The Dominion of Kōri-Chi, more commonly abbreviated as Kōri-Chi, is a subject-state of the Empire of Mitō established in 1923, located in CONTINENT on Eurth. It is bordered by NEIGHBOURINGNATION to the north, NEIGHBOURINGNATION in the east, NEIGHBOURINGNATION to the south, and NEIGHBOURINGNATION in the west. Renowned for most of its territory being inhospitable, population is concentrated to warmer lands in the north, combining population density which pushed for great economic inequalities, development of organised crime, lack of infrastructure and unexploited natural resources.

Etymology

(WIP. Where does your nation's name come from? Most RL national names come from a small variety of choice. Some examples: land of a tribe (ex.France, Persia, Mongolia, Russia), characteristic geography (ex. Netherlands, India, Morocco), an old ruler or religious figure (ex. Philippines, San Marino, Europa, Saudi Arabia), the Latin description of a place (ex. Australia, Argentina, Liberia). How is the name pronounced? How is it translated into other languages?)

Geography

(WIP. Landscape. Climate. Where exactly is your nation compared to others on the global map? Describe the landscape, plants and animals. Which mountains and rivers are important to include? Describe are the climate and seasons? How does geography determine where people live? Are there areas separated from one another? How about cities? This will greatly help you with the next part of history.)

Siberian/Antarctic and a bit that would be warm as to allow great population development (Hokkaido versus Tokyo region).

History

(WIP. How did your current nation come to be? What were its previous incarnations? Was it part of a union with a neighbour? Which events shaped the way it is today?)

Depending on the local population which would originally (or not) inhabit the islands (since like Amsterdam Island, or Reunion Island, there may not be originally any population) because of the region the claim would be situated in; colonised by Mitō in X (date would depend on how far it is from Mitō, like Australia was colonised late in comparison to Canada); would ascend to Dominion status in 1923; possibly some “racial” tensions throughout History and still to this day, because of “mitonese superiority”; the Dominion would take part side by side with Mitō in the WW2 equivalent (and lose, from what I understood?); technologically/economically lagging behind.

Politics

(WIP. Government. Separation of powers. Who rules, how, and for how long? Political parties. What levels of government exist? How about the local level? Who makes the laws? Who deals out your justice? Which government services exist? What is the name of your police? How are the armed forces organised? Foreign affairs, alliances, membership of international organisations.)

Government

The Government is the executive organ of the Dominion, led by the Governor, appointed by the Diet by a simple majority, among its 171 Councilors. The Governor is then presenting his duties to the Emperor, who validates or not his position. The Governor is in charge of appointing Ministers in the name of the Emperor, as to manage the Dominion. Current Ministries are: Ministry of Home Affairs; Ministry of Imperial and Foreign Affairs; Ministry of Finance; Ministry of Infrastructure; Ministry of Defense; Ministry of Navy; Ministry of Knowledge; Ministry of Health; Ministry of Industry; Ministry of Environment.

Diet

Diet of Kōri-Chi.

The Diet is the legislative organ of the Dominion, composed of 171 Councillors, each elected in their respective prefectures. Councillors may bring matter to the floor of the Diet, that are to be discussed and debated, may result in the drafting of legislations, which are then voted upon, and passing through a simple majority. The Diet have the authority to appoint or dismiss the Governor.

Monarchy

The Emperor is the highest figure, disposing of all powers, as an absolute monarch. His regular duties are considered to be accepting the elected Governor or his resignation, alongside the voted decisions of the Diet. He however disposes of a veto power over all legislations passing through the Diet, he may equally force resignation of any Councilor or the Governor, and may pass legislations in force.

Mitonese (Japanese) and a local culture (depending on where I'll be on the map, will adopt some of the local culture inherent to that part of the map, which would then have Japanese colonists, think of it like NZ who was exclusively Maori, but now because of colonisation have lots of British culture/demographics).
