To the south, the tropical Andai Kingdom borders the sea.
After the Sakura Prayer nation relocated, its ships moved into these waters as well.
As a former island nation, the seafaring and shipbuilding industries had always been Sakura Prayer's national industrial advantages. In the past, these sectors served as pillar industries, creating a massive trade surplus for the country.
However, after the "earthquake rule," Sakura Prayer's factories and industries almost all sank along with its islands. Although some talent in related fields was transferred, starting over from scratch on new, barren land was not so easy.
This was not a problem unique to Sakura Prayer. Even powerful nations like Soloma and North Star experienced significant industrial decline during the era of the Apocalypse Rules.
Yes, decline, not progress.
