Founding

Kanami is a nation founded upon principals of philosophy, theology, and democracy. A group of various people from countries of the Pacific banded together, with one thing in common. They hated their Governments. Some came from countries with no morals, no principals, others from tyrannical dictatorships, and places of complete anarchy. Many were in search for a better place, a place of refuge, or fresh and fertile farmland. Under the leadership of a young, but strong and feisty swords girl, name Yasashii Himura Her name ironically meaning, gentle,

Yasashii was orphaned at age five and was taken in by a master swordsman. From him she learned not only the ways of the sword, but of religion, philosophy, and politics. She came to value the importance of democracy, and what it stands for in the world. Since then she has lived her life trying to improve the world around her. She began to teach others the things she was taught, but the local government disapproved of this. Since then she was threatened and eventually ambushed, beaten and left for dead. She was nursed back to health by a sympathetic group, who felt the same way as she did, and admired her for her courage to do what was right, even after the government ambushed her. They were also amazed at her vast knowledge for such a young age of only 16. They voted unanimously to make her leader of the group. Yasashii, reluctently took the position, with great humility and humbleness.

When word got out that this new underground committee was teaching non government-approved material, they attempted to put a stop to them once and for all. Fearing for the lives of her fellow members, Yasashii ordered a mass evacuation of everyone and anyone apart of the committee, and who wanted to escape tyranny. "It's time to throw off the shackles of oppression. And from our own colony. Run by the people for the people and with the people."-Yasashii Himura Diary Entry. Yasashii stated that to all the people she knew, and to many on the street, much to great risk. The people selflessly left everything behind, to form a colony in the name of principals. Thousands boarded a ship called the S.S. Oka or Cherry Blossom. The journey was long and rough. The Pacific wasn't so pacifistic as it's name so deceivingly meant. Storms battered the ship often, and supplies ran short. "The weather shows no signs of ever changing and we are expending our supplies so sooner than expected, because the weather keeps slowing us down. I pray for land fall soon, even if it is already inhabited. Anything to at least restock out much needed food and water." Journal Entry-Two Weeks At Sea.

However no nation wanted a band of rebels, and few were ever willing to supply the ship. Many navy ships chased them away. Three weeks and six day's into the Journey a brutal storm struck. The ship was tossed around for hours, and many areas of the ship flooded, even Yasashii's own cabin flooded. By morning the storm had finally cleared, and in the distance there was a great mass of land, completely unoccupied. Yasashii was first off the ship and declared: "May this land that we settle upon, be known as Kanami, (Meaning Our Port in the Storm) "For the long journey we struggled and tossed and turned on the stormy seas, of life and nature. Here we can form our new Republic."

The first animal spotted on the mainland was a hawk, and t was also found that Hawks inhabited the land. Amazingly, Kanami was also rich in natural resources, the Kanamians were well educated freely, and were told how to use the resources properly. "I fell truly blessed by God to have landed on a place so large, and so rich in natural resources. It is amazing that no other nation in the world has ever found this place, and settled it. Just a mass of land, nothing but wild animals vast forests, rich soil, and good solid foundations. The seas around it were treacherous sure, but still, I'm baffled by it. But still, writing by moonlight of my hopes for the future of this Republic, is a most wonderful feeling." Diary Entry-Fist Night. Carefully Yasashii helped form a constitution, and Government.

The Republic continued to live in peace for many years. But the peace would soon come to an end. Other nations began to look upon the tiny republic with envious eyes. Its rich natural resource bank drew the interest of Capitalists, power hungry dictators, kings, queens, emperors, and empresses sought to annex the nation for its own outpost to add to it's roster of control. Eventually one nation marched in. The still fragile Republic, took up arms and fought, including Yasashii. She fought only with her sword, and wisdom. Hopelessly out numbered, Kanami's Parliament and ideals seemed doomed. Non the less they all fought bravely, and miraculously the enemy was defeated, and driven out. Kanami fearing further invasions, declared it's self independent, and granted the Parliament Democratic powers. Yasashii was the nations first and youngest Prime Minister. She declared: "And this our motto shall be, Unity, Justice, Freedom, Peace for All People." Which has since become a controversial statement amongst the people of the nation and of the world. Some wonder what she actually meant. It was read in her diary, that she meant it literally. "I have chosen our motto, unity, justice, peace, freedom for all people. And it is my wish that my fellow citizens will uphold this. Not just for themselves, but for all the world as well. City and country folk alike should band together to uphold the inalienable rights of others. I hope the world shall improve over time, untill then may Kanami remain free from the scourges of corruption, and may it remain a free republic based on morals and principals of the people. While in a democracy not everyone gets their way, all the time. Everyone should get there way, at least once. God Bless us all. "

