New World

**New World** is a term used by Japan and other transferred countries that were transported to another world from their old world.

## Overview

Based on the satellite image taken by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the planet of the New World has a diameter 2.5 times longer (The Earth’s diameter is 12,742 km which would make the New World’s diameter 31,855 km according to Google calculator) and a surface area 6.3 times larger than that of Earth's (Earth's surface area is 510.1 million km², so that would makes the surface area of the New World to be 3,213.63 million km²), considering the New World is a Super-Earth. The horizon on the planet has confirmed to be twice as far as Earth's; approximately 20 or 40 km on board the observation tower of a battleship. The size of the planet is so large that, according to Mu experts, most of the inhabitants of the planet had not known that their planet was spherical. The planet of the New World is also confirmed to have two moons.

Though the planet has a surface area 6.3 times larger than the Earth, its density is only 1/15 of Earth's, meaning the New World would have a relatively identical gravitational pull of 9.81 m/s². The oxygen content is 22%. This strangeness, interestingly, opposes the physical rules known on Earth, leading to some doubts as to whether the New World is in another dimension or from a parallel universe instead of being in the same universe with the Earth. The other unique discovery is that the New World’s distance to the sun remains the same; at 150,000,000 km.

The area that Japan has come into contact with consists of three main continents (equivalent to the Three Civilized Regions) with vast waters and many islands interspersed. Later Japanese studies also showed another continent 12,000 kilometers east of Japan, surrounded by many large islands, and on the other side of the planet, which is separated by giant mountains, there is a huge ocean (the size equivalent to the whole area of the Earth), that is isolated with the rest of the world, is thought to contain many other continents there.

Another strange detail is that within the New World exists a natural element called ***Magic***. Magic does not seem to be a supernatural element but a natural feature of the New World and can be cast by everyone by triggering a natural source of energy in the body called ***Mana.*** Other sources of Mana may be provided from Magic Gems and Magic Tools, providing the indigenous peoples with the tools and elements necessary to build civilizations in ways different from Earth's. Japanese scientists are still struggling to understand the basic characteristics of Magic and how it functions, but further knowledge of this is still undetermined.

As for the time zone alone, between Japan and Mu lies around almost a twelve-hour difference. Considering that the standard of Earth's time zone was 1/24 of diameter or around 500 km, due to 2.5 times longer size itself, the time zone for each hour is assumed to cover around 1300 km. If Japan was at 12 AM on a certain day, Mu is most likely at around 7 PM. The time zone difference between Japan and the Gra Valkas Empire is most likely 6 hours, while Gra Valkas Empire to Mu is 1 hour.

## International Community & Relations

In general, the New World is underdeveloped in technology, politics, and ideology compared to Earth. Moreover, due to lack of international foundations like the United Nations or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights like back on Earth, the international relations of the New World is quite hostile and full of conflicts as well as unequal treaties and expansive foreign policies. The term of "Gunboat Diplomacy" holds especially true here as the major nations are all too eager to show off their strength in order to intimidate the lesser countries.

There are two defined areas in the New World: the Civilized and Uncivilized areas. Nations in civilized areas are countries with advanced technologies and have passed the Industrial Revolution while the countries outside the civilized areas are still remain in the Medieval Era. This fact makes all countries in the civilized areas to belittle countries in the uncivilized areas.

The mentality of the New World is pre-World War 2 in which concepts of human rights, banned weaponry, or international aid are non-existent. Furthermore, slavery, imperialism, and expansionism run rampant and unchecked on a daily basis in the foreign relations between countries. Japan, which bears the ideology of equality and friendliness between nations, was not prepared to embrace the war-like hegemonies and the violent ideology of this world, causing them to be despised by many superpowers and civilized nations that know little or totally ignorant about the true capability of Japan, resulting in them sometimes suffering needless damage.

