**Ninjago** (Ninjagoan: 忍者行く, *Ninjagō*), officially the **State of Ninjago** (Ninjagoan: 忍者の状態, *Ninjagō-koku*, previously known as **Consitutional Democratic Monarchy of Ninjago**, was a nation in East Asia, with disputes within Asia and outside of Asia, inluding Reunited Mexico, Hawai'i and the Madagasukaru Strip. The State of Ninjago was situated on the Ninjagoan archipelago, west of Arvidland and North of the Formosan Republic. The government had partial political influence over the capital island of the Republic of Nigeru. The State of Ninjago was established as the Constitutional Democratic Monarchy of Ninjago in 2020 by the combined efforts of the UN, the Johanian Republic and Orochi, following the aftermath of ShitCraft IV and the fall of the Absolute Monarch of Ninjago.

The State of Ninjago was a constitutional monarchy with a modernized pre-ShitCraft IV Ninjagoan democratic parliamentary system, however many restrictions were set by the UN following the end of ShitCraft IV, however the restrictions gradually lifted until the first Ninja-UN war. It was forbidden by law in Ninjago to have an army, view symbols and flags of the Ninjago Empire era and the Ninjagoan media was filtered to not view any "pro-Ninjagoist sentiments", thus political debate was limited to the public. Due to the overwhelming amount of Ninjagoans living on the Nigeru main island and the role of the emperor in Way of the Ninja beliefs, the Ninjagoan emperor was also a reigning monarch over that particular territory, while the other Niguran islands were under a presidential system.

The nation was divided in two between the National Government of Ninjago and the United Nations Military Administrated Zone of Ninjago. The State of Ninjago had completely lost administration of the Nigeruan Island.

## History

### ShitCraft IV

During ShitCraft IV, Ninjago was ruled by the Emperor Kareastikuru and the NIRAAP, who made many legislative reforms to Ninjago, making it an Absolute Monarchy. During this era, Ninjago went through a rapid expansion and birthrates rised, as the Ninjagoist ideology told the people they should spread out Ninjagoans in Ninjagoan territory. Under this era, the economy exploded, quickly making Ninjago one of the strongest economic powers. Housing was widely available for the population as the Emperor set up many architectural projects. Despite the standard of living was one of the highest in ShitCraft, the Ninjago Empire got wealth unfairly according to the UN, especially with their territorial expansion and crimes against humanity, such as the Kurenjingu.

### Post-ShitCraft IV

After the Ninjago Empire fell apart, Ninjago got briefly occupied by the Johanian Republic and Orochi, where both tried to influence the politics and economy in Ninjago, such as the Zaneist reforms. However, this era ended quickly when both Johania and Orochi went through internal struggles, which lead to the UN controlling Ninjago.

The UN set up programs for return migration programs, sending Ninjagoans from the expanded Ninjagoan territory back to Ninjago. This lead to a severe over-population problem as the Ninjago islands and Ninjago City lack the proper housing and healthcare for increased population. Ninjago also has to pay for war-reparations, primarily to the Formosan Republic. This has lead to a stagnant decrease of Ninjagos economy, being a bottom low since Shitcraft II Ninjago. Despite the economy being at a bottom low, Borg Industries has benefited greatly from the population increase, and is now the biggest company in Ninjago and is a top player in technological production.

Even though Ninjago lost almost 97 000 chunks after the fall of the Ninjago Empire, Ninjago gained more territories from pre-ShitCraft IV Ninjago, including the island of Hokkaido, the Ryu-kyu's, the southern Chishima island and the Nigeru island. Although they lost a historical Ninjagoan territory Tsushima, and the long dispute over the Formosan island was lifted. Ninjago is also still in a dispute with the Madagasukaru Strip. The UN prohibits Ninjago to have territorial disputes, however this is possible due to the Madagasukaru Strip not being a part of another nation before the Ninjagoan control of the territory.

The LDP has as of 2021-04-11 put illegal claims over many 'previous Ninjagoan teritorries', including the Formosan island, which has sparked up the tensions between the Formosan Republic and Ninjago again. Prime Minister Postman has stated that Ninjago doesn't want to take military action and is open to solve the dispute peacefully with a compromise. The UN Council is condemning Ninjago, and will take legal action.