Kanami would come dangerously close to corruption. While Yasashii was away, to help others who sought the nation, the Parliament fell into corruption. The Vice Prime Minister was granted emergency powers, in the event Yasashii would die on the journey. He seized control of the National Economy, the militia, the navy, and the Parliament. He conspired with several big business of the region, along with the Pacific Communist Party, to turn the resourcefully rich nation, into a Communist-Capitalist Nation, solely of the benefit to the party, and the party's many corporate sponsors. Yasashii got wind of this news and hurried back into Kanami, to confront V.P. Yukito Mako. The two engaged in a now infamous duel known as Himura v. Mako. Yasashii with her superbious sword techniques killed Yukito and restored democratic order to the parliament, and regained control over the Armed Forces. She also enacted a checks and balance system, to assure no party would gain too much power. She also enacted a secret society known as The Order of the Hawk. A special elite group of hand picked people to assure Governmental order and stability. As to who is a member is strictly clacified; not even the Prime Minister or the Cabinet knows. It's has long become the stuff of legend and many wonder if it even exists.

Yasashii would die 16 years later, at age 32, from Shinjiku Syndrome. She was burried with the highest of honors. The people of the nation are forever grateful to Yasashii Himura, and to the others who gave everything for Kanami, and the people.

Government Setup

Kanami is a representative/direct Democracy. All issues are brought before the governmet, either by legislation, or by petioners (citzens usually) The Prime Minister runs the Executive Branch, which is the Parliament. The Judical Branch interperts the laws, and the Executive puts them into affect. The Legislative Branch is made up of both Parliameant Members who represent the people and even the people themselves, However the only ordinary citizens that can ever speak before the parliament are usually those who live in the Capital City. But it is open Forum to anyone of the nation. International Affairs are given to the Executive. However, if any other branches desire they can reject, any policy.

A Secret Society exists within the Governmen known as "The Order of the Hawk." The Order is there to make sure no Governmental branch or represneative, becomes too powerful and corrupted. Worst comes to worse they can overthrow a corrupted Government, and restart. The members are hand picked by the retiring member, or the group its self. Back after Kanami fell into Dictator ship, Yasashii Himura hand picked them her self. The speaker of the Parliament is the head of the dominating party in the Parliament. Nancy Novoty is the current speaker of Parliament, and she is adressed as Madam Speaker or Party Head. There is only one House of Parliament, and Parliamentry legilsators are called senators

This was the first Coat of Arms. Adopted by the country in 1883

This is a similar match today

The only differences are: A hawk in the middle as opposed to the egal, no stars and stripes, just a blue flag for peace time, read for times of war. Also during war time, the head is flipped to face the arrows, it times of peace, it faces the olive branches

Executive Branch

This is the branch of the Prime Minister, and her cabinate. This also includes the governing powers of the nation, as well as Ministries:

• The Ministry of Defense-Handles all defense measures to the nation. Including DEFCON status, and international threat status. This Ministry controlls the armed services along with the Prime Minister for all Foreign Missions.

Defcons are phased increases in combat readiness. Expanded explanations follow below.

DEFCON 1: Maximum force readiness.

DEFCON 2: Increased force readiness (less than maximum).

DEFCON 3: Increased force readiness.

DEFCON 4: Peacetime; Increased intelligence; Strengthened security measures.

DEFCON 5: Peacetime.

• Ministry of Foreign Affairs-This handles all diplomatic relations with the international community. Trade, declarations of war, political crises are monotired here, as well as the Defense Ministry, should they become hostile.

