The major clans are the Tachibana (Scholars), Koga (Military), Iga (Industry), and the leading clan Tokugawa (Politicians and Businessmen). Under these clans, several minor clans also operate. The Core is a group dedicated to the protection of the Hanahoshi Islands, the advancement of technology and the supervision of a free and open society. It’s controlled by the directors of the leading clans with the Tokugawa at the head; a seemingly stable system. However, despite the outward appearance of cooperation, it is no mystery to the population of the constant acts of espionage and sabotage which occur in the background as each clan vies for more prosperity, influence, and respect. On the Isles of Hanahoshi, a clan (or family) must go to great lengths for the smallest amount of honour, a delicate prize which can be instantly stripped from them at the slightest hint of shame.<br/><br/>The Core, once known as CAAI (Pronounced Kai; Citizens Against Artificial Intelligence), was a movement which began on mainland Japan in the year 2015 by a group critical of the transference of powers from a human government to an Artificial Intelligence, one which would come to be called Gaia. While they started small, CAAI soon attracted the attention of some of the larger families of Japan and, after several brushes with the law, decided to use their newfound wealth and influence to exile themselves in favour of creating a new and free society. Thus the islands of Hanahoshi were settled and developed in the year 2020. Since then CAAI has become “The Core”, a move that has left citizens sceptical. Many of the people of Hanahoshi feel that “The Core” has been twisted into nothing more than a means of maintaining control for a privileged elite.</span></div> </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">HANAHOSHI MAP</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/fea725c6.jpg)</div></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">CITIES OF HANAHOSHI</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/0dea2086.png)<br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/d3d292d9.jpg)<br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/51ceb0d1.jpg)<br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/d637c7cc.jpg)<br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/a2144d86.jpg)<br/>(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Cities/4d8d37a6.jpg)</div><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Rural Areas:</strong><br/>Rural Towns and Hamlets of all shapes and sizes are scattered throughout the Isles, each with their own customs and cultures. Some retain a connection to a nearby city but most are content to live detached from the clans and the rest of Hanahoshi. Urban citizens have a habit of looking down on their rural kin, seeing them as uneducated barbarians. This myth is constantly propagated through searing exposés on rural life, where journalists pick out the worst rural villagers to create a report on. The media hardly cares for a balanced review in light of how well shock and horror sells.</span></div></div></div><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OTHER SCHOOLS OF HANAHOSHI</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Uniforms/54bc6996.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Bijuu High:</strong><br/>Bijuu High was created to accommodate the increasing numbers of students trying to make their way into Tachibana High.  The Tachibana Clan has always believed that education is a tool that should be given freely without fear or favour, with this in mind they allowed students to enrol based on a first-come-first-serve policy rather than influence or wealth. The education provided by the Tachibana was widely sought however and so it wasn’t long before the increased demand forced the Tachibana to create a new school. Bijuu High follows a similar system to Tachibana High, to the point where it has become like a rival, but this hasn’t stopped many from seeing it as inferior to the original.</span></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Uniforms/90cbeb0b.png)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Tokugawa College:</strong><br/>The Tokugawa College of Kamigawa is a snobby, upper crust, school where the right of admission is determined based on the size of the cheque being offered. It outclasses all other schools of Hanahoshi when it comes to equipment, facilities and technology, but suffers from a reputation which includes everything from fixed exam results to debauchery between staff and students. There are actually student cliques, with powerful parents, which have more control over the school than the staff themselves. Despite this all it is still considered the place to be if a person wants to gain a foothold in the cutthroat world of business and politics. The school also suffers under a constant barrage of claims of cheating by the other schools, claims which only increase after every intercollegiate tournament.</span></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div> <br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><div class="floatleft">(http://i782.photobucket.com/albums/yy103/TrashyMe/Tachibana%20High/Uniforms/2a0861f2.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Koga Military Academy:</strong><br/>The Koga Military Academy is known for its strength on the field and court, to the point where some have wondered if they might not be relying on some sort of “assistance.” The truth of the matter however is that the students are simply treated like soldiers and forced to undergo rigorous training exercises, day in and out. Pupils are completely cut off from their family once enrolled for the year and are stripped of any possessions before being assigned a barracks and instructor. They have your basic classes, such as English, Maths, History, etc., but the majority of the day is taken up by physical activity. Failure to pass academically is met with punishment while failure to pass the physical exercises is met with outright expulsion.</span></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>City of Nagoya:</strong><br/>The city of Nagoya relies on a series of informal institutions rather than a proper school. It is within these institutions that the young are taught a basic skillset to assist their inevitable integration into the workforce. Unlike the local citizenry, the wealthy of Nagoya send their children to the various schools operating on other islands of Hanahoshi.</span></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div> </div></div>
