<Snipped quote by Nerevarine>

O.o how?

Does one of my tribes suddenly end up in Japan or something?

@ClocktowerEchos

Nah, more like displacing some tribes near Manchuria or Northern Korea, and starting a chain reaction of migration that leads to a large number of Korean Tribes moving into the Japanese Islands

The Rise of Man (Fallout-like RP)

I might be claiming a lot of land since the Khergit are nomadic hordes its the Russian interior/central Asia. I don't think there would be much there anyways. It'll be fun once I try to go into Asia proper or the Middle East or Eastern Europe, it'd be nice to get into a fight which my guys can't just steam roll with sheer numbers.

That said, anyone want interaction with meh? Its getting rather lonely on the plains ;-;

@ClocktowerEchos

I have an idea for something that I'm running by MetalLover, and if he approves it, you could get some indirect interaction with Japan as the catalyst of the event

The Rise of Man (Fallout-like RP)

Such weapons, at least for Japan, are rarities only for major invasions, such as the attack on Kanto in the last post, given that most fighting at the moment is dealing with rogue tribes, and infighting between feudal lords, so they are rarely used.

Also, i have a plan for what will happen with a lot of that new land in the future.

The Rise of Man (Fallout-like RP)

Shogunate of Osaka

Outside of Tokyo, Kingdom of Kanto

FIRE!

Dust burst off of the walls of Tokyo, followed by a loud bang as the slug tears a massive hole into the defenses of the city. The attacking Samurai manning the artillery scrambled to rearm the Rail-gun that they were using for the attack, as a few other ballistic artillery fighers shelled the city. In the last two days, Torijin had been bombing the city of Tokyo, destroying all transportation, storage and manufacturing centers, the defenses of Tokyo had been utterly crippled as the Osakans were piling onto the city, tearing apart its defenders and, slowly but surely, they were taking control of the city.

Hisoka-Osama had planned the battle for most of his time, since he had failed to take Tokyo in the first annexation of Kanto. It had been a long, while, while the peace treaty between Osaka and Kanto was enacted; but Hisoka never had any fear, he knew that it was unlikely that any other useful nations to bolster the defenses of Kanto would be present in the North, scouts had already determined the area was inhabited mostly by disorganized Japanese and Korean Tribes, or roving bands of mutants. When the day came to declare war, Hisoka did so with little second thought. For almost a week, the Osakans had been occupying most of what was left of the Kingdom of Kanto, and now they were upon the walls of Tokyo, said to be impenetrable, rebuilt from the ground up by the descendants of the Kanto bunker's population.

But Tokyo would fall, as all cities did.

With the slug of a railgun once more, the steel walls of Tokyo were torn open, and the Samurai, soldiers from the Date and Mori clans, began to rush in, switching from their single shot Tanegamshima, to the fully automatic Juu, as they mowed down anyone that got in their way. The bloodbath that was becoming of Tokyo, showed how little the Kanto Government had prepared for this attack, that they were putting their faith totally in their defenses to hold off the Osakans. However, this time, they were not so lucky. Perhaps, if the Date Clan had not discovered that Railgun, they may have survived, but now, there was nothing to save them.

General Ren Date had been commanding the combined forces of the Date and Mori clans, and now he was riding, on his Uma, towards the center of Tokyo, to capture the King of Kanto, and to claim the entirety of the Kanto State for the Shogun.

"Leave no survivors in your wake, they must all die!"

Artillery continued to fire into the heart of the city, and the soldiers carried on, reaching the heart of Tokyo not long after, and swarming the palace of the King. Ren Date himself dismounted from his transport, and entered into the building, with a team of Samurai gunmen to provide cover. Upon breaking into the doors of the palace, soldeirs fired upon the strike team, with Ren and his men responding by shooting at the gunmen in the ceilings and balconies, with Ren using his trusted pistol to take out a few on the ground and in the higher areas. The strike team moved quickly, making their way into the palace.

