Kōshi (Principia Moderni)

Shogunate of Kōshi is a nation located on the Sulawesi Island. It was formally a Finnish colony until 1875.

History
Kōshi was originally established by Finland in 1761 though soon was re-established in 1766. Since then, Kōshi has been a part of Finland for 114 or 109 years (from 1761-1875 or 1766-1875).

In 1875, and seeing Finland in ruins, Kaija Tanaka (who was elected as new governor of Kōshi) peacefully declared Kōshi independent in 1875. It was soon recognised by both Kanako Björklund and the Republic of Kazami. Kanako Björklund wished them good luck as well. In 1876 Shogun Helmiina Konpaku established Reiuzi as the political capital and Harjavalta as the imperial capital (read: where the Empress lives and rules). Later in 1879 Empress Kaija Tanaka took control of the Republic of Kazami after it was transferred to them by Kanako Björklund. Around the 1880s the Shogunate of Kōshi begun to research more into technology areas and soon had Street Lights and, with the help of the Nipponese Telephone Company, telephone lines being hooked up in the nation.

Name
The name of Kōshi originally came from the Nipponese city of a similar name. Though, Nippon's city of Kōchi in Kōchi Prefecture is spelled with a 'c' while the Shogunate of Kōshi has Kōshi spelt with an 's' in place instead. As the city of Kōchi in Kōchi Prefecture was also the place of a Finnish trading post, the Finns named their next colony after the Nipponese city of Kōchi in Kōchi Prefecture.
