The planet Kyushu was first surveyed in 65 A.S. by the Kusari explorer Isao Yoshida, and colonists from New Tokyo landed on the planet later the same year. Although Kyushu is severely lacking in any sizeable quantities of mineral resources, it does possess a perfect climate for rice farming and also has the largest land masses of any inhabited world in Kusari, all of which are eminently suited for agriculture. As such, although the planetary population has recently risen above 535 million as of 816 A.S., over three quarters of it is still employed in the various agricultural industries.
For several centuries, the independent farmers of Kyushu provided the vast majority of the food for planet New Tokyo, although with the invention of Synth Paste by the Liberty corporation, Synth Foods, the Shogunate has issued farming directives in an attempt to further develop the planet. This has resulted in Samura Industries assuming control of Kyushu in 674 A.S., and organising the farmers into workers collectives, growing new genetically engineered rice from its research laboratories the New Tokyo system.
Unfortunately for the farmers, Synth Paste has become increasingly popular amongst all the Kusari youth, especially due to its cheap cost and the ability to change the flavour to anything you desire. The demand for traditional rice products from Kyushu has dropped dramatically, prompting many of the farmers to take up arms, and as a result it is widely regarded as the birthplace of the radical isolationist movement known as the Farmers Alliance.
