#### **Government**

The United Provinces of the Fire Republic (火州の合衆国, "Kashū no Gasshūkoku" or "United Provinces"), also known as the Fire Republic (火州, "Kashū", Viz: "Fire State") or simply the Land of Fire (火の国, "Hi no Kuni"), is a federal parliamentary republic comprised of several provinces which have semi-autonomy as well as a number of colonies. It is led by the democratically elected governor who is called the Chancellor who resides in the capital Ōujisama City. The country is home to a ninja settlement once known as the Leaf Village but in modern times called Leaf City.

(1.) **Chancellor** (首相, "Shushō", Viz: "Prime Minister")

The Chancellor is the leader of the Fire Republic. They are the commander-in-chief and chief governor of all provinces, territories, states and possessions abroad and domestic. This person is tasked with overseeing the welfare of citizens, approving law and preserving the culture and power of the Republic. The Chancellor has the ability to decree temporary law which can be disputed by the Fire Parliament and or the Supreme Court of the Fire Republic.

(2.) **Vice Chancellor** (副学長, "Fukugakuchō", Viz: "Vice Minister")

The Vice-Chancellor is the representative of the Colonies of the Fire Republic also known as the Governor of the Colonies. They are tasked with appointing Directors of each colony which must report back to them. It is their job to represent the interests of the colonies to the government of the Fire Republic.

(3.) **Governor** (知事, "Chiji")

A governor is a member of the Fire Parliament. Their job is to represent the interests of the members of their provinces, the six provinces of the Land of Fire. Within the Parliament, they along with the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor propose, write and sign ideas into law. The Hokage is the governor of the Hokage Province.

(3.5.) **Fire Parliament** (消防議会, "Shōbōgikai")

The Fire Parliament is a collection of governors throughout the Fire Republic, including the Hokage who is the governor of the Hokage Province. There are 7 governors; each of their votes equal to a single vote by the Chancellor. The Chancellor can veto any majority vote by the Parliament but it would take 7 Parliament votes to veto a decision made by the Chancellor. The 6 provinces of the Land of Fire each have a governor. All of the Fire Republic's colonies are represented by a single governor known as the Vice-Chancellor who is also apart of the Parliament making up 7 members. Governors are voted on in their provinces by anyone 16 and older. The Vice-Chancellor is chosen by the 6 governors and the Chancellor. If the Chancellor should become incapacitated, die, or resign they will be replaced by the Vice-Chancellor. If the same should happen to him or her the succession shall go as described: Governor of Rekka, Natsu, Taika, Nikkō, Kogeta, Hokage.

(4.) **Supreme Court of the Fire Republic** (火州の最高裁判所, "Kashū no Saikōsaibansho")

A justice system that interprets law within the Republic. The representative of this court is chosen by the Chancellor; such a person is known as the Fire Magistrate (火治, "Hichi"). This individual appoints the chief judge of each province and is responsible for judgments against governors as well as overseeing Abuse of Power disputes charged against the Chancellor. Difficult to tackle or complicated disputes might also be sent to the Supreme Court for judgment. Governors reserve the right to veto decisions made as well as the Chancellor unless such decisions are charged against them.

## **Armed Forces**

**Fire Republic Armed Forces**

(火州軍, *"Kashū Gun"*, Viz: *"Fire Republic Military"*)

The ancient military forces of the United Provinces of the Fire Republic which was founded 1,600 years ago. It consists of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines Corps, and Coast Guard. The Chancellor of the Fire Republic is the supreme leader of the armed forces and the regulator of its military power. He or she appoints the Defense Minister (防衛大臣, *"Bōeidaijin"*) who acts as the secondary leader of the armed forces. Said person directs the Department of Defense (防総省, "Bōsōshō", Viz; "Bureau of Defense") which is an ancient executive department of the Land of Fire charged with coordinating and supervising all agencies and functions of the government concerned directly with national security and the Armed Forces. Not only does it have the highest budget of any military in history, but the Department is the largest employer in the world with nearly 9 million active-duty servicemen and women. The Department of Defense is headed by both the Chancellor and the Defense Minister.

The Hokage is a general in the Armed Forces and is tasked with overseeing the Hidden Leaf Army, though does not possess full dominion over their deployment and engagements.