Moreover, since the New World never has to experience devastating wars at the level of World War 1 and World War 2 as well as the long history of bloodshed like on Earth, majority of countries, especially in the civilized area, are extremely power-hungry, prideful, glory-craving, and full of blinded confidence in warfare as almost none of them even bother to assess their enemies carefully before engagements and are willing to fight overwhelmingly powerful foes who they have little to no knowledge about. The boastfulness escalates to the point that there is a case that a certain superpower would be willing to cover up their failed engagement towards the assumed "barbarian countries" only to preserve their image towards other countries rather than combat rationality. The best example is the Holy Milishial Empire having concealed the destruction of the Zeroth Fleet by the Gra Valkas Fleet to maintain their image of superiority towards other countries in the New World, no matter how much of a serious threat that the Gra Valkas Fleet posed to the rest of the world. This results in the destruction of not only all the magic fleets of the Holy Mirishial Empire but also other civilized countries' fleets, whose arrogance and ignorance toward Gra Valkas, brought upon their own destruction. This shows that a vast majority of countries in the New World, as well as the leading superpowers, have a poor grasp in dealing with the unknown, and the vital concept of "Knowing Your Enemy" is almost nonexistent as pride and complacency mostly replace their basic rationality in creating feasible war strategies and tactics.

Consequently, there are numerous scenarios in which leaders and military officials of countries hostile to Japan or the Gra Valkas Empire laugh and ridicule them based on pure blind assumptions and oftentimes utter delusional thinking of their military forces. One instance was when military leaders of the Louria Kingdom stated that Japan has a weak ground force, despite the fact that the Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF) and the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) decimated all of Louria's navy and dragon corps. This presumption from the generals of Louria was based from the dull fact that they have little to no contact with the Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF). Another instance was when Emperor Ludius of the Parpaldia Empire assured that the JGSDF would be unable to invade Parpaldia's territories because of their relatively small size as he disregards Japan's advanced technology. In Gra Valkas' case, the Emor Kingdom's ambassador blindly assumed that Gra Valkas is weak not only because they are outside the civilized area but also lack of magical capabilities.

Much like the concept of a First, Second, and Third World countries on Earth, the civilized area itself is divided into three levels of civilization based on their technological, infrastructural, and social level.

* **First Civilizations Area**: Countries that are considered to be the most powerful and technologically advanced in the New World. The technological level of the First Civilization Area civilizations are approximately pre-World War 2, having able to create fighter planes, colored televisions, and even a (bulkier and obsolete) calculator. The strongest nation in the First Civilization Area is the Holy Mirishial Empire.
* **Second Civilization Area**: Countries with the technology similar to the Great War Era (World War 1). The strongest nation in the Second Civilization Area is Mu.
* **Third Civilization Area**: Countries with Napoleonic and Victorian Age technology. The strongest nation in the Third Civilization Area was the former Parpaldia Empire until their crushing defeat at the hands of Japan, losing their military status as a world power in the process.

Due to the warmongering and exploitative tendency of many of the countries in the New World (Most notably the ever-expansionist nations like the Parpaldia Empire, they have little to no investment in the civilian economic sector like manufacturing of civilian goods. Healthcare, education, local amenities and even investments into advanced mining processes are also neglected. This would result in an extremely detrimental position if these countries were to no longer maintain their military or territories to exploit as shown when the Parpaldia Empire lost their war against Japan. Immediately after having lost the Japanese-Parpaldian War, the country had zero means to raise themselves up from their diminished state due to their costly investment into the military rather than improving the civilian sector. Consequently, this kind of negative repercussion would repeat with the Gra Valkas Empire should they lose their doomed war with Japan.

Additionally, due to their natural inclination of being warmongering nations, they have also never felt an economic crisis for the first time. The Parpaldia Empire utilized the concept of “Open and Close The Hole,” meaning the conquered territories that have long been occupied are being disposed of by seeking another country to conquer. Only at their solemn defeat at the hands of the combined force of Japan and their former territories did they experience an economic crisis for the first time.

## Transferred Countries

Due to some unknown dimensional phenomenon, there are countries that were transferred from their original world into the New World. So far, there are four countries that are confirmed to be transferred countries: Japan, Mu, the Ravernal Empire, and the Gra Valkas Empire. However, the Ravernal Empire is the only exception within the four since they went to the New World by their own volition rather than being transferred.

