Kaisan

Kaisan, officially the Republic of Kaisan, is a Southeast Asian country with neighbours China to the north and east and Vietnam to its west. The nation joined the Alliance of Independent Nations in December, 2012. It covers a total area of 161,165 km2 and has a population of 36 million. The capital and largest city is Taiko, with a population of 8.2 million.

Etymology
The name Kaisan comes from the translation of 海山 from Japanese which means seamount.

Founding of Misuko
In 30 BCE, the island of Misuko sees its first inhabitants. Chinese explorers discovered the pristine island and military strong people came to the island to form a new empire, the Kaisanese Empire.

Territorial expansion
The Kaisanese Empire begin territorial expansion onto islands disputed in East Asia including Atarashima. In 983, the Okataian Empire claims the island and a battle is fought against the two empires with victory going to Okatabawashi.

Japanese colonisation period
The island of Misuko is colonised by the Japanese Empire in 1870 and Anashi becomes the first established city of the territory. Misuko becomes occupied as an army base for the Japanese Empire and Anashi becomes one of the busiest ports of the world at the time due to the high resources on the island.

The First Sino-Japanese War takes place in 1894, with Misuko being an army base for the Japanese Empire, it was a key centre of where the action took place. After a long battle, the Japanese Empire claimed victory by colonising a territory on the mainland of China. In 1898, independence from Japan was brought upon the territory.

Misuko Strait War
Misuko Strait War begins around August 1902 as the Chinese Empire claims the island of Misuko to being a Chinese territory by attacking what was the small town of Anashi. The Kaisanese Empire did not have a strong force as much of the army was on the mainland and Misuko Strait was blocked off by Chinese ships. Both empires had an all-out war for Misuko. After 20 days of battle on Misuko Strait, the Chinese Empire flees and attacks the city of Mangdu. The Chinese Empire successfully occupies part of the city but they were led out by the Kaisanese Empire.

Warlord era
Republic of China is recognised by the Kaisanese government but descended into chaos during the Warlord Era between 1916 until 1928. There are Communist/Nationalist/Seperatist battles in the 1920's and 1930's throughout Kaisan and became entirely occupied by the Japanese Empire during the Second World War.

Shortly after the end of the Second World War, Kaisan no longer stayed as an empire and changed its status to a Republic. The Imperial Palace has since been unoccupied by anyone and is a historic building which cannot be demolished.

Communists are forced out of Misuko by Seperatist forces in 1949 which was then followed by forcing out Nationalists from Misuko and Mainland Kaisan by Dai Fuchia in 1950. Dai Fuchia seizes power of Kaisan and introduces radical economic and social policies to industrialise Kaisan including massive militarisation during 1960-1980 to defend against Mao and Communist China.

Tensions with China


Atarashima is captured by the Seperatist forces after Chinese Nationalists threaten to invade Kaisan; Dai Fuchia threatens to invade Taiwan resulting China to back down and fails to recapture Atarashima, which is then declared independent but heavily reliant in 1982

In 1990, problems arise as Nanning was divided by two sides. Kaisan proposes to form a Special Administrative Region (SAR) for the Nanning area but 79% of China declines the proposal and protests took place in Nanning causing a lot of fatalities and damaged buildings. Access into the Kaisanese side of Nanning was blocked off as China plotted an attack. Discussions between the head of states took place and both Kaisan and China agree on making Nanning an SAR. Nanning was reverted back to Kaisan and China in 2010 following an agreement on keeping peace between both sides of the city.

Modern era
Today, Kaisan has continued to rapidly grow in population and economy wise. The country has also been recognised as a highly developed country in the Southeast Asian region.

Economy
In 2010, Kaisan's nominal GDP reached US$1.18 trillion, with a nominal GDP per capita of $32,512, according to the Ministry of Finance and Information (MFI).

Manufacturing, information technology and high-tech industries now form a large and fast-growing part of the national economy. Kaisan is also a relative newcomer to the oil industry. Like its Chinese neighbours, Kaisan has begun developing and planning ahead with five-year plans. The country also produces gold in the western provinces.
