The name "Sol-Nippon" is a portmanteau of Soleanna & Shin-Nippon-Teikoku. With 'Sol' being deprived from Soleanna and 'Nippon' being deprived from Shin-Nippon-Teikoku (Commonly referred as, Nippon); Combining the two resulted in what is 'Sol-Nippon'. Whilst, the populus of Sol-Nippon are denoted as 'Sol-Nipponese', which is a play on words of Soleanna & Shin-Nippon-Teikoku's native demonyms.
The founding of Sol-Nippon came to be upon the marriage of Lawrence of Soleanna & Mizuki of Nippon, which in subsequent established a personal union between the Kingdom of Soleanna & and the Kingdom of Nippon. Although the wedded couple had decided to further the union into a real union upon the birth of an heir. Which would prove beneficial to both of the island faring nations according to each nation's statistical experts' conclusions, granted would result in present-day Sol-Nippon.
