Protectorate of Japan (Novayan Domination)

The Japanese Protectorate, also known as the Novayan Protectorate of the Japanese Archipelago, was a military protectorate formed from the ashes of the State of Japan and later an independent nation under the leadership of its Lady Protectress.
==History==
Before and during Operation Earthfall, Japan was a major economic powerhouse in the regional and international scene, and later constitutes a fraction of Earth's industrial capacity. Today, with Japan lying underneath the New Novayan jackboot and a military protectorate rising from its ashes, the Admiral-Protectress watches over the domain she received with an eagle's eye.
Japan was among those brought low by the war, and the Grand Marshal of the New NSC saw fit to see that the fallen nation will soon reclaim what had been lost, rise again, and be remade into a glittering metropolis of the Novayan Empire.
But there were those who oppose the military occupation. A loose coalition of Japanese and American groups sought to free their nation from the clutches of the Admiral-Protectress, but due to the prospect of an immediate repercussion will have to make do with revolts and uprisings, if they could get the occupation forces exhausted.
==Starting Situation==
The Japanese Protectorate can be formed after Japan and Earth were occupied by the New Novayan Stellar Commonwealth. Its territory and industry will vary depending on what year it is formed and its development during Operation Earthfall.
===Military===
The Novayan garrison in Japan were similar to those in numbers used and deployed by the Manehattan Protectorate, the Japanese Protectorate's very inspiration (and carbon copy): the protectorate starts with 22 divisions, with only 48k manpower deployed and none in reserves; most divisions were extremely weak garrisons of one battalion each; three were standard infantry divisions in the form of brigades, with only two being motorized.
Like Manehattan, these units were enough to handle the resistance.
==Gameplay Mechanics==
The gameplay mechanics matches those of the Manehattan Protectorate, with the exception of launching a full-blown revolt and three differences.
The first difference is Japanese Expansionism, which unlocks the following after completing A Novayan Japanese Identity? focus:
*"Acquisition" - to acquire Korea, Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin, Kamchatka, Alaska, and Hawaii.
*Mandatory - to puppet countries, acquired during "Acquisition".
Another difference was the focus tree after the Dominion of Japan became independent, where instead of choosing one of two exclusive focuses, the player can go for both.
And the third difference was a focus tree related to religion itself, more specifically the major religions of Shintoism, Eosphorism, Buddhism and the Cult of the Loop, and the minor religions of Abrahamism,a catch-all term for the Abrahamic religions Taoism, Confucianism, and the Bahai Faith. With this focus tree, religious freedom would be granted, but it would be Shintoism and Eosphorism that would benefit from their reformations in Japan as the former would establish a strict formal hierarchy and adopt scriptures, while the latter was incorporated into the Japanese pantheon as Amaterasu's equal.
==Politics==
===General Overview===
The Japanese Protectorate operates under a Fascist (Stratocratic Fascist)/Supremacist (Autocrat/Stratocrat) regime. Admiral Borealis Katharina Hildebrandt Norsoutha was the Lady Protectress of the titular archipelago and, by far, the rival and friend of General Lilac Tachibana, Lady Protectress of Manhattan and Eastern America.
