Kori
History
Kori used to consist of a number of small clans who would constantly squabble over land. In 437RH two notable figures would arise to unify their lands. On the western side of the island a man who would grant himself title of Shogun. Shogun Tsueno would use the force of his fearsome samurai troops to crush anybody who resisted his rule. Eventually his men would come to call him Tsukuyomi (Lit. Moon God) due to his infamous use of night raids. On the eastern side of the island a woman named Izumi Ryo would unite her tribes through her charisma alone. A natural born leader Izumi Ryo would be given the title of emperor and eventually go by Amaterasu (Lit. Sun God) due to what many people called her natural radiance. From 437RH to 452RH every clan would find themselves under the leadership of either the Shogun or the Empress. All signs had led people to believe that The Tsukuyomi Clan and the Amaterasu clan would clash at the border for full control of the island. But in a strange twist Izumi and Tsueno would meet for the first and fall in love with each other. They would get married and unite the country under one banner. The Nisshoku Government would be formed with the Empress handling social services and diplomatic affairs while the Shogun would spend his time maintaining the military and handling the countries budget. Eventually they would birth children who would fill their roles. In modern time Kori is still ruled by a Empress and a Shogun who are both descendants of Izumi and Tsueno.
Geography
Kori features rolling hills and low flatland that tend to flood in the spring when the frost thaws. Kyoten, the capital of Kori, is located at the foot of the Mount Kaminoyama where they believe Tento resides and watches over them.
Politics
Currently the country is ruled by Shogun Muto Tatsuo and Empress Sawa Ko. Currently the two are fighting over the issue of military intervention in Ilyran Thalas, Shogun Tatsuo believes that if The Raven Order is not stopped they will continue to invade even more lands. Empress Ko believes that to break Kori's long standing tradition of not involving themselves in world affairs they will open the door for disaster.
Economy
Kori is mostly independent, most foreign merchants who travel to Kori find themselves largely ignored by the locals. As a result Kori artifacts, art pieces and literature are pricey items on the world market. Of the few Kori traders who deal with outsiders most cant keep enough items in stock to meet the demand of foreign traders.
Demographic And Culture
Kori tends to shun outsiders and as such very few people elect to immigrate to the country. A few native beast tribes have founded small settlements but tend to stick to themselves.
Religion
God of speed and lighting in Kori. Most people in Kori pray to Tento for protection and bountiful harvests. Some Kori families believe that Tento was the one to choose the first Empress and Shogun and guide them into uniting the country. Tento is usually associated with speedy War and Diplomacy. Usually depicted holding an olive branch in his left hand and a sword in his right.
