Northern Hinkoku will be flat and plain, while central and southern Hinkoku will be wooded and hilly. The very southern border and in the east will be large mountains. Lakes and rivers will be featured in the northern part of Hinkoku. The capital will be on the northwestern coast and be surrounded by hills and small mountains, with the biggest city being along the large western river. The third largest will be in a flat area on the eastern coast. The climate is humid and subtropical. Hinkoku will be prone to monsoons. The plan for Hinkoku is this https://postimg.cc/4YkyD03f. Smaller villages are present but not shown in the plan.

File:Invest - The Noun Project.svg	A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style

2/3 of the population will live in large cities and towns in flat, plain areas. 1/6 will live in agricultural towns and villages and the rest will be scattered in mountain towns and villages. In rural areas, 40% of citizens live below the poverty line, and in urban areas only 9% of citizens will live in poverty. City centres are littered with skyscrapers and high rises, while suburbs will mainly consist of single family housing. In mountain villages, people will live in small huts and in agricultural villages, many will live in the village centres however most will live in farmhouses near farms. Rural towns would usually have less well maintained infrastructure while urban areas will have better maintained roads and public transport.

Hinkoku will be a Japanese speaking area. I have some experience in hiragana and katakana, however my kanji does need improvement. The religion will mostly be Japanese Shinto and Buddhist religions. The culture is intended to be inspired by Kyushi/Izu, Taiwanese and East Chinese culture.
