Well, let's slowly but surely start preparing for the next game, and then, as soon as the cast is removed, we can begin. It's very long and inconvenient to do everything with one hand, so I'll be recording the design process here as I go, without notebooks and other things. The game format is being prepared to be closest to RI3, but with a greater emphasis on social life and academic rivalry than serving the Empress. By the way, even with one hand, I think the flag turned out great.

The Kingdom of Sakuramoria is a state in the southwest of Lafrenia, bordering Aoki on the north, Sangvinaria on the east, Levia on the south, Oleander on the northwest, and Letargia across the western maritime border. The territory controlled by the country is a solid 246428 km², acquired mainly through wars: both offensive and defensive – as a result of signing peace treaties with aggressors who underestimated Sakuramoria. Part of the land was also acquired through peaceful means, i.e., bought in exchange for money, goods that are important during crises for neighboring countries, as well as advice on development and technology exchange; all this was possible thanks to the strong and stable economy of Sakuramoria, achieved through a long period of prosperity and the absence of significant internal conflicts. Of course, the kingdom has not always emerged victorious from international conflicts, but today its position is stronger than ever, although relations with its neighbors remain fragile and unfriendly. Perhaps for this very reason, the current monarch of the kingdom, burdened by the rigid mindset of the past, has stepped aside and left the governance of the country to his children and grandchildren, hoping that their youth will allow the kingdom to transform to suit the new era, and the citizens of Sakuramoria will be able to join hands with their neighbors instead of giving their lives in war against them.
Levizia Starlight, the king's granddaughter and the first daughter of the heir apparent, decided to fulfill her beloved grandfather's request by building and leading a new national academy, where talented young men and women from Sakuramoria and other countries of the continent will be admitted, where they are expected to fully realize their potential and lead the world to a better future.
Etymology
The name of the kingdom comes from the words Sakuran and Moria. In ancient times, these were the names of competing city-states, which eventually transformed into larger states, and over the years, after many years of war and misunderstanding, finally reached reconciliation and united into one country.
National symbols
Kaoris are evergreen trees that grow around Lake Sakuran (hence the name of the city of the same name). In spring, its leaves are green and full of life; in summer – noble gold; in autumn – mysterious red; in winter – pale, like ice. It is believed that these trees are nourished by pururut, which is located under the lake, which gives them magical properties. Kaoris sheds its leaves three times a year – at the end of each season, except for winter, and the days on which this event falls are national holidays when people should rest from the hustle and bustle, restore their spiritual strength, and spend time with their families. However, the significance of kaoris in the life of Sakuramoria is not limited to this: its leaves are used in the preparation of dishes, medicines, and even, after proper processing, for making accessories, clothing, and decorations.
Pom are graceful and proud horses, famous both for their strength and speed, and for their beauty and intelligence; they become very attached to their first owner and will serve him faithfully, but they will not tolerate bad treatment – they will respond in kind. They have white fur, golden manes, and eyes the color of precious stones. They play a large role in the literature and folklore of Sakuramoria, where they are often companions of innocent girls and noble young men. In more mundane works, they often appear as a faithful companion to a Sakuramorian soldier.
Form of government
The reigning monarch has long been endowed with absolute power over all internal and external affairs of the country, but the use of such powers in a unilateral manner is extremely rare in the history of Sakuramoria. Instead, the reigning king or queen usually consults with prefects, members of the royal council, and other officials and even civilians, depending on the nature of the specific problem.
The prefects of Sakuramoria manage the affairs of a specific region of the country and are elected during regional elections, and then represent the interests of their fellow citizens. However, they can still be removed from office by the monarch.
Demographics (education)
Due to the fact that during wartime, the male population was drafted into the army, and in peacetime was burdened with the need to support a family, the majority of students in higher educational institutions are traditionally women, while among men, there are mostly those from wealthy families.
National Academy named after Levizia Starlight
Or simply NAILS. According to rumors, the founder of the academy was embarrassed by such a name and wanted to use something more modest, not related to her name, but the king insisted on this option.
The duration of study at NAILS will be 2 years and will begin on March 3, 3996, after passing exams and a medical examination. Foreign citizens will be enrolled after the completion of the first quarter – in the summer, after the students of Sakuramoria complete the basic course of history and modern politics (i.e., foreign origins will be unlocked).
