one of the oldest nations on /vt/world
naval nation heavily helped by their position
they guide themselves by looking at the stars, one of the few nations that do that
creators of the widely used sextants and planispheres
known traders across all the Western seas
maintain good relationship with the bordering countries
peaceful nation with a very strong army and an unrivaled, until now, float
big lighthouse on an islet far away from the bay
the lighthouse is a landmark for travelers from the Far West
when there's a comet in the sky, the lighthouse's light becomes blueish
during the night, a voice can be heard the closer you come to the lighthouse. Some say that it's Suisei, a special kind of comet, herself welcoming travelers
the sight of this comet in particular calm the citizens' mood and whenever this comet can't be seen in a long time, they start fighting among themselves
the fights are quickly forgotten by the next day when they remember that they are under the same dark sky, waiting for the comet to appear
observatories were built all across the nation to try and calculate the comet's next coming
the observatories are used for many reasons among the hoshiyomis
some to watch the comet from afar
some to help discuss the comet's peculiarities
some even crave the comet's beauty on its own
however, the comet itself is still far away and only shines its light when it suddenly appears
hoshiyomis still try to calculate the comet's next coming, to no avail
