The nation of Kotaka (Japanese for Falcon) is a tiny nation in Taijitu. It is based off Japanese otaku culture and it is growwing rapidly.
Histroy
Historically, Kotaka was founded by Princess Nausicaae. At first, the nation was still competing with another group of humans, who used Crysalis symbiotes to survive the toxic jungle. But peace was soon made and the Crysalis-bearers were incorporated into the population of Kotaka.
Under the rule of Nausicaae, Kotaka was able to refertilize many of the abandoned areas. She lived for a very long time and died at the age of almost 120.
Culture
Kotaka is based hevily on japanese culture. It is a colorful country that is tolerant towards foreign culture. Just like Japan, Kotaka is in love with all kinds of technilogical achievements. From a very young age onwards, the children of Kotaka learn to fly with personal gliders, called "Mehve".
Before thhe government of Kotaka became a consitutional monarchy, it became a tradition of the various royalties of the nation to build public bathing houses all over the cuntry to buy the approval of the people. Therefore, visiting such a public bathing house remained a popular free time activity to Kotakians after the change of government, and both young and old enjoy a visit in these facilities, which is especially relaxing in the cold winter time, when you can take a hot bath outside, surrounded by heaps of snow.

There are three diferent speicies living in Kotaka: Humans, Aquatic Elves and Winged Elves. Huamns live in most of the nation except for the rough mountin areas in the west of the nation, were only few human settlers decided to nuilt their towns. Aquatic Elves, which are also called Merfolk, are elves that live under the blue seas surrounding Kotaka. They can breath water just as easy as any seaborn speicies and live in freindship with Kotakan humans. They can have skin colors ranging from normal human colors to blue and green and their hair is often dark green. They have gills and can surivive outside the water for a very limited time only without aid, because they cannot breathe air. Winged Elves, or Faeri, or Birdfolk, are a third species. They live in the mountainous regions, that are hard to travel. Winged Elves are a species of winged humanoids, that can fly and thus travel with ease to any location in Kotaka. The Birdfolk gave Kotaku its name, because when the first human settlers set foot on the nation, they saw in the sky several Winged Elves, and, seeing them against the sunlight, mistook them for very large falcons. Since another hundred years passed before the Winged Elves revaeled themselvs to the humans, the nation was called Kotaka, which means Falcon. Today, the species are not so seperated anymore, and members of any species can be found anywere in Kotaka.

Geography & Nature
Mont Amalyia
Earthqakes and storms are a big threat to the Kotakan cities in the mountains. While hefty storms force the population to retreat into underground shelters inside the mountain ranges, earthquakes put a risk to the massive mountain compounds themselves.
