Shimakawa

Shimakawa is an island country situated south of Akiteiwa, close to the continent of Kesh. The country has two official languages: Akiteiwan and Teuton; however, Akiteiwan is the dominant language on the island. The country’s capital and largest city, Nankōminato (Teuton: Ostentor), is located on the southern end of the island.

The country encompasses the northern branch of the Yuhai archipelago, also known as the Shimakawa archipelago, which consists of 12 islands spread over 500km. Shimakawa itself is 2,025km2 in area. Shimakawa Island, the most populated island in the chain, is 119.1km top to bottom and 35km at its widest. To its south is Iōjima, the second-most populated island. The island groups surrounding the two are the Schild (Shield), Kreuz (Cross), and Elisabeth Islands.

Shimakawa has more than 1.1 million permanent residents, along with many visitors and Akitei military personnel. The capital and largest city is Nankōminato on the island of Shimakawa. The country's ocean coastline is about n km (n miles) long.

Shimakawa's diverse natural scenery, warm tropical climate, abundance of public beaches, oceanic surroundings, and dormant and picturesque volcano make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists. Because of its location in the Jade Sea and 19th and 20th-century labour migration, Shimakawa's culture is strongly influenced by Artemian and East Keshitic cultures, the most prominent being Akitei.
