== Etymology ==
== Etymology ==


The name for Hangoku comes from the Hangen characters '瀚' meaning ocean and '国' meaning country and is pronounced ''Hangoku'' or ''Hankoku''.  
The name for Mikochi comes from the [[Sheng dynasty]], who dubbed the island Kò-hái ê tē (過海地), roughly translating to Land Across the Sea in the Sheng Language.
 
As the Azumic language began to adopt Sheng characters, the Sheng name for the island was translated as Umi-koe no Chi (海越えの地). Throughout time, the name would simplify to Mikochi (海越地).  


Throughout most of the 20th century, Hangoku was known internationally as the Lotus Kingdom and later the Lotus Republic, the name being taken from the sea in which Hangoku is located. Following the [[Second Hangoku Civil War]], the new government made an appeal to the international community to standardise the name in all languages as Hangoku.

==== Umikyo Special Economic Area ====
=== Military ===
The [[Umikyo Special Economic Area|Umikyo Special Economic Area (USEA)]], is a [[wikipedia:Special_economic_zone|Special Economic Zone]] covering the four cities of Umikyo City, Shiokaze City, Kaiyo City and Hanasui City. The USEA was created by incumbant Chancellor Kurogane Kenshin in 2018 following her election to office. The USEA has different taxation laws and customs than the rest of Hangoku, in an effort to promote the growth of Hangoku's service sector.
Mikochi's military is the [[Mikochi Defence Force|Mikochi Defense Force]] (MDF), and comprises 3 branches covering Sea, Air and Land. The MDF was created following the implementation of the 1986 constitution, and was a reformed version of the revolutionary forces that won the civil war 6 years prior. The MDF was outlined as a force to protect peace and not one to instigate violence.
 
Much of the HDF was restructured in 2012, following the reelection of Chancellor XX, XX. The MDF's funding was doubled, with the implementation of the '12-year plan' put in place to triple the strength of the MDF.
 
'''Mikochi Coastal Defence Force'''


Whilst each city maintains it's own police force, the Umikyo Metropolitan Police (UMP) was created in 2019 and covers the entire SEZ.
The [[Mikochi Defence Force#Mikochi Coastal Defence Force|Mikochi Coastal Defence Force]] (CDF) is a vital branch of Mikochi's armed services, primarily responsible for ensuring maritime safety, security, and environmental protection within the nation's territorial waters and exclusive economic zones. The CDF operates a diverse fleet of vessels, including patrol boats, surveillance vessels, and specialized firefighting and hydrographic survey ships. With its headquarters in Shiokaze, the CDF is also involved in search and rescue operations, maritime law enforcement, and disaster response, effectively safeguarding the maritime interests and coastal communities of Mikochi.

(paragraph on history)

(paragraph on demographic/culture/religion)

(paragraph on government/IR)

Since the end of the Second Mikochi Civil War, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Mikochi has seen yearly growth for almost 40 years, which currently sits at $549,989,258,274. Mikochi's economy has traditionally been driven by primary sector goods, however Mikochi has started to transition into the secondary and tertiary sectors, such as commerce, tourism and manufacturing . Mikochi is a newly industrialised mixed economy, with a high ranking Human Development Index and very high Gini coefficient. Mikochi's primary exports are automobiles, consumer goods and fish.

Etymology

The name for Mikochi comes from the Sheng dynasty, who dubbed the island Kò-hái ê tē (過海地), roughly translating to Land Across the Sea in the Sheng Language.

As the Azumic language began to adopt Sheng characters, the Sheng name for the island was translated as Umi-koe no Chi (海越えの地). Throughout time, the name would simplify to Mikochi (海越地).

Throughout most of the 19th and 20th century, Mikochi was known internationally as the Lotus Kingdom and later the Lotus Republic, the name being taken from the sea in which Mikochi is located. Following the Second Mikochi Civil War, the new government made an appeal to the international community to standardise the name in all languages as Mikochi.
