Imperial Republic of Shingō v. Xue Shan

**Imperial Republic of Shingō v. Xue Shan** (Shingōan: 新郷帝政共和国対シュエシャン事件, *Shingō kyōwakoku tai shueshan jiken*) was a landmark decision of the Shingōan Supreme Court that occurred in 377 G.E. In its decision, the Supreme Court held that "the fundamental human rights and freedoms" within the Constitution of Shingō applied to all individuals within the territory of the Imperial Republic of Shingō regardless of their citizenship status. This decision established an important precedent in its interpretation of the Constitution's vague and indirect wording—which frequently used the term "the people" when stating rights and freedoms.

These fundamental rights and freedoms are stated by the Supreme Court as (among other things) the rights to freedom of religion, conscience, assembly, speech, access to the courts, and a speedy and public trial, as well as the freedom from torture, cruel or unusual punishment, seizure without reason, arrest without reason, double jeopardy, and imprisonment without reason. The Supreme Court's ruling on the matter was 3 in favor and 2 against.

## Background

Xue Shan was born on the continent of Munao but had since lived a nomadic lifestyle and established residency in Ankika. On April 16, 375 G.E., he traveled to the city of Nishi-Chukyo in the Imperial Republic of Shingō and took part in a protest the following day led by ethnic Weian activists. While other protestors (who were all Shingōan citizens) were given minor charges and minimum jail time for vandalism and obstruction, Xue Shan was imprisoned indefinitely by the Nishi-Chukyo Police Department and was not released until two months later when regional activists funded a legal campaign to release him and sue the police department.
The initial court case took place in the Nishi-Chukyo Municipal Court, which cited the Consitution's vague wording and the lack of a clear precedent on the matter in its ruling in favor of the police department. Xue Shan's legal team then appealed the case to the Nishikado Prefectural Court, which then proceeded to also rule in favor of the police department. On November 2, 377 G.E., the Shingōan Supreme Court agreed to hear the case after receiving appeals from Xue Shan and his lawyers.
Kondō Cabinet

The **Kondō Cabinet** was the 63rd Government of the Imperial Republic of Shingō during the 75th session of Parliament. It was sworn in on 18 April 384, two days after the 75th National Election, and dismissed on 6 January 388 following the 76th National Election. It was preceded by the Fujino Cabinet and succeeded by the Morikawa Cabinet. Led by Prime Minister Noriaki Kondō, it was composed of members of the Reform Party, plus Yoshirō Shibata, an unaffiliated former general of the Shingōan military, and Hiroshi Satō, an unaffiliated former appeals court judge.

*Note: Shōgo Kobayashi held the positions of both Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance*
Nishikō

**Nishikō** (西港町, *Nishikō-chō*) is large port town located in the western region of Shingō's Hiraya prefecture. The town once functioned as a semi-autonomous territory prior to Shingō's annexation of the port, along with the rest of the Hiraya region, in 372 G.E. This annexation followed the conclusion of the Shingō-Sabun War, in which the town of Nishikō hosted the formal surrender of Sabun tribal forces and the signing of the Treaty of Nishikō.

The area first established political ties with Shingō in the Ankan period (around 300 G.E.), as the area was strategically located on one of the region's most popular trade routes. Nishikō was fully annexed by Shingō in the Kitayama period in an effort by the nation to assert further influence in the western seas and regions of Tōkai. Nishikō and its surrounding areas are largely comprised of peoples descended from various tribes of the Rawada region in the north of Tōkai. Consequently, the city's architecture and culture is noticeably different from that of the rest of Shingō.

The name Nishikō (西港) contains the characters for "west" and "port" and was given to the territory by Shingōan officials as a result of its geographical location with relation to Shingō. The region went by several other names prior to Shingōan annexation, the most popular of which was Lianghai (两海), which roughly translates to "two seas."
Olkawa Tribe

The **Olkawa Tribe** is a unified group of indigenous people in northwestern Tōkai. The tribe is racially similar to Shingōans but exhibits unique cultural and social practices with regards to language and religion. Much of the Olkawa's traditional lands have since come under the control of Shingō and, consequently, the majority of the tribe's members are citizens or residents of Shingō. The vast majority of Olkawan people in Shingō are residents of Hiraya Prefecture, the region which comprises much of the tribe's traditional lands.

