Yaponesia

The Yaponesian Archipelago
Yaponesia is a nation located on the far eastern side of the Eastern mini-continent. It goes by the formal name of 'The Yaponesian Archipelago'.

Geography
The capital city of Yaponesia is Solaare. The country shares borders with Comino and Calypso to the west, and a sea border with Lolee and Halito to the south via the 'Archipelago Islands'. Much of the northern regions of the country are mountainous, with some volcanoes towards the eastern coast.

History
The territory was first populated by the native 'Yaponjin' tribes in the south and the 'Orientals' in the east. However, the nation of Yaponesia was soon founded by travelling Xorientians from the north, and the country underwent a technological revolution, becoming the prosperous and popular nation it is today. The archaic Yaponesian language is still mainly spoken, however, and remains one of the most complicated languages across the continents.

Politics
Yaponesia's head of state is the Emperor. However, the Yaponesian Emperor's power has been somewhat diminished in recent years, and Yaponesia currently considers itself a democracy in its truest sense. It is unclear, however, whether this current government is actually successful or not.

Nation Song Contest
Yaponesia has participated 8 times in the Nation Song Contest, debuting in NSC6. However, they are not a particularly successful nation, with only one Top 10 placing in their entire history of the contest.

Nation Song Contest Spinoffs
Yaponesia is a keen participant in the spinoffs of the Nation Song Contest, although they have never participated in the NSC: National Finals editions, and they only take part in alternate NSC: Eurovision editions.