• Ministry of the Interior-Handles all domestic affairs, several subdepartments exist within this, including: Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, Education, Transportation, Energy, Labor, Housing, and Health. Treasurey is also handled by the Minister of this ministry, along with the Foreign Affairs Minister, and Prime Minister. Each subdepartment has it's own advisor, but all answer to the Minister of this Department.

• Ministry of Home Land Security-Handles Domestic Security, as well as border. Assests threats from foreing bodies, and handles the Terror Alert Scale

Red	Severe Condition
Orange	High Condition
Yellow	Elevated Condition
Blue	Guarded Condition
Green	Low Condition

This alert scale is used to tell the public of the risk of Terrorist Threats, and or foreing attack threats. Homeland Security also oversees natural disasters, and deployments of the National Guard to anywhere in the country.

• The Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister do not have a separate category. Rather they are put together as the cabinate overseers. The Prime Minister usually selects his her Vice Prime Minister either after the election or as a running mate.

• The Attorney General while isn't classified as an Executive Power, it is in charge of the judicial branch, and all justice affairs, foreign or domestic.

Judicial Branch

The Judicial Branch oversees the court system of Kanami. Through court cases they explain the meaning of the constitution and laws passed by the Parliament.

The Supreme Court is highest court in the land, and can not be overruled by anyone. This court rules whether something is unconstitutional or not, and/or is permitted by the constitution. There are nine justices, eight are associates, and one is Chief Justice. The judges are nominated by the Prime Minister, and approved by the Parliament.

Legislative Branch

The Legislative Branch is the made up of the Parliament members, comprised of 268 members. Parliament members are elected to a three-year term. The Prime Minister and Vice Prime Minister are considered head of the Branch, but do not vote, unless there is a tie.

Each branch checks and balances the other. To become a law, a bill is introduced, then a committee hearing is held, followed by a debate. If passed, it will go on to further review. The amendmates can be made, then a second debate, follow by a vote. If passed it will go to the Prime Minister, where she can chose to sign it or veto it. A veto can be overturned by a 2/3 vote in the Parliament. The Prime Minister can make changes to his/her desire, but the Suprem Court and Parliament must review the changes made, and vote to accept the Executive AmendmentsA bill when passed will become law as of January 1st of the next year.

Social Aspect

Kanami is a diverse wonderful place. Rich in natural resources it has a really good economy, and supply. Many people towards the Capital speak all English or are bilingual in English and Japanese. Further out west in more rural areas people speak Japanese or Jasoen. The Language of Kanamian is a older language back in it's early days. Deriving of English Japanese and Jasoen, it usually only applies to people who are trilingual or are interpreters.

Religion is big. Kanami isn't an extremely secular nation, although Church and State are respectfully separate. There are many churches, for Christian and Non Christian Religions. (e.x. Scientology) The major religion is a cross of Christianity and Shintaoism, as Yasashii was a devout Christao, many followed her in her practice. It takes a combination of old religious believes new age believes, and gives it a different light on it. Students may attend Seminary during before or after school hours. In a off campus building, with no school credit given.

Public Schools are all intergrated of males females, and diffrent races. Many subjects provide for not only challenging academics but fun and interesting extra activities such as art, music, Model Parliament, Model United Nations, (in a different aspect than the existing NSUN) and a soon to be Model League of Nations. Various subjects are taught for all career fields. From Computer Sciences to Homemaking, to Farming and Fishing. And Arts such as cinema, Painting, crafting. School kids usually wear uniforms. This usually leads to higher grades and fewer clothing distractions. Student's seldom mind the uniforms, and some schools grant a Uniform Free Day when Student's can show up in casual clothes.

</div>

Even speical activities like archery, and music are offerd for students. Many schools are well known for drumlines or percussion ensembles.

People enjoy going to concerts, movies (see entertainment) themeparks, or just spending time with the family. Kanami encourages strong family relationships. The only nation with more on it is Kurona

Many people are book writers or publishers; with the limits placed on capitalism. Others chose the profession so they can be with their family more. Particullarly women, who chose to stay home.