## **Department of Defense**

(防総省, "Bō Sōshō", VIZ; "Bureau of Defense") is an ancient executive department of the imperial government in the Fire Empire, charged with coordinating and supervising all agencies and functions of the government concerned directly with national security and the Imperial Armed Forces. Not only does it have the highest budget of any military in history, but the Department is the largest employer in the world with nearly 3 million active duty servicemen and women. The Department of Defense is headed by both the Fire Emperor and the **Supreme Commander** (崇高主謀, "Sūkōshubō", VIZ; "Noble Commander"), a high-level head who reports directly to the throne of the Fire Empire.

The headquarters of the Department of Defense is in the capital city's military base, Chūgūhonō.

## **National Defenses**

The Fire Republic's defenses are managed by the Shinobi Coast Guard with direct oversight from the imperial government. In the Coast Guard, there is a unit known as the Core (中核, "Chūkaku", VIZ; "Nucleus") that handles and cares directly for the Jūyonkaisō Barriers over the Land of Fire and its colonies. It is this unit that keeps tabs on the Yin half of the Kyūbi.

(州統計, *"Shūtōkei"*)
The provinces of the Fire Republic can be listed below with the governors and population listed.

**Colonies of the Fire Republic**
(火州群体, *"Kashū no Guntai"*, Viz: *"Fire Republic Colonies"*)

For over a thousand years the Land of Fire has been a colonial power. It has dominion over other nations and in the past has even granted them complete assimilation into the country, though it has been hundreds of years since that has ever occurred. The colonies are governed by the Vice-Chancellor but can only be acquired by the Chancellor. Each acquisition will see to it that a Director is installed who will report directly to the Vice-Chancellor who reports to the Parliament and the head of the country. The Director of a colony is generally a figurehead and or an individual with loyalties to the Fire Republic. Each colony is expected to provide 5% of its total population to the Fire Republic Armed Forces and each person enlisting and serving as a soldier becomes a full citizen of the Republic within 5 years of service. Their immediate family is also granted citizenship. Otherwise, colonial subjects can pay a fee of 炎500,000 sekka to become full citizens.
Through the Colonial Culture Commission, the Land of Fire collects sensitive intelligence from each land it acquires and archives it for personal use. This includes historical data, secret techniques, and military assets.== **Colonial Population Statistics** ==

• 100 of the ships stationed in **Sekai Sea** left their positions into the Salo Gulf and Zubunure Sea, 10 in the gulf and 90 in the sea.

• One Aircraft Carrier accompanied by a carrier-group sailed into Rimawari Ocean.

• 10 modern class military icebreakers patrol the four cloud islands in the northern continent.

• 1 Aircraft Carrier patrols the South Mumei Ocean.

• 1 Aircraft Carrier patrol the Hot Water Bight.

• 1 Aircraft Carrier in Chigiri Sea

• 1 Aircraft Carrier patrols the lake separating the Land of Milk and Land of Swamps.

• 1 Aircraft Carrier joined the other ships in Ishi-ka Bay (+Hen, Myo and Chuko Islands).

• 1 Aircraft Carrier joined the ships in (10) Hoden Gulf while 20 patrolled East Rimawari Ocean with ice breaking military capabilities.

• 2 Aircraft Carriers are stationed in Pickle Gulf and patrol through the Dragon Gulf.

• 1 Aircraft Carrier entered Nagi Sea.

• 2 vessels in Hoppo Sea

• 10 vessels patrol Mumei Ocean

• 10 vessels patrol Sabaku Sea

All Aircraft Carriers are accompanied by carrier groups. All ships patrol and survey the lands around them, keeping eye on their naval capabilities as happenings at up to four miles off shore. The Land of Fire has also put to use technologies from the most-recent alien invasion; information has been equipped to the satellite in space, allowing for enhanced surveillance of national governments and movements of peoples. Such information can be relayed to any of these ships/planes.

**Outpost Stations and Military Centers**
Varying in size, capability and function, the various outpost and military bases throughout the Fire Empire, its colonies and overseas assets, maintain constant communication with **Chūgūhonō** (中宮炎, "Empress' Palace Flame"), the headquarters of the Imperial Fire Forces of the Fire Empire. Even the headquarters of the Shinobi Armed Forces—**Leaf City** (葉都市, "Hatoshi", VIZ; "City Hidden in the Leaves") reports to it. Chūgūhonō is located in the capital city, Ōujisama.

— The outposts are scattered around the Fire Empire and its colonies, divided through the land so as to cover all borders.

— At any time there can be anywhere from 5 to 100 soldiers at an outpost.

