Martial law in Japan

Martial law in Japan is unheard-of. In the advent of Operation Sovereign Justice and then the One Sith War and its Earth-based Godom War, Japan has been placed under limited martial law, during which reconstruction efforts commenced in earnest. But with the Iron Triangle crisis forced the Novayan Expeditionary Force's and in turn the MSCGM's hands to impose a total martial law and nightly curfews. Even after Japan was reformed into the State of Japan, Novayan martial law remain.
==Daily life in Japan during Novayan-imposed martial law==
The Japanese people's daily lives continued uninterrupted even during the Novayan-imposed martial law. Contrary to international views and to the bafflement of United Nations and foreign bodies, Novayan-imposed martial law is far more stable, less authoritarian and less violent due to a number of limitation statutes established by the MSCGM. Initially expecting violence between Novayan military personnel and Japanese protesters, foreign observers who arrived in Japan will find none of the military suppression of protests, the suspension of civil rights and civil law, nor the suspension of the habeas corpus initially expected.
Instead, foreign observers discovered that Novayan military personnel stationed throughout Japan performed regular patrols in conjunction with Japanese National Security Forces personnel. Comparisons were made between Novayan martial law and that imposed by the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces during the events of Patlabor II.
===Impact on Japanese culture and society===
The presence of Novayan forces in Japanese soil was considered controversial at first, with many believing a repeat of the Occupation of Japan. Many thought that Novayan forces would enforce their own views upon others. After a few weeks, however, Novayan forces have proven themselves to be more behaved and unlikely to cause trouble, though they do talked down Japanese civilians, especially employees and workers, for committing adultery and drinking instead of focusing on what was actually good for their health; this also extends to strict Japanese persons who desire their children to meet their high expectations, which the Novayans consider blatantly ludicrous and completely dehumanizing. Otherwise, Novayan soldiers would greet Japanese civilians with friendly expressions.
Expecting Japanese sociocultural norms to change drastically, elements of such norms had been known to be destroyed or even reformed depending on the circumstances. One of these norms was the blood type personality theory, which was being combated through an extensive education campaign initiated by the Wakano government and backed by Grand Marshal Borealis III to dissuade the Japanese people from being turned off by each other's and anyone else's blood types. Fliers, booklets, pamphlets and tracts were used alongside videos and animation to turn the Japanese away, and even religion saw widespread use to show that the links between blood types and personalities were greatly wrong.
Among the sociocultural norms that were broken by the Novayans and their refusal to acclimate themselves to them, however, was the expectations to follow Japanese speech patterns whether in private or public, the removal of footwear before entering houses as Novayan personnel were expected to always wear their military-grade footwear to perform weekly audits, the display of respect and fear towards the yakuza, and a few others. Novayan soldiers also forced local police officers to let foreigners - especially tourists - be, only levying penalties on said police officers for wrongfully arresting said foreigners.
The presence of Novayan soldiers patrolling the streets and alleyways have brought the Japanese people a form of comfort and safety. Whereas the Japanese kept to themselves and away from each other, the Novayan soldiers' encouraging them to not be shut off from the outside and to report to them for any suspicious activities seem to have a positive impact on them. It was only after being told to do so that some finally reported to the patrolling troops of such activities, leading to them discovering what was going on behind the scenes. One major incident that finally opened the eyes of the Japanese people was at Tokushima Prefecture when a squad of Novayan soldiers were informed by two parents of their missing daughter, who did not return home from school, and explained their daughter's unusual self.
Alarmed by this, the squad alarmed their battalion commander of what is happening, resulting in the initiation of Emergency Level 3 and the deployment of the 68th Olympian Orbital Drop Infantry Division and local law enforcement and military units; the daughter was found attempting to commit suicide by rope and was stopped, after which an investigation revealed that she had been in fact bullied and hazed only for being beautiful, culminating in detention and then expulsion of the bullies from high school. This incident, though ignored initially, would cause several families and their friends and neighbors to report the Novayan forces of suspicious activities, revealing what was happening behind-the-scenes through their intervention. It is through such that the Japanese people now recognize not them as overbearing enforcers of Novayan culture, but overbearing peacekeepers who were concerned for the people's well-being by encouraging them to talk to them as well as report anything unusual to them.As a result, the Japanese National Police Agency saw the wisdom of how its police officers should have done to protect and serve the people.
