Republic of Keijo | Freelancer ID/IFF - Republic of Keijo - 04-25-2022 REPUBLIC OF KEIJO 京城共和国 BACKGROUND
Kusari is a House of vast oceans and a myriad of islands. The land has always been scarce in this part of space. This scarcity bred brave explorers venturing into the unknown to find even a small strip of new land for the ever growing needs of the society. But there is a limit to all land resources of a planet and once all originally settled planets of New Tokyo, Kyushu, and Honshu were overpopulated the Kusarians remembered their old traditions of exploration and once more ventured into the dark void of space in search of rich lands to be settled. The second boom of Kusari exploration in late 700s and early 800s led to the discovery of Miyazaki and Tomioka in the “western” Kusari as well as Saigon and Saigon and Miura in the Sigmas. The former quickly became the destination of colonists from Kyushu and New Tokyo. Quite soon it became obvious that the support of Samura in the development of the system of Tottori was a red flag for the Blood Dragons who were causing headache to the local authorities and infringing the peaceful colonisation. In the Sigmas the situation was the opposite. The region is by no standards peaceful yet the sporadic patrols Outcasts and shady contraband convoys of the Corsairs are usually at each other’s throats and care little about the planets in the area. Miura was settled and claimed by the GMG while Saigon found itself at the crossroads of international disputes. The GMG openly claim all the Sigmas, Kusari recognised Sigma 21 (aka Shizuoka) as its protectorate space, and neighbouring Rheinland already proved in 825 A.S. that even a tiny spark in the region can be enough to cause a war. Now, in 828 A.S. the situation calmed down and explorers and colonists of Kusari started to look at Saigon again with reinvigorated interest. It is a habitable planet with mild climate and various climate zones capable of supporting agriculture and large human settlements. More importantly, unlike the core worlds of Kusari Saigon is a terrestrial world which can be valuable to balance the economies of the metropoly. For the prospected colonists Saigon was an eye candy and it was not a surprise that many Kusarians with an adventurous spirit organised themselves to move to Saigon which de jure is within the protectorate space of Kusari. The official New Tokyo did not officially sanction the colonisation but did not prevent it either, supporting its subjects when necessary. Kishiro from the neighbouring Honshu also could not stand aside and generously financed the endeavour, promising the keiretsu profits and influence in the future. As the population grew of the newly founded settlements on Saigon quickly grew, the locals decided to self-organise and establish their own administration for better coordination of the further development of the planet. Not having any old nobility with claims to the land, the colonists, many of which involved themselves with the republicans during the civil war, decided to opt for a republican way. Thus, the Republic of Keijo was established in 829 A.S., renaming the planet to Keijo and becoming the youngest state in Sirius. The most pressing matter was the security of the newly founded colony. With the tight socio-economic relations with Kusari in mind and the legal status of system of Sigma 21 the Republic of Keijo pleaded the Imperial Government of Kusari to grant the colony the status of a Protectorate. A protectorate would presume the sovereignty of the newly established state in domestic matters and defering the matters of exterior and defence to the Empire of Kusari. GOALS & OBJECTIVES
TECHNOLOGIES
The Kusarian origin of most the colonists is easily determined due to the vast usage of Kusari civilian technology and most specifically Kusari built transport vessels making up the majority of the small Republics merchant vessels. Being fully aware that self-defense is of utmost importance in the Sigma Cluster, the Republic also operates a heavily retrofitted Bustard-class Carrier usually serviced at Yukawa Shipyard in the Honshu system. While no traces lead back to Kishiro Technologies, the vessels origin mostly lies with the Keiretsu as well. DIPLOMACY
