(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.
