Japan

Japan (Japanese: Nippon), also known as the State of Japan and sometimes the Empire of Japan was an East Asian island nation located primarily on four large islands, Honshu, Hokkaido, Shikoku and Kyushu.

Japan was traditionally a monarchy, with a line of emperors going back millennia. During the Second World War, it became the only nation to fall victim to a nuclear attack prior to the Century War. Two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan at the hands of the United States.

History
Japan existed for thousands of years before the Unification. It was involved in the Second World War, and thereafter became an antagonist of communist North Korea. At the beginning of the Century War, Japan was invaded by North Korea, and came under it's complete control, but quickly regained it's independence, and contributed to the downfall of North Korea and the reunification of the Korean Peninsula.

Decades later, the Kingdom of Korea (a revival of North Korea) arose and conquered the Japanese island of Hokkaido. This resulted in the rest of Japan coming under the protection of the Averte Statum, and Hokkaido ultimately being recaptured by the Vostok Union. After six years of occupation, Japan regained autonomy.
