Media
The dominant language in print media is English. However, newspaper dispensers for The Epsilia are written in different languages in different cities. For example, dispensers in Kazeshima are in Japanese, while those in Shenghua and Shahai are bilingual in English and Chinese. It has also been announced that The Epsilia will start publishing a Japanese edition. The dominant language in television broadcasting is Chinese, however additional stations are broadcast by the Shenghua Broadcasting Corporation in English, Japanese, and Spanish. The regionwide public broadcasters Channel 6 and NGBH broadcast in English.
Education
The Shenghuanian educational system uses Chinese as its medium of instruction from grades 1-6, and English from grades 7-12. In addition, students in grades 9-12 are required to take a class in either Japanese or Spanish.
Transportation
Nansei-Gunto's linguistic diversity means transportation in the region needs to accomadate many different languages. For example, announcements on FLR Shenghua are made in Chinese, English, Japanese, and Spanish, while FLR Nansei-Gunto announcements outside Kazeshima make announcements in Japanese and English followed by the local language. The A63 expressway is planned to be signed multilingually in English, Chinese, Japanese, and French.

SBC HISTORY
Pre-1945: Before SBC
Before the Shenghua Broadcasting Corporation was established, radio stations based in neighboring Shahai were popular among locals. However, they became unpopular in the early 20th century when Kazeshiman forces took over the stations, essentially acting as a mouthpiece for the colonial government. The city eventually lost all Shahainese radio broadcasts in the War of Nansei-Gunto, when air raids by Itokani forces destroyed Shahai's radio transmission facilities.
1945-1963: Early beginnings
Shenghua, along with Kazeshima's other former colonies were liberated on February 29, 1945. Shenghua's residents, were finally free of the Kazeshiman Empire's restrictive control over the media, which meant they could now express themselves freely for the first time in 52 years. Shenghua's residents wanted to broadcast their thoughts with the rest of the Nansei-Gunto, and with the help of the newly established government of the Autonomous Republic of Shenghua, the Shenghua Broadcasting Corporation was established on March 30, 1945. Its first radio broadcast was made at 6pm a few days later, on April 1. Many residents thought this was an April Fools joke and shrugged it off, but there were still eager listeners who gathered around radios in the minutes leading up to the broadcast. The Voice of Shenghua (Chinese: 盛华之声, present day News Radio) signed on at FM 98.8 with the message "Today marks a monumental day in Shenghua and Nansei-Gunto's history, and we hope you'll join us on this journey as we touch minds all over the region," following the same message read in Chinese. From that day on, the Voice of Shenghua broadcasted daily from 6pm to 8pm, alternating between Chinese and English every other day.
1963-1975: Rising media influence
The Voice of Shenghua soon became a popular media source not only in Shenghua, but throughout Nansei-Gunto. As a result of rising demand, the Voice of Shenghua extended its daily airtime 3 hours earlier to 3pm. Programming from 3pm to 6pm rotated between Japanese, French, and Afrikaans each day to satisfy the demands of listeners from Kazeshima, Shahai, and Wenyanga, respectively. Radio broadcasts remained a hit for several years, with many gathering around radios every evening, although SBC never new that there would soon be the dawn of a new era: television.