Despite this, it was not uncommon for a Japanese to discover that the Novayan soldiers to condemn one or more of their own. One such example is a group of Novayan soldiers who have political links to an outlawed extreme-right political party known for espousing pro-Novayan tendencies and Novayan supremacy; the group of Novayan soldiers were reported abusing a family just for looking at them by another family, who directed two platoons to intervene. The regiment commander, who received the call, eventually arrived to demote and then strip the extreme-right soldiers before sending them off to a civil-military tribunal, whose judges declared the perpetrators guilty and shipped them off to prison back in the NSC. The resulting incident caused Grand Marshal Borealis III to order an audit of the Novayan Expeditionary Force, revealing that 32% of the soldiers had ties with either the extreme left or extreme right, and only 11.58% committed crimes against the Japanese. The audit forced the Grand Marshal to discuss the matter with Prime Minister Wakano, who agreed to revise the Tokyo Security Agreement to include an independent group of civilian observers and an independent news press to report the activities of Novayan soldiers.
While Novayan soldiers were content with patrolling the streets and interacting with the locals, most would go out of their way to hand out food to preschoolers and students. But when it comes to the homeless, the Novayans' sense of family would eventually kick in as they go out of their way to build homesthese buildings were revealed to be improved versions of the Japanese danchi and khrushchevkas, which comes equipped with a few power generators in case there may be a brownout, as well as some solar panels for the homeless to move into, disregarding the bureaucratic red tapes. The soldiers would even provide security until local governments trained security guards to relieve the troops of their duties and take on their role as guards in these buildings. Novayan soldiers also go out of their way to encourage Japanese civilians not to stay by the sidelines and instead help those, saying that helping others instead of helping themselves or staying away will grant positive karma; such actions proved to be more beneficial to these civilians.
However, while the Novayan forces represent the human face, even they have their limits, especially when it comes to those who not only proved unrepentant but reveled in the crimes they perpetrated. After some criminals revealed that they actually glorify what they had done and that they do not care what others think and that they loved committing the same crimes over and over again, the locals became shocked when the Novayan forces, after trying to hold their anger, finally snapped and proceeded not to give such criminals a quick death, but to torture them in a way that left even said criminals traumatized to the point of suicidal. The realization that the Novayans can become vengeful if pushed too far convinced many to not provoke themsome Novayan soldiers confirmed that even what nasty deeds they would do to show there are bigger monsters outside would hurt them, to the point they were willing to express how they felt and how they wish to prevent something like that from happening again, with the Japanese government recognizing the need to prove to monsters that bigger monsters were out there.According to anonymous sources, the torture sommeliers were authorized by the Japanese government somewhat to handle the more nastier aspects of Japanese society in order to prevent a reoccurrence. The only exceptions were the 1115th Guards Panzergrenadier Division "Tormentors", 10567th Guards Airborne Division "Ptolemaios' Mages", 666th Volunteer Panzergrenadier Division "Dark Watch", 2186th Special Operations Warfare Division "Underground Tunnelers", and 2955th Guards Infantry Division "The Minotaurs", who specialize in ethically-questionable operations not even mainstream Novayan troops wouldn't even do. The federal government would later implement a national shitlist of certain individuals and things.This national shitlist has entitled scumbags (Karens and Kyles), racists, ethnic nationalists, ultranationalists and reactionaries, rapists, pedophiles, human traffickers, and others.
====Novayan stance towards the yakuza and crime====
The Novayans' refusal to respect and fear the yakuza had shocked the Japanese nation, whose people believed that their arrogance would bring about their downfall. As it turns out though, the Novayans do not fear the yakuza as the Japanese citizenry thought them to be as, during the 25-day captivity of a Novayan schoolgirlshe was transferred to a Japanese high school as part of a government program to introduce foreign transferees to local schools at the hands of four male local civilians,who alongside their accompliaces committed not only rape but physical harm her she was able to send out a message by blinking her eyes to send out the Morse code "T-O-R-T-U-R-E" and "H-E-L-P" that alarmed a few visiting Novayan soldiers. The resulting situation saw the arrest of the four Japanese and their accomplices, and when the trial saw them guilty, Prime Minister Wakano and Grand Marshal Borealis III both annulled their sentences and instead launched a more heavier trial wherein the guilty pleas were denied and condemned and, instead, saw the sentencing of the four and their accomplices life imprisonment. When the parents of the perpetrators begin victim-blaming the schoolgirl for the trouble she went through, Novayan soldiers arrested said parents for showing great disrespect and and, with the assistance of the local criminal court, sentenced said parents to jail for six months, followed by community service for one thousand hours.The parents were warned that any infractions committed by them will worsen their charges.
An in-depth investigation was ordered by the Ministry of Justice to determine whether or not the four juveniles and their accomplices had done more crimes. With assistance from Novayan thaumaturges and military police, it was discovered that they belong to a yakuza group which engaged in human trafficking as well as forcing people to pay for protection. As a result, Novayan soldiers were given the go-ahead to launch raids with prophetic, legal and police support, raiding areas of opportunities where such group members were present. The unexpected rapid movement and assault of the Novayan forces to dismantle the yakuza group in the Shizuoka Prefecture alarmed every other yakuza groups nationwide and shocked the citizenry completely, now fully aware of the Novayans' refusal to bow down to mere criminal groups and willingness to demonstrate they were not even afraid to commit themselves to shattering their hold. Fearing reprisal from the Novayan military might even in peacetime out of fear that word of their more heinous activities could come to light, many yakuza groups and organized crime groups began abandoning said heinous activities in order to present themselves in a better light.
