Politics
Government

Tosānchi is a constitutional monarchy. The Emperor holds little, if any, power, and is only the ceremonial Head of State of the country. Executive power is exercised by the Prime Minister and their cabinet. This makes the Prime Minister the Head of Government.

The unicameral national legislature of Tosānchi is called the Parliament of Tosānchi. Comprised of 494 seats, 246 of them are elected through single-district elections and 248 are awarded based on the national popular vote. Should a party exceed its share of the national vote in parliament, no more national seats shall be awarded. This makes the voting system of the parliament Mixed-Member Proportional. District seats are not divided nationally, but they are allocated based on a prefecture's population. For example, Tankyo is allocated 31 seats.

Demographics
Population

Tosānchi is a nation with around 49.3 million residents. Most of Tosānchi, especially the western prefectures, are relatively homogeneous apart from major cities such as Tankyo, which have small immigrant communities. The east of the country is different: most of Tosānchi's various minorities inhabit the eastern prefectures, and the area is not as monolithic as the west.

The largest ethnic group are the Tosānchi, or Tosānchinese, a Japonic people comprising more than 80% of the population. The largest ethnic minority are the Shoyo, another Japonic people that make up almost 8% of the population. Most ethnic groups native to these lands are either of Japonic or Uju origin. The largest Uju minority, the Háatlag, are around 5% of the population.

Religion

Tosānchi has various faiths, but the one that predominates is Konminism, a monotheistic religion unique to the country. A small Buddhist minority, markedly in Sōkori prefecture, also exists.

The east is where minority faiths are more noticeable. Whilst the Japonic minorities such as the Shoyo or Taimo do have sizeable Konminnist communities, their original faiths do persist. The Uju minorities, on the other hand, have no large number of adherents of the Konminnist faith, and thus their native faiths comprise a vast majority of their populations.

Immigrant communities have largely retained their own religions.

Languages

The Tosānchi language, a Japonic tounge, is the dominant method of communication in the country. Almost all the citizens of the country are fluent in Tosānchinese. Despite this, the ethnic minorities do have their own languages.

The Shoyo and Taimo languages are both Japonic, closely related to Tosānchinese. Some Tosānchinese ultranationalists go so far as to state that these are just dialects of Tosānchinese, but linguists believe that Tosānchinese comprises its own branch of the Japonic family. Shoyo and Taimo are categorized into their own branch of the Japonic languages, and have been influenced more by their Uju neighbours than Tosānchinese has been.
