Proyekt Togenkyo is officially founded. Upon this event, the UN recognized Proyekt Togenkyo as a self governing state, co-controlled by Japan and Russia. The UN also allows for Proyekt Togenkyo to be represented in meetings. Settlers have yet to be appointed for these positions, so placeholders from Russia and Japan have been sent.

But meanwhile on Rumination, life as settlers goes on. A small amount of buildings have been constructed around the dock site.

As citizens are chosen at random from both Russia and Japan, a wide variety of building disciplines are aplenty. A permanent dock for the ship that brought the original 500 settlers to Rumination has been made, making a direct connection to the main village. As for life in the colony, very little electrical connections have been established. Wind Turbines supply all of the colony's power. However, there is no internet service or telephone connection. Citizens rely on mail brought to and from on ships to contact family on the mainland. Since settlers are from either Russia or Japan, there is a bit of a language barrier.

To prevent this, free Russian and Japanese classes are available. Some citizens instead use English as an in-between.

This is the current seat of council for Proyekt Togenkyo. The current style of governing is a Town Hall style meeting, any and all citizens can come and express concerns and requests. Since Proyekt Togenkyo does not have a operating military, it is protected by the Navies and Air Forces of Japan, Russia, Korea, and China.

For one settler, this exchange to Rumination is a new beginning...

For Daisuke Yamaha, a recent High School graduate, moving to Rumination is a chance to change everything he disliked about his life before. Daisuke sees this as an exciting change. He does not have family, or family he wants to talk about, so this move was easy for him. Japan itself was kind to Daisuke, it's beauty being a great release from stress. But for him, it's time to change.
