Novan Japanese Unification

## The Japanese Unification Attempts

There has been numerous attempts for unifying Japan on Nova. Several of which were spearheaded by a member of the community named KindofAsianDante. He has been attempting since May 2020, and some of the attempts succeeded, such as the Alagaddan era nations.

## Important Individuals

Known as *Blend* by most, this member of the community is responsible for most of the historical builds in Nova Japan. Most notably Kyoto, the contested town between Kyochikuto and Court as well as the Sakura base to the North-East of Kyoto.

*Dante* is known most by his attempts of Japanese Unification. He has made approximately six attempts, some of which succeeding. Started the First Japanese Civil War.

## Historical Locations

Japan was first officially unified under Dante and the Alagaddans, but before that many towns existed such as the Norman Empire's towns. Blend is responsible for most of the builds in Japan, nearly half of the pre-existing towns being built by him and the Norman Empire.

### Towns of Interest

#### Kyoto

The city that started the Kyochikutan Crisis and then the Second Japanese Civil War. Placed between what was Court and Kyochikuto of the time. The original capital of the Norman Empire.

#### Sapporo

Placed on the Northern-most island, led by mayor Rover59. Placed where Niseko Japan and new Niseko have been.

Fukuoka

Located on Kyushu island, led by mayor HoloBlaziken. Claimed the whole of Kyushu Island and created the historical builds at said location.

#### Hiroshima

The capital of the Norman Empire at the time of its dissolving. The foundation and location for both regimes of the town of Kyochikuto.

## Civil Wars

### The First Japanese Civil War

Under the leadership of Koen and Dante, the subjects revolted and split apart into their own groups, infighting occurring and infrastructure being destroyed. It would be months until Japan could find any sort of cooperation amongst themselves.

### The Second Japanese Civil War

Kyochikuto was overly ambitious in their expansion, and this had an eye raised by Court, the neighbouring town and nation capital. In an act of mediation, a siege began between Court and Kyochikuto. Within two days, forts were build and blood was shed. Two nukes were fired and eventually Kyochikuto capitulated under the pressure. It went silently for two days, the town in ruin. Following the Kyochikutan fall, Kicks\_Yerdoya\_, the previous co-mayor, re-established the town and raised it from its position in the place of the ideological state. It was now focused on rebuilding and peace rather than ideological spread.

## History

### September 2019 - The Norman Empire

The Norman Empire was an international group, but most concentrated in Japan This follows the same trend as the future nations to come in Japan. This was led by Blend and some of his friends. This was the first Japanese nation in Nova, having been made in the beginning days of Nova launching.

### February 2020 - Japan

This group was the precursor to the Alagaddan grips on Japan. It was mostly inactive, the same as the Norman Empire had been in its later stages.

## History

### May 2020 - The Alagaddan Era

The first era of Japanese Unification was successful, under the leadership of a member known as Koen. This nation ruled by fear to keep their subjects loyal.

### ??? 2020 - Imperiaru Nihon

The second era of unification attempt was the Imperial Japan era. This was a brief period with no particular date [needs citation], but was a loosely held together nation.

### ??? 2020 - Alagadda 2

This was a second nation to succeed Imperial Japan and Alagadda, less serious and moreso a side-project for Dante.

## History

### Fall 2020 - Henosis

This was lead by SilentStormSeven, at the time known as Pinlias. It was co-run by CourtApollo, another member of the community. It had towns in almost each continent on Nova, but inactivity led to its downfall.

### December 2020 - Iblis

Iblis took advantage of the Henosian inactivity and enacted a siege on the capital of Court, forcing it into Iblis. They merged the nations together, moving the capital away from Court in the midst of Court going peaceful. This produced the conditions required to allocate Court into what was at the time Old Japan, the major force on the Japanese islands at the time.

## Important Events

### The Kyochikutan Crisis

In early December 2020, members of the community attempted to push once again for a more unified Japan. This began with Kyochikuto, formed in the remnants of Kyoto and Hiroshima, forming with leaders ElizabethHere and Kicks\_Yerdoya\_.

They grew at an average speed and established political ideals early, based off of socialism. This resulted in pushback from the global community, their goal to wipe out the Japanese communism. Shortly after being established, the town joined Henosis, the neighbouring nation and dominant force in Japan, their capital the large town of Court.

The leaders of both towns pushed for unifying towns, beginning with Mount Myoboku, lead by oSharpey. This town was owned by the Eastern Federation, at the time lead by iShockYou. After political pushes, they managed to have Mount Myoboku join Henosis. There were difficulties with getting towns like Camp Green Lake, Taiga and Sila Portem to join, due to the inactivity of their leaders. During this time, a town without a nation known as Taiga(ironically not located in Hiroshima, but rather Northern Japan), was unable to be contacted due to complete inactivity. The leader of Taiga was replaced for inactivity by iShockYou, but the new leader BraveNothingA21 was unheard of until its eventual fall on December 13th 2020. Sila Portem was lead by DerpyDrayable, but he was mostly inactive aside from a short period during the Kyochikutan siege.

### Kyochikutan Reformation

Approximately around the time of the Kyochikutan Crisis, Dante, at that point known as Taivvan, returned to Nova and began one more unification attempt. The town of Old\_Tokyo was established in Southern Sakhalin, the nation of Old\_Japan being formed atop it. Towns began joining this, including Kyochikuto in the midst of their defense against the Court sieges. Kyochikuto was the first member, followed by towns like Sila\_Portem2.0, Fort\_Nerium and Miyako. Old Japan did not understand how Sila Portem joined Old Japan, but it is believed that their peaceful status made Kyochikuto become their Guardian Town. Fort Nerium was lead by ElizabethHere, the previous leader of Kyochikuto. Miyako was lead by Youngies123, a friend of Dante.

### Court's Peaceful Change

In mid-December 2020, Court began a process of becoming peaceful, meaning the town would be able to be taken as a protectorate under a town with more than ten members. During the timer towards when they would be declared peaceful, they were sieged by Iblis, the siege headed by Eric Clapton. They were annexed into Iblis, their town turning red and all Henosis towns turning to the side of Iblis as it was before Henosis separated from Iblis. In the following days, Court was brought into Old Japan.

### Old Japan's Conquest

Dante began bringing towns into his nation, both by diplomacy and by using the guardian town system to his advantage. He funded new towns to be made, such as Miyako. At that point, Old Japan outnumbered other towns in Japan by 8:3. This was the most unified Japan had been in several months prior to the return of Dante. Dante and ElizabethHere co-ran the country and aligned with several organizations such as the United Nations, proceeded by the League of Nations.