— Each outpost maintains the All Seeing Eye of the Gods System (神々の義眼, "Kamigamigigankei").

— Each outposts maintains the Mountain Order System (山門筋道, "Sanmonkei Sujimichi").

— Patrols and monitoring are done from the outposts 24/7 and are alternated and changed to remain elusive.

Governed by the **Supreme Commander** (崇高主謀, "Sūkōshubō", VIZ; "Noble Commander") who leads the entire military, **Chūgūhonō** (中宮炎, "Empress' Palace Flame") is the headquarters of the Fire Empire Department of Defense, located in the capital of the country, Oujisama City of the Rekka Province. It is oftentimes called the Central Command of the Imperial Fire Forces seeing as all military assets of the Imperial Fire State report back to it. The Chūgūhonō sits on the infamous Fire River (Hi no kawa, "Hi no kawa", VIZ; "River of Fire") and at any given moment has over 40,000 military and civilian workers there. It is the most tightly secured place on earth—few outside of the government have ever seen it. Centered in the middle of 6 towering pagodas is the main hall of the base. Each pagoda is the center for the 6 individual departments of the military. These include the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard and Reserves.

— Each military base is guarded by the Jūnihitoe Barrier.

— Most if not all bases are equipped with the Tenryū (天龍, "Dragon of the Sky Flame") weapon.

— All bases maintain the same systems as the outposts as well.

## *Scientific Development and Space Technologies*

The Fire Empire is a leading force in science and technological development seen in their way of life and the power of their military. No asset is secluded from the transparent hands of the armed forces including satellites as seen below.

**Tiānzhèngjú**

(天政局, "*Heavenly Administration Agency*", VIZ; "*Space Administration Agency*")

Also known as the HAA or SAA, Tiānzhèngjú is an independent agency of the Fire Empire responsible for the civilian and military space program as well as aeronautics and aerospace research. It works hand-in-hand with the Imperial Armed Forces to provide all sorts of support including data, transportation and communication. Besides several satellites launched by independent companies for commercial purposes, there are satellites in used by the government listed below. All of the satellites have been made with assistance from the Sōzō Corporations, a private contractor.

——————————————————

**Tennōheika Satellite** (天皇陛下, "His Majesty the Emperor Satellite") is a former satellite launched by the Tiānzhèngjú. It is the first satellite ever launched into space and operated for 50 years. It was destroyed by the Planetary Four (惑星の四, "Wakusei no Shi") during their invasion of earth. Tennōheika was constructed by the Sōzō Corporations.

**Tiān Xiàn 1** (天限一, "Sky Limit 1" or "TX1") is a low orbit spy satellite directed to keep "eyes" specifically on the Land of Lightning. It is designed to record high resolution imagery and video while communicating it to the Military Security Agency's secure database. At all times the satellite is surveying the Lightning Country.

**Tiān Xiàn 2** (天限二, "Sky Limit 2" or "TX2") is a low orbit spy satellite directed to keep "eyes" on the Fire Empire and its closest colonies. It is for security purposes and acts the same as TX1 but for kinder purposes. It also functions as a weather detection device and has been used increasingly for scientific studies about geographical phenomenons and space including map making.

**Hēixiāngzǒuláng** (黑箱走廊, "Black Box Corridor") is a highly classified military satellite tasked with communicating with several ground-based structures for attack purposes. It is highly reflective to certain concentrated materials and appears to be nothing but black space to those who attempt to see it. Without its coordinates, it is impossible to know of it. This satellite also has anti-satellite capabilities.

**Lǎohǔ Zhī Zhǎo Constellation** (老虎之爪星座, "Tiger's Jaw Constellation") are a series of 24 reconnaissance satellites. In the military and intelligence community it is known as a spy satellite arrangement. Deployed for military or intelligence applications, these machines use intricate technologies obtained from the Planetary Four which allow them to video record, snap high definition images and instantly communicate with those on earth. The images are to in depth that street signs can be read. Data is sent back to earth via the Huǒjù (火炬, "Torch", VIZ; "The Flame"), a classified database. There are several major types of reconnaissance satellite: *navy/aircraft detection, large explosion detection, significant chakra detection. photo surveillance, electronic-reconnaissance, radar imaging, and population concentration*. Each of the satellites have their own tasks and defense systems that mirror naval defenses.

