Gensou Island

Gensou Island is a very mysterious island at the very north of the Asiapelago. It is small for it's geographic size, but it is bigger than it looks, holding over two million population in total. It is known for holding an extremely mysterious species, very related to penguins; Youkai. If any country were to fight Gensou, they would lose because Gensou is full of powerful female penguins.

History
Gensou Island has a long history line. The old gap youkai explained The forming of Gensou Island, but the rest was explained by Kyuu Holden.

The forming of Gensou Island
Unknown, 127

Over a thousand years ago, only youkai lived on the island. As it was conjoined to Japaland back then, a group of penguins wanted to prove their strength so they can be honoured by their emperor. The group travelled to the island. A whole colony followed these penguins and the youkai got angered by this. The old gap youkai separated Gensou from Japaland and formed Gensou Island. It was placed very south, away from Japaland, which explains why there are four seasons. Nowadays, penguins live with these youkai in near-harmony.

Beginning of International Trade
April 3, 1487

Gensou Island, though only in contact with Japaland for so long, was shocked at the appearance of strange looking ships that appeared at the shoreline of the island one day. The ships turned out to be Lisboaguese merchant Galleons that were carrying the famous explorer, Quim da Algarve. Quim's fleet of merchant ships decided to sail into The Other River to the outskirts of Penguin Village, where they made contact with the natives. Quim met with the Island's ruler and established official foreign relations between the then Japalandese controlled island of Gensou. Quim stayed on the island for about a week, while several of the merchant ships began to circle the island so the cartographers could make an accurate map of the island. The Lisboaguese traders managed to trade their compasses, telescopes, and gold jewelry in exchange for Gensou Island silk, tea, and jade statues. A few months after Quim's departure, several more Lisboaguese ships had arrived to trade. A year later, the Zhouese and the Castillans decided to also become involved in trade with the island as well. He was lucky that he didn't get eaten by one of the Youkai.

The Red-Mist Incident
13th, July, 2003

A mysterious mansion called The Scarlet Demon Mansion appeared out of the blue and red mist covered the sun and moon so the mistress of the mansion, Remi Scarlet, could go outside whenever she wanted. A shrine maiden called Raymoo and a magician called Marysaa investigate what happened. They encounter a youkai and a fairy, but they have nothing to do with the story, just like every other Stage 1 and Stage 2 boss.

The Over-growing Flower Incident
28th, October, 2005.

Some humans and some youkai flew through places in Gensou Island to see why there were so many flowers and fairies everywhere. Most of the plants grew out-of-season, as they were not supposed to grow in spring. The investigators battled each other for evidence. They were too busy checking the large amount of flowers and fairies that they didn't notice the large amount of ghosts in Gensou Island. The tengu, Aya, was a photographer and news reporter, so she already knew most of this investigation. It seemed to be the lazy Shinigami, Kamochi's fault for this cause. There seemed to be either a natural disaster, or a war, that caused the appearing of ghosts and because of her, they are everywhere. Her boss, Shiki ,goes to scold her. Because of Shiki, Gensou Island almost turned back to normal. The flowers that grew out-of-season kept being out-of-season. She gave everyone a serious lecture to everyone, one on one after the events.

Chiruno goes to a different location, which is Arisu's house, the location of A giant. Chiruno tells Arisu that she was looking for the Daidarabocchi, a giant youkai. Arisu thinks that what Chiruno said was nonsense, and told her that the giant was a doll that she was making, the Goliath Doll. It wasn't done yet, but she needed someone to test it. Chiruno assists in this, but the doll gets destroyed, resulting in Arisu hitting the ice fairy with a huge, inedible melon-pop. China, at the same time as before, was guarding the Scarlet Demon Mansion, and expected the evil assassins to come and kill her. She stops them, but she also expected the evil that was controlling them; Namazu. He was taking on the form of a giant catfish. She simply ate him for dinner. All of China's story seemed to be a dream all along, although Saynaee's and Chiruno's stories were real

Geography
Gensou Island is a very small island, but when entering the island, it looks extremely huge. It is not because of servers, but by manipulating time and space, according to Inusakuya. Gensou Islands has very few river systems, the longest is the Red River. It reaches from the left of the island to the right of the island to Higan.

Inhabitants
There are A LOT of residents in Gensou Island.

International Relations
Gensou's relations had not made any contact with any country other than Japan prior to 1487.

Gensou's relations with other nations:


 * Japaland - Horrible. Since separating from Japaland, Gensou Island never wants to be involved with them again, unless it involves Anime. Several Anime Penguins from Japaland really want to live on Gensou, though.
 * In fact, there are so many anime penguins who want to live there that they make merchandise, anime and they also cosplay as them.


 * United States of Antarctica - Unknown. USA has heard of this island and they want to conquer it. Too bad they don't know about Old Hag Yukarin.


 * Snowzerland - Bad. Snowzerland knows about Xgopen, whom is living on Gensou currently. They plan to capture him and become a reliable source for nuclear weapons.


 * Ruscoe Federation - Bad. Rusca also wants Xgopen.


 * Amataria - Decent. After the events of Break In Dimensions, Amigopen found out the similarities of the universe and the island, so he worships them now.


 * Malesia -


 * Margate - Decent They are good trading partners


 * UnitedTerra -


 * Puffle'and - Good. Puffle'and was the first nation to recognize Gensou Island's independence from Japaland. They are actively involved in trade.


 * Calada -


 * Castilla - Decent. Castilla and Gensou Island are trading partners and several Castillan merchants visit it occasionally.


 * Zhou - Good. They are allies since they both hate Japaland. Like the Castillans, the Zhouese send merchants to trade with the Gensou Islanders. One of the youkai, China, originally came from Zhou.


 * Lisboagal - Decent. Lisboagal was one of the first nations to trade with the island in 1487. They have been trading with them ever since, especially so they could rival with the Castillan merchants.


 * Batavia -


 * Frankterre -


 * Polaris SAD -

Cuisine
The Gensou cuisine sometimes varies in different regions; it mainly consists of the traditional Japalandese food. A yakitori (Grilled Sparrow) stand sells yakitori in the Bamboo Forest.

Clothes
97% of females wear skirts and dresses while 87% of males wear kimonos.

Architecture
The architecture of Gensou is based on feudal Japaland. The SDM is one of the exceptions as it has a Frankterrean style to the outside and inside. Some houses are also very Ninja Archipelago-styled.

Technology
The technology is very outdated, compared to other countries, but several traders from different countries sell their wares in the Penguin Village Market making Gensou slightly ahead of the original technology. ZUN makes games for the island, called the Toho Improvement.

Citizens
For a very awkward reason, the production rate of every species is very less, but every egg has a 98% chance of being female. No one knows why, but it just happens. Most species, including penguins, have a unique special ability. Some are useful in combat and some are useful on the job.

Media
A newspaper run by Aya called Bunbunma is read by pretty much every citizen of Gensou, even the wild ones. Gensou citizens have recently bought televisions and computers for their modern entertainment.
