Horudika Canal

Horudika Canal (ホルディカ運河) is a city in Kozan and was the capital city of the Democratic Kingdom of Western Kozan. Founded in 1703 as Yakumograd, it was named for Queen Yukari who was the founding monarch of Western Kozan. Since the Kozanese reunification, Horudika Canal serves as the residence for the Monarch of Kozan, and the current name was named for the river of the same name within Kozan.

Horudika Canal is famed for its beauty and is a major tourist destination in Kozan.

Edo Period
Horudika Canal was founded by Queen Yukari as Yakumograd in 1703 after fleeing from anti-youkai persecution in Kozankyo. From there, she founded the Democratic Kingdom of Western Kozan with Yakumograd being the seat of the newly-founded socialist monarchy.

Meiji Period
Following the Meiji Restoration, the Monarchy of Western Kozan was abolished and the Democratic Kingdom of Western Kozan voted to dissolve into the Federal Kingdom of Eastern Kozan in an event known as the Kozanese Reunification. From there, Yakumograd was renamed Horudika Canal after the river of the same name while the city became the home of the Monarchy of Kozan in the newly reunified Federal Kingdom of Kozan.
