East Hiakemiria is one of the two or three major cultural and political regions of the Hiakemirian continent, comprising the states of Neo-Korea, Janpia, Svetvostok, Joseon, Matsumae, Veliksaria, and the unrecognized state of Fukuyama, alongside the three autonomous territories of Neo-Korea. East Hiakemiria contains a number of globally relevant international economies, including the aforementioned Janpia and Joseon, and borders West Hiakemiria to the West and Nordurland to the North. It additionally borders the Marinan Ocean, the Mare Noctus, and the Northern Ocean.

East Hiakemiria has historically been notable for its early adoption of international trade and colonialism, with the Jungg'oan Empire having possessed foreign holdings in modern-day Chilokver and Jin Yi since the early 500BCE period. This prominence allowed it to spread and receive notable cultural and political discoveries, allowing for such technological innovations as the first firearms and cannons - alongside a number of other non-military innovations. Despite this advantage, political disputes and mass conflicts would weaken the region to an extent that allowed for colonial ventures to be established, first by Aureumterra and then by states such as Marquesan. These colonial developments would have a distinct impact on the development of the region.

Major religions include the Kigenist faith, imported religions from the colonial period, and a number of others. Major languages include the Hiakemirian Constructed Language, Jien, Janpian, and a number of others. The region is home to major economic and political centers, including a number of globally prominent cities.

History

Prehistory

The first recorded traces of settlement in East Hiakemiria can be traced back to approximately 8,000BCE through pottery - with the beginning of human inhabitation, although larger scale centralization and construction of early structures of civilization would not occur until approximately 4000BCE, with the centralization and expansion of existing agriculture. The first entities recognizable as a distinct state would emerge in approximately 2000BCE, in the territory of modern-day Jungg'o. This early entity would expand to the modern-day Nán Yánshēn, influencing the development of Kāichrén protostates in the process.

Pre-Collapse Era

Jungg'o would incorporate the majority of Kāichrén-territories into itself by the early 800BCE period - with the newly gathered control of the coastal areas of East Hiakemiria's south allowing it to begin investigation into the construction of greater naval and fleet structures. This process would take decades under a succession of navally-minded rulers, but by the end of such the Dànfāduì, or the Great Southern Fleet would be fully constructed - and would see its first actions in the beginning of the colonization of Chilokver under the reign of the Húlí Nǚwáng in 530BCE.