## Deninjagoistification

Ater the Empire fell, the UN set up programs to prevent the Empire to emerge again, since the culture is prone to create racially structured systems motivated by a religion, along with emperor worship. Dareth II was crowned to emperor by the UN, since he has Wu heritage, however, he has no legislative power, only symbolical and serves religious purposes. The UN media programs display that the emperor is not a diety but a normal ShitCraftian, which is a widely unpopular belief among the Ninjagoans.

A 'flag and symbol law' was put in place to further distance the Empire of Ninjago to the new Ninjago. This means that the old Oni-dragon flag and symbol is forbidden, despite having a long Imperial history before ShitCraft IV. The four drop tomoe symbol of the NIRAAP controlled Ninjago is also banned in Ninjago. The new Ninjagoan flag removes the gold color that symbolizes the monarchy, light and Ninjagoan people, and replaces it with white that stands for peace. The Oni-dragon symbol is replaced with a two drop tomoe yin yang and still symbolizes the conflict of good and evil. The colors are also updated to look more modern.

Other symbols such as the famous Ninjagoan Imperial and war cry: *"Tenno heika, banzai, banzai, banzai!"*, is also banned in the CDM Ninjago. Songs such as *"The Final Battle"*, while "The Weekened Whip" is kept.

## Politics

Following the fall of the Ninjago Empire, Ninjago's politics has been centered around solving massive demographic issues and to loosen the UN's restraints of the nation, which all political parties in the National Diet have in common. However, due to suppression of media and political freedom in Ninjago, passing any laws agaisnt the UN is difficult.

The Ninjago Kaigi members of different political parties, especially the LDP, has been able to bypass some of UN's constitutional laws, such as letting Way of the Ninja priests worship the emperor's (except Kareastikuru, as it collides with the war-criminal law) of Ninjago. This is due to this UN law collides with the Freedom of Religion Law in chapter 34.

As of April 04-08 2021, the Ninjago Kaigi arm of the Liberal Democratic Party has issued a referendum to remove the 'war-criminal law' from the Ninjagoan constitution. This is due to many Way of the Ninja worshipers haven't been allowed to mourn over dead war criminals of ShitCraft IV publicly and because the Ninjagoan prisons being too overcrowded. A vote will be made in the UN, where 50% of the member countries has to agree for the reform to pass. Mirton Dyer makes a comment on the constitutional reform: "It's shameful Ninjago's citizens aren't allowed to vote for ourselves, our best hope now is that the other countries of ShitCraft allows it to pass".

As of April 04-09 2021 14:31, the final vote was 56%, removing the war-criminal law from the constitution. As of 22:56 the same day, rumors have been arising that the ex-Elemental Ninja, part founder of the Ninjago Empire, and the leading organizer of the Kurenjingu, Jay Walker is back in Ninjago.

As of April 04-11 2021, Jay Walker made his first public appearance since the fall of the Ninjago Empire, and have now joined the Liberal Democratic Party and the Ninjago Kaigi. Jay Walker publicly stated: "The first steps have been made to return the lands of our creator, into a new everlasting empire. Ninjago is a warrior nation and we deserve having an army, as only a Ninja Army is capable to defend us from United Nations of ShitCraft. Soon we are free".

In the same day, the nation has successfully changed it's official name from "Constitutional Democratic Monarchy of Ninjago" to "State of Ninjago". This change was passed mostly due to many UN members finding it annoying to write out the long name all the time.

### Conflict with the United Nations

The leading party of the State of Ninjago, The Liberal Democratic Party, was disestablished and integrated into the Great Ninjago Prosperity Association, including many other big parties in the National Diet. In normal instances a new election would take place, however the United Nations has blocked any upcoming elections of the National Diet. The United Nations has militarily occupied the National Diet building and are pushing to secure more areas of Ninjago City. The re-militarized Ninjagoan National Army and armed cizitens are fighting back. Kareastikuru has stated that he wants to have a national election after the United Nations are defeated to show his and the other Ninjagoists popularity and power.
