Flag of the Neo Shogunate

## Summary

**The Neo Shogunate** is Moderate sized faction lead by Alex626, it was created in an effort to regain the lands of the old Ukallik Shogunate and is considered the successor of it, with their goal being to reunite the old Shogunate and reform it. Although it's goal in the beginning was to recapture the Southern Reaches to the Ukallik Shogunate as a small rebellion, it evolved to become a fully-fledged country as its size about the same if not as large as the former Shogunate. Some say that **The Neo Shogunate** is the spiritual successor of the old Shogunate until the Old Shogunate is restored.

## Country Overview

The country consists of a group of islands that each have a different purpose. As of October 2021, three islands are purely fortresses, two islands are purely residential, one island is for industrial/storage, and one island is a fortress city.

The country has the second largest navy in the world, and relies heavily on Caplock weapons. After the Ukallik Shogunate's collapse, military culture of the Japanese shifted from using melee weapons in combat to using gunpowder as they experienced an industrial revolution.

Currently, the rulers of the **Neo Shogunate** is currently the Ukallik Family, with its head leader Alex626 as its shogun. There are talks of the future of the islands and hopefully the Southern Regions in the imperial court to spilt up the territories into domains, with the males of the Ukallik Family each having a domain to rule, as overextension is put into question with the shogun handling all the territories at once.

## History

After the Wicken-Ukallik War, The Ukallik Shogunate Collapsed as result of losing all of its territories to the Wickenfjorn. As a result, the Ukallik family was subjected to Wickenfjorn and would be for life if it wasn't for Squid to save them. Unhappy with the changes, the Ukalliks fled the city of Drammårn, Wickenfjorn to the city of Zergeist, The Squidonian Empire with the help of Squid.

Upon Arriving in The Squidonian Empire, Squid gifted them an estate to live in, on the condition that Alex626 help Squid on some of the projects in the city. This lead to major development in Zergeist and its surrounding territories, including being the one who constructed the Zergeist Cathedral.

After constructing 6 buildings, Squid decided to let Alex626 go early in order to upstart a revolution whose goal is to restore Alex's right to rule in the Southern Reaches. Alex626 left Zergeist while the rest of the royal family stayed behind to ensure the family's safety. To this day, the Ukallik Family is still in exile in The Squidonian Empire .

Alex626 essentially settled in KoKo Island, an island in the middle the ocean that for most of its history was mainly uninhabited, until now. There he established **The Neo Shogunate** and it's capital, Haven Island. He later on expanded to other parts of the ocean as he fears that the revolution will end early if Viking\_Seagull can easily take over the island.

## Military

In terms of military, **The Neo Shogunate** processes the second largest navy in the world, behind Wickenfjorn. With ships consisting of paddle steamships and sleek ironclads. **The Neo Shogunate** uses gunpowder weapons as their primary choice of combat, as they kill the target the moment they aim at them. Unlike the previous Shogunate, the nation has a huge reserve of gunpowder ready on standby in the event that ammo needed to be replenished.

## Economy

The Neo Shogunate's economy is a semi-closed economy, meaning that it gather's resources for themselves, while doing trade with the outside world (although uncommon). The economy relied on mining in order to keep it afloat, as other industries such as farming or tree-cutting are not suitable for the islands.
