Military Staff Committee of the Grand Marshal

The Military Staff Committee of the Grand Marshal (MSCGM), also known as the Grand Marshal's Military Staff Committee or Military Staff Committee, is a pseudo-organization established by Borealis Norsoutha III with the intent of helping him in doing his paperworks as the 115,115th Grand Marshal of the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth. Initially composed of his friends, it soon evolved into a small governmental organization divided into two core structures: the Command Staff, which puts into law the ideas and policies, and the Support Staff, which provides proposals to the Command Staff.
==History==
The MSCGM was formed a few months prior to the start of the Reformist Wars on several medieval fantasy worlds by Grand Marshal Borealis Norsoutha III, who selected friends and colleagues to become members of a nascent organization dedicated to assisting him in paperworks as well as decision-making processes. After having difficulties in signing paperwork due to it being a major headache, Borealis III decided to form a small organization involving him and four friends/colleagues of his: rear admiral Ushanka Zoborov, crown princess Pina Co Lada, captain 3rd rank Wilhelmina Heinrike von Gebauer zu Berlichingen-Weizenbaum, and corporal Scarlet Rangers; these four Novayan military personnel have already graduated from the Eye for Talent program and have known Borealis III last year.
After being invited to help him with paperwork, the five agreed to form a five-person organization dubbed the Gang of Five. After the Reformist Wars, the Gang of Five would later receive information from members of the Federal Intelligence Service, in reality leaked by FIS agents operating under Lord Admiral Borealis I's orders, of the First Order preparing to take over Galaxy Foxtrot-Foxtrot-Alpha at Universe Sierra-Whiskey-Hotel. Generalfeldmarschall Hans-Gebhard Goering, who supported the Gang of Five but never joined it just to help them from behind the scenes, suggested the expansion of the GO5 and the inclusion of committees to allow for effective decision-making process, inter-branch and -agency communications, and implementation of policies and laws. With the backing of several members of the NSC Naval Admiralty and Federal Parliamentary Assembly, the Gang of Five's membership expanded to include Eye for Talent graduates and other personnel such as newly-inaugurated High Priestess Reyna Akirasaki, the Tachibana sisters, the Outerbridge sisters, Dr. Anatoly Petrenko, and Black Guard captain Heinrich von Stauss.
The Gang of Four was renamed to Military Staff Committee of the Grand Marshal after a lengthy debate on what the name should be. Improvements, reforms and refinement to its functions included a voting system divided into a "top-down approach" voting system for everyday leisure activities, "bottom-up approach" voting system for proposals to be submitted to the Command Staff to approve and an "all-hands-on-deck" voting system where all members of the MSCGM must vote on a situation of major significance, with said voting requiring 2/3 of the MSCGM's membership's votes. On the first day for a three-month test, the MSCGM's day-to-day operations helped reduce the strain of paperworks. After a few months of passing policies, Borealis III declared it a success and ordered an "all-hands-on-deck" meeting; joining in were members of the NSC military command and government on the matters involving the First Order. In the end, calls for war against the First Order were accepted.
The MSCGM moved to the NSCS Atlas, then the flagship of Borealis III, which would serve as the mobile headquarters of Novayan expeditionary forces spearheading a Void Coalition-led multilateral expeditionary force against the First Order. After the NSCS Atlas is heavily-damaged during the Exegol-2 crisis, the MSCGM, temporarily operating under Vice Admiral Ushanka after Borealis III was incapacitated, retroactively moved to the Westminster Fortress at Elegasso and the juggernaut Monarch Fortitude, then under Lord Admiral Borealis I's command; the MSCGM soon moved back to the NSCS Atlas after it was repaired.
Before the start of the Godom War, a part of the greater One Sith War, the MSCGM moved temporarily to Coruscan and later Tokyo after an invitation from the stage girls, Tojis, idols and school idols, Symphogear Wielders, Future Gadget Laboratory and Combat Revue members brought them alongside Fleet Admiral Caden to a multilateral multi-performance, during which Borealis III developed a crush on Kaede Takagaki. The MSCGM would later lead the Black Guard in the brutal conflict at the Norsoutha-Tomoshima families' island-estate, fighting against the Yarinites and joined Schwarze Garde loyalists under Reinhilde Heydrich after Borealis III was violently stabbed by the mad Yarin, then revealed to have a parasite controlling him.
At the start of the One Sith War, the MSCGM took command of already-deployed Novayan forces in Japan until Borealis III recovered. After the One Sith War, the MSCGM moved to the main office of 346 Production at the behest of Borealis III, whose girlfriend Kaede Takagaki works for 346 Production as its flagship idol. During the one-week victory party, the MSCGM saw the addition of Aurora Buenpacifico, having graduated from the Principal Elite Guard's training program and now a member of the Grand Marshal's Elite Guard, and Hans-Gebhard Goering, now representing the NSC's military and government liaison group, into the Support Staff.
