《Quest for the Elysian Fields》Brief overview of the countries of the knights of Asina and Sina.
Advertisement
So, the Asina people are guys who are descendants of the Sinese people, and they have been educated In another way, amassed and made to interact with people, while having different ideologies being taught in their midst.
It’s like creating a semi-homologous environment, whereby the people of one particular country can find a divergence from their country. In this case, the Asina people would adopt the same mindset that ‘anything can be done as long you have the will to do it’, and perform their economical growth in such a way that it resembles the Sina nation. It is understood that the main thing driving the Sinese is ‘pride’ (national pride, and primitive clan pride), and that having a group - a pride - of Asinese developed would act as buffer towards the influence of the Sinese people, since they are altogether, geographical too close to countries which pretend to impose, and have started exhibiting signs of corruption, virtually complete violation of private lives, unjustifiable torture, and even more, dehumanizing to a grave extent. (Need to do some research to make it more, hugely so, grounded.)
The lack of a concrete buffer - as another power - means virtual unification of nations, as the Sina (unification) did. An alternative would be represented in Asina, with the powers, the distributed authorities, and not just a union with borders
The Sina nation:
There, big brother Poplar Bilis is gonna rate your existence. If you pay your bills late, if you are handicapped or simply idle even one day away, and that you are not as hardworking as a workaholic, who runs the risk of death through overworking, then, prepare yourself to be pressured indefinitely, to have your wishes, and life dreams, and the aftermath of their satisfactions trampled by a system judging all your habits, presenting itself as the most unequal system yet, without any international manifestation or demonstration, and ultimately, you can happily commit suicide under all the pressure. Such a country is a country with no philosophers anymore, since what entails humanity, its happiness, its essence and all will be cut off. It’ll still be run by money, and by clan favoring. In this nation, there’s a character called ‘Makishima’ - not for some jp familiarisation, but for what the character represents.

In contrast, Asina leads an almost idealized existence, with its people receiving their basic needs, like food, clothing, shelter, travel, water, adequate technological tools (for one is often nothing or under-performing without one’s tools) and such through a simple accumulation of points which is lowkey monetary means, except that it’s individualized, and rewards for further stuffs are put forth through optional competitions and courses. Asina is a time-based economy, by which its citizens will have as much food, and as much clothing they want, with traveling privileges coming per age milestone, and cumulative if not spent, with scholarships for visa arrangements and subsequent travels, much like internships, being feasible. Merit comes in the form of rewards, like food or certain kinds of offices to be held, and accessible to all. Even an idle person, if of a mind to put himself to work, will have several doors open to him irrespective of his habits, save for perhaps criminal charges, which is minimal, since money not being involved includes no thieving, or drug dealings. The transparency is most clear here, since at a certain age, a person will have roughly the same benefits as any other person of his age. Being forever punctual to his work, much like in the army, without regard for reasons, is much like being in an army, and even a cause for showing how similar it is to schools. Adults as kids - such a thing is for the Sina nation, and punctuality is more of a manner of cordiality than a rule to cut ‘points’, since merit and usefulness are not determined by such ambiguous and non-indicative bases - at best, it shows that the candidate has fulfilled the amount of time required, but not his level of expertise or attention he or she has or gave to his work.
