Kiton

The Kingdom of Kiton (Kitonese: 俟東國 Kiton Kuru) is an island nation in the South China Sea in Southeast Asia.

Kiton is an archipelago of over 400 islands. The main island groups are Kurung (consisting of only one island, Fuluh Kurung Island), Ratanghawa, Singtel and Sari'iki. Shikoku, which together comprise about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. The region of Sayaula within Fuluh Kurung, contains the capital city Syungkyung and the country's largest city, Akelaksa.

Kiton is a federation of five autonomous states: the chiefdoms of Rajola, Halava, Hewalaya, Solang-Ariratan and the republican State Union of Ailongenge'ai. Each state rules over an island group within Kiton with their own chiefly family and with a high degree of autonomy. These chiefdoms swear fealty to the King of Kiton, the sovereign ruler over these islands, coming from the Kangtaga chiefly-royal family.

Archaeological research indicates that people lived in Kiton as early as the Upper Paleolithic period. The first written mention of Kiton is in Sanskrit texts referring to Kitangga. Influence from other regions, mainly China and India, has shaped Kitonese culture and defined much of its history. According to tradition, the chief of the Chinese-Ki tribe of Kangtaga conquered the Kitonese islands and began the Kangtaga dynasty, assimilating them within the Kangtaga culture which had much Chinese influences (these influences were very outdated due to lack of contact with China). From the 4th century CE until 833CE, Kiton was torn apart and run by powerful chiefly families which were gradually Indianized. Kiton was finally reunited under Kangtaga I, Harihara, Ariyawin and signalled the beginning of the second Kangtaga dynasty: Indic Kangtaga. This dynasty has lasted through the ages till today, where the time-tested Kangtaga family rules.

Pre-Sinitic Kangtaga
Prior to the sixth century BCE, the island of Kurung was inhabited by a large number of indigenous tribes. These tribes were Sinicized and used local variants of a type of ancient Shang Chinese dialect in their writing, known as Kekwefu 寫. This was due to a wave of immigrants from Shang China which brought ancient Chinese language and writing.

Warfare was daily fare for the Kitonese tribes and the tribe of Nodong 砮崬 emerged as one of the tribal powers. By the sea, Nodong had access to trade and was able to acquire iron weapons which the inland tribes lacked. By forming peaceful alliances with other tribes, Nodong was recognized as a powerful tribe and the priests of other tribes conferred the hereditary title Kangtaga 庚德 on its chief, Natangaweka, the Chileng Kangtaga 子鐮庚德. This significant event was recorded in oracle bones.

As time passed, Polynesians from the southern seas posed a great threat to the Kurung tribes. By this time, most of Kurung had alliances with Nodong. The then Kangtaga, Hiohoi 孝亥, was called upon to defend his dependents. His conquests against opposing tribes to unify Kiton and defeat of the three-headed warriors is very much shrouded in legend and compiled as folklore, but it is known that he unified the tribes of Kiton to form a unified Kingdom to defeat the enemy. Hiohoi Kangtaga's conquest of Kiton heralded the age of Sinitic Kangtaga.