The MSCGM was also reformed to include an Affiliated Staff whose members include: Lord Admiral Borealis I, Admiral Borealis II, Admiral Richard Morrison, Admiral Heinrike von Norsoutha, Rear Admiral Alexander Wainwright, Generalfeldmarschalls Heinrike Speidel, Frederick Schorner, Angelika von Hindenburg, Augusta von Mackensen, Agatha Weizenbaum and Hans Otto Remer, Generaloberst Erika Ludendorff, General Salta Norsoutha, Schattenfuhrer Yarin Norsoutha (recently freed from the parasite's control), Oberbefehlshaber Reinhilde Heydrich, Kriegsmarschall Heinrich von Kobold, Admiral and Governess-Militant Gallia Norsoutha, Admiral Audrey Norsoutha, and Admiral Constantina Zenobia Norsoutha.
==Politics==
===Overview===
The Military Staff Committee of the Grand Marshal (shortened to MSCGM) operates under a Liberal Conservative (Big Tent)/Paternalist (Stratocrat)/Despotist (Military Junta) regime, being lead by Grand Marshal Borealis Norsoutha III. While not playable in the story, it is only playable if the 2015 Japanese Civil War start date is chosen. Outside of the Japanese Civil War, the MSCGM is playable only as a political party which would have significant influence in Japan after the Iron Triangle Crisis.
<tabber>Japanese Civil War=If chosen, the MSCGM's territory consists of the Ibaraki, Chiba, and Kanagawa Prefectures and the Tokyo Metropolis and will start with ten divisions/units consisting of the 1st Guards Panzergrenadier Division, 2nd Armored Division, 3rd Panzergrenadier Division, Kampfgruppe Lehr Division, 10th Airborne Division, 11th Airborne Division, 12th Infantry Division, 13th Infantry Division, 33rd Guards Grenadier Division, and 5th Marine Division (consisting of the 13th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, 17th Marine Expeditionary Brigade, 32nd Marine Command Regiment and 33rd Marine Command Regiment). Available air units were the 15th Air Expeditionary Force. The MSCGM also starts with 20 Civilian factories, 8 Military factories, 5 dockyards, 4 Infrastructures, Level 5 Radar Stations, and Level 5 Airbases.
If the MSCGM is defeated, all members of the MSCGM will escape but if captured and potentially executed, Saiyanese Forces will invade Japan in response, with the ones responsible for the MSCGM's capture and execution getting executed in exceedingly and graphically brutal and violent ways, afterwhich Saiyane will establish a pro-Saiyanese military government in Japan, where healthcare, education and bill costs are too high and brutal, oppressive policies will be implemented. The only way to prevent this bad ending is to allow the MSCGM to escape, afterwhich they will return with Novayan and Saiyanese military units available after six months in the Philippines.
Should the MSCGM be the victor in the Japanese Civil War and conquered all factions in the civil war, it will begin rebuilding Japan and liberalize it, thereby removing the Yasukuni Shrine, Japanese History Textbook Controversy, and Japanese Historical Revisionism spirits that so plagued Japan. After reforming Japan, the MSCGM will authorize a series of elections and, if one of the candidates won, make a few more reforms before resigning voluntarily, moving back to 346 Production's main office to continue on being involved in everyday and political activities.</font>
20 years after the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, and 20 years and seven months after the end of the Nixon City Conference, the MSCGM will undergo one last vote whether the organization will disband or not; regardless of the number of votes, the MSCGM will voluntarily disband itself, its personnel finally splitting off for greener pastures. This lasted only for three months before the 115,116th Grand Marshal, Michael Takanami Norsoutha-Tomsohima, and retired Prime Minister Wilhelm Brandt, alongside the entirety of the Admiralty, Council of the Grand Marshal, military high command and legislature brought the entirety of the former organization's personnel together and restored it, with changes such as the inclusion of new staff committees. It currently exists as a pseudo-think tank and a politically- and militarily-active organization.
The Military Staff Committee of the Grand Marshal is also a political party by Hearts of Iron IV (and other mods') standards, with its ideologies being Paternalism (Stratocracy) and Despotism (Military Junta for the Command Staff, Civilian Dictatorship for the Supreme Commander), but the diversity of ideologies (in addition to the two, these included Conservatism, Enlightened Socialism, Fascism, Liberalism, Socialism, Communism, Progressivism and Ultranationalism) makes it an ocean of colorful varieties. Despite this, each member of the Staff Committees privately hold political views pertaining to what they actually think and feel, thereby fitting the Liberal Conservative ideology the MSCGM follows.

===Military===
The Military Staff Committee of the Grand Marshal had a military in the form of the Grand Marshal's Elite Guard, also known as the Black Guard, which doubles as the personal elite honor bodyguard unit of Grand Marshal Borealis III. The MSCGM also controls the Novayan Expeditionary Force, which is stationed throughout Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Lastly, the Scarlet Crusade, originally from Azeroth, also fell under the MSCGM's command with Grand Crusader Saidan Dathrohan, High General Brigitte Abbendis and Scarlet Commander Marjhan being one of the MSCGM's Military Commanders.
