### Season

S1, S2, S4

Japan is not affiliated with anime (sadness), unlike it’s grandmother nation “The Holy Order of the Weaboo Empire”. Instead, as a result of the Japanese Imperial Destiny of season 1, this nation is closely aligned with 1930's Imperial Japan.Japan.

Japan is a member state of the International Coalition Against Extremist States, or for short, ICAES. They are unofficially allied with the Gulf Coast Republic. It is allied with many influential nations in the server, which are not limited to Indolaysia, Cat Kingdom, PaxHejaz, and the Cretian Empire.

**Government**

Japan has a complicated government system. It is under a Shogunate government, however the emperor has much more power in this government. Japan also has a Prime Minister (Stanley\_Hudson06), and it also resembles a Constitutional Monarchy. For simplicity, it will be listed as a constitutional shogunate in the infobox. After merging with Japan on May 22, 2022, Greater Japan changed its name to Japan, and changing it to Imperial Japan on the 24th. With this merge, a shogunate was formed, with the shogun being Potato Man (known as NotsoPotato ingame). Although Bonnie kept his role as the sovereign emperor, the new shogun was quick to make decisions, almost resulting in a friendly fire siege. Because of these early troubles, the new Shogun is unpopular amongst the original Greater Japanese citizens. To prevent the already unpopular shogunate into transforming into a fascist hellhole, a new constitution is being drafted by Firestarter (known as TheScatmanJohn ingame). Checks and balances will be implemented as well as a Constitutional Council that will decide whether the Shogun's actions are constitutional or not. They will have the power to oust the Shogun if deemed necessary. This is necessary in protecting Japanese heritage and to prevent the nation from being ruined by faulty federal decisions. As of the 30th of May, elections are being held between Bonnie and Potato.

**History (S1)**

Japan’s roots can be traced all the way back to season 1. Upon the nation’s founding on 09/16/21, Japan was officially known as The Holy Order of the Weaboo Empire, led by sovereign emperor ThisGameDooDo. The nation started out as a Peaceful Holy Kingdom, placing it’s faith in the Serpentine Dragon named Lucoa from the slice of life anime “Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid”.

The first major event that occurred during the Empire’s founding was the Japanese Civil War. This war was the result of multiple nations wanting to take control over the archipelago. In the end, The victorious party was the Japanese Liberation Front: composed of the Weaboo Empire, The Blossoming North, and various other supporters, forcing South Japan out of the Island.

After The Japanese Civil War, the Holy Order had broken it’s peaceful intentions, and the now three Japans agreed upon an alliance to protect the island chain from any upcoming threats and to prevent any future civil wars. In addition, they all came to agreement to partition the lands of Japan to prevent any future border conflicts.

Weeks after World War One, the faith in the \**CUM\**

serpentine big-booby goddess Lucoa began to decline as a result of a population influx. As time went on, The Empire gradually began to adopt imperialistic ideologies. Eventually, sovereign emperor ThisGameDooDo decided to reform the now unified Japanese Islands as the Empire of Japan.

During the Empire’s imperial destiny, they began to invade, pillage, siege, and conquer lands from Africa, Alaska, Siberia, Korea, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Indolaysia. As a positive side-effect, the invasions increased citizen morale and work ethic to an outstanding degree, causing the nation’s economy and industry to skyrocket. These takeovers and massive growth in GDP resulted in boosting the Empire to the global stage, allowing the now wealthiest country in the world to compete with world superpowers and was often regarded to be a superpower of it’s own. Japan, at this point, had massive influence over all of East Asia, Oceania, Russia, and North America. This age was the peak of the empire’s global influence and national identity.

Closing the Imperial Destiny period, a separatist group ended up forming in the Chūgoku region because of the Empire’s growing instability, a downside to controlling such a large amount of territory. Located in South Japan, the separatists claimed independence from the Empire and her ever growing territories, going as far to diplomatically withdraw from the nation and forming a new state known as Greater Chūgoku.

When the Second World War had begun, The Empire of Japan had joined the United Front, which was focused on combating the Islamic Alliance and their allies. As a result, the Empire of Japan and the aforementioned separatist state known as Greater Chūgoku had agreed upon a reestablishment treaty. The separatist state of Greater Chūgoku was to be admitted back into the Empire as a strictly limited autonomous region known officially as the Chūgokan Autonomous Zone, and in return, the Empire provided military and economic aid to the mismanaged, impoverished region. When the war had hit it’s peak, the Chūgokan Autonomous Zone was officially dissolved, incorporating the land back into the Empire of Japan, once again reforming the homogeny of the Japanese territory.

As WW2 came to a close, the final period for the server came to effect. The Great Dying was caused because of the burnout that afflicted all nations due to the grueling nature of WW2. With the start of the Great Dying, the only recorded transfer of power within the empire occurred. The ever worn-out sovereign emperor ThisGameDooDo relinquished the throne to the now current sovereign emperor aBonnie. As players across the server began to quit, Japan’s territorial integrity began to collapse, along with their population. What was left of the Islamic Alliance after loosing WW2 began to invade the vastly weakened Japan in a last ditch effort to cling onto life, breaking apart the unified islands. What was once the most prosperous nation on the server became a war-torn, impoverished state.

With the end to the Great Dying, that also meant the end of Season 1, ending the vast, beautiful history of Japan.