In 372 G.E., much of the traditional land of the Olkawa people was placed under the protection and control of the Imperial Republic of Shingō, an event which would lead to the outbreak of the First Shingō-Sabun War and the subsequent Second Shingō-Sabun War, in which the Olkawa would assist Shingō in their armed conflict against the Sabun Tribe. Following the conclusion of the conflicts, the Shingōan government would offer amnesty and aid towards members of the tribe, leading to many Olkawans settling in Shingō (specifically within Hiraya Prefecture).

The Shingōan government has since implemented several assimilation programs towards Olkawan people living in Shingō. While some have commended these programs' success in increasing the economic mobility and success of Olkawan peoples, others have protested these programs' tendency towards erasing the unique cultural practices of the Olkawa.

## Reservations

There are several Olkawa Reservations located in the Imperial Republic of Shingō, all of which are found in Hiraya Prefecture. Reservations typically consist of a single village or town populated by members of the Olkawa Tribe and are separated from the rest of Shingōan territory by some sort of barrier.

### Autonomy of Reservations

In accordance with the Shingō-Olkawa Treaty of 372, Olkawan reservations shall not be subject to Shingōan law, except in cases relating to the treatment of Shingōan citizens within reservations. Shingōan citizens and police must obtain permission from the Reservation Chief(s) in order to enter reservation territory; however, the Shingōan government has the authority to demand the extradition of individuals from reservations if they have been formally charged with a crime. Reservations are classified as Shingōan territory under the private and exclusive ownership of Olkawans.

Residents of reservations are permitted to leave and to reside in other areas of Shingō. They additionally "shall not be denied access to public goods and services provided to citizens of the Imperial Republic of Shingō."
First Gotō Cabinet

The **First Gotō Cabinet** was the 5th publicly elected Government of the Empire of Shingō that presided during the sixth session of Parliament. It was sworn in on 9 January 155 after the Sixth National Election and dismissed on 2 January 159. It was preceded by the Edano Cabinet and succeeded by the Second Gotō Cabinet. Led by Prime Minister Isamu Gotō, it was comprised of members of the National Cooperation Party and other unaffiliated Ministers of State. Additionally, this cabinet saw the creation of the Ministry of Economics and the incorporation of the Department of the Navy into the Department of War.
Athelred

Athelred is the previous king of the Kingdom of Lundene. He is deceased, having (reluctantly) volunteered to be sacrificed by the newly crowned Aerthos Brightblade to Odin to help achieve victory for the kingdom against the hobgoblins in the Battle of Mordgard.

He was Aerthos's uncle.

He was also related to Uhtred, king of Bebbanburgh, whom he hated, had sold into slavery, and whom he attempted to go to war with in the events leading up to the Battle of Mordgard.

He was also related somehow to Aethelstan, king of Wintanchaester.

He was an unpopular and incompetent king, a drunk, and a wifebeater. He had murdered his own brother, Aelfred (Aerthos's father), in order to take the throne, and had been deposed by the ealdormen of Lundene approximately 6-7 years prior to the Battle of Mordgard, only being restored by the efforts of King Aethelstan and Aethelstan's chancellor Irkenwald.
First Suzuki Cabinet

The **First Suzuki Cabinet** was the 60th Government of the Imperial Republic of Shingō during the 72nd session of Parliament. It was sworn in on 8 January 375 following the 72nd National Election and dismissed on 1 January 379. It was preceded by the Sato Cabinet and succeeded by the Second Suzuki Cabinet. Led by Prime Minister Kentarō Suzuki, it included members of the Liberty Party and the Peace Party. It was the first cabinet to include the position of Minister of Health and Labor.

*\*Deputy Prime Minister is not an official cabinet position; however, its manner of appointment is similar to that of cabinet ministers so it is included in the following list of cabinet members*
Ankika Commissariat

Flag of Ankika Commissariat

The **Imperial Commissariat of Ankika**, also known as the **Ankika Commissariat**, was the civilian occupation regime of western Angelica (modern-day Iokoiaso province) from the beginning of its period of Kaldanian occupation in 327 G.E. until its liberation in 340 G.E. For the majority of the Ankika Commissariat's existence, its government would be headed by Narokan Vinasi, the Chief Governor of the region. Prior to the Kaldanian invasion, the territory of the Ankika Commissariat was situated within Iokoiaso province in the Angelican State.

