History:
Nihon descended into chaos for one hundred years due to the royal line dying out suddenly and violently. This was during the war with the Wyvernsbane clan that rule Sihai. Years later through a series of adventure Akatsuki claimed the throne. She then set about bringing the country back to prosperity.

This is a monarchy even though Akatsuki maintains a council so that she is always aware of what happens. As a druid she has more avenues of information than most rulers.
Places of Interest:
Taiyou Sentou is the capitol of Nihon. The beautiful white stone is set with various crystals to cause the very streets to glisten. It abounds with rainbows and is viewed by many as a work of wonder. The westerners call it the City of Rainbows due to the multitude of rainbows above it that gleam even during rain to the astonishment of visitors.
Culture:
Nihon has traditions that date back to before Akatsuki took the throne. Many of them she left in place even as she removed others. Of the ones she left only a few are so notable as to attract outside attention. She left the ancient Geisha traditions alone. These women she views with deep respect and ensures they continue their traditions. She also pays visits to watch performances.
Another honored tradition is the tea ceremony. She also ensures all of her children know how to do a proper Nihon Tea Ceremony. The kimono is still worn in the country and will probably always be worn. Though if some choose to eschew it in favor of more practical garb it is not frowned upon unless in a formal setting.
There are many rumors about the queen being immortal. All know she is highly unusual, but none known the truth of her heritage. At times she looks like she could be a creature of the celestial realms, but when her temper is seen she looks like a being of the fiendish realms. While being led by her for the past 200 years the country has never been conquered.
