Society
Japan is a medium-sized nation in terms of population, currently at over 1400 citizens! Few citizens are native Japanese, with a majority of players originating from foreign nations, particularly from the USA. The community of Japan is notorious for its light-hearted fashion of playing, with most citizens more worried about having fun, rather than 'winning' the game. However, in times of need, the Japanese populace has been known to rise above this non-serious approach to defend itself and its allies.
With the lack of Japanese speakers, the Japanese Diet along with government-run services are mainly held in English.
Emperor of Japan
For a detailed history of this controversial position, see Emperor of Japan.
The current Emperor of Japan is Kokawayoshi Makoto.
The topic of instating an Emperor of Japan has always been a topic of much discord within the Japanese community, with discussions being mired with concerns of such a position being undemocratic or biased towards specific groups. In the past citizens had been nominated for such a position, but every time the subject was democratically approached the motion was voted down.
HIZUMI, Oraizan and Tohru all claimed the position on April 13, 2009 (or better known as Empress Day by some) in what some people have deemed a joke activity to spur activity in the media and to encourage discussion within the community once again. The event ended with mixed results with cabinet ministers resigning over the affair.
Finally, after a great deal of debate, The Imperial Diet voted on Kokawayoshi Makoto being installed as Japan's first official Imperial Emperor.
Constitution of Japan
For the full text, see: Constitution of Japan
A new debate on an official constitution for Japan started in early August 2009 which among many things included a position of Emperor. Ultimately, a vote passed 23-7 for this proposal on the first of September.
Mainly a ceremonial document, the constitution also covers the basic rights and guiding principals for Japan.

Imperial Army
The Japanese Military is currently split up amongst two organizations, the Japanese Imperial Army and the Japanese Imperial Navy.
South Korea
Japan engaged in a war with South Korea shortly after the war module came online, the war was long and hard however in the end victory was in Japan's hands as they conquered the whole of South Korea in an undramatic conquest. Japan was only momentarily delayed by freedom fighters being helped greatly by the mercenary group, The Third Army. See the Japan-South Korea War.
In November 2008, ATLANTIS backed freedom-fighters liberated the regions of Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheongnam-do, and Gyeongsangnam-do. Until May 2009 when the South Korean government decided to form a union with Japan, these three territories remained sovereign South Korean regions. Sporadic resistance wars occured during the months between the original resistance wars and the formation of the union. However, none of these resistance wars were supported or funded by either the South Korean or Japanese governments.
An attempt in late August 2009 for independance failed when foreign elements gained a majority in the Congressional elections and the country was reabsorbed by Japan.
However, in September 2009 Theocrats from Switzerland started what became known as the Theocrat Rebellion and took control of Gyeonggi-do and delclared South Korea an independent and sovereign nation. Theocrats continue to start resistance wars across South Korea in an attempt to make South Korea a nation under Theocracy.
