Toyana
The empire of Toyana or simply Toyana, is an island nation, based off of the Furusato Archipelago, Ebisu Strait and the Makigai Archipelago which all lie on the westernmost tip of the south of Ausiana. Bordering north with the Kalea Confederation, south with Nektain and the Neratov Sea, east with the Toyana Ocean and west with Tosichi, the Tosichean Gulf and Gangkou, or Kōkō, as it's known in Toyanese, is known as 'The land in the end of the world'. With a population of exactly 85,000,000 people, it's the 6th most populous country on Ausiana.
Toyana is under the rule of the house of X, but the government is mostly managed by the Greater Southestern Ausianan Identity Coalition GSWAIC, leaded by the Home ministry of Toyana.
Etymology
夲簗 Tōyana or Tauyana (second form is an archaism) comes from the old Yuanese 夲 Tō, (To) run very quickly (as fast as 10 people), as quick as ten men, fast-paced and 簗 Yana, fishing trap. Which are two of the most noticeable things the old Cao warring states discovered when visiting the southern islands.
There's a more derogatory way of writing Tōyana, as 等 (et cetera) 簗 which means 'the remainder/the other fishing traps' resting importance to the islands and their importance on the region, and while this may have been the original form the country got its name from, it was later changed by the natives.
Prehistory
Modern History
Religion in Toyana
Toyana follows the most popular religion in Southwestern Ausiana, [Hinayana Buddhism] with its own variant the Tamado, a natural religion with different sources claiming one is the same classification as the other or sometimes seen as different religions. Tamado is a religious syncretist faith that developed separated from Hinayana, and as the later one was introduced to the islands at around 500 BCE, it incorporated it and gained teachings from it and it absorbed enough material to be considered a branch but doesn't have enough in common to be taken as the same exact religion as the practices in mainland Ausiana. Hence Shinbutsu shugo is the best term to describe the interaction of both with each other.
Tamado and Hinayana Buddhism are the religions with the most followers in that order with 89 to 90% of the total population claiming to be a follower of at least some kind, followed by Christianism, mainly Zianism at 5%, then Islam by 1.5% of the population which is entirely foreign in nature.
There is controversy with the native religions that don't come from the [Furusato archipelago] since these are often classified as Tamado or outright data is ignored. Such is the case with the [Kacchinean] religion, Mabuiism since it has so many similar practices derived from the same sources as Tamado.
Numbers are estimated to be in around 1 to 14.5% of the population are mabuiists, followed by Islam at 0.5% and the remaining of the population being either atheist, agnostic or other less practiced religions.