"Your lands and your city are under the Control of Hisoka Minami-Osama! Surrender yourself and your life may yet be spared!" Ren shouted into the vacant corridors of the palace, as the team descended futher, taking out more armed guards, and loosing a few men of their own as they entered deeper into an underground labryinth of steel and concrete, growing ever darker and more compact as the steps lead further into the earth.

This, this could not have been built by the people of Kanto. The Bunker that they had stepped into, its hellish design, freightining, even to Date himself, as if a fear embedded into his genes; it was like stepping into the land of the dead, a relic of a time long passed. This was, a bunker from before the war, perhaps the one that the ancestors of the Kanto Kingdom's founders had escaped from, like the same that Takeshi lead the Kansaijin out of. Reconfigured, from a dying people's last chance, to a cowardly king's fortress of solitude while his people died outside.

"Men, we push on; if The King of Kanto will not sacrifice himself to save his people, than kill him just like they"

Deeper still, until they found him, not in sight, but with arms that wrapped around Ren Date, like Yokai's hands as they swept him into the darkness, a blastproof hydraulic door slamming behind him, as the General was thrown into the dark safe room, his assailant, the King himself, like a inky silhouette against a flickering light source. Date's guns had been tossed to the side, and from his blurred sight, he could make out the shape of a sword, a Katana in the classical design, in the hand of the King. As the man charged to Date, enraged, the general sprung to his feet, pulling out his own Sword, and perrying the blow that the king delt to him, kicking him underfoot to knock him to the ground. The King pulled himself to a sitting possition and trust his blade up, just barely missing Date's face, as the Samurai grabbed onto his arm, and pushed himself on top of the king, wrestling him to the ground, and reaching behind himself to detatch the emergency pistol he had on his back. Without a word, Date put the gun to the deposed monarch's head, and pulled the trigger.

When Ren Date emerged, his body covered in blood, he announced to his people; that it was over, Kanto had fallen, and Tokyo belonged to the Shogunate.

Though, the war was not yet over, the process of integrating the Territories of Kanto into the Shogunate would be a difficult one. Rebellion was rife in the air, though the Shogunate hoped that the sheer horror of the war would be enough to keep the Kantojin in line for a while at least. Other matters of expansion were to be attested to, such as the new plan to settle on the island of Shikoku

Shikoku Colonization

Shikoku is an island not too far from Osaka City proper, a perfect place for expansion. According to scoutings, the Island was devoid of sapient life for the most part (save a few odd mutants here and there), with plenty of wild life for hunting and uncontaminated soil for farming. That was what the settlers intended to do, as their colony would begin in the region of Awa.

It's...so different from Osaka, Naoko Akagawa, a 16 year old freeman child, who had spent her entire life in the urbanized regions of Osaka City, was caught in awe, every day, by the sights of the wild plant-life, and fantastical animals who inhabited Awa. Her family had taken to farming, a vital role in these times, with food so short.

Naoko sat by her father's side, as he was milking some cows, with Naoko taking the buckets of milk out to a cooled storage area, until they were needed.

"Naoko-Chan, while you are there, bring me back two bags of corn meal, and all the rice that we have stored in the blue case."

"Okay!" Naoko said, hurrying to get the items, and placing them into her father's truck as they got ready to deliver the goods to the nearby Samurai house in the town. A payment, to continue living in the Daimyo's lands. The Agriculture that could be attained in the Awa region, and soon all of Shikoku, would be able to sustain further conquests, and feed the hungry people of Osaka.

Kyoto, the City of Ronin

@Keyguyperson

Moriko awoke early, as she usually did when with a client, as she moved over to the bathroom to wash herself. Kyoto, a city with much to see, but with a population too dead inside to appreciate its beauty. The first to fall, and the last to rise up again, the city existed outside the jurisdiction of any Daimyo, largely granted by the Shogun as a place for exiles, a place beyond the Pale that Ronin, Criminals, Shinobi, and other illicit figures could reside in with little to hide. Due to its political autonomy, Kyoto was built, and remains, a communally owned location, a city founded on the misery of the exiled and damned.

