Taiyo-Aki

The center of the original Sun Empire, now its own nation after the other regions declared independence. Taiyo-Aki has been at war ever since, the Empress attempting to reunite Kawakuni.

Structure

Taiyo-Aki still follows the feudal system it was using before the civil war started. The Sun Empress commands all, while her shoguns command different regions of Taiyo-Aki. There are currently three remaining shoguns, who each have their own samurai and troops (bakufu).

Religion

Most Kawakunese, including Akians, pray to one of the many Kawakunese gods. Usually they pray to local spirits and minor gods, often at a shrine.
