Kararagi

Kararagi City States (カララギ都市国家), usually referred to as Kararagi (カララギ), is a country located to the west of Lugnica.

Information
Kararagi is similar to Japan in various ways, such as speaking in a Kansai dialect, having an architectural style known as Wafuu, and a food similar to okonomiyaki known as daisukiyaki.

Based on the official name of Kararagi given by Julius, it can be inferred that the country is a city state. However, it's unknown whether it is only one city state or includes a group of city states.

Slavery is legal in most parts of Kararagi. However, it is illegal to enslave someone in Banan whose existence is secured. Conversely, it's legal to enslave street children as long as you're not seen doing so.

Shinobi's, who are skilled spies and assassins that are known to be employed by other powers, originate from Kararagi.

Each city state has a representative, known as Mayors (都市長), and all of them vote to decide the country's representative who is referred to as the Consul General (大総領). There are seven great cities in Kararagi in total, numbered from one to seven.

History
Kararagi was founded by a man named Hoshin of the Wilderness (荒地のホーシン Arechi no Hooshin), a man speculated to be from the same world as Subaru and Al. He introduced many things similar to Japanese culture to the country.

Ricardo was formally a slave who worked with Razcrew, until Anastasia had promised to one day purchase Ricardo and remove his collar. Anastasia negotiated Razcrew and removed his collar. Ricardo kept his collar so he didn't forget that time.

Sometime in the past, Mimi, Hetaro, and Tivey were abandoned by their parents and were taken in by Roshi. After his death, Anastasia and Ricardo took care of the triplets and lived with them ever since.

11 years ago, Echidna met Anastasia and became her consultant because she was intrigued by her.

Eventually, the Ryuushika Business Association was founded, during which she voiced her opinion concerning a small business deal, earning her work. Eventually, she bought the company with her amassed wealth and renamed it into the Hoshin Trading Company. Looking to expand into the Lugnica market, she was in the middle of a conversation with the Juukulius family when it was discovered that she is eligible to participate in the royal election.

Locations
Albis River (アルビス河 Arubisu Kawa): A river which is located at the northern most part of Kararagi. The origin of the river is unknown, and it's long enough to go through Gusteko.

Free Trade Metropolitan Area (自由交易都市群 Jiyuu Boueki Toshigun): The Free Trade Metropolitan Area is presumably a metropolitan area that allows free trade. It is also where Anastasia is from and she is from the lower class. Hoshin Trading Company (ホーシン商会 Hooshin Shoukai): The Hoshin Trading Company was originally called the Ryuushika Business Association (リューシカ商工会 Ryuushika Shoukoukai), which she used to be a member until she bought them and renamed the company, taking over as the president in the process. Since then she has used her business skills to make it grow into a major power within Kararagi.

Banan (バナン): The city where the Rem IF/Natsuki Rem takes place. It lies in Western Kararagi near its centre, and is known as the second city. Magolya Plateau (マゴーリア高原): A large pleateu in Kararagi where the Grand Mogolade's Geyser's water spews out to.
 * Magoji Mansion (マゴージ御殿): The Magoji Mansion, owned by Riften Magoji, is located in the northern part of the city.

 * Grand Mogolade Geyser (モゴレード大噴口): A body of water which is often mistook as a lake. The geyser is said to be so deep that the water that filled it would lead to the Great Waterfall. Fish and other aquatic animals live in the geyser.
 * Cragrel Moving Forest (クラグレル移動林): A special kind of body of nature that evolved due to Kararagi's harsh climate. A forest in which its trees roots do not sink to the ground. The forest evolved so that it would move as a single entity to areas in which the geyser spewed out its water at, depending on the wind's direction. The trees' wood was known to be of very fine quality.
