions from the rest of Nishikado prefecture. The political position of the Weian Interest Party is generally described as broadly socially progressive; however, the party frequently refuses to enter coalitions with other parties in Parliament.

The party was founded in 353 G.E. but initially only saw limited success on a regional level, primarily winning seats in the Nishikado Prefectural Legislature. Its first national success occurred in the 73rd Shingōan National Election, where the party won two seats in Parliament (1 District Representative and 1 List Seat). After the 74th Shingōan National Election, the party was included in a ruling coalition with the Liberty Party and the Peace Party. During its time in this coalition, it played a major role in securing increased governmental investment into Weian regions and strengthening enforcement of anti-discrimination laws. Ever since its creation, the Weian Interest Party has struggled to obtain wider support across the country, specifically from regions with small populations of ethnic Weians.

The party has been left severely weakened following the defection of multiple high-ranking members who went on to create the Weian Laborers Association. The split in the party was motivated heavily by disagreements between head party figures over leadership styles, campaign strategy, and fund allocation, as well as the perceived ineffectiveness of the party to accomplish meaningful change in its nearly 40 year history. In the 79th Shingōan National Election, which occurred in January 396, the WLA's parliamentary candidate for representative of Dalang successfully defeated the candidate from the Weian Interest Party.
Second Weian Provisional Government

*This article is about the Second Weian Provisional Government. For the first Weian Provisional Government, see Provisional Government of Wei.*

## Government

### Head of State

Acting General Governor

The **Second Weian Provisional Government** (Weian: 第二届魏国临时政府, *Dì èr jiè wèi guó línshí zhèngfǔ*) was a short lived government that was established in 182 G.E. following the collapse of the Weian Republic and lasted until 185 G.E., when all of Wei was annexed by the Imperial Republic of Shingō.

After the Weian Republic was toppled by rebel forces in 180 G.E., the country was once again in a state of turmoil and civil war. Shingō and Tsukimoto continued to aid warlords with favorable outlooks towards them, which eventually resulted in the Second Provisional Government being established in 182 G.E.

As soon as it was formed, the new government was plagued with many dire problems; it had accumulated huge amounts of debt and lacked legitimacy in the minds of much of the general public. Government officials began secretly negotiating the possibility of having Wei annexed by the neighboring nation of Shingō as a semi-autonomous territory in exchange for guarantees of high-ranking Weian officials' safety and prosperity.

Negotiations concluded in 183 G.E. with Weian officials opting for annexation by Shingō. The Provisional Government would continue governing the nation for roughly two years until 185 G.E. when Wei was officially annexed into Shingō. The annexation sparked much controversy and anger amongst members of the Weian population, as the region was not incorporated as a semi-autonomous territory, but instead as part of the existing prefecture of Nishikado. Given that the regional government and general population of Nishikado was dominated by ethnically-Shingōan individuals, citizens in Wei were outraged and several riots occurred throughout the remainder of the year.
Union Party

The **Union Party** was a political party in the Republic of Tsukimoto that existed from 149 G.E. until its dissolution in 220 G.E. The Union Party exerted nearly uncontested power over Congress throughout the vast majority of its existence. Five Presidents (Daiki Kuronuma, Hiroto Matsui, Jurou Iwai, Noburu Kanzaki, and Saburō Kuronuma) were members of the party and led the government for a combined total of 68 years.

The Union Party promoted policies which strengthened the power of the national government and promoted economic growth. Specifically, the party pioneered the creation of a national bank, a national stock exchange, the national ban of inheritance taxes, and harsh punishments for those speaking out against the government. The Union Party primarily catered to the wishes of the ethnically Shingōan group of elites in Tsukimoto collectively known as the *Moriguchi*. The party upheld laws which prevented ethnic Tsukimotoans from running for public offices and made it very difficult for ethnic Tsukimotoans to vote in national elections. Consequently, the party was very unpopular amongst non ethnically-Shingōan groups and was frequently protested against by members of the general public.

