Imperial Sunland

The Imperial Domain of Sunland (commonly referred to as Sunland or LDS) was formerly an island nation that unified nearly a hundred years ago during the end Kiyoka dynasty's demise. Now including the territories abroad in the Eastern Oceans and Bando, the natural restrictions that confined Sunland were alleviated. The current Dynastic Lord, Hitohito is the 4th ruler and the oldest ever to take office, at forty two. Contrary to popular belief, the Dynastic Lord is not the lord of any dynasty as Hitohito organized the military coup of the previous Dynastic Lord, Kukimonsuta.

## Population

The population of Sunland, according to recent census data, is 60 million in Sunland, and population estimates in Bando is around 10 million. Most of these people are Hito, followed by Bandon, then assimilated Sino natives across the various pacific islands. The New Yourk Resident believes that nearly 50 thousand Amerikans are in abroad for various reasons, including tourism, work, corporate espionage, enforcing Amerikan culture ("westernizing"), increasing diversity, and forcibly opening up isolated markets "Perry" style. Rumors of "meiosis visas" are unfortunately not confirmed to be true.

## Military

The military of Sunland focuses on the doctrine of quantity. However, as Generic Sino-War dragged on, military doctrine shifted to quality. With over six million Hitos enlisted in all six branches, a massive and proud nation like the Jeng Empire and even the war-hardened Northern Slavic Union would find great trouble fighting.

### Imperial Sunland Armed Forces

A combination of motorized infantry, light and heavy armor, and artillery that can damage any tier 2 military, cripple any tier 3 military, and annihilate any tier 4 military coalitions made the I.S.A.F. a imposing force in Generic Sino-War. With over four million soldiers and a hundred thousand commissioned officers, large convoys and human wave attacks were commonplace. Hitohito's "Tunnel to Bando" allowed for the logistics of said soldiers to be possible.

Yet despite the numerical advantage of the I.S.A.F., they faced great difficulties combatting certain elements of the Jeng Empire. Particularly Mainlander and drama rebels. Mainlander was determined to be undefeatable, immune to even his own enlightenment rays when reflected with silver. Silver bullets were subsequently utilized as it was believed that he was a Confusing witch, until Hitohito rightly determined that Confusing morals did not make a witch, otherwise they would have used **only** silver bullets against the Sino.

After that, in an attempt to counter the enlightenment rays, thin silver plates were mounted on vehicles, providing some protection against the rays. This also made it valuable for the Sino Metal Scrapping Union, known as scavengers by the Hitos, to blatantly steal the plates to melt down to scrap. In response, Hitohito ordered for all officers to carry a 100 grams of silver (in the form of coins, plates, or their kayanta blade) that can be melted down to recover the lost silver in the event of a scavenger raid. Due to something called finite supply and infinite demand however, this was often not met.
