The '''Yuganagawa Protectorate''' was formed as the [[Oyashima#Ai_Dynasty|Ai Dynasty]] recognized the growing threat of the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]] from the west. Impressed by the martial prowess of the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Ularien Trading Company (UTC)]] during the [[Oyashima#Sea_Lords-Daimyo_Wars|Sea Lords-Daimyo Wars]], the Empress made a bold proposal. She offered the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]] the opportunity to establish a marcher territory in the western portion of Kokkahito. This territory, named Yuganagawa, would serve as a crucial defense against [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]] incursions and protect the Ai's vital trade routes. | The '''Yuganagawa Protectorate''' was formed as the [[Oyashima#Ai_Dynasty|Ai Dynasty]] recognized the growing threat of the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]] from the west.

The establishment of Yuganagawa marked a shift in focus for the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|UTC]]. For the next decade, the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]]'s energies shifted towards expanding the territory southward. This strategy aimed to put pressure on the northern flank of the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]] and relieve pressure on the [[History_of_Dericania#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Duchy of Marialanus']] [[Cote d'Or colony]] in modern day [[Kandara]]. | The establishment of Yuganagawa marked a shift in focus for the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|UTC]].

The governance of Yuganagawa walked a tightrope. The [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Company]] administration sought to maximize profits through trade and resource extraction, while the Ai Dynasty desired a bulwark against the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate|Khanate]] threat. Maintaining this balance was a constant challenge. Tensions occasionally flared between the [[Dericania]]n administrators and the {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotori}} populace, particularly regarding taxation and labor practices. However, the shared threat from the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate|Khanate]] and the need for economic prosperity usually served to quell these conflicts. | |||
==Governance and administration== | |||
Yuganagawa was treated by the emperesses of [[Oyashima#Kokkahito|Kokkohito]] as a {{wp|Prefectures_of_Japan#Ken|Ken Prefecture}} ruled over by a {{wp|Hatamoto}}-{{wp|Epistates}} appointed by the [[History_of_Dericania#Duchy_of_Marialanus|Duke of Marialanus]] and ordained by the Emperor. | |||
Beneath the {{wp|Hatamoto}}-{{wp|Epistates}} existed a complex bureaucratic structure. The UTC, known for its efficiency, implemented a tiered system. Upper echelons were staffed primarily by [[Dericania]]n officials, responsible for trade, taxation, and military matters. Lower administrative positions were gradually filled by {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotori}} people who demonstrated competence and loyalty. This localization helped bridge the cultural gap and eased tensions between the rulers and the ruled. As the territory expanded beyond the the initial realm of the Kokko new fiefs were assigned to [[Patroon]]s both of {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotori}} and [[Dericania]]n descent. | |||

===Military=== | |||
The {{wp|Hatamoto}}-{{wp|Epistates}}es commanded the [[Oyashima#Kokkahito|Kokkohito]] empresses' Army of the West, a force that fluctuated between 5-50,000 men throughout its tenure. The force was a combination of {{wp|samurai}}, professional [[Dericania]]n soldiers, {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotori}} peasant levies, and enslaved soldiers from the lands they conquered. The officer corps was mixed [[Dericania]]n and {{wp|Japanese|Mutsotori}} who grew to respect each other over the century of the army's existence. The greatest strength of the army, when it hit its stride from [[1643]]-[[1675]], was to leverage the strengths of the [[Dolong]] and [[Levantia|Levantine]] ways of war and have them build off of each other. After the defeat of the [[Myanga Ayil Khanate]] at the [[Myanga_Ayil_Khanate#Battle_of_Telmen-Uul|Battle of Telmen-Uul]], in [[1668]], the force was reduced in size and importance, and eventually becoming little more than a static border guard. | |||
