[ Pedants are welcome, especially when Midnight's still learning Yanese! He's the sort that sees failure as a chance to learn. (Also, he doesn't mind what he's called, so long as he's called on. Slow wink.) ]

Thank you! I'm working for a company with close ties to the Yan-Lungmen government, but I've never tried picking up the language until very recently. I've much to learn.

[ Much of the Yanese he hears around the landship is spoken with the Lungmen dialect. Someone who speaks national Yanese is different from what he's used to, but still very helpful. (Mandarin versus Cantonese, naturally.) ]

None of those names are familiar to me, but I've found that I'm in the minority in that respect. I've heard tell of others speaking of "Japan" in terms that are very similar to my home nation of Higashi, but as to where and how the similarities begin and end, well... I haven't the faintest idea.
