The history of the country is not so simple. At first, it was a Japanese territory, during a certain time in the Edo period (1603-1868). In the year 1618 they ‘invaded’ it, but there was no one in that land area. Japan claimed it as their own territory and used it as a place to keep materials and to get materials since it was rich in fish that Japan couldn't get (Kotai is an island country) and decided to use it as extra rice fields and crops to farm. The Island had started to gain its own people and they tried really hard to make it its own land. Japan had accepted it because they made a trade deal. So in 1650 they finally became their own country, but still used as land for crops for Japan mainly.

At this time it was known as the Kyushin period due to the fact the person in power, the emperor, was called Kyushin Shakaba Demina. Yes, from 1650-1898 there were 6 emperors, Kyushin Shakaba Demina (1650-1703), Bakuru Wana (1704-1767), Ritowa Morikawa (1768-1801), Mori Kiwa Mara (1802-1827), Gaiji Kiji (1828-1866), Womena Moji (1867-1898) (All male). These people were directly sent from Japan as a way to keep the peace treaty a thing, giving it a bit of a system. During the Kyushin period, people had volunteered to build temples and shrines for the gods and the emperors, still standing today. This worked until 1900 when the people had decided to make a new type of government, which Japan found completely fine. This was the start of an Empourialistic type of government, kind of using the history of the Japanese emperor in a way to make a choice for the people. By 1904, the government has been Empourialistic and has stayed the same since. The country had basically been a safe haven for people to go to, and Japan had aided them, making it able to catch up to modern type structures.
