The **Republic of Tsukimoto** (Tsukimotoan: 수케 공화국, *Su'ke gonghwagug*), commonly referred to as **Tsukimoto** or **Su'ke**, is a large country located primarily within the continent of Tōkai. The twin cities of Ikeda and Niihama serve as the nation's capital and seat of government. The country is divided into six administrative regions, five of which are provinces and one of which is a territory. Tsukimoto is a member of the Central Tōkai Union (CTU), an international alliance whose membership also contains Shingō and Yokoze.

## Government & Economy

Tsukimoto's form of government is a parliamentary republic, in which the President of Tsukimoto is both the head of state and head of government. In contrast to other parliamentary systems like Shingō and Yokoze, Tsukimoto does not have a ceremonial, nonpartisan head of state. The President is elected by the Congress from among its membership to a four-year term that runs concurrently with the term of the term of the Congress.

Members of Congress are elected using a mixed-member proportional voting system to represent the people of the nation. The Tsukimotoan Congress consists of 50 representatives and is currently controlled by a ruling coalition led by the Solidarity Party. The current cabinet is headed by President Han Yong-jin of the Constitutional Democracy Party.

Congress shares some of its legislative authority with the National Council, the second chamber of the Tsukimotoan national legislature. Constitutional amendments and laws that affect provincial powers require the consent of the National Council, in addition to Congress, to pass. Members of the Council are not directly elected; instead, they are appointed by provincial legislatures after each provincial election. The seat allocation of the Council is as follows: Gijang - 5 seats, Honbetsu - 5 seats, Limburg - 5 seats, Wakuya - 5 seats, Jinan - 4 seats, Maritime Territories - 1 seat.

Tsukimoto has a mixed economy with relative market freedom for common businesses, although government subsidies for various industries are quite common. As a member of the Central Tōkai Union, Tsukimoto utilizes the Shingōan Yen (¥) as its primary currency.

## History

### Kingdom of Su'ke

The Kingdom of Su'ke was proclaimed in 170 B.G.E. after tribes of the Yumogmin peoples in the central Tsukimoto region were conquered and subdued. By 5 B.G.E., almost all of the Tsukimotoan Islands had been united under the Su'ke Kingdom.

In contrast to neighboring Shingō which, in response to increasing levels of foreign missions and merchants, had gradually opened the country to the rest of the world and undergone the Sūnei Restoration, the Kingdom of Su'ke adopted a policy of isolationism. This policy involved forcefully expelling or killing any foreigners who landed on the Tsukimotoan Islands, which quickly led relations between Su'ke and nations in the northeast to become hostile.

In 9 G.E., these hostilities culminated in Rösdal and Windsor's respective invasions of Su'ke, during which they established colonial regimes across the Tsukimotoan Islands. In 44 G.E., Windsor mounted an expansionist campaign to take over the entirety of the Tsukimotoan Islands, conquering Rösdalan colonies in the process. In 51 G.E., the exiled king of Su'ke, along with his heirs, died in Windsoran captivity, bringing an end to the Tsukimotoan royal family.

Following the conclusion of the Three Decades' War in 87 G.E., the Tsukimotoan Islands were incorporated into the Shingōan Empire, and ethnically-Tsukimotoan rebel groups switched from fighting against the Windsoran regime to the Shingōan regime. In 117 G.E., the Tsukimotoan Independence War began and would last until 135 G.E.

### Republic of Su'ke (Republic of Tsukimoto)

The Republic of Tsukimoto was formed in the aftermath of the Tsukimotoan Independence War, in which citizens across the Tsukimotoan Islands fought against the Empire of Shingō for sovereignty and independence as a nation.

Once the nation became independent however, its social, economic, and political affairs were all dominated by the ethically-Shingōan group of elites known as the *Moriguchi*. This group exerted huge amounts of power over the country due to its control over large corporations and government positions and heavily discriminated against ethnic Tsukimotoans and other minority groups in the country.

Tensions between the general population and the *Moriguchi* elites culminated in the Tsukimotoan Revolution, which lasted from 264 to 266 G.E. The Revolution caused members of the Moriguchi and other ethnically Shingōan elites to lose their control over the country and led to the emergence of a new, more democratic government controlled by the general population.

## Society

In current day Tsukimoto, social dynamics and hierarchies are complex and multifaceted. Ethnic tensions, while typically not hostile, still exist between different groups in the country, particularly between ethnic minorities and the ethnic Tsukimotoan majority. Women also face significant gender inequality, with restricted suffrage and limited opportunities for advancement.

In addition, there are notable economic and social disparities between different social classes. The wealthy elite, who are often ethnic Tsukimotoans, hold a disproportionate amount of power and influence, while the lower classes struggle to make ends meet. This has led to growing resentment and frustration among the working class and marginalized groups, who feel that they are not being adequately represented or supported by the government.

Furthermore, the country is grappling with the consequences of its recent civil war and ongoing international disputes, which have further exacerbated existing social tensions and inequalities. Yet in spite of this complex political and social landscape, modern Tsukimotoan society is also characterized by advancements in technology that have led to urbanization, industrialization, and a growing middle class.