Moriko was no different, she remembered vividly of how her clan cast her out, for her actions towards a Korean Tribe the encroached upon the Clan's territories, and in response, ordered an attack on the tribe, not realizing that the clan had secured an alliance with this Korean Tribe, the Haeju. As a result, the entire band was declared in infamy, and were given the choice of suicide or exile.

Moriko cursed herself in this memory, chosing to flee her clan, to Kyoto, than to die by her own hand. Perhaps, this was a fitting punishment for her, to wander the earth, doing what need be to survive. But, something seemed odd today. The ronin took note that her client was not in bed anymore, but had taken off, though she could hear activity coming from a nearby room; the clacking of keys, and a faint voice. Not of the opperator, but of some kind of transmission, first in a language she had never heard, and finally in Japanese. Mokoto looked out the window of the bedroom, her eyes widening as she saw a massive balloon ship, in the sky above the various pagodas and temples, with astonished onlookers pointing. Her ears perked up as she heard the familiar voice of the client say a line

"I have sent you the message, we will make contact and relay to the Shogun."

Shinobi..., Moriko, thought, as she heard the heavy footsteps move towards the room once more. Moriko fell into a false sleep, as the Ninja returned to the room, and gently shook her to wake her up. "Miss, I do not mean disrespect, but I feel you should return home now."

Moriko obliged and walked out of the door, but stuck by, curious as to what would happen next.

The Ninja spoke, broadcasting it to the strange source of the frequency.
"Hello, Strangers. Your signal is unusual to us, and we, the People of Kyoto, would like for you to make contact with us. We do not recognize your vehicles, nor its symbols. We request that you land near the city of Kyoto, at the following Coordiantes, and a group will meet with you."

As the Shinobi got up, Moriko decided to walk a bit away to, make it seem like she was walking abit, but, she failed, as she heard his voice as he opened the door. "I know you have been listening Ronin," Moriko froze, and turned to him.
"We will be in need of Mercenaries to approach these foreigners, so I will be conscripting you, and a few other Ronin, to come with myself and a few others to meet with them. You will comply, or you will be killed."

Moriko paused, and nodded. "Okay, I will come with."

"Good, now, we will be meeting in a field not too far from the Shrine of Raijin, let us head out there at once."

The Rise of Man (Fallout-like RP)

Inspired by Willy, I'm going to do a write up of Samurai Clan foot soldiers

Samurai

Two Samurai

Samurai technically refers to any member of a samurai clan, however, in the imaginations of most foreign peoples, the word Samurai only refers to the fearsome foot soldiers who answer the calls of their feudal masters to fight to the death on the battle field (more properly known as Ashigaru). Samurai are, however, not the immortal, invincible super soldiers that foreign legends often make them out to be, and one must take into account their nature to get an idea as to how they function.

Ashigaru are the official guardians of the Daimyo's lands; they may be of any sex (and over time, more and more female samurai are taking up combat roles as demand calls them in), so long as they are above the age of 16, belong to the Samurai caste, are part of a clan, have a daimyo master, and are able to provide their own weapons and armor.

Clans

A collection of samurai clan symbols
The Clan is the Most Basic organization of the Samurai, a collection of families who usually claim descent from a common ancestor, usually one who has been deified. The Clan is in possession of Clan Lands granted to them by the Daimyo, though the lands are de jure ruled by the Daimyo that owns them. The Clans will often join together to form tribals, comprised of clans with strong links, usually comprised of all of the clans that live under the lands of the same Daimyo. The Clan is guided by an elder, who is the oldest living member of the Clan, and who, along with other elders in the tribe, act as direct emissaries and advisors to the Daimyo.

Weaponry

Depiction of a war between two Daimyo, with Samurai of two different clans engaged in warfare. A varient of the Oni Style tank is depicted, its design is characteristic of the Inaba clan.

Though Samurai Clans are granted money from their Daimyo as payment for their services, each clan is expected to purchase or manufacture their own weapons and armor. As as result, each samurai clan is known to have designs for their arms and vehicles that are completely unique to them. However, the general idea of weapons is typically similar among all Samurai Clans in the Osakan state.

