I would like to share with you what I know about /shishilamy/ Republic.
>Former sovereign states of /poi/ and /lamy/ formed union in attempt to improve their positions on /vt/. Now it is ruled by a senate of representatives of the former states.
>Despite differences in cultures, there is no overall dominance of one over other, rather they are mixed together. This is evident by similarly mixed worship of Shishiro Botan (goddess of war, wisdom and laughter) and Yukihana Lamy (goddess of alcohol, snow and nobility).
>There are exceptions to culture mixing, with domination of /poi/ and /lamy/ in military and alcohol productions respectively. The reason for this is enormous focus on this aspects before the merge.
>Military to this day remains one of the key elements of the new state. First thing people imagine when they think about army is professional soldiers, with SSRB shock troops leading the charge with famous "La-Lion" warcry.
>What people don't realise, is the amount of work army does beyond wars. Most of infrastructure were and still is being built by the army - roads, bridges, ports, canals, etc. - you name it.
>It is hard to overstate importance of alcohol production (and consumption) for Yukimin. You can understand that just by looking at their traditions - rules of hospitality (where guests will choose the beverage that host will drink for the night, and will receive alcohol as a parting gift), ritual of coming of age (where child must make sake on his own and gift it to parents), and many others. Did you know, that before accepting coins alcohol was used instead?
>Not surprising, that with such tradition, alcohol produced by Yukimin is not mere product, but a work of art. You can find almost any drink here, but traditional sake is still holding the spot #1.
>This led to the development of related businessess, such as bars and restaurants.
>Foreign affairs is mostly friendly with other states, with notable mention of NePoLaBo alliance. It is not a rare sign to see a Husbands or Omaruza in /shishilamy/ territory, and vice versa. Recently there was unsuccessful attempt at unification of /nene/ and /shishilamy/.
>Attacks from schizos, antis or dramafags are rare and fast passing. More prominent threats lies within - yakuza gangs, controlling the underworld (there were rumors about high-ranking official with family ties to Yakuza organisations, but every person trying to investigate this disappeared), disguised /hag/ posters, always ready to strike, and last, but not least - the everpresent threat of /become/. For others /become/ is an external threat, but here Cult of Becoming is never too far.
Tried to base my idea on Rome after their Greek campaign, but later realised that roman culture was almost entirely replaced, so altered it to be mix of military nation with alcohol enthusiasts. Have no idea about the world, so tried to keep things vague about time period/magic/technology. Still not sure how to do this thing, but it could be changed if other people offer their ideas.