The creation of the Imperial Commissariat of Ankika was officially proclaimed on September 27, 327 G.E. by Kaldanian Chancellor Franz Kohler. This announcement came after the Empire of Kaldania's full-scale invasion of Angelica, which marked the beginning of the Second Tōkai War. During its existence, the government and armed forces (many of whom were garrison soldiers from Kaldania) of the Ankika Commissariat were primarily focused on combatting partisans and guerilla forces in the region.

The Ankika Commissariat was fully overthown in 340 G.E. by pro-independence forces of the Independent State of Ankika during the Angelican War of Independence.
Anholt Coup

The **Anholt Coup**, also referred to as the **Second Kōwa Coup**, was a successful coup d'état that took place in the Kingdom of Anholt in 190 G.E. It was orchestrated and carried out by an ethnically Shingōan paramilitary group known as the Coalition for National Unity that was led by the exiled Prince Kōwa of Shingō. During the coup, armed paramilitary soldiers overwhelmed the guards of the Anholtan Royal Palace and stormed the building, eventually making their way to the royal chamber of King Ernard II and arresting him. Paramilitary soldiers subsequently declared King Kōwa (previously Prince Kōwa) as supreme monarch of the country and began carrying out a series of attacks against retaliating soldiers of the Anholtan military. Within a week, all resistance was put down and the Kingdom of Anholt was transformed into the Kingdom of Nangoku.

Following the proclamation of the Kingdom of Nangoku, large numbers of pro-monarchy citizens and members of the deposed Shingōan aristocracy would travel from Shingō to live in the Kingdom.

Roughly a month after the events of the coup, King Ernard II was released from prison and allowed to live in exile in the Arlonian homeland, located in the northeast of the continent of Erleste.

Center Party

The **Center Party** (Shingōan: 中道党, *Chūdō tō*), also translated as the **Centrist Party**, is a political party in the Imperial Republic of Shingō. The ideology of the party is based heavily on the political philosophy of Bunmei Inaba, an economist from Hirono. Inaba advocated for moderation in military spending, believing that the nation could more efficiently increase its international influence and power through economic means such as trade. Consequently, the party promotes free-trade, lowered regulations on manufacturers, and lowered public spending. The primary policy objective of the party, as stated by Inaba, is "obtaining favorable trade deals with as many regions as possible" in order to increase domestic wealth and consumption.

The name of the party comes from its members' beliefs that they represent a middle-ground between the Reform Party and the Liberty Party on the issue of colonialism and international trade relations. While the Reform Party has expressed pro-colonialist views and the Liberty Party has generally directed its focus to domestic issues, the Center Party seeks to establish beneficial trade deals with other nations and regions to aid domestic producers and consumers.

## National Elections

In the 78th Shingōan National Election, its first ever national election, the party obtained 7 seats and roughly 14% of the national popular vote. It was then included in a ruling coalition led by the Reform Party under Prime Minister Shōgo Kobayashi.

Republic of Emelad

The **Republic of Emelad** (Agosian: *Mehaliga Emelad*) was a country in southern Agosia that existed from 92 G.E. until its collapse in 253 G.E. It is considered by many to have been the predecessor to the City-state of Dal Sulo, as both countries exhibit many similarities in terms of culture, language, geographical area, and practices.

## History

The Republic of Emelad was founded in 92 G.E. after large numbers of refugees and settlers traveled south to flee the expanding colonial regimes of Windsor and Rösdal. Throughout the following years, all of Agosia would be subjected to frequent incursions and attacks by Windsor and Rösdal, and much of the continent's land would be conquered colonized in the process. Emelad would spend much of its early history repelling frequent invasion attempts by Windsor, the largest of which occurred in 95 G.E.

In 147 G.E. the nation successfully fended off attacks by Windsoran settlers in a series of border skirmishes, which allowed the Republic to further expand its territory. After these skirmishes, Emelad would find itself in a state of relative peace, with the only conflicts being isolated border skirmishes. Throughout this period, the country sought to expand its international influence via trade and established ties with Tsukimoto and Nangoku.

