Japanese Commonwealth

Japan, officially the Commonwealth of Japan and the Japanese Commonwealth, is an island country in East Asia, located in the northwest Pacific Ocean. It is bordered on the west by the Sea of Japan, and extends from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north toward the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. Part of the Ring of Fire, Japan spans an archipelago of 6852 islands covering 377,975 square kilometers (145,937 sq mi); the five main islands are Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. Tokyo is Japan's capital and largest city; other major cities include Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo, Fukuoka, Kobe, and Kyoto.
Japan is among a number of territorial locations (Korea, Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin, Manchuria, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia) which saw units of the Novayan Expeditionary Force being stationed there. Tokyo, the capital of Japan, also serves as the NEF's headquarters. After the revelations of the Shinomiya affairs, however, Japan is placed under martial law to prevent socioeconomic collapse, leading to the establishment a Novayan military-guided parliamentary democratic government.

===Overview===
The Commonwealth of Japan operates under a social democratic regime. Wakano Fujiwara is the current prime minister of the Japanese Commonwealth, while Akihito is the ceremonial emperor.
Despite being led by a Japanese government, after Japan and the island territories to its east had been brought to Earth-SWI due to a faulty thaumic power plant that was warned as capable of a dangerous thaumic meltdown not so different to the Chernobyl disaster, the Japanese Commonwealth would be ruled by an Emergency Council consisting of various parties: the Novayan Expeditionary Force, Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, Ratatoskr, Asgard Electronics, Special Sword Administration Bureau, Russian Armed Forces, Korean Armed Forces, Chinese People's Liberation Army, Southeast Asian militaries, United States Forces Japan and Korea, Renemian magi, and others as well.

The Japan Self-Defense Forces (Japanese: 自衛隊, romanized: Jieitai; abbreviated JSDF), also known as the Japanese Armed Forces, are the unified military forces of Japan established in 1954. The self-defence forces consists of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the Japan Aerospace Self-Defense Force. They are controlled by the Ministry of Defense, with the Prime Minister as commander-in-chief.
After the Shinomiya affairs and eventual collapse and reformation of Japan into the Commonwealth of Japan, the JSDF have been reformed to serve the Japanese people. The reserve force is also expanded, which saw drastic increase in personnel from 56,000 to 1,300,000. As part of the reforms implemented by Prime Minister Wakano Tokugawa several new services were established:
*the Magi Service, consisting of magic users (or thaumaturges) trained in pure magical or mixed mundane-magic combat. This service is also the center of the "Magician vs Thaumaturge" debate, where one side claimed that magic and thaumaturge are one and the same while the other side stated that "magic is temporary, but thaumaturgy is eternal".
*the T-Doll Service, consisting of Tactical Dolls, robots, droids and androids. This service provides maintenance of Tactical Dolls/androids, robots, droids and drones as well as arming and equipping them.
*the Mechanical Service, which uses mechas resembling the Alexander Type-01 (frontline) and Alexander Type-02 (special operations) mechas serving as mechanical cavalry and frontline units. These mechas were the result of studies on mecha animes and several worlds in the Void where perpetual combat between the kaijus and normal folks require the use of mechas to fight them.
*the Combat Specialist Service, consisting of combat specialist and support units ranging from the Tojis to the Symphogear Wielders. Combat specialist and support units also include Terrans who have knowledge of using Originium Arts.
*the Anomalous Service, tasked with the maintenance of anomalous equipment and regulation of anomalous forces working alongside the JSDF. This is a source of contention regarding the use of anomalous weapons, especially those of mass destruction, despite the lack of eigenweapons present; this was resolved when the Geneva Convention on Anomalous Weaponry is signed, though tensions still remain due to the JSDF Anomalous Service still retaining anomalous weaponry.