Tanegashima
Tanegashima is a generic name for any non-automatic firearm that is used by Samurai. In Intraclan Wars, Intratribal Conflict, or minor conflicts between Daimyo, these are the most commonly used weapons. They are typically produced by the clan themselves, but can be purchased rather easily by even freemen civilians, who often buy them from Samurai in order to use for hunting, or personal protection. They are simple ballistic rifles, the most commonly used are descendants of the Howa Type 64 battle rifle, whose design has been expanded upon and improved by various clans.

In the Common Vernacular of the Samurai, a Tanegashima which has been outfited with a bayonette is refered to as a Naginata.

Juu
A Juu is a fully automatic rifle, all other kinds of gun, including semiautomatics fall under the Tanegashima label. Juu are strictly regulated to the Samurai, with ownership by a freeman punishable by prison time. Juu are constructed directly by the Samurai, and are most commonly used in conflicts that involve conquest, the extermination of a clan marked for death, or defending against an invasion.

Teppo
Teppo is a term used to refer to energy weapons, such as laser rifles, plasma rifles, and handheld railguns. Teppo are rare weapons, many of which are only recently being rediscovered after the destruction of Japan in the War of the Gods. Teppo are treated like rare treasures by the Samurai, who keep them as clan relics, only to be used by the most distinguished of soldiers. The Most common Teppo are plasma rifles, with Laser weaponry a close second. Railguns are very rare, and some of the most cherished items that can be possessed.

Taiho
Taiho are usually separated into two distinct classes, True Taiho, and Tanku. A True Taiho is any kind of artillery weapon, such as a cannon, mortar bomb, and energy artillary. A Tanku is a large war vehicle, that is equiped with a powerful gun, and strong armor.

Nihonto

The Nihonto is the Sword, a symbolic weapon of the Samurai class. Nihonto are more symbolic than practical, with use of firearms being much more useful for a Samurai. However, due to their powerful meanings, Nihonto are by law restricted to Samurai ownership, and any freeman found in possession of a sword is subject to the death penalty. When a Samurai reaches the age of 16, they are expected to craft their own sword, as part of their coming of age ceremony. As a result, each sword is unique to its creator; and many times, a slain samurai will have their sword taken from them as a trophy.

Tori
Tori is a slang term for Aircraft. Aircraft have been very popular among Samurai since they were rediscovered, and virtually every clan is in possession of a decent sized fleet. Tori are decorated in Clan Symbols, and often have a distinct signature of their pilot. A Pilot is known in the Samurai Vernacular as a Torijin (Birdman).

Uma

In Pre-War Japanese, Uma meant horse. However, with the extinction of the Horse in Japan following the war, many of the Kansaijin knew of the Uma as some kind of legendary spirit of wind, that could run faster than anything in the world, and that many heroes rode as a sign of their power. In modern Japanese, the word Uma means a light vehicle used for quick movement and mounted combat. The Uma resembles a motorcycle, which may have been their basis for construction. However, the Uma is much more armored than an average motorcycle, and is equiped with spots to store weapons for later use. An Uma-Rider often fights with a Tanegashima, even in battles which would call for an automatic rifle, as the single shot or semi automatic nature allows them to be more accurate in their shots from the back of the Uma. Many Uma are also equiped with side-mounted guns, to aid in taking out close targets.

Ronin

A Ronin living in Kyoto, a common region for exiled Samurai
Ronin are Samurai who are without a master or a clan. There are ways that this can happen, such as exile from the Clan due to dishonor, The death of a master, and the inability to find a new one, surviving the extermination of a clan following its conquest, or self-ejection from a clan or rejection of a new master. As Ronin are technically outside of the Feudal System, they technically do not have the protections of other Samurai, and as such they are officially restricted from using or owning Samurai only weaponry, and do not have the high-class protecton that other samurai have, as such they are often treated as somewhere between Freemen and Slaves on the social hierarchy.

