Gimbo is special because it is a land with dual ownership by both Aseom and Japan. The prefectures has its own laws, but at the same time the citizens have a double identity and they have both Japanese and Aseomese passports. Both kanwo and yen are official currencies in the island, and all official documents are offered in both Japanese and Koreo-Japanese. The island is officially bilingual and have special laws related to Japanese, its usage and its education. Both the Japanese anthem and the Aseom anthem are official anthems. A floating railway(on sea) connecting Gimbo Island, the Bonin Islands, Miyako-jima, Okinawa, Amami islands, Yakushima, Tanegashima, Mainland Kagoshima and Koshikijima is under construction. Historically, the Gimbo Island is more detached from the main island, and during as early as the 17th century, Japanese citizens from Okinawa begin migrating to Gimbo, forming the 1st wave of migration. A 2nd wave of migration occured shortly after WW2 occurred because some Japanese citizens were fearful torwards the Americans after seeing the defeat of Japan. This lead to political uncertainty and as a result, people started migrating from Kagoshima, due to a port with ships regularly visiting Gimbo(mainland) historically. During Aseom's American occupation the island remained relatively peaceful whereas the mainland has numerous protests (and even riots) occuring. Because of this, the Japanese and some Koreo-Japanese flee to Gimbo Island to seek refuge, while some decided to remain in Gimbo. The people with origins from Kagoshima carried with them their dialects, and this lead to the Gimbo dialects, especially the Gimbo Island dialect being closer to the Kagoshima dialect than to other Koreo-Japanese dialects. The people on the island reinforced both their Japanese and Aseomese identity. Some of the influence even spread to mainland(example:よっちんかったん yocchinkattan, a word originally from the Kagoshima dialect, now official in Koreo-Japanese). When Aseom became an independent country, Gimbo did not become independent at the same time, but became an unclaimed region. The people in Gimbo tried to come up with an idea that can allow people, both Aseomese and Japanese in Gimbo to enjoy their rights. Their solution is to form a dual ownership of the prefecture by both Aseom and Japan. Despite this, most affairs within the region are solved by the local Gimbo government and the Japanese government is rarely, if ever involved. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
