Kaigara contains seven nations, an expansionist empire, and a couple independent city states. Each region is characterized by the influence or philosophy of one of the Kodomo. Some of the nations, and the empire, are directly ruled by one of the Kodomo. In others, they serve either an advisory role or merely an inspirational one. While there is no active war, the tension on some of the borders is extremely high.
Domoki is the expansionist empire at the heart of Kaigara. Tanochi, Shoku, and Gankono are closely allied nations to the south east. Kumasho and Rekisho are closely allied nations in the north west. Nekoku and Kinochi are extremely independent nations located in the north east.
Butachi, Doku-Tochi, and Kiri-Tochi are all free city states, uncontrolled by any of the nations.
