Toujin (Iton: 島人[tou'jin]), officially the Republic of Toujin (Iton: 島人共和国 [tou'jin kyōwakoku]), is a semi-democratic unitary constitutional republic located in the east Atlantic. The current government, the Republic of Toujin, was founded in 1864 after the Toujin Revolution as a result of the collapse of the "Toujin Alliance" The country itself was originally founded in 1536 and was simply called "Toujin". The island nation is situated on the island of Toujin, which is where the country takes its name. Toujin is neighbored by other island nations, its closest neighbors being the Rensai Conglomerate and the Republic of Shinto. The country itself resides in an archipelago in the east Atlantic Ocean, and is comprised of 12 island nations. The culmination of these Island nations is called the "Nagasaki Conglomerate" also known as the NC, and holds annual sporting events for all members of the archipelago. The Republic of Toujin has an area of 67,239 km2 and a population of 24,287,463, making it the largest and most populated island of the archipelago, and often hosts these annual events.
Toujin is officially divided into 22 prefectures, and 4 territories. Each territory elects two representatives that participate in the Higher Chambers of Representatives. The capital territory, Tarabashi, is comprised of 5 prefectures, and elects three representatives. Each prefecture has representatives based on population that are delegated by local officials. These representatives participate in the Ministry of legislation, which is comprised of 100 representatives, and works primarily on local legislation. With the capital territory having the most delegates and representatives of the three territories, they hold the most political power in the democratic system. Outside the democratic system in Toujin, the United Congress takes charge of national level legislature, and constitution modification. The members of the United Congress are elected by a select group of individuals comprised of government delegates and officials, as well as other special interest groups such as CEOs, and celebrities. While these individuals are technically part of a democratic process, this election is not influenced by the citizens, thus it takes place outside the democratic system. These elections are held once every four years, differing from the bi-annual elections of territorial delegates. There is also no term limit, opposed to the four term territorial delegate limit.
The geography of Toujin is harsh and heavily mountainous. Approximately two-thirds of the country's terrain is mountainous and heavily forested, and less than one-sixth of land is suitable for agriculture. As a consequence of highly mountainous terrain, the majority of Toujin citizens reside in one of the nations many cities, as the urban population accounts for nearly 80% of the nation's population. The largest of these cities is the city of Kobayatsu, with a population of 7.4 million, followed by the capital Tarabashi, and the entertainment hub Sendai.
The Republic of Toujin is considered a developed economy with a GDP per capita of $24,000 and a HDI of 0.783. Throughout the 19th century, Toujin's economy was initially built on its abundant natural resources such as coal and iron. After the "Toujin Recession of 1912", the economy shifted away from its reliance on natural resources, and towards manufacturing and other industries. As a result, the economy shifted towards secondary and tertiary sectors at a rapid pace throughout the 20th century. During the late 20th century, the economy had almost completely shifted away from natural resource production and refinement. As of 2017, More than 78% of the workforce works in the tertiary or quaternary sector, and less than 1% work in the primary sector. The nation's two highest grossing industries are entertainment and electronics.
