User blog:The Testcardiologist/Prefectures of Hokusei

Hokkaiji

 * Normally people want to be pretentious and call it "Hokkaiji-Maoka" instead.
 * Kyushima-Okitama, anyone?

Maoka

 * Desolate and a relic of the troubled past with Brussia, it is located directly at the south of Salakhin Island.
 * One half of that island used to be Hokuseiese, though.
 * Imagine Brussia giving the island to Hokusei, let alone half of it. But Brussia is greedy.
 * In a sense, the Sugara of Hokusei.
 * They say it's the smallest in terms of population.
 * Logistics are more complicated, especially since many people in Hokkaiji think their prefecture is just Chapporo and [Hakodate].
 * Famima and 7-11 are recent. 20 years recent.
 * Development is limited to Maoka City and nothing else. In a sense, the prefecture's capital believes that the rest doesn't exist.
 * In the far north, you can see Brussia from Maoka.
 * Because of its location, some signs are even in three languages (Japanese, English and Russian).

Hokkaiji

 * The largest prefecture in land area.
 * The United Republics have Gibraska, Hokusei has Hokkaiji.
 * Instead of Inuits, you have Ainus.
 * You better have an Ainu that fled to Maoka.
 * The southwest of Hokkaiji is more developed than the rest.
 * The capital is Chapporo.
 * That's where the beer of the same name comes from.
 * Skiing is really popular here.
 * Unlike another prefecture I would mention.
 * A land of beautiful scenery.
 * New Rhumb has left the chat.
 * The Hokkaiji police is larger than the Yakuza.
 * There's more Yakuza out there than you imagine.

Aoyama

 * Connected by the [Seikan] tunnel from southern Hokkaiji.
 * Everybody knoews that Aoyama = apples.
 * In the past they used to breed the best horses for samurai.
 * Now they breed the best horses for... uh... horse meat? Is that cannibalism?
 * Aoyama's festival is Nebuta.
 * Don't like it? Go elsewhere.
 * Most people don't even understand each other. That's why they have the crappy Tsugaru accent.
 * Is Tsugaru supposed to be another language?
 * Nobody knows. But one thing is for sure: that isn't even Ainu.
 * Pikotaro was born here.
 * Pikotaro, an international meme.
 * Pikotaro, a national disgrace (for some?).

Akagawa

 * Shin-Chan's grandfather is from here!
 * That's why Hiroshi is into attractive girls, and he lives in Sayama.
 * In fact Akagawa has among the most attractive women of the country.
 * Population of barely a million.
