Kaijo

Kaijo (海常), officially Kaijo Metropolis (海常都) or Kaijo Prefecture is one of the 10 main prefectures of Teiko and is one of the three direct government controlled districts. Kaijo was the former capital of Teiko and the center of Greater Kaijo Area, the most populous metropolitan area in the country.
