General cultural/political guide to Josai

(https://i.imgur.com/eCP0vYL.jpg)

Josai is a bustling and every busy metropolis and its own sovereign city state.  Granted independence from Rokkenjima in 1910 via a city-wide referendum on 14/10/1910 where 76% of the city’s population voted to become their own self governing republic. The nation is a democratic presidential republic with a robust parliamentary system and the population prefers to keep it that way, thus many Josain citizens are naturally skeptical about governments that grant too much power in the hands of one ruler, but pragmatic enough to look at the policies of governments over the structure of governments.

The city is known as a 24/7 mega city which boasts not only a strong democratic system, but a staunch commitment to secularism and commercial pragmatism, making it the perfect place for expats to work and a centre of international business within the Rokkenjima straights. They also share strong governmental and people-people relations with the Empire of Rokkenjima, but also have differing diplomatic relations as they have a strong commitement to a neutral foreign policy and are open to free trade.