Ronin are seen as dishonorable, and untrustworthy, but at the same time, are seen as true survivors, and models of self sufficiency and perserverence. As they are without income from a master, Ronin are known to engage in odd jobs, temporary unskilled labor, security work, prostitution, espionage, banditry, and mercenary work for pay. If they are lucky, a Ronin may often find a new master.

Bushido

Bushido is the code of honor that makes up the basis of the samurai way of life. It is in many ways, a reconstruction of the old code as used in the Japanese middle ages, though it has been expanded upon for life in the post-apocalypse.

The young samurai must learn the code from birth, and be able to understand it, and recite the Oath of the Warrior, a written poem said to succinctly embody the virtues of Bushido, composed by the First King of Osaka himself.

Bushido is associate with the following virtues

Righteousness (義 gi)
Courage (勇 yū)
Benevolence (仁 jin)
Respect (礼 rei)
Sincerity (誠 makoto)
Honor (名誉 meiyo)
Loyalty (忠義 chūgi)
Self-Control (自制 jisei)
Filial piety (孝 kō)
Wisdom (智 chi)
Fraternal Respect (悌 tei)

As a result, it is well known that the Samurai are often engaged in scholarly and philosophical pursuits when not in war. The samurai is expected to be a warrior, scholar and artist, and to be an upstanding example of honor and virtue. As a result, Samurai are often gravely punished by their clansmen should they show disreputable behavior, such as engaging in dishonest practices, excessive violence, abuses of their fellow clansmen, or transgressions on their master. In the case of an extreme act of dishonor, a samurai was given the choice of engaging in ritual suicide to repent for their actions, or to go into exile as a ronin, and forever live in infamy as an outlaw.

Edit:
And as a Bonus, one more

Ninja

A Ninja, also known as a Shinobi, is a kind of spy employed by Daimyo or even the Shogun to collect intelligence on potential enemies, to spy on potential trouble-making factions in the realm, and engage in acts of sabotage. Most Ninja belong to the Freeman class, as the Samurai's code of honor prevents them from engaging in the activies that are necessary for the Shinobi; but occassionally one may find a ninja who is a Ronin, and as such, is vital to the physical aspect of espionage.

Ninja are not purely about physical combat and infiltration, those who are knowledgable on skills such as computer hacking, collection of information online, encryption, bugging, wire-tapping, cryptography, code-breaking, creation of computer viruses, rootkits and spyware, and physical forensics are just as vital as those who work in fields such as assassination, kidnapping, theft of documents, infiltration of organizations, escort missions, interrogation, and torture.

Ninja are shrouded in secrecy, and it is probably that if you become aware of one's occupation, that they will have no problem killing you to keep it a secret.

The arts of a ninja's work is known as Ninjitsu, though it is more than just a martial art, it encompass all aspects of spying. Only those who have been chosen and initiated into a shinobi organization may be educated in its ways.

For the most part, Ninja do not deviate much from the appearance of a commoner, they are not in any way open about their ways, and will often deny the existence of Ninja entirely as a myth, or display a kind of belief that seems delusional. Due to the illegality of many of their weapons and other accessories, Ninja are masters of smuggling and creating hiding places, and only bring along what is absolutely necessary for their work. Many Ninja are also able to mimic vernaculars of other classes, or the dialects of other regions.

History of the Nation:
When the bombs fell upon Japan, it was only inevitable that a trade city like Osaka would face a great brunt of the force. A portion of the population of all of Kansai's cites and towns fled to a bunker, located near the city of Nara. The Bunker was, however, poorly constructed, only able to keep out radiation, but with broken air filters, poor food storage, and all around sub par living conditions. The life expectancy in the bunker had dropped to 30 years old on average, meaning many generations would come and pass in this harsh place. Here, the survivors of the great war would lay in wait, with generation after generation passing by, wondering when next they could return to their homelands. For a long while, the people of the Nara bunker slowly began to forget what actually was beyond the gates of their subterranean home. Memories of Japan, of Kansai, began to become entwined with that of legend.