(ABOVE: A Girl From the High Mountains Enjoys the Cold Snowy Weather BELLOW: While this girl enjoys the warm sunshine in the southwest)

Major Cities

Carmina Gadalica the Capital is the largest city in Kanami. It also holds 1/3 of the nations population. Starlight City home to Kanami's NASA Space center ranks in second place. Other cities such as the port city of Kyohami, the in land city of Serenity are on the top ranks.

Terrain

Kanami is an Island. It's a rather large island, but it has no land connections. The terrain up north is mountainess and rough. More south it's smoother and flat. Some areas are so flat they are flatter than pancakes. Farms ranches rural comunities, are more inland and more west of Carmina in the East. There is however sacarecely no road that will lead you where you need to go.

Transportation

People will get around in any way they can. Be it car, boat, train, bike. All of which are popular. People often cruise on the rural highways, but the intercities it's slower, and a little more time.

Natural Disasters

Disasters affect Kanami all year round. Hurricanes are common in coastal areas, earthquakes in more mountainas regions, tornadoes and fires in the plains area. High peaks receive heavy snow fall in the winters. Floods happen often during heavy rains.

Healthcare

Kanami has several health codes for schools, business, hospitals, and Government establishments. Health care is affordable and generally given to everybody, with special attention is given to those in poverty, or the working class families. Even thoes with out Health Care plans, or Medical Insurance, can't be turned away from hospitals if they are need of treatment. Any hospital or doctor that does can be severly punished and risk losing their practice.

Although smoking and alcohol and drugs are banned there is becoming a wide problem with STDs. Sex awareness is being spread more thickly, but not quite enough. Some blame the "Abstinence Only" policy that schools teach. Others feel it's because of the lax concern to nude art.

Entertainment

Film and T.V.

Of course TV and Movies are popular. Generally entertainment goes uncensored. Usually because most get a Certification from the Kanami Board of Entertainment Classification and Ratings, (KBECR) which emphasizes that these are guidelines for parents, not Government. Certification is optional though, and a good deal of independent films go with out an official rating. Several Guilds make up the Movies System. Including the Academy of Arts, which gives out the ultimate award annually for outstanding motion pictures, videogames, and T.V. Movie theaters are spread all around the country, and the A.A. is working to ensure even the smallest of towns get a good quality theater. With the A.A.'s efforts, thousands around the country enjoy the magic of the movies.

With T.V. many visitors always find something worthwhile to watch. There is a great variety of programing from stuff for the young kids to the adult programming. Many religions offer televised services and programming for good "Wholsome" entertainment. It's been polled that one of the largest viewings of religious programings is for Semi-Annual LDS General Confrence, ranking in with 46%. In second comes Christian Stories heartwarming tales of people trying their hardest to resit temptation and deal with life's troubles.

Videogames

Video Games are very popular too. Tournaments are held all around the country, and great prizes are given out. Like film the Games have a ratings board too, however there are stricter standards when it comes to games from other nations, as opposed to films. Who says arcades are thing of the past? In Kanami large arcades are filled with games from old-new school.

Music Entertainment

Other popular things to do are going to concerts. Orchestras are big, as well as jazz bands, and all brass/wind bands. Opera is not an extremely popular, but it draws it's fair share of crowds. Stage Plays are also a big part of night life, with fun and bouncy stage musicals, to ethnic dances such as Japanses Kabuki.

Books

Comic Books are big. Kanami is one of the largets comic retailers in the world, having 40% of all printed material being comics. They come in almost every genre from Action to Drama, and even some naughty adult books, which are restricted to licensed shops.

Although comic books are big, many still love a good old fassiond novel. Many large book stores contain everything and anything. Poltical, Religion, Fiction, Non-fiction, you name it.

Critics and Supporters

Several countries do not like Kanami because of Kanami's Democratic Policy. Some say the nation is a foolish idealistic colony that causes ruckus where ever it goes. Such incidents when a hostile and tentious cold war broke out between Kanami and Stevid. Stevid was expelling all people of Muslim faith, and Prime Minister Koolridge, saw this as as "A perversion of Government rule, and a violation against democracy." War nearly broke out, however it was ended with a Non-Aggression Pact. They failed to stop the expulsions, and change their minds. Many in the world saw this as an infrigement to sovereignty, and many feel Kanami will violate any nations freedom to get what they want. (See Stevid Cold War)

Many also do not like it's heavy anti-capitalist stance. Kanami tells it's not anti-capitalist, they just don't like what greedy corporations do to society.

