Territories of Ninjago

Ninjago initially controlled the Ninjagoan mainland (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku and Kareshu, and some other smaller islands) in the beginning of ShitCraft V and in June 2021 rapidly expanded throughout the Asia-Pacific. The Ninjagoan government incorporated several territories directly into Ninjago in form of prefectures, where some were designated "Outer Lands" (*gaichi*) for a long term colonization under military governments. Other areas in Ninjagoan possession or with significant Ninjagoan influence, are the protectorates or puppet states Ninjago set up, mainly through the Greater Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere, Ninjago also has access to areas through condominiums or special treaties via the Balance Pact.

## Legality of claims and acquisitions

Following the new era of peace after the end of ShitCraft V, Ninjago's territorial claims, occupation and administation of foreign territory has been thoroughly analyzed and questioned internationally.

### Arvidland and Guland

Ninjago has been accused of illegally occupying lands of Arvidland, as well as committing various human right's violations. According to Arvidlandian nationalist Kim Gnome-Un, Ninjago has slowly been Ninjagofying Arvidland through Arvidlandian institutions, as well as the appearance of Ninjagoan street names and Ninjagoan architecture. Furthermore, he states Ninjago's claim and direct administation of the Trans-Amur region (Ninjagoan: *Sotomanchu*), the Yellow Sea area (Ninjagoan: *Kōkai*); particularly the Liaodong Peninsula (Ninjagoan: *Ryōtōhantō*), and the Jeju island (Ninjagoan: *Seishūtō*). While some of these territories are referred as colonial expansions of Arvidland during ShitCraft IV, it cannot be said the same for the Liaodong area and the Jeju island as they belonged to Arvidland prior to ShitCraft IV.

Following the Ninjago-Arvidland Protectorate Treaty of 2021, under new League of Nations rules, Arvidland had to give up its colonial empire to recieve protection from Ninjago in prevention of making Ninjago's territory of influence too large. This perticularly meant the total separation of Korea and Northern Guland / Manchuria. Pan-Gulandian nationalists used this opportunity to spread influence and message of Gulandian unification. However, within the former Arvidlandian territory, despite the ethnolingustic lines, most had gained and still are of Arvidlandian identity. Since many of these Arvidlandians have been forced from their homes in the Ninjagoan occupied Gulandian and Amur region areas, Ninjago has been accused of violating the Ninjago-Arvidland Protectorate Treaty of 2021 and for committing crimes against humanity. While the Gulandian nationalists do not agree with the pan-Arvidlandian idea, they have also accused Ninjago for the same crimes, despite them being supported by the Balance Pact and in turn accepted by the League of Nations.

While the legality of the Ninjagoan claim of Liaodong and Jeju are questionable at best, Arvidland has made no offical counter claims nor have their leader, Leo, made any statements regarding the issue.
