Japanese Protectorate national focus tree

Twelve days after the end of the One Sith War, the Shinomiya Affairs rocked the State of Japan, whose economy collapsed followed by the nation itself. Elements of the Novayan Expeditionary Force, stationed throughout Japan, Korea, Manchuria, Primorsky Krai, Sakhalin, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, that awaited withdrawal or involved in reconstruction efforts scrambled to impose martial law and nightly curfews; the National Police Agency and Japan Self-Defense Forces, taken off-guard, were also deployed to maintain order before falling under the authority of the Military Staff Committee of the Grand Marshal. By the time martial law and nightly curfews were strictly imposed, Japan had fallen under Novayan control/occupation.

Attempts were made to return control to the civilian government, and the first three negotiations saw progress, and preparations were made for the transfer of control to the civilian government. However a covert investigation by the MSCGM's Intelligence Committee revealed that the politicians and various government officials were part of shady deals with the Yamato Foundation and the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, who intended to restore the system that was uncovered by a joint team of Novayan and Merdinan soldiers, JSDF personnel and National Police Agency officers which led to the economic collapse and eventual fall of Japan; the fact the civilian government is filled with Shinomiya Zaibatsu-aligned and Yamato Foundation-aligned politicians and government officials did not help.

And so, the civilian government was purged of all members of the Shinomiya Zaibatsu and Yamato Foundation and populated with reformists, pragmatists and conservatives, who now answer to the MSCGM itself. Gone is the State of Japan. Begun, the Protectorate of Japan has.

This article contains the national focus tree for the Protectorate of Japan, a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy under NSC military occupation.

The first choice is Sawa Shigemori, the leader of the reformist faction and the unanimously-elected leader of Japan. His views told us that while he doesn't like the Novayans occupying his nation, he nonetheless wished to cooperate with us so that the people will operate freely.
The second choice is Tokugawa Wakano, the leader of the neutralist faction. While she is very neutral, she does syncretize ideas from the left, right and center.
And the third choice is Asari Yoshiaga, the leader of the pro-Novayan faction. He is a very eager though doormat-like politician who is willing to listen to what the MSCGM says. While being a doormat kind person, he wished to serve his Novayan overlords and will even debate with us.