In 222 G.E. tensions were reignited between Emelad and Windsor after the Emeladan Navy sunk two Windsoran merchant ships that had illegally strayed into their waters and docked on one of their islands. Throughout the following decades, Windsor would implement a policy of non-stop attacks against all Emeladan merchant ships traveling across the East Tōkai Sea. These tensions ultimately culminated in Windsor's invasion of Emelad in 253 G.E. During this invasion, Windsoran forces successfully conquered the country and sacked its capital, Dal Sulo. While groups in Emelad would attempt to rebuild and reform the country after the enemy forces had left, its war debts to Windsor were too high and it lacked the infrastructure to provide itself with basic supplies. The Republic of Emelad would officially collapse by the end of 253 G.E.

The **Empire of Kaldania** (Arlonian: *Kaldanianisches Imperium*), commonly referred to as **Kaldania**, is a large country located in the south of the continent of Tōkai. The capital city of Kaldania is Freiburg, and the nation contains several other cities and towns.

## Government & Economy

Kaldania's form of government is a constitutional monarchy, in which the Emperor is given certain powers and privileges within governmental affairs. The nation may also be classified as an authoritarian state, in which opposition parties are effectively outlawed and the government is given a significant amount of control over public and private life. The Kaldanian National Legislative Assembly contains 40 representatives and is currently under the control of the National Union Party (*Nationale Einheitspartei*), led by Supreme Chancellor Martin Rüddel. The Kaldanian upper-house, known as the Council of Ministers, contains 25 members and is also currently controlled by the National Union Party. The nation has a mixed economy with little market freedom for common businesses and some market freedom for larger corporations. Kaldania utilizes the Kaldanian Mark (KM) as its primary currency. The people of Kaldania have moderate civil rights and political freedoms.

Constitution of Kaldania

## History

The modern nation of Kaldania was officially formed in 321 G.E. when Supreme Leader Franz Kohler proclaimed the transformation of the Federal Republic of Kreiland into the Kaldanian Empire.

Etymology: The name Kaldania was chosen in reference to the mythical ancient dynasty of Kaldania, which is said to have controlled a large portion of the Erlestan continent. It is unknown whether this dynasty truly existed and to what extent it exercised power in the region. The mythical Kaldanian dynasty is said to have existed around 500 B.G.E.
Federal Republic of Kreiland

Flag of Kreiland

The **Federal Republic of Kreiland** (Arlonian: *Bundesrepublik Kreiland*) was a country in southern Tōkai that preceded the Empire of Kaldania. The country was formed in 278 G.E., five years after the conclusion of the Great Tōkai War, the conclusion of which led Shingōan and Tsukimotoan forces to occupy the region and help establish a new democratic regime. The country existed for roughly 43 years until Franz Kohler, the Supreme Chancellor of Kreiland, proclaimed the reorganization of the nation into the Empire of Kaldania in 321 G.E. Following its reorganization, the country was led down a militaristic path by the Kohler regime that would lead to the outbreak of the Second Tōkai War in 327 G.E.

## Government

The government of Kreiland was structured as an oligarchy, with the head of government being the Chancellor. The first elections were held in September 278, in which Wilhelm Brüning of the Reform Party (not to be confused with the Reform Party of Shingō) was elected as the first chancellor of Kreiland. Voting was limited to regional aristocrats, many of whom had been appointed by Tōkai Faction forces at the end of the Great Tōkai War.

## Economy

The economy of Kreiland was initially aided heavily by the Imperial Republic of Shingō, which invested over one-hundred million Shingōan Yen into its markets. These investments, however, gradually decreased over the following years and stopped completely after the Kreiland-Yokoze Border Conflicts of 317.

While the country started off having a mixed economy, with relatively low levels of central planning, it gradually devolved into a state-run economy by 318. Upon becoming Supreme Chancellor of the country, Franz Kohler nationalized all military industries as well as over 90% of Kreiland's businesses.

## Collapse and Reorganization into Kaldania

The period of general unrest from 317 to 321, which was characterized by border conflicts with Yokoze and terrorist attacks by Yokozean nationalist groups such as the International Liberation Front, contributed to the Kreilandian government's large-scale curtailing of freedoms. On 23 June 318, two bombs were detonated in the capital of Freiburg, leading the government to declare martial law and imprison Yokozeans *en masse*. On 15 October 318, the personal residence of Chancellor Franz Kohler was set on fire in a likely false-flag attack, resulting in the Kohler regime purging over 70% of government officials.