The party was formed during the final term of Kurou Otoharada, the first President of Tsukimoto. The founders sought to create a Congressional union of like-minded individuals who would promote the national values established during Otoharada's government. The Union party was disbanded in 220 G.E. after a series of ethnic Tsukimotoan protests and strikes occurred throughout the nation. These protests demanded an end to *Moriguchi* rule and called for the reformation of the political system.
Wan-Shendian

**Wan-Shendian** (Weian: 萬神殿 *Wàn shéndiàn*), also referred to as the **great pantheon**, is a polytheistic religion practiced across the continent of Munao and was once the official religion of the Kingdom of Wei. Followers of this religion worship the "Supreme Deity" and his many subservient gods, and believe that these gods all represent and oversee various essential occurrences in the universe. The most well-known gods of Wan-Shendian are as follows:

* Tian-zhi-wang (the Supreme Deity)
* Taiyang-wangzi (Prince of the Sun)
* Yueliang-wangzi (Prince of the Moon)
* Ziran-wangzi (Prince of Nature)
* Huo-wangzi (Prince of Fire)

While certain gods may receive more attention and praise than others from practitioners of Wan-shendian, respect for the entirety of the divine pantheon is a core principle of the religion. Practitioners believe that one or more gods may become angry and displeased if they are no longer respected and commonly worshipped by the masses, and consequently, the balance between forces in the universe will be destroyed.
Right to Housing Act

The **Right to Housing Act** (Shingōan: 住宅取得権法, *Jūtaku shutoku-ken-hō*) is a statutory law in the Imperial Republic of Shingō adopted by the 72nd Shingōan Parliament on 11 April 377 G.E. The law operates under a Housing First policy, seeking to provide permanent housing as quickly as possible to homeless people with little to no eligibility requirements. The law was part of Prime Minister Kentarō Suzuki's Fair Society Initiative (公正社会構想, *Kōsei shakai kōsō*), of which the Suzuki Land Reforms of 376 G.E. and the Rights Security Act of 377 G.E. were also major parts.

The law was modified in October 393, when the government of Reform Party Prime Minister Shōgo Kobayashi amended it to require housing applicants to provide proof of their financial inability to obtain housing. Additionally, the amendment required those who receive government housing to apply for a job within four weeks, and for them to become employed within five months.

## Housing First

Housing First is an alternative to a system of emergency shelter/transitional housing progressions. Rather than moving homeless individuals through different "levels" of housing, whereby each level moves them closer to "independent housing" (for example: from the streets to a public shelter, and from a public shelter to a transitional housing program, and from there to their own apartment in the community), Housing First moves the homeless individual or household immediately from the streets or homeless shelters into their own accommodation.

Housing First approaches are based on the concept that a homeless individual or household's first and primary need is to obtain stable housing, and that other issues that may affect the household can and should be addressed once housing is obtained. In contrast, many other programs operate from a model of "housing readiness" — that is, that an individual or household must address other issues that may have led to the episode of homelessness prior to entering housing.

## Historical Background

The issue of homeless had long served as a major priority for members of the Liberty Party in the Imperial Republic of Shingō. Whilst previous housing policies had been proposed by previous Liberty Party governments, none had managed to gain widespread approval throughout the party. Many of the Liberty Party governments that preceded Kentarō Suzuki's premiership, therefore, opted to sidestep the issue of how to provide housing and instead focused on larger economic policies with the goal of reducing poverty and other factors that lead to homelessness.

The Right to Housing Act managed to gain the approval of the Liberty Party in Parliament largely due to the progressive wave that occurred in the 72nd Shingōan National Election, during which a large number of socially progressive members of the Liberty Party were elected into Parliament.

**Imahe** (Sabunese: *Imahê ZiɁ*) is the capital of the Union of Sabun and is the country's largest city by population. The city stands along the Taoga River in western Sabun and is a regional hub for maritime trade and commerce. The buildings in Imahe exhibit a wide array of different architectural styles, including: traditional Sabunese, Kaldanian, Shingōan, and Windsoran. The presence of these differing styles came as a result of the entrance of various foreign architects into the city following the end of the Second Shingō-Sabun War. Imahe is also notable for its large wall which completely surrounds the eastern edge of the city. The headquarters of all bodies of Sabun's national government are located in the city.

### History:

Imahe is believed to have first been founded around 400 B.G.E. by various groups who split away from larger nomadic tribes in the region. During this period, those inhabiting the city experienced frequent raids by neighboring tribes, who attempted to take the resources held within the city.

Around 310 B.G.E. members of the Sedik tribe launched several attacks and raids against the city and eventually came to occupy it in its entirety. Due to its strategic location along the Taoga River, merchants of the Sedik tribe began to establish businesses and trade shops in Imahe, which attracted many foreign visitors. In 309 B.G.E., the Sedik Chief Imunka seized the city with his army and constructed a castle for himself within it. The city would serve as the capital of the Kingdom of Sedik until 220 B.G.E., when nomadic raiders successfully invaded the city and destroyed the King's castle, killing the King in the process.

After the fall of the Kingdom, Imahe remained largely uninhabited for several decades until native groups in the region began to settle in the city and rebuild it. In 304 G.E. the city was proclaimed the capital of the Sabunese domain, and the residence of the Tribal Chief was relocated to Imahe.

