The Great Fleet of Ansai
Palace of the Administration
The Ansai govern themselves with a large administration of elected officials. Every Ansai of age can vote in the yearly elections. There is no tolerance among the citizens for government officials that are incompetent. Typically a body hits the water, so there's never a need for voting anyone out. The ship itself is large, and attached to several of the market ships and residential ships.
The Floating Market
The floating market is where the majority of goods are traded within the fleet. It consists of several broad ships with huge decks that serve as a market. The trade goods consist mostly of fish, and other tools made from the fruit of the sea.
The Residencies
The majority of the Ansai live on these ships going about their daily lives, fishing, crafting goods, and practicing their arts. Most Ansai live on their own ship with their family members and follow around the rest of the fleet. Many will add on to their ships to make more room for more family. Ansai ships are usually constructed of whatever wood can be acquired when the entirety of the fleet makes landfall.
The Lotus Fleet
The Lotus Fleet are the warships that defend the Great Fleet of Ansai. The Lotus Fleet is led by the Battlecruiser Kongou, a massive pre-modern warship that was rumored to have once flown in the skies above the fleet and rain fire and death onto the fleet's enemies. It has fallen into disrepair due to a lack of required materials that can't be found at sea or along shorelines.
