This is Shihaisha, a country with a story to be told. We will be seeing breathtaking views and pictures and sometimes even secret stuff of everything Shihaisha. It is located on the majority of Hokkaido Island and an island just northeast of that. Wondering how Japan let go of part of its land? Let's read.
***************
It was 1946. America had defeated Japan with atomic bombs the year before. The US Government set up a territory on the Japanese island of Hokkaido. Japanese cities taken over by the US were kept, although their residents had to follow the Law of the US. Japan had control of only 23% of the island of Hokkaido. The US Territory began to thrive. Japanese and Americans filled the land. By 1954, it had a population of 3,450,109. Little did they know disaster would strike. In 1956, 4 typhoons struck the island and parts of Japan. Weak infrastructure made the land vulnerable. 1,340,400 were dead from collapsing buildings, flooded cities, and lack of supplies for over 2 weeks. Soon, the territory was abandoned.
The land was abandoned for many years. Debris and the houses that remained started to rot and deteriorate. In 1996, a group of Americans and Japanese wanted to buy the land to start a new country. So it was, in 1997, a new country was officially started. The group named the new land Shihaisha. What they found was mostly forest and rubble. They removed and cleaned the ruins and debris and started from ground zero. It now has a population of 6,361,240. The residents live in many cities including: Shisaido, Shiroku, Engatoshi, or Akihiko.
It's that time of year when all the lights, carolers, trees, and much more pop up in many cities around the world. It's the most wonderful time of the year! Shihaisha is celebrating Christmas this season with many activities like house-decorating contests, Christmas parties, and much more! Here is a sneak peek of something you should expect:

This is in Akihiko, an island city right next to Engatoshi. Suburbs are lit up with trees wrapped with lights, shopping centers shone on with red & green, and roofs lined with yellow lights.
Nice start. :thumbsup: Hope to see more soon.
Yes, nice start. The first picture is lovely.
Welcome to the world of MDing! :thumbsup:
The Christmas lights look lovely there.
Today we will be heading over to another quite small town. I don't want to show the big cities quite yet. We'll be looking at the suburban city of
Kukotoshi. Kukotoshi is part of the Shisaido Metropolitan Area, and is mainly small houses and mid-rise offices and stores. Also in Kukotoshi is
Shiroku International Airport. Trains and buses have major routes into this part of town because of the routes that lead directly to the airport.

Dantes: There's much more. As for the repitition, I've improved on controlling it, so hopefully the next few will be better.
noahclem: Thanks! I was a little reluctant on the Christmas one to be honest.
sunv123: Thanks for the welcome!
art18: Domo arigato!
nbvc: Christmas is soon, hopefully you'll enjoy the entry.
------------------------------
It's 6 days til' Christmas, and I don't want to give out a sneak peek because it's too close. I decided to do a somewhat regular update but still have the wonderful snow that some of us see on Christmas. We're heading off to the universities of Shihaisha. Shiroku University is closed as some have already known, but Engatoshi University is still open. We'll be looking at a few pictures of both taken just 2 weeks ago. These universities are widely known throughout East Asia and actually some of the most successful. Students here get a great feeding of knowledge so that they could success in the real world. English and Japanese classes must be taken at these universities, for these are the official languages in Shihaisha.