**World Positioning System** (世界按排制度, "Sekaianbaiseido", VIZ; "WPS") is a space-based radionavigation system owned by the Fire Empire government and operated by the Imperial Air Force. It is a global navigation satellite system that provides geolocation and time information to a WPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more WPS satellites. Its is a constellation of satellites and is the only system like it of its kind. The Fire Empire allows all nations to use it, for free, but reserves the right to cut it off for all or some.

**Imperial Fire Navy** (lit. 帝国火の海軍, "*Teikokuhi no Kaigun*")
The navy of the Fire Empire (lit. 火帝国州, "Hiteikoku-shū")—the oldest sovereign nation in the world. 3,844 years ago, Emperor Mahō commissioned general Reijin to form a large water force, capable of defending the western gains of the dynasty. From that point on, the Imperial Navy continued to bolster in size, having temporary moments of stagnancy or depression. Although not the largest in the world, the Imperial Fire Navy is most certainly the most capable, formed with quick-response processes and boasting a diversity of different crafts for different use. Each of the crafts are powered by solar and nuclear energy, the only navy in the world to do so, the ability discovered no more than a century ago. Among the many creations of the navy, the fourteen aircraft carriers, ship-to-land intercontinental missiles and anti-radar technologies make the navy exceptional. This navy includes the Leaf Navy, though some differences take place.

Each vessel can be summoned back to various bases in the Land of Fire and all are equipped with the Imperial Power System.

Six of the Sogenbi-Class veered off of their regular routes in the Ishi-ka Bay, activating the third layer barrier and 100 knot speed, cruising through the water at rapid pace, hoping to be undetected by enemy design. It had not been said that the boats were beforehand being watched, so this would aid them. Veering into the Glacier Country's southern islands, the fleet of destroyers cut through the islands, using the boat's heated mechanism to cleave through ice, making the trek across the leap and into the Rimawari Ocean, the entire process requiring at the least an 40 minutes to an hour. The quickened paced boats were not moving at their maximum, 140 knot speeds, but were amazingly swift, unlike anything seen! Their targets were a new frontier, islands that were uncharted and unregulated by any national entity. They were to document these islands, settle on them and build military installments to keep an eye on the Land of Lightning. Two of the boats would halt at the island nearest the Land of Lightning. Two more would go to the one nearest the Land of Frostbite to the east and the other two would split themselves between the last, most eastern islands. Each destroyer carried a total of a hundred people.

All the while, the fleet on-board the ships were aware of the Land of Lightning's capabilities (or so they thought) and that they were close to their territory. Because of this, they turned on their hacking technologies, seeking to find any piece of information they could. To their surprise, Ikkaku Kingu was announcing something to his army. Each word was recorded and stored via audio, had things been successful. In the same breath, another one of the ships caught whiff of the massive electronic contraption used by the Land of Lightning, sending a vicious virus to the ship at a rapid pace, sending such a virus as they crossed into Glacier territory. The virus would shut down all systems of the massive vessel and unless one had the software to repeal it, the vessel would essentially explode, all while opening its capacities to the world.

Due to this, had it been successful, another one of the six ships would begin to steal the data, wiring it into the Land of Canyon's FIA Settlement, which to the public, was still owned by the Land of Canyons Daimyo.

**God Save the Empress Power System**

(神は皇后を救う, "*Kamiwakōgōosukuu*", VIZ; "*Empress Power System*")

The system in which all Fire Empire vehicles and most of their devices are managed. This is the operating system that designates them all, most of which are all connected to the intelligence community's database and the satellites above.All creations are manufactured with Ubatama and are also coated with Ubatama paint. This material is strong enough to withstand space travel, high levels of radiation, high levels of impact force and can even live through a C-Bomb's explosion, though considerably damaged. The primary full is solar energy; they all absorb solar energy and story it in storage boxes. As a result they oftentimes are capable of firing super-heated beams, spheres or waves of solar energy that can sear through dense lattice formations and metallic alloys. Solar-power also allows them to move at breathtaking speeds far beyond their generation. Moving at high speeds, however, drains this power quickly. Other fuels include oil and electric currents, should solar power be found unnecessary or unsustainable.

