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.

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.

Japanese colonisation
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 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 between 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.

Provinces
Kaisan has a total of 10 provinces.

Languages
With Kaisan being heavily influenced from both China and Japan, the two main languages spoken are Chinese and Japanese. Most of the people in the region between Taiko and Anashi speak Japanese with the exclusion of Mangdu which has a lot of Chinese influence.

Education
The education system in Kaisan follows the Kaisanese Education Act which was introduced in 2000 and applies in every province of the country. There are many schools and universities in Kaisan, the largest university in the country is the University of Tokai Province (UTP) located in Taiko.
