I know we've been making lots of drastic changes to the game and the world, but the world is very much obviously unfinished; see our lack of name. You'll have to pardon the growth spurts.
Up until now, a planet called Ethra has orbited the LCO, threatening us with their fear and revenge-induced wants for genocide. Also, Kiwi provided lesser gears and did things to make us like them, enforcing this with their Kiwi officers.
Kiwi and Ethra are similar in far too many ways for them to be separate entities, so I'm rewriting history. Planet Ethra is gone, along with the Ethran Military Armada.
Kiwi is a business. The CEO of Kiwi noticed how jewel hunters needlessly stole shards from one another for personal gain, while many villages failed to find any shards for tribute. Villages that somehow, with constant work and boundless luck, gathered a satisfactory tribute, were ransacked by pirates and jewel hunters, then stormed by Nobunaga for their disobedience to him.
Through selling the Jewel Gear along with many other amazing products, Kiwi accumulated enough funds to assemble an army, which they use to enforce laws they created.
Kiwi handles all Nobunaga-LCO transactions. They pick up tributes, females and food. They order villages and islands to build statues, with exact details, etc. Since they handle the business of the God of the LCO, according to their policies, they assume that all denizens of the LCO are their beloved customers. Everyone is issued a Customer ID (although many Chaos Islanders have ditched theirs).
According to Kiwi, it is against the law for their beloved customers to jewel hunt or partake in acts of piracy. These laws are to insure the efficient gathering of shards, improving chances of assembling satisfactory tributes.
Kiwi, however, will allow its beloved customers to jewel hunt if they file for a jRewards Card, but Kiwi requires payment (shards) in exchange. Not 100% of your earnings, but some. This is to further insure the assembling of satisfactory tributes.
With a jRewards Card, you can also purchase better weapons, such as metal-based boats, airplanes, automatic firearms, etc.
Traditionalist Jewel Hunters still sail sea chariots and other wooden models, and although they have complete freedom and "haven't sold their soul to Kiwi," the jReward customers fly circles around the chariots, gun down their crewmates and jolly roger.
According to Kiwi policy, if a beloved customer partakes in acts such as piracy and unauthorized jewel hunting, the customer seeks enrollment to a colesseum camp, and wishes to submit themselves to it fully. Customers who show customer id's can go and watch events in the colesseum camps.
Lastly, Kiwi enforces is laws and policies with its ever-growing army. They also drill in Antica, The Llamahakan Desert and various other places.
And that is that.
The last change being made presently, is that it is agreed upon by most people in the LCO the that Lazy Crescent Ocean is at the eye of a giiiiiiiiiiiiiant hurricane.
That is all.
