World History

Nation: Koi の王国 (Koi Kingdom)
Location: An island in the ocean, off the eastern part of Japan. (Exact Location Unknown)
Language Spoken: A lost form of Japanese.
1. Waves: Represent our knowledge, our minds are as vast as the deep blue ocean.
The waves also represent our nations fighting force and willingness to protect the beauty of the ocean.
2. The color white in the waves displays our faith in the ocean, and the god Poseidon resembling his white hair.
3. The color blue in the waves represents our nation's pride, the will to protect the things we love.
4. The anchor represents our solidity, we are as solid as an anchor. None can defy us, and if they try our strength is uncomparable to theirs.
5. The anchors location, above the water, shows that we can not be defeated. Not even the worlds largest anchor can sink us.
6. The faded colors represent our age, and knowledge. Like a lost book, we are always here but not always acknowledged, yet hold the worlds secrets within our mind.
7. The bannor, and its shape shows that we are open to new ideas, even though we are set in our old ways.
8. The rope around the anchor, shows our skill in the sea. Our naval ships may be pre historic, but in the heat of battle, it isn't the weapon that defines the victor, it's how the weapon is used. In this case, how the ship is used.
9. The gold color represents our nation’s wealth.
10. The sky in the background shows our connection with the gods.


This seal helps encourage my nation because it is powerful in meaning. The waves, the color, the anchor. It shows that we are strong. If not always in numbers, but in our ways. We know that just as the ocean, we have always and will always be here. Even though not all have discovered our existence, we still lay here waiting for the day that we can spread our knowledge with the rest of the world. Until that day we are content with the solitude of being on our own. Although we know that we are not on our own for the great god Poseidon is on our side. The connection between the sky and sea, brings my nation great pride! The wind powering our ships, and most of our buildings are powered by either solar or water power. We are a very natural, and beautiful land. We take great pride in our appearance, and our wealth. We spend the majority of our money on preserving the land and keeping it as beautiful as it is. Today it is one of the only places you can find a family of koi fish in nature. Many people call us a communist nation, although we may have some feature to make us so, we found the most pleasant medium. As communist nations do, every month we go house to house to take up a collection for the preservation of land, or the formation of new statues, ponds, planting of gardens, the usual here. Although it is more of a donation, and the people here are all happy to donate. We are like a big family, as a leader i know all of my people by name. Our government is composed of people who want to volunteer to help out. We have no set government, it is whoever would like to help that day. Even though i am the set leader, as my father was before me, and his father, his father's father, and so on. My nation is the greatest nation in the world and we have the people to thank for that!CaptureSeal.jpg