The **Barrier System** is an important asset as well—it is a set of defensive maneuvers aboard vessels having various levels. The first level is a surface-layer barrier that simply coats the very body of the vessel, appearing in a translucent green. It enhances the already powerful steel-alloy that each vessel is created with; it is possible for one of the boats to take a direct hit from the Ninth Hokage without a scratch. The second layer is the impact resistance layer, an invisible force-field created that absorbs impact and pushes it out into the area around oneself. The third layer is a solar barrier in which light from around the boat or stored within the boat is absorbed and manipulated to make the boat appear to be invisible. As far as **Firepower and Missiles** go, the ships are outfitted with dozens of compartments for gunfire and missile launches. Even the exclusive Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles generally used on land. The larger, Sōgenbi-Class ships carry C-Bombs and nuclear powered weapons. Generators outside of the boats can be used to heat up ice that may prove to be an obstacle, allowing boats to pass through northern islands. In regards to **Intelligence Gathering and Communicative Defenses**, the ships are capable of electronically hacking into communication feeds and wireless messages in an unprecedented way, setting the tone for a new age of cyber war. It is even possible to send nasty viruses that act and consuming diseases into a system, dismantling it. If and when a system is hacked or a virus is sent, the source is rerouted to a distant telephone tower or satellite, other than the ones owned by the Land of Fire. Most larger machines use the All Seeing Eye of the Gods System (神々の義眼, "Kamigamigigankei")

**Ubatama**

(烏羽玉, "*Jet Black*", VIZ; "*U-M*")

A special material developed by the Fire Empire under very covert and esoteric conditions; its existence is speculated throughout the world. It is the premier stealth technology of the modern world. It can be a solid or liquid and is incredibly durable. Use of U-M is a sub-discipline of military tactics and passive electronic countermeasures that cover a series of techniques used with personnel, aircraft, ships, submarines, missiles and satellites to make them less visible and hopefully invisible to chakra sensory, electromagnetic detection, radar, infrared, sonar and other detection methods. It redirects all electromagnetic waves into distance directions bypassing detection. It is the first and only material like it, even possessing radar-absorbent material. It is used all throughout all departments of the armed forces and is a patent of the Sōzō Corporations.

**Superweapons**

(超兵器, "*Chōheiki*", VIZ; "*Secret Weapons*")

A class of armored fighting machines which possesses vastly superior offensive and defensive capabilities compared to conventional vehicles and weaponry. The composition of a Superweapon's weapons systems, its defense and mobility vary from Superweapon to Superweapon depending on their individual designs. However, all Superweapon far outclass normal armies and weapons with their ability to decimate an entire base in a short period largely due to their use of Ubatama making them all classified as stealth tools. All of the tools can be summoned.

List of Superweapons

— Hiyataihō (冷 大砲, "Cold Cannon")

— Suiko (水虎, "Water Tiger")

— Kosenjōbi (古戦場火, "Ancient Battlefield Fire")

— Magatama (曲玉, "Curved Ball", "Jewel")

— Chakrium Bomb (チャクラ鉱石爆弾, "Chakra Ore Bomb")

**Hiyataihō** (冷 大砲, "Cold Cannon")

Much like its counterpart, it is a simplistic yet complex vehicle of flight used for reconnaissance on the battlefield. It can weather any storm and fly for days without needing to be refueled. It has a gun mounted on it with a solar-powered source within that allows it to fire out super-heated beams of solar energy strong enough to sear through the toughest of metallic alloys or lattice formations.

**Suiko** (水虎, "Water Tiger")

A simple yet complex vehicle used for reconnaissance on the battlefield. It has all-terrain capabilities and can run for days b before needing to be recharged. It has a gun mounted on it with a solar-powered source within that allows it to fire out super-heated beams of solar energy strong enough to sear through the toughest of metallic alloys or lattice formations.

**Chakrium Bomb** (チャクラ鉱石爆弾, "Chakra Ore Bomb", VIZ; "C-Bomb")

The very first weapon of mass destruction ever created—the C-Bomb is a Superweapon of lore. It once destroyed the entire village of Kumogakure and several villages in the Land of Ice-fields. Okojo Uchiha is coined as its creator. The bomb's prime fuel is Chakrium, a chakra ore found in very cold climates that is immensely unstable unless harnessed correctly. This densely compacted chakra is potent, much more potent than what is found in the human body. It is so vile that those who consume it perish within hours. The other fuel is chakra from the Nine Tails Fox. Because of its rather large size the bomb is difficult to transport and requires secrecy. It weighs 100 tons and has a very large quantity of Chakrium stored within. The mechanisms of the bomb make it so that this concentrated Chakrium and biju chakra can be shot out as a continuous beam, wave or a series of spheres. It is most powerful when it is allowed to simply explode altogether, capable of eradicating a city the size of Konohagakure, five times over. The aftermath is so disgusting from the potent Chakrium that wildlife is incapable of growing for decades and creatures—including humans—present during the explosion or three or four miles near ground-zero experience terminal sickness while children suffer from mutation. The current C-Bomb is built upon a device that allows it to be mounted on ships, airships. It also allows it to be transported on its on by water or underwater.