Seventy years later in 373 G.E., the city would be heavily damaged by cannon fire in the Second Shingō-Sabun War. Throughout the course of the war, Shingōan forces launched several artillery attacks against the city in an effort to coerce the nation's civilians and military leaders to surrender. Following the end of the war, many foreign architects traveled to Imahe in order to experiment with alternative building styles when reconstructing the city. While some of these architects were recruited by Sabunese officials, many came out of their own desires to aid the reconstruction effort.

In 376 G.E., the city was designated as the capital of the newly-formed Union of Sabun. Following the formation of the new, internationally-recognized nation, several foreign diplomats and investors traveled to the city and aided its process of economic growth.
Second Gotō Cabinet

The **Second Gotō Cabinet** was the 6th publicly elected Government of the Empire of Shingō that presided during the seventh session of Parliament. It was sworn in on 2 January 159 and dismissed on 10 January 163. It was preceded by the First Gotō Cabinet and succeeded by the First Esashi Cabinet. Led by Prime Minister Isamu Gotō, it was comprised of members of the National Cooperation Party and other unaffiliated Ministers of State.
8th Senate Election of Ankika

The **8th Senate Election of Ankika** was held on 1 November 389 to determine the composition of the Senate of the Independent State of Ankika.

Voters elected candidates to serve as representatives of each of the nation's constituencies. These elections utilized a first-past-the-post voting system, meaning that the candidate who received a plurality of votes within a given constituency would be elected as representatives of that constituency. All 35 seats of the National Senate were up for election and the Free Democratic Party was forecasted to increase its share of seats.

In the election, the Free Democratic Party increased its seat count by 6 at the expense of the Nationalist Party who lost the same number of seats. The results were seen as a reflection of growing dissatisfaction with the Nationalist Party and its lack of progress in revitalizing the economy. In the 7th Presidential Election that occurred just a few days later, Rizav Karain of the Free Democratic Party was elected as the next president of Ankika.

The election took place 3 days before the first round of the 7th Presidential Election of Ankika. The results of both elections largely coincided as the Free Democratic Party saw an overall increase in national popularity.
Traveler's Tongue

The **Traveler's Tongue**, also referred to as **Common Tongue**, is a constructed language used across the world as a *lingua franca*. It is one of the most commonly spoken languages in the world and is often used to facilitate international trade and communication. Several countries with linguistically diverse populations such as Tsukimoto and Windsor have implemented the Traveler's Tongue as the official language of their national governments respectively.

The Traveler's Tongue is believed to have originated around 200 B.G.E. in what is now the Kingdom of Windsor, and consequently, the language is occasionally referred to as Windsorish. By 150 G.E., the language had gained widespread popularity and usage internationally and began to be used in more formal settings relating to diplomacy. The Traveler's Tongue is used by several modern international organizations such as the League of Sovereign States.

The script of the Traveler's Tongue is by far one of the most widely used in the world. Most languages can be written using the script and some languages like Ankikan are written primarily in the script.

## Phonology:

### Consonants

#### Consonant Phonemes:

In the table, when obstruents (stops, affricates, and fricatives) appear in pairs, such as /p b/, /tʃ dʒ/, and /s z/, the first is fortis (strong) and the second is lenis (weak). Fortis obstruents, such as /p tʃ s/ are pronounced with more muscular tension and breath force than lenis consonants, such as /b dʒ z/, and are always voiceless. Lenis consonants are partly voiced at the beginning and end of utterances, and fully voiced between vowels. Fortis stops such as /p/ have additional articulatory or acoustic features in most dialects: they are aspirated [pʰ] when they occur alone at the beginning of a stressed syllable, often unaspirated in other cases, and often unreleased [p̚] or pre-glottalised [ʔp] at the end of a syllable. In a single-syllable word, a vowel before a fortis stop is shortened: thus *nip* has a noticeably shorter vowel (phonetically, but not phonemically) than *nib* [nɪˑb̥].
Shingō Upper-House Referendum

The **Shingō Upper-House Referendum** was held on 9 April 385. The referendum question was, "Should the Shingōan government amend the constitution to add an upper-house to the Shingōan Parliament?", which voters answered with "Yes" or "No". The "No" side won with 68.8% voting against the proposal and 31.2% voting in favor. A constitutional amendment had NOT been approved by Parliament prior to the referendum, and the referendum was not asking citizens to confirm a constitutional amendment that had been proposed. Rather, it asked citizens their opinion on whether they wanted the government to try to amend the constitution. The referendum was promoted heavily by Prime Minister Noriaki Kondō, who was in favor of adding an upper-house. Many Shingōans were confused by the referendum and thought they were voting on a constitutional amendment, and thus, protests occurred in Chukyo demanding Parliament not to amend the constitution.