Kanami has been striving to start a League of Nations, after withdrawing from the United Nations. Many also dismiss this as foolish idealism.

On the flip side, many think Kanami is a good nation. "Honerable and Just." Says the Queen of Aqua Anu. "Friendly it will reach to any nation in need." Princess Tomoyo of Kurona said. Even Stevid which is a bitter enemy give a nod to Kanami, though they may not like to admit it

Kanami also falls victem to anti-socialims amongst the world. People tend to ignore the fact it's a democratic nation, and belives it supports Marxist Socialism. However Kanami has very little basis in that. Because of it's desires for strong social justice buisness often gets attacked which may lead the world to think that way.

With it's tough stance on drugs, people think the nation is not so much a republic as it is a theocracy. Kanami is also known for giving Homosexuals adoption rights but at the same time hindiring them

Aqua Anu has proven to be a long and trustfull ally. Beliving and supporting Kanami in many things. In light of Hanover and The Hanover Conflict, Aqua Anu seems to be facing increased punishment and anger from Stevid for giving their opinons about it. Aqua Anu even stated Kanami is ten times the nation Stevid is, but no one really gave a care.

Sports

Any sport is popular in Kanami. Football, Soccer, Horseracing, Boat Racing, Base Ball and so on.

Although Sports players salaries are often subdued by the Government, and put into things such as education, and other works.

Oath of the Armed Services

I Private (name) do hereby solemnly swear, that I will uphold and defend ideas and belifes of the Republic of Kanami, against all enemies, foregin or domestic.

That I will sever my duty just and honerably,

That I will protect innocence from loss of life

That I will serve my commanding officers in just reasons.

And that I will protect my brothers in arms

Foreign Policy/Relations

Kanami always seeks countires with both ideals the same, and diffrent form theirs. The one thing their diverse population has taught them, is that people will have very diffrent views, and if you don't know their viewpoints, it's impossible to negotiate, or compromise. Kanami also seeks to be a freind to any nation that needs it, and be a democratic outpost

Building Embassies is one of these methods. They jump at various points to build embassies in nations in hopes of creating more and more relations in the world. And they hope they become out-posts of democracy, for fleeing refugees, seeking the nation.

Two of the closest allies are Kurona and Aqua Anu. While Aqua Anu tends to be a bit of a dictatorship at times, it has been a long time friend and ally. Yasashii Himura visited the Queen of Aqua Anu in 1809, and established friendship, through the Aqua-Oka Pact of 1809 However Kurona is a complex relationship. Kurona is a semi-PT nation, and a rather stricter and less democratic nation. In fact they've only been allies for about 16 years. And their relationship only furthered under the Koolridge Administration. Because of Kurona's domestic policy, many in every party have saught to break off relationships with the nation, stating: "It's no better than dealing with a genocidal dictatorship" In fact this was Sen. Polk's (D) plan if he we're to be elected. This caused a bit of fright with Princess Tomoyo, fearing her nation would lose the nation she trusted most, and the one that came to their rescue when they needed it. Of course Prime Minister Romeny had no intentions of doing such things providing she was elected. She believes the complex relationship helps Kanami in dealing with more oppressive states. And she says "Kurona isn't really very oppressive."

Kanami can become aggressive when it comes to Violations of Human Rights. (such as the Stevid Cold War) Recently a poltical cartoon was published showing a Genocidal Dictator, with one nation saying "We have to stop them." But three others stating "Why, they have SOVEREIGNTY?" The cartoon was to show how much the world stands up for the dictators, all in the name of that word. Soveringty has usually proven to be a frustrating word for the nation that swore to help others.

Kanami will only intervene military wise if it feels needed. But it's always willing to help in humanitarian aid. Such as the Kuronan Storm Crises. However when it does, it tries to cooperate with the centralized Government, providing it's not the Government that's the reason behind the chaos. Central government was the case with The Princstable War. Fortunatley Kanami saw fit to help Princstable, and have become close freinds.

