Etymology

(WIP. Where does your nation's name come from? Most RL national names come from a small variety of choice. Some examples: land of a tribe (ex.France, Persia, Mongolia, Russia), characteristic geography (ex. Netherlands, India, Morocco), an old ruler or religious figure (ex. Philippines, San Marino, Europa, Saudi Arabia), the Latin description of a place (ex. Australia, Argentina, Liberia). How is the name pronounced? How is it translated into other languages?)

Geography

(WIP. Landscape. Climate. Where exactly is your nation compared to others on the global map? Describe the landscape, plants and animals. Which mountains and rivers are important to include? Describe are the climate and seasons? How does geography determine where people live? Are there areas separated from one another? How about cities? This will greatly help you with the next part of history.)

!Siberian/!Antarctic and a bit that would be warm as to allow great population development (Hokkaido versus Tokyo region).

• 

  A stereotypical landscape.

• 

  A wild landscape.

• 

  Close-up of a plant.

• 

  A herbivorous animal.

• 

  A carnivorous animal.

History

(WIP. How did your current nation come to be? What were its previous incarnations? Was it part of a union with a neighbour? Which events shaped the way it is today?)

• Depending on the local population which would originally (or not) inhabit the islands (since like Amsterdam Island, or Reunion Island, there may not be originally any population) because of the region the claim would be situated in.
• $year: Colonised by Mitō in $year (date would depend on how far it is from Mitō, like Australia was colonised late in comparison to Canada)
• 1923: Would ascend to Dominion status in 1923; possibly some “racial” tensions throughout History and still to this day, because of “mitonese superiority”
• The Dominion would take part side by side with Mitō in the WW2 equivalent (and lose, from what I understood?); technologically/economically lagging behind.

Politics

Foreign affairs, alliances, membership of international organisations.)
