United Territories of Fukushi

The United Territories of Fukushi is an independent UNSC-aligned state located on the border of the outer and inner colonies. The United Territories were created in 2553 following the signing of the Nagami Agreement with united the planets of Fukushi, Hwangchu, Samorrino and Polau under a united government to form a united government based on mutual benefit. Fukushi is most well known for it's strong trade relations with fellow independent states and it's strong relationship with the UEG. 
Fukushi has a population of 476 million people, most of whom live in the Inner Colony world of Fukushi, being one of the largest independent states in the galaxy, there is a heavy focus on the export of Helium-3 as well as on their military due to fighting currently ongoing with remnants of the Covenant as well as small conflicts they have with the nearby Theban Commonwealth.
The United Territories was founded in 2553 amidst the draw down of UNSC forces in Outer Colonies as a result of the lessening grip of the UEG over their Outer Colonies due to conflicts with Covenant remnants. The colony of Fukushi, taking advantage of political power they had in Sydney thanks to their Helium-3 production, sought to gain independence from the UEG in an attempt to centralise power in the region away from Sydney. This was granted in 2553 with the United Provinces formed with the Nagami agreement.
As the Created Conflict ensued and the rise of the Banished occured that followed with the waning power of the UEG, Fukushi focused on cooperation with other independent states such as the Commonwealth of New South Wales in order to help defend themselves and broaden their trade links whilst the UEG recovers from the Created Conflict and the Banished offensive.
==History==
===Foundation===
As the end of the Human-Covenant War was met by the increasing pressure of remnant Covenant forces on the UEG, new policy had led to the withdrawal of UNSC forces from the colonies of Hwangchu and Samorrino. This caused fears over the lack of defensive capabilities of the local defence units resulting in a greater political desire for unity with the colony of Fukushi, also suffering from a drawdown in UNSC presence as the Army and Navy began basing itself deeper into the inner core leaving even some of the more outer worlds within the inner colonies with little in the way of defence from the UNSC. When the stationed 19th Army left Fukushi, moving to base itself closer to the core worlds, the remaining CIX Corps was left as the last permanent UNSC Army force within the Sayama-3 System. This desire for unity and drawdown in UNSC forces led to political action being taken by represenatives of the colonies of Fukushi, Hwangchu, Samorrino and Polau to campaign for independence with a new state based around Fukushi. 
Political campaigning, lack of funds to finance the colonies after decades of war and an increasingly aggressive faction known as the Banished meant that soon the UEG was unable to justify their continued control over the worlds of the Sayama-3 System. Thus the UEG permitted the secession of the 4 independent worlds along with a number of gas giants and moons to a new state which would remain as a protectorate of the UEG. As part of these negotiations, the 4 worlds signed the Nagami Agreement which codified the constitution of the new state and declared the establishment of the United Territories of Fukushi comprising of the 4 worlds, their moons and the gas giants of Phian-3 and Olysi. As part of the agreement with the UNSC, all infrastructure and projects would be handed over to the new government's control with control over the Helium-3 extraction facilities over Phian-3, Olysi as well as the moons of Hayeu and Calciopoli as well as control over military facilities such as the large Axe 7 Naval Station which previously housed the base for the 94th Fleet and the large Fort Greene facility on Polau.

==Government==
===Executive Branch===
The executive branch of the United Territories, also known as the Commission (New Japanese: Kyu-Bi Ryong), consists of 18 officials picked by the Prime Minister (New Japanese: Kaikaku Dochi). These commission hold important positions in government with tasks ranging from foreign policy to environmental protections. Typically there is meant to be at least 1 commissioner from each of the habitable planets and moons, although usually Fukushi holds the most members as the most populous planet in the United Territories. The Commission controls the executive powers of the state with policies directed at the behest of Parliament.
===Legislative Branch===
The legislative branch, known as Parliament (New Japanese: Zaoji Dahusei, is a unicameral body known as the House of Deputies (New Japanese: Soojin Shin-Shi) who are elected on a 4 year term. There are 863 seats within the House of Deputies with each deputy being elected to represent a district, these districts are divided based on population and area with the deputies being elected every general election. These deputies are required to register with a party as independents are not permitted in the United system. The House of Deputies is primarily required to vote on budgets, pass legislature and handle declarations of war.
===Judicial Branch===
The United Territories works on a 4 tier judicial system with appointed judges based on panels with limited government influence. The judicial system conducts affairs from the local courts (New Japanese: Chiju Hiryu) which handle issues that occur within districts including minor felonies and most civil cases, prefecture courts (New Japanese: Rodoyuken Hiryu) which handle major felonies and important civil cases whilst the planetary courts (New Japanese: Rochi Hiryu) handle the most severe felonies as well as legal decisions regarding the planetary and prefecture governments. The United Courts (New Japanese: Sansa Hiryu) is the highest legal body in the United Territories and primarily works as a court of appeals that handles the interpretation of law, legal cases involving the Commission and other various legal duties. The United Courts consists of 8 judges, picked on recommendation from the independent United Judges panel and selected with limited input by the Prime Minister.

====Fukushi====
The planet of Fukushi is the largest planet of the United Territories, is the most populated within the Sayam-3 System. Fukushi is the second planet within the system and is also the largest of the 4 habitable planets and is orbited by 2 moons. 
Fukushi contains approximately 55% of the United Territories' population as well as most of the central banking, ship building, investment and advanced production centres within the state. The United Bank is located in Nagami, home of the state's political and judicial apparatus and home of the Prime Minister and most of the population on the world. Domestic ship production is centralised at the Fukushiyama Shipyards which produced most of the domestic vessels in the Fukushi Naval Defence Component. 
====Hwangchu====
Hwangchu is the second largest planet in the United Territories and is the 5th planet in the Sayama-3 System and is orbited by 3 moons. Hwangchu is the second largest of the 4 habitable planets and is also the second more populated of the 4.
Hwangchu contains around 28% of the United Territories' population and is home to much of the United Territories' manufacturing capabilities including much of the defence infrastructure. Hwangchu is also home to the headquarters of the Fukushi Naval Defence Component which is based in the planetary capital, Ochae, as well as Kyuden 4 Space Station. Hwangchu itself is defended by 14 planetary MACs located in key positions to help the planet defend itself.

==Military==
The Fukushi Defence Force (New Japanese: Fukushi Buntai Kanbu) is the unified armed forces of the United Territories officially titled the Defence Force of the United Territories of Fukushi, though more commonly known as the Fukushi Defence Force. The FDF maintains 3 branches: The Land Defence Component (New Japanese: Saichi Buntai), Air Defence Component (New Japanese: Daizen Buntai) and the Naval Defence Component (New Japanese: Kaizen Buntai. These units, along with the Territorial Component (New Japanese: Zaibatsen Buntai, employ around 2.8% of the total population, uniquely for the era, the armed forces does not use a system of conscription due to high volunteer rates as a result of the Zaku 'Tan remnant's incursions and the very good pay and conditions of the Fukushi Defence Forces, considered the best of all the independent states with governmental support for military veterans.
