**Johanian Ninjago**, officially the **United Nations Protectorate of the Johanian Occupied East** (**PJOE**) was a client state and protectorate of the United Nations stretching from East Asia, to the New World and eastern Africa. The state conisteted of formerly Johano-occupied Ninjagoan territory, and for a time was inhabited by the greatest amount of Ninjagoans in total. After the dissolution of the Johanian Republic the occupied territory entered a legal grey zone. Since the majority of the former Johanian states had claimed independence and the others had proclaimed their loyalty to the Vaushist Party and its government-in-exile; the Vaushist State. This ambiguity resulted in Orochi attempting to annex the territories to its growing empire, although this was prevented by the former Johanian President Myohani, who asserted that the Johano-occupied Ninjagoan regions should be regarded as a former Johanian Federal State. The United Nations of Shitcraft thus concluded that Johanian Ninjago should for the time being be a UN protectorate with local democratic legal infrastructre. This lead to the various newly formed communes adopting a Johanian-style form of governing, with a semi-direct-democratic upper house and strong federalism largely inspired by Zaneism. The only UN-direct-controlled municipalities are some cities who claimed loyalty to emperor Kareastikuru.

## Politics and government

Throughout its existence, Johanian Ninjago was never an independent sovereign state, but under some form of occupation. During its inception, the armed forces of the Johanian Republic where present, although they allowed for local democracy in accordance with Zaneist principles. Later, the state was turned into a protectorate of the UN, whose presence enforced the UN's programme of "political deradicalization"; all previous socialist elements of Johanian Ninjago were removed except for the national anthem. Due to the fact that Johanian Ninjago never proclaimed its own statehood, it never had a constitution of its own, but rather relying on its occupiers for constitutional matters. This resulted in the Empire of Ninjago's constitution still being *de jure* enacted, which technically meant that Johanian Ninjago's official name was the **Empire of Ninjago** according to its own laws. The UN, however, used the official name of *United Nations Protectorate of the Johanian Occupied East* during its governance of it as a protectorate; Johanian Ninjago arguably had two official names throughout its time under UN occupation. A large portion of Johanian Ninjago's citizens retained their allegiance to Kareastikuru and his empire; internally the name *Empire of Ninjago* was commonly used.

Similar to the State of Ninjago, Johanian Ninjago was a constitutional monarchy with Arenchao as its intial emperor, and following his abdication, the throne was given to Dareth II.