In 321 G.E., Franz Kohler officially proclaimed the creation of the Empire of Kaldania and declared himself Supreme Chancellor of the country. All opposition parties are subsequently banned and elections are outlawed.

In 323 G.E., the Empire of Kaldania initiated its invasion of Yokoze, capturing the capital of Atsuki on July 28th. The following year on August 2nd, Kaldanian forces invaded the State of Angelica, beginning the Second Tōkai War.
58th Tsukimotoan National Election

The **58th Tsukimotoan National Election** was held on 22 December 368 to determine the composition of the Congress of the Republic of Tsukimoto. Voters elected 50 members to the national legislature from single-member constituencies. In this version of the Tsukimotoan electoral system, each town/village held 1 seat in the national legislature and its residents would elect, via plurality vote, one member to serve as their representative. Similarly, each ward (district) of a major city would receive 1 seat in the national legislature. Voting was restricted to men above the age of 22 who fulfilled property requirements. Results from the election were released nine days later.

Prior to the election, the incumbent Constitutional Democracy Party, led by President Kim Woo-jin had operated under a very narrow majority, holding 26 out of 50 seats in Congress. 2 of these seats, however, had been occupied by the incumbent Speaker and Deputy Speaker of Congress, who are expected to abstain from most votes. The party, therefore, relied on support from other parties to pass legislation, most notably the Libertarian Party. The years following the last national election had been relatively peaceful and stable, and the incumbent government was expected to hold onto its control of Congress.

The election resulted in the Constitutional Democracy Party gaining 2 seats at the expense of the Solidarity Party, the primary opposition. Political analysts interpreted the results as having come from the public's desire to strengthen the autonomy and control of the incumbent government. Kim Woo-jin was subsequently re-elected as President of Tsukimoto. The Labor Party surprised analysts by holding onto its seats in Congress despite being predicted to suffer a major drop. Their seat retention is attributed to the introduction of mixed member proportional representation, which gave the party's supporters (who had been scattered across the country) greater sway in elections than in years past.
374 Kaldanian National Election

The **374 Kaldanian National Election** was held in the Empire of Kaldania on 14 October 374 to determine the composition of the Kaldanian Landtag's lower house, known as the National Legislative Assembly. All 40 seats in the assembly were open for the election, but only 23 of them were contested by opposition candidates. Only permitted voters (those within a constituency given authorization to vote by the government) were allowed to participate in the election which led to the country receiving international criticism from the League of Sovereign States. Additionally, all opposition political parties were forbidden by the government to participate in the election, and only parties allied to the National Union Party were permitted to run for certain seats.

The election resulted in the National Union Party — the party of incumbent Supreme Chancellor Gilbert Janson — receiving a strong majority in the National Legislative Assembly. There was a wide margin in the number of seats won between the National Union Party and other parties in the election. The Kaldanian Renewal Party won 5 seats and the Nationalist Party won 4 seats, massively trailing the National Union Party's 31 seats. The election subsequently led to the re-election of Supreme Chancellor Gilbert Janson by the assembly.
Akaoka

**Akaoka** (赤岡町, *Akaoka-chō*) is a small, island town near the center of Chūō prefecture in the Imperial Republic of Shingō. The town's primary exports come in the form of various ores taken from local mineshafts, and the mining industry makes up a large portion of local economy.

### History:

The town is believed to have been founded around 110 G.E. for the purpose of providing coal and iron to factories and manufacturing companies around the nation.

### Etymology:

The name Akaoka (赤岡) contains the characters "red" and "hill" and was inspired by the island's small hills and red sand.
Atsuki

*This article is about the capital of the Yokoze Confederation. For the Treaty of Atsuki, see Treaty of Atsuki.*

**Atsuki** (阿月, *Adzuki*) currently serves as the capital city of the Yokoze Confederation. It is the largest city in Yokoze by far and houses the headquarters of various domestic businesses and organizations. The city contains the head offices all branches of the national government: legislative, executive, and judicial. Additionally, the city hosts the embassies of 8 foreign countries respectively. The city is noted for being the site of several major battles in the Great Tōkai War, Second Tōkai War and the Great Reclamation War. It is also noted as being the place in which the Treaty of Atsuki was signed, formally ending the Great Reclamation War and granting Yokoze national sovereignty. In modern times, the city has expanded its international presence through its hosting of the Central Tōkai Union Parliament (prior to its dissolution in 392), as well as several other administrative bodies of the international organization.

