>>32120616Here's stuff from my own notes, mostly outdated, but use the bits that work at your own discretion:
Alright, let me compile what I have so far for /kr/ (indie/corpo):
>Using the Polish-Commonwealth as a base, the land is a loose confederation with nobles ruling regionally, all with different ideas of how to run the country>Each region is representative of different philosophies surrounding vtubing. These can be presented as different interpretations on the same religion, kind of like the Protestant-Catholic divide. The border region towards NijiKR represents the JP-styled vtubing, and the region towards /vnug/ represent KR vtubers that mostly speak English (i.e. Tonya, Miori, etc.). While the center represents the local KR scene, where things can differ very drastically even between smaller regions. As the KR vtuber scene is still growing this region is always in flux and quite unstable.>The geography of the region is flatland. And the area is incredibly rich in minerals. Because of this the Isegye region (since they have big numbers) are incredibly affluent economically but try to stay neutral (representing the fact that they're not talked about a lot in the thread.)>does that imply the presence of an elective monarchy?Yes. However, the aristocracy holds a lot of sway over the decisions of the crown. Functionally the King has greater power, as written in law. However, this is only a written rule, and it would be frowned upon if the King actually acted in this manner.
I feel this best represents the fractured nature of the KR vtubing scene as it is now, with various separate groups all with very different ideas on what vtubing should be represented, yet disorganized.
>Is there freedom of religion inside of the indie-corpo regionTheoretically yes. Additionally, most regions of the /kr/ have the same religion, however, interpretations of each vary significantly, (this part is much closer to how Confucian doctrine was argued over rather than Christianity, but still a mix of both), religious freedom does exist however, and regions like Isegye (who irl have very little connection to the rest of the KR vtubing scene) have a completely different religion than the rest of /kr/.
The faction split as of now will be:
>The StreamersBased off the irl "Virtual Streamer Gallery" on the KR internet, who like JP styled vtubing as they are a splinter from NijiKR fans. In the world, they are culturally similar to /nijikr/. They also represent former NijiKR vtubers that have reincarnated after graduation as indies.
>The HakkosNamed after another irl KR vtuber community ("Small Korean Vtubers Gallery", basically Korea's version of /wvt/). They are different from the Streamers and they have a particularly antagonistic relationship with them.
>Isegye RegionRepresenting Isegye Idol. Their high numbers irl translate into lots of mineral wealth, making them quite an influential region. They have very little cultural similarity with the surrounding regions however.
>/vnug/ Border Territories (need a better name for this)Representing the Korean vtubers that mostly use English, ruled over by Shabel Tonya, (by technicality also includes Miori, since she also falls into that category). They are the most neutral faction, but they have little connection with other regions.
Additionally, in terms of writing philosophy, my approach to writing the region will be trying to canonize as much of the real life history of KR vtubing and related history going back from 2017 to now as part of the lore/folklore of the region. This will include:
>The KR pngtuber cartel>SE:A and Choy, early forays into vtubing during the Kizuna Ai/Kaguya Luna "Heavenly Kings" era of vtubing.>Decay of the pngtubers>Brief history of NijiKR rise>The rise of various smaller indies (especially Maoruya)>Fall of NijiKR including the Ara incident>Schism between KR and JP styled vtubing...and various other irl history will be re-formatted and stylized as part of the /kr/ lore.