The **Building Cornerstone Program** (定礎棟番組, "Munejōsobangumi") is a secretive and large-scale building program orchestrated by the Fire Empire. It uses close cooperation with the Tea Country and their overpopulated regions as the manpower for the dangerous and costly program. Because the Tea Country has been struggling economically for years now, the new jobs that come from the program and all of the employment associated with it will fill their economy with the verve to revive itself, all while completing a series of tasks that meet the interest of the Land of Fire. The first of the program is the most premier of them all, the **Tea Canal** (お茶の運河, "Ocha no Unga"), an artificial waterway in the Tea Country that connects the Fire Sea to the Sekai Sea. It is to be built along the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Tea. It is said to be the largest artificial geographical undertaking in history. 2,000,000 people are to be positioned for work on the canal. Should the deal go through, the program would be effective immediately. The second part of the program is the **Frost Canal** (霜道, "Shimomichi"), a canal of the same nature but being on the border of the Land of Steam and the Land of Frost. 2,000,000 of the Tea Country's workforce will be arranged to work on this, in accordance with the Water Empire's delegation over their Steam Country colony. Those who use the Fire Country's exclusive Metal Method and magnetism techniques will be there to take the leader and assist in the building programs. Earth Method movers are to be assigned to the tasks as well. With the use of technology and superhuman abilities, the program is to be quickly done but the jobs created around such programs will last for generations. Lastly, 500,000 soldiers from the Tea Country will be enlisted in the **Fire Tea Colonial Armed Forces** (火茶植民地の軍隊, "Hi Cha Shokuminchi no Guntai") as official employees of the Fire Empire.
**Tenkūgun**
(空軍, "*Imperial Air Force*" or "*Heaven-sent Air Force*")

The Imperial Air Force is the aerial warfare service branch of the Fire Empire. Primarily the department is used for surveying enemy capabilities and army deployment for special operations. According to the command of the imperial government, the air force should make every effort to facilitate a system that can deliver a precision-guided conventional weapon airstrike or air force support anywhere in the world within thirty minutes. A department of Tenkūgun is the Colonial Army, which is further broken down into several different armies, specialized and signified by the colony in which the army originates.

**Shōgorō Center** (鉦五郎, "Ghost Gong Center")

The Shōgorō Center is a military facility located in the northeast Land of Canyons designed to act as a stalwart agaisnt north eastern attacks to the empire. It is nudged into a large canyon and has its own accompanying city within as well. In the pass 5 years more than a hundred thousand Fire Empire citizens have migrated there under employment of the empire to construct a large military tool; a red tier pagoda-type construct with several functions. Its main one? To deflect energy in a certain direction. Another one of these constructs exist in the Kogeta Province of the empire and smaller version can even be mounted on sea vessels. Their true function is unknown besides the fact that they connect with satellites in space and can detect heat signatures, have sonar sensory capabilities, senses electromagnetic power and determines the weather.

The F155 Mokushiroku Continental Defender (黙示録, "F155 Apocalypse Continental Defender")

 <center>**Qíngbào Jú**
(消防署, "*Intelligence Agency*", VIZ; "*Qí Jú*")

An imperial executive department of the Fire Empire responsible for the enforcement of the law and administration of justice in the Land of Fire and its colonies. The Qi Ju is the leader of the nation's intelligence community. It is so lucrative and esoteric than most people do not even know it exists—not even those of the Fire Intelligence Agency, a suborganization of the Qi Ju. Intelligence is information that agencies collect, analyze, and distribute in response to government leaders' questions and requirements. The Qi Ju has a lot of it whether on foreign peoples or its very own. The leader of the Qíngbào Jú is known as the **Fǔdǎoyuán** (輔導員, "*Facilitator*").

The Qi Ju maintains **Huǒjù** (火炬, "Torch", VIZ; "The Flame"), a massive database of gathered intelligence accessed only by mental and physical contact in several undisclosed locations around the world. There are over ten facilities, each housing specific data. The Flame is a realm of its own with 88 different "gates" requiring keys to enter. In order to enter any of these gates two people with the mental keys must be in harmony regarding their intentions. Such keys can only be given by the Facilitator. Once inside, a vast swath of information is available to a person. The type of information depends upon which base a person is at.