### History:

The city's riverside plains were first settled by members of the Konwe tribe around 50 G.E. as a northern military outpost. By 100 G.E. the city had become the largest in the local region and served as a melting pot for people of several ethnicities and tribal backgrounds. The city came under occupation by the Queendom of Angelica in 271 G.E. during the Great Tōkai War and would remain under Angelican rule for nearly two years until Tōkai Faction forces liberated the city in 273 G.E.

The city once more came under foreign occupation in 326 G.E. by Kreilandian/Kaldanian forces following the Kreiland-Yokoze Border Conflicts. The city, along with the rest of Yokoze, was fully annexed by the Empire of Kaldania in 332 G.E. following the conclusion of the Second Tōkai War. In 347 G.E. the city served as the site of the Battle of Atsuki, in which Coalition Forces, comprised of Angelican, Shingōan, and Yokozean troops, defeated Kaldanian forces and liberated the city. After the battle, the city served as the *de facto* capital of the Independent Yokozean Government until the signing of the Treaty of Atsuki in 16 March 351.

### Etymology:

The full origins of the city's name are still unknown; however, many believe that the name Atsuki is derived from words in ancient forms of the Konwe language meaning "the place of the moon."
3rd Windsoran Senate Election

The **3rd Windsoran Senate Election** was held on 12 February 381 to determine the composition of the Senate of the Kingdom of Windsor. The Senate is the lower house of the Windsoran Congress; the upper house is the House of Nobles who are appointed by the king. All 50 seats were contested and voters elected candidates from single-member districts using a first-past-the-post voting system.

The Commons Party maintained its majority but suffered a net loss of 3 seats. The Monarchist Party saw its seat count increase by 4, and it became the second largest party in the Senate. Political analysts attributed the Monarchists' rise to various local level political scandals involving the Commons Party as well as national level economic issues. The Centralist Union Party lost 1 seat while the Revolutionary Bloc saw no changes to its total.

The results of the election led to significant public criticism. Various large, albeit mostly peaceful, protests occurred in major cities across the country against the perceived unfairness of the results. Political analysts cited vote-splitting as the primary cause for discrepancies between parties seat counts and their total percentage of the popular vote. Supporters of the Centralist Union were especially displeased that the party obtained 3 less seats than the Monarchists despite winning a larger share of the popular vote. Henry Mayford, the leader of the Centralist Union, would go on to lead a political effort to reform the country's voting system; however, this effort was ultimately unsuccessful.

Federalist Coalition

The **Federalist Coalition** (連邦制連立, *Renpousei Renrits*u) is a political party in the Yokoze Confederation. It generally supports increasing states and municipalities' autonomy, specifically calling for state governments to be given the authority to veto national laws that conflict with their citizens' interests. The party was formed in June 393, however, it would not gain representation in the national parliament until the 14th National Election in February 395.
Global Democracy Initiative

The **Global Democracy Initiative** was a series of international policies launched by Reform Party Prime Minister Shōgo Kobayashi of the Imperial Republic of Shingō. These policies sought to foster and protect democracy across the world, and especially within countries that were geographically close to Shingō. The initiative is responsible for the democratization of Ma Telan, in which an independent and publicly-elected legislature was established.

Under these policies, the Shingōan government promised to provide large economic investments to countries that implemented democratic reforms and held free and fair elections. Additionally, the Shingōan government sent undercover overseers to monitor these elections in order to ensure that they met the thresholds of fairness. It is believed that these practices led to increased transparency and voter turnout in countries such as Kaungkinmyay and Dal Sulo.
Kreiland-Yokoze Border Conflicts

A series of border conflicts began in 317 G.E. between the Federal Republic of Kreiland and the Yokoze Confederation, both having highly unstable and nationalistic governments. The conflicts centered on disputed territories of Nakano, the Southlands, and Hirota. Tensions surrounding conflicting claims over these territories escalated as both states encouraged settlers to establish towns and other settlements within these disputed regions, leading to several informal skirmishes.

