Tokyo

**Tokyo** (東京, *Tōkyō*) is a large industrial nation currently ruled by Raffles III. It has eight different Special Fire Forces handling the jurisdiction of the various districts.

## Overview

Although it is styled as "empire" in name, Tokyo is more of an industrial city-state, divided into separate districts and ruled as a theocracy. Tokyo features many different train stations for transport, including the **Tabata** (田端) and **Komagome** (駒込) stations. To combat the Infernals, the Special Fire Force were founded from various institutions and given different territories to protect. There also exists a large complex of underground tunnels known as The Netherworld, which the Holy Sol Temple forbids entry to without explicit permission.

The exact history of the Empire is unclear, as historical record clashes with the teachings of the Holy Sol Temple. It is known that many years ago, The Great Disaster caused calamity across the world to the point where continents began ripping apart, some to the point of becoming being uninhabitable. The Tokyo Empire was the only safe haven for civilization during the catastrophe. Thanks to The Holy Sol Temple and Haijima Industries working together to build the Amaterasu together with the aid of the Joseph family, an abundance of power and life was available to the empire, allowing more people to migrate to Tokyo and large amounts of technological growth. Due to this migration, Tokyo customs slowly changed, such as it becoming common to put one's given name in front of their family name (name-surname) and for people to refer to each other by their given names. These developments are not found in Asakusa, where they don't utilize the power of Amaterasu, as they do not believe in the Empire's traditions.