Suborganizations

— Fire Intelligence Agency (消防署, "FIA")

— Military Security Agency (軍事安全保障庁, "MSA", "Gunjianzen Hoshō-chō")

— Special Assassination and Tactical Squad (暗部, "ANBU Black Ops")

**Fire Intelligence Agency**

(消防署, "*Shōbōsho*", VIZ; "*FIA*")

A civilian and military foreign and domestic intelligence service of the Fire Empire, not to be mistaken with its overseer, the **Qíngbào Jú** (情报局, "*Intelligence Agency*"). It is tasked with gathering, processing and analyzing national security information from around the world, primarily through the use of human intelligence and jutsu. In recent time, the FIA has proven to the first world government to make use of cyberwarfare; actions by a nation-state to penetrate another nation's computers or networks for the purposes of causing damage or disruption and even for spying. Primarily, the FIA is made up of ANBU Black Operatives. The FIA has their own division of barrier users and medical ninja, the membership in which is classified. The leader of the FIA is known as the **Fire Chief** (消防長, "*Shōbō-chō*"). The difference between the two bodies are clear; both belong to the same department, but the Qíngbào Jú works exclusively for the **Jūnjīchù** (軍機處, "*Grand Council*" or "*Office of Military Secrets*"), the foremost military council of the Fire Empire. Qíngbào Jú is the only entity directly responsible for monitoring the FIA. The Qíngbào Jú is widely considered to have the most extensive and sophisticated intelligence network of any nation in the world, with notable suborganizations that include the FIA.

It has conducted numerous espionage operations against foreign countries, including both allies and rivals. This includes industrial espionage and cyber espionage. Through a combination of hacking and secret court orders against world technology companies, the Fire Empire has also employed mass surveillance of ordinary individuals, both native and foreign nationals alike. All members (including those of suborganizations) take an oath and receive a classified seal signifying their belonging to the organization and giving the organization the power to eradicate them immediately. When an operative is close to death or dead, their bodies are programmed to be incinerated by an intensely hot fire that eradicates every inch of their body and clothing. The FIA maintains secret programs giving them the ability to take control over electronic and vehicular devices constructed in empire territory and by empire companies but also certain allied nations.

**Military Security Agency**

(軍事安全保障庁, "*Gunjianzen Hoshō-chō*", VIZ; "*MSA*")

An intelligence organization of the Land of Fire imperial government responsible for global monitoring, collection, and processing of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence military purposes which includes the militarization of space equipment. It uses data obtained by the organizations above and below it for armed forces responses. MSA is concurrently charged with protection of Fire Empire government communications and information systems against penetration and network warfare and are constantly developing new technologies including the research of technologies obtained from outside of the planet. It is the MSA that cooperates with international militaries in order for collective security throughout. The leader of the MSA is the **Director of the Military Security Agency**. This organization is a suborganization of the Fire Intelligence Agency and under the umbrella of the Qíngbào Jú. It originated as a group of code-deciphers after the Third Great Ninja War but has since become primarily military civilian administered. The MSA keeps records on all electronic communications in the Land of Fire, its colonies and wherever it has an embassy throughout countries.

**Special Assassination and Tactical Squad**

(暗部, "*Gunjianzen Hoshō-chō*", VIZ; "*ANBU Black Ops*", "*Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai*")

Also known as the *Dark Side*, the ANBU are are covert human intelligence shinobi operatives that answer to the Hokage. ANBU are recruited from Konoha's ninja armed forces, hand-picked by the Hokage for their individual capabilities and special skills. While on the job, ANBU wear masks and use code names to conceal their identity, leaving only their kage informed and squad members. They typically work in teams formed on the mission's requirements. There are no true ranks within the ANBU; team leadership and hierarchy are based on merit and experience. The leaders of the teams are called **Squad Leaders** (分隊長, "Buntaichō"), a position held in high regard. Members mainly are tasked with assassinations or disturbances in foreign countries. Stemming from the secrecy surrounding the groups membership, people speculate that villagers who come and go from the village without eating are ANBU, adding to the lore of their identities. ANBU protect the village from exceptional threats, conduct high-risk missions into enemy territory, and deal with extremely strong ninja.