The increasing prevalence of these scattered conflicts eventually sparked an undeclared border war between the two states, in which roughly 1,000 combined troops from both states were deployed. The informal war would quickly come to an end, as, after two weeks of fighting, the Imperial Republic of Shingō would intervene by deploying several-thousand peacekeeping forces to the area and order both states' troops to stand down. Following the cessation of hostilities across the disputed borderlands, these regions were subsequently declared a demilitarized zone. This conflict would further escalate the growing tensions and attitudes of hostility between the governments and populations of Kreiland and Yokoze, which would ultimately culminate in several additional border skirmishes in 319 G.E. and 323 G.E., in which thousands of civilian and military personnel were ordered by the governments of Kreiland and Yokoze to establish themselves in the disputed territories and fight off invaders. In these skirmishes, Kreiland (which had since changed its name to the Empire of Kaldania), vastly outnumbered and outmatched Yokoze's military power and consequently began its push to conquer the entirety of Yokoze. These developments would result in the Imperial Republic of Shingō sending several volunteer military divisions to aid the Yokoze defenders. Several months later, tensions would escalate further with the outbreak of the Second Tōkai War.
Minority Interest Party

The **Minority Interest Party** is a political party in the Republic of Tsukimoto. The party's membership is comprised of a broad coalition of political beliefs and ideologies; however, it can generally be classified as socially progressive. The Minority Interest Party is committed towards official multilingualism across the country and increased support for ethnic minority communities. The party has participated in several ruling coalitions led by the Solidarity Party.

The party was founded in 359 G.E. and has achieved limited success on the national scale, with a few party members having been elected to the National Congress. Its support is primarily concentrated in the province of Limburg, a region with many ethnic minorities, including Rösdalans and Arlonians.

6th Yokozean National Election

The **6th Yokozean National Election** was held on 1 December 371 to determine the composition of the Parliament of the Confederation of Yokoze. Voters elected 39 members to the national legislature utilizing a List-PR voting system, meaning that seats are allocated based on the national party vote percentage. Parties must obtain at least 3% of the national vote in order to gain seats in the Parliament. Voting was restricted to men aged over 25 who paid at least 30 yen in national taxation. Official results from the election were released on the following day.

The Workers Party (労働者党, *Rōdōshatō*) maintained its majority of seats in Parliament, resulting in Kenzō Takeuchi being elected to a 4th term as Prime Minister of Yokoze. The Workers Party, however, would be forced to release control over one of these seats due to it being occupied by the Speaker of Parliament. The primary opposition, the National Party (国民党, *Kokumintō*), lost 3 seats.
6th Windsoran Senate Election

The **6th Windsoran Senate Election** was held on 17 February 390 to determine the composition of the Senate of the Kingdom of Windsor. The Senate is the lower house of the Windsoran Congress; the upper house is the House of Nobles who are appointed by the king. All 50 seats were contested and voters elected candidates from single-member districts using a first-past-the-post voting system.

The Commons Party, while still winning a plurality of seats, had its worst ever showing at the time and lost its majority in the Senate for the first time in Windsoran history. The party would now be forced to compromise with other groups in the senate in order to pass legislation.

The Centralist Union continued its trend of growth that had been seen in previous elections, increasing its caucus to 12 out of 50 seats. The Monarchists and the Revolutionary Bloc both saw no changes to their respective seat counts.
76th Shingōan National Election

The **76th Shingōan National Election** was held on 5 January 388 to determine the composition of the Parliament of the Imperial Republic of Shingō. Voters elected 50 members to the national legislature, 25 from single-member electorates and 25 from closed party lists. Voting was restricted to men over the age of 20 who paid at least 5 yen in national taxation annually. Official results from the election were released on the following day.

The election was largely a referendum on the leadership of the incumbent Reform Party government, led by Prime Minister Noriaki Kondō. While Kondō frequently mentioned his successes as prime minister, such as Shingō's victory in the Ganak Plains War and the revitalization of the military, he received criticism for his lack of progress in combatting rural poverty and wage stagnation. He additionally suffered drops in approval after holding the Shingō Upper-House Referendum, in which his government's proposal to amend the constitution and add a second chamber to Parliament was overwhelmingly voted against by the public.

