The comparison with the urban states of northern Italy is appropriate. Thus, the Kensokyrö is made up of several states which are mainly dictatorships or theocracies. Trade between these countries exists because certain commodities, such as health and alcohol, are produced only by certain states. A rudimentary level of technology implies that most of the revenue comes from primary production. The workforce may consist of lower level magical beings or the head of state's own magic. For example at the Scarlet Devil Mansion fairies make up the majority of the workforce, in Eienti its the earth rabbits and in Mayohiga its Yukaris own magic. No taxes are collected because slaves rarely have anything to tax. It may be possible to collect some occasional taxes or other tax-like charges, but virtually all of the revenue flows through the state's highest governing body.

Machiavelli has written a great book called the "The Prince" which focuses on the rule of city-states. One of the most important doctrines in this book is that you should not stay neutral in wars. If you win, you will share the reaps of glory. Of course you might lose, but the loss is easier to bear with an ally. If you remain neutral, then the warring states will both consider you unpredictable. However, the topic was strengthening the northern Italian states against a strong external threat. Martial law and good relations contribute to this. Touhous become stronger with their constant wars, fights and burgeoning relations. It is likely that in the face of an external threat, as in the case of northern Italy, such as France, the city-states/Touhous will ally for a short period to alleviate that threat and then return to normality. So the power struggle might be about preparing for the eventual collapse of the Hakurei border.

It is noteworthy hat the Kensokyrö wars are well-targeted and not much about economic or regional interest. The aforementioned commerce also imposes certain restrictions on wars, such as the destruction of Erin's clinic is of no benefit to anyone. The situation of the human village is interesting, although it has a strong protector, it is clearly in a weaker military position. Its independence, therefore, is based on its economic utility. The currency used here is probably also widely used in other countries, although trade between these countries may be based on direct exchange of goods.


There is a state of stagnation in Kensokyrö. Territorial division, power relations, technology or culture have not changed dramatically over centuries. This may be due to the simple reason that Touhous are long-lived and have no heirs. It could also be a Cold War situation where balance of power prevents a full-scale hot war. It also brings to mind the world situation of Orwell's 1984 book, in which the ruling classes do not want to change the current situation because it greatly favors them. Technological development is being actively blocked as show by Hakure's anti-nuclear policy. Small wars are waged suppress weaker magical beings, the proletariat from ever gaining power. Apparently bigger Touhous never kill each other but the lesser fairies and magical creatures do suffer the horrors of war.

The state of the Hakurei Shrine can be considered to represent the polce of the world, apparently with the tacit approval of other states. If attempts are made to establish new states or by existing ones to expand their sphere of power, Reimu is often the one who prevents such excessive efforts. Reimu was integral, for example, in the case of the Red Mist, where the Scarlet Devil Mansion tried to expand its territory by spreading a thick mist. Other examples are the Moriya Temples regional conquest or the arrival of Byakure. Allies in these wars consist almost always of Marisa, as well as other states, depending on the current political climate. Mayohiga is also an active player in these situations, although it usually works with considerable secrecy and background. Mayohiga openly supports Hakurei politics, but for example the Moriya temple has openly opposed the Hakurei. Among other things, secret nuclear experiments were conducted with the support of Moriya. This figure shows remarkable coherence between the military alliance NATO and its operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I'm pretty sure you can cancel mail-forwarding online. As long as it's still in customs, they'll probably send it to the right place once it gets back to the post office.

Reimu is the most American Touhou. Her real name is Rachel Harrington, but she dyes her hair black and uses the pseudonym "Reimu" to be more appealing for Japanese audiences.

Lol, no. Not really.

How clever. She's just as dead as the founding ideals, afterall.

/jp/, sometimes I can't tell if there is a large amount of trolls here or if people are trying to emulate the way people post on Japanese imageboards.

FUCK YEAR
