Hinomoto

Hinomoto (日ノ本, Hinomoto) is an island country located on the east of Eurasia continent.

The name Hinomoto has been decided by the Bakufu which itself created by the Daimyos of the east as a result of their war with Daimyos from the west in what known as the Warring States Period(which they apparently won)

Later the nation has been in a state of calm and peace, with the Bakufu established their strong ties with other foreign nations, resulted in many technological advancement.

Shogun then ordered nationwide fortification of strategic facilities as the news of Kabane outbreak in the Occident reached them.

As a result, these "deemed crucial" facilities became what known as "Eki".

After Kabane reached Kyuushuu, these stations was able to hold on their own as a result of sharing their agricultural products via transportation.

These stations eventually became the only safe havens in Hinomoto with railroad system as the only means of transportation.

However as the train itself is under Bakufu`s controls, no one dare going against them.