The transference is considered to be a myth to countries outside of Mu. This makes most countries in the New World, especially the superpowers and countries in the civilized areas to behave recklessly, condescendingly, and even hostile towards transferred countries since the two recently transferred countries, Japan and Gra Valkas, appeared outside the civilized areas. Consequently, this makes most superpowers and civilized countries to suffer dearly afterward as they ignorantly and unknowingly instigate conflicts with powerful and technologically superior transferred countries. The best examples are Leifor and the Parpaldia Empire, being swiftly crushed by the two newly transferred countries respectively: Gra Valkas and Japan.

By the events of the New World War, the military demonstrations of Gra Valkas and the clear presentation of superior technology of Japan, making all countries in the New World to realize that transferred nations are no longer a myth and became cautious with suspected transferred countries in the future. In addition, with transferred countries conducting trade and technological transfer to non-civilized countries also slowly faded the barrier between the civilized and uncivilized countries.

## Space and Cosmic Awareness

Aside from Japan, only the Ravernal Empire, the Annonrial Empire, and the Holy Mirishial Empire were aware of space. Before the transference of Japan, the Ravernal Empire had established a network of magical satellites called the Mystar for multiple purposes. After the disappearance of the Ravernal Empire, the Annonrial Empire tried to re-establish connection with the Mystar to hasten the revival of the Ravernal Empire.

Despite knowing about space, the Holy Milishial Empire were unable to reach space with their magical technology and deems space as an impossible domain for anyone to reach. As a result, when they realized Japan had access to a satellite, the whole administration of the Holy Milishial Empire were deeply shocked and amazed.

## Technology Levels and Advancement

Technology is one of the fundamental factors on how a nation develops and how other countries view them. Before the arrival of transferred nations, such as Japan, Mu, and the Gra Valkas Empire, the concept of magic was seen as the ultimate expression of power. Technology that utilized magic was seen as the highest level a civilization could achieve. In the beginning, the highest civilization was the Ravernal Empire. With its seemingly impossible magic technology, it made all other nations both respect and fear that said country. With its disappearance, different nations scrambled for the remnants of that technology in order to raise their national power comparable to the Ravernal Empire.

At the top of the present magic technology chain is the Holy Milishial Empire, with its virtual monopoly of the Ravernal Empire relics. It could claim to have the highest levels of magic technology by virtue of the many Ravernal ruins in its geography. Because there are little to no Ravernal artifacts outside of the Mirishial's borders, the nation maintains a tight grip on their relics and there are no exports of such technology. Although their attempts at reverse-engineering the magic technology are crude at best. There is no competition and whatever magic weapons or devices that the other nations do come up with, pale in comparison to Mirishial's. Yet, when the country of Mu arrived, things changed. Now, there was a new branch of technology available. One based on science rather than magic.

Around twelve thousand years ago, the continent of Mu was transferred from ancient Earth to the New World. Since no one in Mu were able to use magic, they had to rely on their mechanical technology in order to build themselves up. However, as they did not experience the Renaissance of Europe nor the Industrial Revolutions of the 19th and 20th century, their science-based technology advanced quite slowly. Furthermore, this was an alternative to magic and was not selfishly hoarded like the magical technology of the Holy Milishial Empire. Nations now had a different outlet in order to improve themselves. Science began to spread but still wasn't as respected as magic, and the Holy Mirishial Empire still remained at the top.

This would all change with the arrival of Japan and Gra Valkas Empire. With their 21st century and World War 2 level respective technology, science was given an enormous boost to the New World. It wouldn't take long before the people all realized that scientific technologies were easier to obtain, was more convenient than magic, and most importantly, more powerful than the Holy Mirishial's crude copies of the Ravernal Empire's ancient technology. In fact, it may even equal or surpass that ancient civilization's. As such, nearly all the nations are scrambling to obtain either Japan's or the Gra Valkas Empire's technology.

## Notes

* Of all the transferred countries, the Ravernal Empire is the only country to be transferred to the New World by the country's own means rather than by an unknown phenomenon.
* Due to the sheer size of the New World, it is stated that Japan would need at least 36 satellites to effectively monitor the New World from space.
* The Japanese are the only people that were transferred to the New World twice.
* The location of the New World within the universe and the Milky Way is still unknown.