The Liberty Party held an open leadership election to decide its candidate for party leader and prime minister. Kyō Morikawa, a previous member of the Hanaoka Prefectural Legislative Assembly, emerged victorious and became the party's new head. Morikawa promised to spur economic growth by increasing trade with other countries and by launching several new infrastructure projects involving the construction of better paths and roads between cities and towns.

In a public debate held two weeks before the election in the Chūō Prefectural Assembly Building, Morikawa criticized Kondō for rising commodity prices and poverty. Kondō responded by highlighting Morikawa's lack of experience and the Liberty Party's "lack of order and cohesion" on policy goals.

The Liberty Party won a plurality of 21 seats, meaning that it would have to form a ruling coalition with other parties in Parliament. The Reform Party saw its share of seats decrease by 9, a number that came as a surprise to party officials as well as election forecasters. This decrease has since been attributed to a shift amongst rural voters away from Reform in favor of the Peace Party, which promoted rural spending and economic reform, and the Restoration Party (previously known as the Shingō Independence Party), which promoted ethnic-Shingōan nationalism and anti-elitism.
Iripa Confederation

Flag of Iripa

The **Iripa Confederation** was a country comprised of a confederated union of tribes across central and eastern regions of Mektan in northern Tōkai. Its capital city was Henampa, which hosted the country's seat of government. The Confederation was formed primarily to combat Tsukimotoan influence in the region that had drastically risen following its deployment of soldiers to the area in the prelude to the Tsukimoto-Iripa War in 377 G.E. The country's head of state was the Chief, who oversaw all affairs of the national government and issued orders to leaders of villages and provinces.

## History

The Iripa Confederation was officially formed on 12 March 377 G.E. in response to a skirmish that had occurred in the region between armed local villagers and Tsukimotoan ground forces. On the same day as its formation, the country declared war against Tsukimoto and began recruiting an army to combat the invading soldiers. This declaration would mark the beginning of the Tsukimoto-Iripa War, which would last for roughly one month and result in the Iripa Confederation losing much of its territory and paying war reparations to Tsukimoto.

The Iripa Confederation became involved in the 2nd phase of the Tsukimotoan Civil War in 395 G.E. after rebel forces retreated into Iripan territory behind the Pelen River and were pursued by Tsukimotoan forces. The Iripa Confederation refused to allow Tsukimotoan troops to enter its territory and, consequently, it was invaded and conquered within roughly 1 month. Iripan territories were subsequently incorporated into the Protectorate of Dae-Bugjjog following the end of the war.
4th Windsoran Presidential Election

The **4th Windsoran Presidential Election** took place on 3 February 391 in the Kingdom of Windsor. It was the final presidential election in Windsoran history. In accordance with national law, incumbent president Randolph Harrison was ineligible for re-election, as Windsoran presidents may only serve for a single 5 year term.

The Commons Party nominated Grayson Carlyle, a young senator with progressive views, as its candidate for president. Henry Mayford retired as leader of the Centralist Union the previous year and Kenton Leland was hand-chosen by Mayford as the party's next candidate. The Monarchist Party and the Revolutionary Bloc both option to keep their leaders from the previous election.

Grayson Carlyle was elected as the 4th president of Windsor, winning 52.6% of all votes cast. It was the smallest margin of victory for any Windsoran president at the time. Kenton Leland of the Centralist Union came in second place with 25.3% of the vote.

## Aftermath

Roughly one month after the election and the inauguration of President Grayson Carlyle, the Winslowan Decrees were issued by King Winslow II. The decrees declared the results of the election invalid and led to the arrest and life sentencing of Carlyle. The office of president was subsequently abolished, consequently making this election the last presidential election in Windsor's history.
Misaiar

**Misaiar** (Ankikan: /mɪsɑɪɑɾ/) is a town located in northern Hikahiba Danboba Province in the Independent State of Ankika. It is most notable for being one of the only settlements on the island of Kirdido, which is disputed between Ankika and the Union of Kaungkinmyay.

Residents of the town are descended from the Niyah Tribes, which used to fully control the island. Niyah groups can still be found to the west of the island within the Niyah State in Kaungkinmyay.

Currently, the town, along with the rest of Kirdido Island, is under the control of the Independent State of Ankika, which continues to maintain a small military presence on the island. The Kaungkinmyese government, however, has not given up its claims of ownership over the island.
