The United States of Damukuni (Damukunian: ユナイテッドステイツアブダムクニ, Yunaitedo Suteitsu obu Damukuni), usually referred to as Damukuni, is a federal republic in the region of Yerfilag. It consists of eleven states and one territory, the Capital Territory, which houses the capital bimunicipality of Atarashii-Damushuto.
Name origin
The name Damukuni was originally a derogatory term used by the Japanese-speaking peoples of the then-recently independent nation of South Otselic. Near the end of 2013, the people of western South Otselic living near the coast of the Yerfilagi continent, mainly ethnic Catholics who disagreed with the Protestant views of then-Emperor of South Otselic Constantinius I, began to press for self-determination. One anti-separatist Japanese-speaking South Otselician, upon hearing of the move, wrote in an editiorial article, "Watashi wa seibu no minami otserishian' ga omoitsuku naru ka damu kuni no youna monodarou ka" ("I wonder what kind of a dumb nation the western South Otselicians will come up with"). (emphasis added) Pro-separatist western South Otselicians picked up on the Japanese grammar error (the correct word was kokka, not kuni), chanting "Damu kuni!" in emphatic tones as they picketed the Imperial Palace of South Otselic. Constantinius I, finally tiring of the separatists' incessant protests, finally granted them a theocracy along the western coast, along with eleven of South Otselic's administrative territories, with Pope Narcissus I ruling.
