Japan, officially the State of Japan and later the Commonwealth of Japan after the Shinomiya affairs, is an island country in East Asia located in the northwest Pacific Ocean. It is bordered by the Sea of Japan to the west and extends from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. Part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, Japan comprises an archipelago of 6852 islands covering 377,975 square kilometers (145,937 sq mi); the country's five main islands, from north to south, 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.
==Culture and society==
:See here: Culture of Japan
After the arrival of the voidwalkers and refugees from medieval fantasy worlds and a few modern fantasy Earths and from Terra, Japanese society would find itself upended by the arrival of Novayans, Lordaeronians and Higashians: the Novayans' militarism brought about fears of a resurgent Japanese empire, while the religions of the Lordaeronians and Higashians brought upon a religious shock. After the end of the One Sith War and the Godom War, the Japanese people have come to accept and gotten used to the Novayans' militarism and the presence of the Scarlet Crusade, who were provided a few bases from which they will operate, and have considered the Higashians as if they were a part of Japanese society due to similar cultural and social practices.
After the Shinomiya scandal and reformation of Japan, Japanese society was mostly affected yet more or less the same, but after Novayan forces took control of the government to restore stability and order and reform Japan (either as the Protectorate or the Commonwealth of Japan), it experienced change under the MSCGM's control. Among the changes included a more inclusive environment, strong, resilient communities, exposure of the Japanese people to their imperial past (and subsequent shock upon learning of what they have done), and a much more efficient, competent and fair government.
