	Of all Pangui nations, only Nipangu participates in the sea trade, and then only the Sword Clan. Sword Clan goods leave from the Eizo port of Kaoru Ka-Su-No. Sai-No-Gu and Saku Irniq join the Nipangui Shogunate and loyal daimyo in trading over the Northern Icefields through the Halflings and other middlemen. This is not necessarily by choice, as the Eizo ruthlessly maintain their monopoly with the Berjeron. The traditional departure point from Nipangu itself for these traditional traders is Ko-Ho-Nui Amatsu Ga, a northern port city owing loyalty to the Shogun.

	The average Nipangui is a commoner, whether farmer of beans, wheat, wild rice (dry cultivated) in the valleys and terraces, fisher of rivers or lagoons, mercenary, soldier, or an artisan or shopkeeper in the myriad cities which dot the coast. In his features, he differs substantially from Arangothians, Alesians, Berjeron, or even the mysterious men on the far sides of the northern ice-fields, his skin often being coppery with ~~oriental~~ eyes, thick eyebrows, and black hair. He tends to be shorter than westerners, and his features broader.		The average Nipangui is a commoner, whether farmer of beans, wheat, wild rice (dry cultivated) in the valleys and terraces, fisher of rivers or lagoons, mercenary, soldier, or an artisan or shopkeeper in the myriad cities which dot the coast.

He tends to be shorter than westerners, and his features broader.

	All the varying classes wear most often a variation of the kimono, made of various materials, though all are tightly knit to protect against the fierce and cold winds. Underneath the kimono, except in the few humid months of summer, thick wool is worn from ankle to neck. The current fashion sees the outer kimono in solid, often dark colours, while the woolen innerwear is brightly colorful and ornately patterned. While it is considered gauche to wear too many symbols or designs on the body of one’s kimono, especially the front, the sleeves and backs often bear myriad symbols, some simply aesthetic and some identifying the various societies to which the wearer belongs.

	Sai-No-Gu's eastern marches are dangerously susceptible to raids by the Sho Gokkan camel-men, but vital as the breadbasket of the entire archipelago. The flattening land and irrigable rivers and lakes allow for broad fields of various types of grain and wild rice. Protection from raiders is afforded by collective manors in the centre of a number of farmlands. These manors are usually built on the highest ground available and fortified as much as possible. In the event of a raid, the entire community retreats inside these outposts and can only watch while the Sho Gokkan seize their crops. While the government provides serviceable weapons, the local lord acts more as a lookout and perhaps skirmisher than a general. Their only hope lies in the arrival of a 'Gardener' monk (See entry) to facilitate a new crop. Armies are located in the east, but they can retaliate only with punishing attacks. Only rarely are raided goods actually recovered.		Sai-No-Gu's eastern marches are dangerously susceptible to raids by the Sho Gokkan camel-men, but vital as the breadbasket of the entire archipelago.

	Trade with the north and the outlying island colonies is carried out with the aforementioned barges. This has left them vulnerable to the few Western ships that sail so far east. A few pirating expeditions have been reported to have traveled this far, though the long journey and the dangers of Berjeron ~~galleons~~ makes the wealth gained only barely worth it. One of the draws of pirating the Sai-No-Gui for many Westerners is that they seldom need to worry about death by anything other than starvation and disease on the long voyage. Since the Sai-No-Gui are used to warring with the horse tribes and the equally poor local sailors, they are easy prey to Western pirating techniques. Lately the Sword Clan of Nipangu has been increasingly circumventing the authority of that land’s Shogunate and awarding letters of marque to western sailors in return for a cut of their spoils.

Recently, direct contact with the Berjeron mariners has had a pronounced effect on the status quo.

	For the last few centuries, Nipangu has been ruled by a Shogun, a warrior regent appointed to govern by an Emperor more concerned with achieving nirvana in his sequestered garden than ruling. The Shogunate is at last beginning to be challenged in its supremacy by the Eizo ‘Sword Clan.’ The incredibly wealthy Sword Clan has built an empire out of shipping ~~katanas~~ and other goods to the hungry Occident through outlander merchants. A cold war now rages between the Shogunate and Sword Clan, which is often also fought among the pockets of Nipangui immigrants and merchants in the West.

	Those mariners who discovered the Eizo fief on Nipangu at the turn of the century were a black-skinned people known as the Berjeron. The Berjeron sail the seas with large galleons well fitted to withstand the turbulent northern waters. Like the Sword Clan, they have made a great fortune in taking up the Nipangui trade. Their many-sailed ships have a number of established routes from Panguro to many other western nations.

	On Veth, the ~~Katana~~ and other goods find their destination in three major ports of trade. The first is Kagamki, a city-state on the far northeast side of Rashnad that has always been a major trading port. Even before the advent of the Nipangui sea route, other middlemen would arrive there from the Icefields trade. Goods pass from Kagamki along the River Iske, then the Desert Road to [[Taranor\|Telemenx/Taranor]] and from there to [[Leptatarna\|Inner Arangoth]], [[Rondis]], [[Kahlahra]], [[Caern Rhia]] and all the landlocked nations.

	~~==Etymology==~~

	Some westerners call any inhabitants of these many lands the ‘Nipangese,’ regardless of race or nation. It is also common western parlance to replace any ‘ui’ ending (the local plural), with ‘ese.’ Nipangese might refer to the continent or the nation, Sainogese and Irniqese are also regular. Those more informed as to the workings of the continent and its peoples refer to the inhabitants of the island chain as simply the Pangese or Pangui. However, few westerners have visited Panguro and thus most are only familiar with the Nipangui.

	There are a great number of prized hot springs located throughout the mountainous islands, heated by the several dormant volcanoes.
