South Misai (Hananese: 南美西, Minamimisai) officially the Republic of Misai (Hananese: 美西共和国, Misai Kyōwakoku) is a nation in the Sea of Savai occupying the southern portion of the Misai Archipelago. It borders North Misai to the north and Savai to the south. Misai also shares a maritime border with Oshima. South Misai is a democratic constitutional republic. The capital city and the largest city of South Misai is Ebiwan. Despite only controling the southern portion of the Misai Archipelago, the Republic of Misai claims to be the legitimate and rightful government of the entirety of the archipelago.
The Misai archipelago was inhabited by various people groups prior to the arrival of the Hananese settlers in 1122. Hananese colonisation led to the creation of highly autonomous fiefdoms led by local daimyos. Eventually Misai would declare itself the indipendent Kingdom of Misai in 1437; however, disagreements between the northern and southern daimyos on the main island would lead to the division of the kingdom into north and south. It is largely during this period that Southern Misai came under Midrasian influence. The kingdom would be reunified in 1792 in the Rokuda Unification but would continue to be subjected to Asuran influence in the region.
Discontent towards daimyo rule and an increased public will for a democratic system led to the Ebiwan Revolution where the Republic of Misai was proclaimed which plunged Misai into a civil war. Fighting in the war quickly drew into a stalemate on the main island while the Republican Armed Forces consolidated its control over the southern islands. Due to the stalemate of the war, an armstice was called in 1924. Tensions between the north and south slowly declined as public sentiment in both countries turned against the hostile relations between north and south. This culminated in the creation of the Misai Council in 1944 where both sides began the process of deep integration. Today North and South Misai are two of the most well-inegrated countries in the world to the point that many view reunification as redundant.
Today South Misai is a part of various international organizations such as the Misai Council. South Misai is ranked very high in the Human Development Index and has one of the world's highest life expectancies at 83.6 years. South Misai is a developped country with a high-income economy. It is also a high preformer in a myriad of international listings of democracy, civil liberties and press freedoms. South Misainese citizens also receive free education, universal healthcare and some of the longest paid maternity leave in the world.
