Space to view art As the Kusan peninsula began to rapidly modernize, so did the growth of it's population skyrocket as the once humble nation burst to over 850,000 people living across the nation. In order to meet the demands of his people, his majesty, Emperor Ishikura Seiichi believed it was necessary for the Kusanagi Order to expand. So began the Kusanagi expansion north-east where the Kusanagi imperial guard landed on the island of now called Ji-karai Atoll while the military initiated military expansion to the coastline. During the expansion, the Kusanagi armed forces were met with utterly no resistance as inhabitants of these lands were either extremely outdated or lived in anarchy. 5 days later, Emperor Ishikura Seiichi asked on the situation of the expansion as of now. He was pleased to hear that the Kusanagi Order had gained more coastline, Ji-karai Atoll and vast resources of fish and more resources in the area such as more iron, timber and a recently uncvered resource: rare earth minerals. Rare earth minerals are esssential to building chips, technology, circuit boards and in extreme cases, precision technology. Kusanagi civilians began to move north east after learning of the expansion around 1 week after the expansion when the land gains were announced to the public.