They are also responsible for carrying out assassinations, tracking, surveillance, and missions requiring specially trained ninja and human intelligence. Some ANBU serve as interrogators that probe the minds of enemy ninja to learn information valuable to the village. Because Anbu are so vital to the village's operations, they cannot be arrested by regular police forces without a warrant.

**Tenhei**

(天兵, "*Imperial Army*" or "*Heaven-sent Army*")

The Imperial Army is the principal land warfare force of the Fire Empire. It is the largest branch of the Imperial Armed Forces and is trained and designated for quick, aggressive and absolute response to international crisis, wherever they may be. A department of Tenhei is the Colonial Army, which is further broken down into several different armies, specialized and signified by the colony in which the army originates.

**136,280 Active personnel**

**22,800 Reserve personnel**

**Structure**

\* The Army consists of 104 brigades, each having about 1,300 soldiers within. These figures do not include those of the Colonial Army.

\* 10 brigades are considered a division, having about 13,000 soldiers. There are 10 divisions.

\* Within each brigade is a shinobi battalion holding 870 ninja each. There are also 104 battalions.

**Functions**

\* Brigades 1 though 10 specialize in light infantry capabilities

\* Brigades 11 through 20 specialize in support infantry

\* Brigades 21 through 40 specialize in base infantry

\* Brigades 41 through 50 specialize in intelligence infantry

\* Brigades 51 through 60 specialize in heavy infantry

\* Brigades 61 through 80 specialize in construction infantry

\* Brigades 81 through 90 specialize in mechanized infantry

\* Brigades 91 through 100 specialize in heavily mechanized infantry

\* Brigades 101 through 104 specialize in medical care

**Training**

\* Each brigade has at least 100 individuals capable of sensory and communication to the headquarters of their base of operations.

\* Due to the vastly differing terrain of the Fire Empire, personnel have learned to fight in desert, winter storm, forest, rainy and windy weather conditions,

\* Only those fit and mentally capable to deal with extreme trauma physically and mentally can enroll and remain. This is the same in all areas of the Imperial Armed Forces.

\* The Imperial Army is the most experienced in the world; the Fire Empire has engaged in more wars and battles than anyone else on the planet and is spread further. This aids in the army's ability to perform, quicker and with more precision than other armies in areas of invasion in modern-day cities and country states.

**Uniform and Weaponry**

\* Light infantry specialize in creating skirmishing screen ahead of the main body of infantry, harassing and delaying the enemy advance. They have modern assault weaponry and blunt force, trauma force and fire resistant armory, protected by a steel-clothe material, woven only in the Fire Empire.

\* Base infantry are the same as light infantry but use portable radio receivers and transmitters that can be turned on and off, able to intercept communications. They generally guard outpost and military settlements.

\* Intelligence infantry take care of employment of small recon units or sniper teams which gather information about the enemy, reporting on characteristics such as size, activity, location, unit and equipment. These infantry units typically are known for their stealth and ability to operate for periods of time within close proximity of the enemy without being detected. Their state of the art armor and clothing have the ability to reflect light, causing them to turn invisible for a limited time. They may engage high profile targets, or be employed to hunt down terrorist cells and insurgents within a given area. These units may also entice the enemy to engage a located recon unit, thus disclosing their location to be destroyed by more powerful friendly forces. They too have radio capabilities of base infantry and are exceptionally quick, even for non-shinobi.

\* Heavy infantry are more robustly clad light infantry that tank entire companies. Their metallic armory calls for brute strength, holding durability more than 6x greater than those of the light infantry. The helmets they wear allows them to perceive body readings and distinguish between different systems of the body like the Chakra Network and Cardiovascular System. The full body armor improves all of their body's functions, including thought processes. It can even harness electromagnetic energy to assault nearby foes or negate their power.

\* Construction infantry consists of using infantry troops as labor for construction of field positions, roads, bridges, airfields, and all other manner of structures. The infantry is often given this assignment because of the physical quantity of strong men within the unit, although it can lessen a unit's morale and limit the unit's ability to maintain readiness and perform other missions. More often, such jobs are given to specialist engineering corps. They often build military bases abroad for quick resource and supply line creation.

\* Mechanized infantry

\* Heavily mechanized infantry

**Transportation**

\* Each brigade has available to it 65 armored personnel carriers or infantry fighting vehicles which seat 20 individuals each. There are 8,000 of the vehicles owned by the Imperial Army. That's 6,764 vehicles currently dispersed to brigades and 1,236

in reserves.

\* The army has available to it 800 mecha-suits of varying size and capabilities.
