Name: Le Pays du Soleil (Pasol), 日の国 (Hi no Koku), 火の国 (Hi no Koku), Union de Kiserre

History: The annals of Le Pays du Soleil's history are filled with accounts of warfare between two peoples, the Otama of the central island of Kiserre (which is also used as a name for the current régime), and the Furansi of the western isles. Roughly 1700 years prior to the current date, the Otama were a great civilisation spanning the island Kiserre from the open plains in the east, to the high mountains in the west. The capital, Hitoshi was the magnificent and beautiful city of on a small island at the junction of Kiserre and two other islands. The Otama eventually began to send armies across the straits to the west, seeking to conquer the 'barbaric' Furansi. When the first assault failed, the Otama tried again several years later. And again, again, and again. It soon reached the point where the Furansi formed a massive army equipped with captured Otaman weapons and retaliated, sweeping across Kiserre destroying nearly everything in their path. They drove the Otama off Kiserre to the islands in the east, and eventually conquered the Otaman capital of Hitoshi. The Furansi were quick learners, turning the left behind Otaman technology to accomplish their own needs, though they were unable to return the land to its former glory. Off in the east, the Otaman remnant grew, and maybe 300 years later decided to retake their home. They succeeded, and sparked a lengthy series of wars between the two sides over the island of Kiserre. This carried on for almost a thousand years, with technology advanced by the need for new weapons and to sustain a growing population in the home regions. Roughly centuries before the present date, the two sides eventually signed a peace treaty, dividing Kiserre into 'north' and 'south' zones, with the north for the Otamans and the south for the Furansi. As the societies began to mingle, they discovered that they as the nations developed, they had much more in common than they had assumed. The newfound similarities helped bring the nations together, easing the ages-old animosity. At one-hundred and twenty-eight years before the present date, a plan for a unified nation was proposed and accepted, creating Le Pays du Soleil.

Cultural traits: The two different races of Pasol are the Furansi and the Otamans, though in recent years both have been reffered to as the Kiserrais, after the island both civilisations fought for and now coexist on. The government, commony called the Union, follows a parliamentary system, with the Senate (le Sénat) as the legislature and the Consul and his council of ministers (Conseil des Ministres) as the law-making executive. In the past, the architecture of Kiserre was characterised by sprawling single-floor complexes made entirely of wood. As time passed, fire safety and population issues became more prevalent, resulting in two or three story buildings with concrete-steel foundation and supports, though the buildings still appear to be constructed entirely of wood. The interior is open, with spaces to place modular wooden walls. Exterior walls are usually made of wood, but fiberglass is becoming more common due to its resistance to fire. The religion of the Sol is the worship of nature and various spirits. Shrines can be found all over the islands dedicated to a vast array of deities. Section to be expanded.
