• Overview

  • A regional city in the western Kyushu region. Population: 450,000. A port development city, a composite energy city, and an experimental city for space elevators.

• History

  • Once a thriving regional core city with a population exceeding 300,000, supported by shipbuilding, tourism, and fisheries, and bolstered by the municipal mergers of the Heisei era, it faced a serious decline from the first half to the middle of the 21st century. This was due to the departure of the baby boomer and baby boomer junior generations, as well as the outflow of young people to urban areas. At one point, the population was on the verge of falling below 100,000.

  • Amidst this, a politician who had served as Mayor of Saibi, Prefectural Governor, and State Governor, and who rose to become the prefecture's first Prime Minister at the age of just 40, implemented the "New Regional Revitalization Project" during their three terms and ten years in office.

  • In 20XX, after successfully designating their hometown of Saibi City as one of the five special zones, they promptly retired from politics. They worked tirelessly to establish a comprehensive academy that would form the core of the "Education and Economic Special Zone." After seeing the university open, they withdrew from all public life and built a residence in the depths of a peninsula far from the city center, in their hometown which had become a vanished village.
