Lordship of Sakura

The Lordship of Sakura, also known as Sakura Province, is the most populous province of the Second Empire of Plagatèa, and is furthest North-west of the provinces, with a border to the Constitutional Republic of Alamayn and within Plagatéa to the provinces of Seivija and Sakurai Tempo. It is ruled by the Lady Shogun, Aisuru Numachi of Sakura, part of the ruling Numachi family, the largest noble family in Plagos. Its capital is the large city of Kitaichi, which is also the de-facto capital of the Second Empire of Plagatèa.

About
It is notable for its South-east Asian style of architecture, with towering castles, beautiful walled gardens, wide estates and small but pretty houses. It spans through a diverse range of biomes, ranging from towering cliffs and mountains to plains, swamp and desert.

The Sakuran people are known for their peaceful and relaxed attitudes to life, finding beauty in peace and tranquillity. They do not like war, or fighting, and maintain that diplomacy is the proper and just way to solve external issues.

History
The Province of Sakura as it was known when it was established, was under the rule of Lord Tsuki Hoshasei. As the states of Plagos united under Nova Plagatéan Federation, the lands previously under the control of the Shigetada Shogunate were organized into the Province of Sakura. The then city of Ieon was established as the capital of the new nation, with the settlements and lands of Sakura City, Yamagake and Linwan being put under the rule of the province. Not long later though, Lord Tsuki would die in an encounter with Entropy Worshippers in Southern Plagos. At his death bed, he named his foster daughter, Aisuru Naho (later Aisuru Numachi) as the new Lord of the province, before shortly passing away.