When it comes to Alliances, Kanami is far more cautious than in the past. While it almost always joins an alliance that shares it's ideals. But following The Hanover Conflict, and the biased treaty with the GDI Alliance, it's become far more careful when chosing alliances. It maintains it's alliance with GASN and hopes it will not have to withdraw. It has long since been on an Anti-GDI campaing.

The Prime Minister and The Cabinate

The Prime Minister usually self chooses his/her own cabinate to serve. Occasionally they are voted into office.

Elenore Amy Romney, Prime Minister

(Republican Socialist Party)

Elenore is the second youngest woman Prime Minister ever in the history of the nation. And She is only the fifth in office. She was raised by her mother after the death of her father. Her family began to fall apart. Her sister was killed by a drunk driver who had been drinking bootleg liquor. She lost two of her brothers to drugs. After that she decided to make her mother proud and happy again. She studied very hard and skipped several grades.

Molly Katherin Anderson, Minister of Homeland Security

(RS party)

Molly served under Steven Koolridge as Homeland Security Minister. Molly originally enrolled at Freedom Military Academy after leaving University of Kyohomi. She was hopping to eventually become a Naval Commander, but was discovered by Steven Koolridge during a risky operation in a war game. Because Molly pulled it off splendidly, she was hired as the Domestic Security Advisor and eventually put as the Minister to Homeland Security. Her father was a Commander for the Special Forces years prior.

Alex Jacob Lang, Minister of Defense

(INDYParty)

Alex was a special ops Lt. In Delta Force, and he was later bumped to NSA advisor under the Koolridge Administration, and served on Centra-Spike, during the Kurona Submarine Crises. His intel lead to the arrest and trial of several Sub operators that launched the nuclear attack on Kurona, that killed over 15,000 Civilans. He is also a brilliant puzzler, he loved puzzles as a kid, no jigsaw puzzle was too much for him. This lead him into an interest in codes as a teenager, whic of course got him where he is today. It was ultimatley his Centa-Spike Intel that impressed Elenore the most.

Karou Airashii Kamiah, Minister of Foreign Affiars

(RS Party)

Grew up in a traditional family. Because of that she almost always wears a Kimono and ties her black hair back with a ribbon. Her family has been in the Government ever since the country was founded. While non of them have been Prime Ministers, one was a Minister of the Interior in 1889, another was an executive in Trade. Her parents were advisors to Prime Minister David Zarwick II. Elenore meet Karou as a young grad studnet, just earning her B.S. She was amazed about Karou's knowledge of other cultures, and her deep Christian Faith. When Elenore won the election, she asked Karou to serve as her Foreign Affairs Minister.

Emmy Jane Willent, Attorney General

(Democratic Party)

Emmaline Jane Willent as her full name would dictate, was actually an extremely poor girl. Her parents were too proud to accept welfare or charity, and this often made her go to bed very hungry. The fact she was poor and often hungry made it difficult for her to focus in school, causing her grades to slip. She began to steal, for money and food but one day she got caught in a grocery store. But instead of the store owner punishing her or telling her parents or the police he cut her a deal, she would work hard in school, and he would give her a breakfast lunch and dinner when she needed one. Emmy was rather grateful and kept her end of the bargin. She got interested in Law and Justice after a fieldtrip for history class to the Supreme Court. She took several law classes in high school and always excelled at mock trials. After graduation with a Bachelors in Law, Elenore Romeny gave her the position of Attorney General after reading her college paper on "Justice."

Akiko Reiko Mashimo, Vice Prime Minister

(RS Party)

Akiko was born at sea. It's true. Her parents we're on a fishing trip and during a storm she was born. Because of this some kids often teased her mercilessly, calling her a foreinger, and rumors began that she was also a Bastard Child. This was of course disproven, much to her relife. She struggled to make a name of her self, so she vowed one day she would go into polotics, and she did. At first she started out as a speech writer for the Prime Minister, having written several for Koolridge. Elenore discovered her after reading her speeches, and thought she would be a good partner. Elenore could care less if Akiko was dropped on the door step by aliens, she saw Akikio as a citizen like anyone else. Akiko has good ideas and is a very helpful person. She may become Prime Minister her self one day.

Jason Robert Izen Minister of the Interior
