Hatsunia: imagining a more futuristic Japan-like country (with Miku as a major cultural icon)

[mikusingularity]

For an overview of what Hatsunia is about, please read this page first.

Wiki page

Hatsunia is an imaginary Miku-themed country, but there's more to it than that. It is based on the notion of Japan as a "futuristic wonderland."

I love the design of the new country. There are so many little Easter eggs in it!

 

[peaches2217]

I lost it at Hokkaito.

I saw "Moeji" chocolate bars in KEI's "unofficial" Miku manga, so I thought that was the perfect name for Hatsunia's Meiji equivalent.

Also, Hatsunia is intended to be a more benevolent antithesis to Imperial Japan's brutality and oppressiveness, so it is part of the Mutual East Asian Cooperation Union (a genuine "co-prosperity sphere"). They have a cultural expo every year.

I kinda want to see a historial video on Hatsunia. Maybe something like Squirrel Monkey's retro documentary videos?
Example:

It's not that I'm not a Vocaloid fan, but I'm missing a lot of the easter eggs ;~;

Like is Fukaya a reference to Fukase or what?

I didn't want to make Hatsunia only about Miku/Vocaloid (and I'm not really familiar with other Vocaloids to be honest). Fukaya is a reference to a city with a negi-themed mascot.

Yonago and some other prefectures are also references. And Yonago City had a collab with Miku, too!

First launch of the Hatsunese Space Program:

A space channel 39 reference would’ve been golden.

Hatsunese robotics (other than HRP-4C type androids) probably look like this
