Nishou

Innovation incarnate, the country of Nishou is revolutionary to say the least. Home of the iconic mini-game, innovation meets honor and discipline here.

## Description

"*Forged by the waves of creation, we aim to conquer life and it's challenges*" -*Nishou Kingdom Creed* A country dedicated to it's craft, honor and innovation, are words that describe the beautiful country of Nishou.

## Localization

A country more notorious by sea than it is by land, Nishou is located in the Eastern hemisphere of Verona, surrounded almost entirely by ocean. But that has yet to deter the fortitude and spirit of it's people; rather in fact forging a mentality and drive to accommodate and conquer life's challenges thrown it's way.

## Administration & Government

While not the first to be formed, Nishou is the first to utilize the constitutional monarchy political structure successfully and efficiently. Similar to Tygpa, with few exceptions- Nishou's head of state or Emperor- serves a in a more influential role. Serving as both the face of the people and "Symbol of Hope" for their culture, the emperor of Nishou serves by the side of their Prime Minister in the capacity of an advisor. While the Cabinet is comprised of the elected Governors of each region of the country. Any S-Class mages elected to the Council of GuildMasters take precedent over majority of roles served.

The capital is **JuuShi**, and the primary monetary unit in Nishou is Silver/Drachma .