==Levels==
Similar to the American DEFCON system, martial law conditions vary between many commands and have changed over time, and the Novayan government uses exercise terms when referring to the DEFCON levels during exercises. This is to preclude the possibility of confusing exercise commands with actual operational commands. Unlike DEFCON, martial law can be on the local, provincial, sub-regional, regional, or even continental level based on the circumstances and the severity of such.
Martial law condition	Exercise term 	Description 	Readiness
Martial Law Level 1 	FULL LOCKDOWN 	A full lockdown, with Novayan forces increased to help lock down every village, town and city. Curfew is imposed both in daytime and nighttime as Novayan and Japanese forces would detain and interrogate violators before sending them back home with stern warnings not to do it again. Armed Novayan and Japanese forces were fully geared up and would investigate households. Outposts, checkpoints and barricades were set up, and soldiers were grouped in three squads. To ensure civilians won't starve or even cry/worry about their rights during times of trouble, emergency services were placed under a civil-military bureaucracy while a number of civilian personnel provide civilians with food, water, clothes and medicine as well as games, manga, et cetera; such commodities were rationed and each household were provided ration books. To help those who have jobs, they were provided tablets and computers by which they could continue working on their jobs, as well as other equipment they needed. 	
Martial Law Level 2 	WATCH ON THE RHINE	A drastic increase in Novayan reserve forces followed by deployment of the Japanese National Security Forces. Intelligence is at an all-time high and high-level security measures were implemented. More light vehicles were brought in while heavy vehicles arrive in limited numbers, and helicopters and combat aerospacecraft were deployed to keep watch for any signs of trouble; nighttime curfews were implemented. Civilians were ordered to remain in place, while those outside would be told to return home; those unable to return to their homes were given a ride by any available motorized units. An increase in troop numbers at public places such as schools and hospitals, and soldiers were authorized to equip riot gear, CBRN and counter-terrorist equipment. A number of Internal Security and Special Operations units were deployed to help respond to any situations as well as investigate rural and underground places. A limited number of checkpoints and blockades were established, and households were investigated by Japanese personnel and a few armed Novayan soldiers for anything that would cause problems.	
Martial Law Level 3 	SENTINEL'S WATCH 	A limited increase in Novayan reserve forces, followed by a limited deployment of the Japanese National Security Forces. A high-level intelligence watch and heightened security measures were implemented, though light unarmored and armored combat vehicles were brought in to help ensure that Novayan and Japanese forces would respond to any event that would arise during the heightened tensions; limited nighttime curfews were implemented. Japanese civilians were told by patrols to report to the local civil-military authorities in case of trouble and bring their children home should trouble started brewing. Troops were stationed at schools, hospitals and other public places in limited numbers, and are equipped with riot gear and limited CBRN and counter-terrorist equipment, with commercial and industrial sectors investigated, continuing in Levels 2 and 1. A small number of the Internal Security and Special Operations units were deployed. A few checkpoints were set up, and Japanese civil-military authorities perform household investigations. 	Japanese National Security Forces and Novayan military deployed limited number of troops and vehicles.
Martial Law Level 4 	DOUBLE TAKE 	While similar to Level 5, Level 4 has the Novayan soldiers equip their combat helmets at the first signs of trouble i.e. protests and civil discontent resulted from events related or not to politics and events. In this level, there would be a low-level intelligence watch and locally-based strengthened security measures, while still allowing the Japanese to continue with their daily lives. Internal Security and Special Operations units were to be deployed on a case by case basis. 	Controlled normal readiness
Martial Law Level 5 	DRESSED DOWN 	The lowest state of readiness. Novayan military personnel, and later Japanese military and police personnel, follow a "dressed down" policy where minimal equipment is used, with the exception being their weapons; helmets were worn on either shoulder or knee, and no combat shades were worn. Novayan soldiers were known to be very friendly and have no qualms talking to Japanese civilians, which gave the latter a sense of security and safety in them and the courage to interact with them. 	Normal readiness

===Iron Triangle Crisis===
The Japanese archipelago is administered by the 1st Novayan Army Group during the Iron Triangle Crisis, brought upon by the Iron Triangle alliance (consisting of the Japanese government, Yamato Foundation and Shinomiya Zaibatsu) attempting to restore the glory days of Japanese imperialism. As a result, 70% of the 115th Novayan Army Group that had been awaiting withdrawal has been forced to remain for the time being.