## Details of the Upper-House

While plans for the upper-house of Parliament were scrapped and not finalized after the results of the referendum were released, a basic plan had been published by members of the incumbent government, led by the Reform Party. The upper-house would consist of 12 representatives, with citizens of each prefecture electing 2 members. The consent of the upper-house would be required in order for Parliament to pass legislation, declare war, and amend the constitution.

Political analysts have speculated that the referendum was implemented with the goal of increasing the power of the Reform Party in Parliament. The upper-house would greatly increase the parliamentary representation of northern and rural prefectures, who tend to vote for the Reform Party. Thus, the incumbent Reform government received heavy criticism from opposition parties and the public for its perceived self-interest in calling the referendum.
Shingōan Munao

Flag of Shingōan Munao

**Shingōan Munao** (新郷領ムナオ, *Shingō ryō munao*) is a semi-autonomous state comprised of several loosely united provinces that were brought under Shingōan rule in 395 G.E. The capital of Shingōan Munao is the city of Kahoku (河北), which is located in the country's southern region along the banks of the Hakuryū River (白竜川).

## Government

The domestic, local government of Shingōan Munao handles most of the state's internal and day-to-day affairs, however, the Shingōan Parliament and Cabinet have supreme authority over all administrative and legal matters. Parliament has the authority to overrule local Munaoan laws and enforce its own ordinances across the state's territory. Shingōan Munao is represented in Parliament by one elected member, who has full voting power.

The Munaoan Legislative Council is the state's domestic legislative body. It is composed of 6 elected members, who then appoint one member amongst themselves to serve as the Premier of Shingōan Munao. The Premier is the head of the Cabinet and the local executive branch. In all elections, voting is restricted to land-owning men above the age of 20.
Voices of Righteousness

The **Voices of Righteousness** is a Tsukimotoan anti-government militia with ties to the [redacted] religion. The group encourages its members to sabotage government institutions and use any means necessary to undermine the Tsukimotoan government, which they claim to be illegitimate. The group was directly responsible for the Tsukimotoan Capitol Bombing on 11 April 392, an attack which killed President Jeon Do-Hyun and over half of all members of Congress. The attack led to the outbreak of the Tsukimotoan Civil War, in which members of the Voices of Righteousness, along with other anti-government forces, engaged in direct military combat with Tsukimotoan government forces.

## Tsukimotoan Civil War

During the latter half of the Tsukimotoan Civil War, members of the group retreated to the territory of Dae-Bugjjog, where they established a base of operations. On 15 December 392, a Tsukimotoan Air Force raid killed Sim Kwang-Deok, the leader of the Voices of Righteousness. Kyung Hu-Sam was subsequently designated as Sim's successor and the next leader of the group. Kyung defied other members of the group by meeting with Tsukimotoan military forces and agreeing to a ceasefire on December 28th, which led the group to banish Kyung and attempt to kill him.

### Preceded by

Kingdom of Wei

The **Provisional Government of Wei** (Weian: 魏国临时政府, *Wèi guó línshí zhèngfǔ*) refers to a brief period of direct military control following a succession crisis in the Kingdom of Wei. The military elite ruled the country for slightly less than four years, and during most of this period, the country was embroiled in a civil war. The Provisional Government was toppled by rebel forces in 172 G.E., and the Weian Republic was subsequently proclaimed.
Sabunese National Congress

The **Sabunese National Congress** (SNC) is a political party devoted to the societal advancement of the Union of Sabun. The party promotes education, modernization, and civilization for the people of Sabun and has advocated for the adoption of Shingōan ideals and technologies in replacement of what it has deemed "ineffective, traditionalist practices of the Sabunese people." The party has supported the position of Shingō as a colonial administrator over the Sabunese Protectorate and has argued that this dynamic between the two nations has allowed for "significant cultural improvement."

The SNC was the first party elected to represent the Sabunese Protectorate in the Shingōan Parliament following the passage of the Outer Territorial Representation Amendment, which provided each of Shingō's non-prefectural territories with parliamentary representation for the first time in history. The party has also gained a strong base of support in Sabun's domestic politics, as it has repeatedly emerged from local elections as the most heavily supported party in the region. Ever since the establishment of political parties in 395 G.E., the SNC has seen victories in almost all gubernatorial and municipal elections across Sabun.