The people in the Bunker began to tell stories of how the gods, disgusted with the decadent lifestyle that the Japanese had taken up, destroyed the world, but focused their wrath especially upon their people, who they saw as degenerate and in need of destruction. They filled the world with demons and fire, and the ancestors of the vault dwellers were believed to actually have died in the destruction, and that the spirits of the ancestors were sent to a hellish plain, still to have children, so that each subsequent generation would suffer as well. It was said that the spirits were locked into a prison of iron, surrounded by powerful fire, and that demons guarded the doors to the outside world. The dwellers of the vault, now totally unaware of the reality of their origins, began to associate the fabled land of Kansai as the paradise that lay beyond their prison, and that Osaka was the name of a prophesied kingdom that would be founded; holding the belief that the Goddess Amaterasu was sympathetic to their cause, and would, when they were ready, send a chosen one, born from her and one of the human dwellers, to free them. And once the savior of the damned would rise up, and free the people of the vault from their hell, he would lead them into the promised paradise to found Osaka.

This did, in turn, prove to be partially true, as the Dwellers did eventually find their way out of the vault, though they were late to arising out of the vault, they eventually were, by a pseudo-legendary figure known under the birth name of Takeshi Minami. Minami was born to an unknown mother, who seemed to have been absent since his birth, and who, according to his father, Yoshiro, was very absent, and only appeared from time to time, and seemingly disappeared the next morning after giving birth to young Takeshi. By the time that Takeshi was 16, he began hearing voices, and having visions of an unknown world. By the time that he was 18, he had been receving these premonitions every night, and, when he turned 18, he received one final revelation.

It is time, you know what must be done.

Suddenly, something seemed to click, all those visions and messages that he had received. He had to break out of the vault.

Minami began to talk to everyone he could, alerting them to the prophetic dreams he had received, and urged them to join him in leaving hell, to go into the promised land. Though most found him to be insane at first, he did achieve followers, and over time, he built a strong party to take on whatever lay beyond the iron gates. When his critics began to detract from his claims, it is said that a miracle happened, and that, in the midst of giving a speech to empower his warriors, before they took on the demons of the outside world, that Takeshi's body glowed with sunlight, and that he had a voice befitting of a powerful king, despite being yet a young man. With his followers at the ready, The Warriors of Minami began their assault into the outside world.

The land of Japan was a damaged world, though vegetation and animals had become stable once again after the centuries that the Vault Dwellers spent underground. Soon, however, the trekers were attacked by Mutants, who they mistook to be the demons of the gods. The ferverous settlers slew all the mutants they could, and soon, they decided it was safe to begin the move onto land, and the march unto Kansai. From this point on, it is said that the people of the vault declared themselves, the Kansaijin, and adopted a temporary life of nomadism as they wandered in search of the promised land.

According to Minami's prophecies, the place were Osaka would be founded, was already chosen by his mother, Amaterasu, who said that she had built for him, a palace for he and his descendants to reside in until the end of all things. After restless trekking in the reborn wilderness of Japan, the Kansaijin, stumbled upon what was once the Osaka Castle, though damaged badly, it was still standing tall above the ruins of Osaka, now mostly reclaimed by nature. The Kansaijin rejoiced, and decide that they would settle in the spot surrounding the palace. Takeshi Minami was renamed to King Kyūseishu, as an honor in his vital role in bringing the Kansaijin to their new home.

However, one problem remained, the grounds near Osaka Castle were infested with mutants, who were quick to attack the Kansaijin as moved in. Thus began the war for Osaka, a battle between the mutants and the humans, ultimately ending with the extermination and expulsion of the mutants, and the settlement of the Kansaijin in the lands of Osaka. From here, it is said that King Minami distributed his lands into 13 pieces, his own personal lands, and 12 plots for his original 12 followers, who were made into his first Daimyo. From this point on, Osaka was largely a City State, though the Daimyo state would often expand outwards. Many records of the archaic period of Osaka have not survived, but it is known that the legend of the promised land began to take on a different meaning over time, with the promised land moving from not only Kansai, but the entirety of the Japanese Islands.

The Shogunate of Osaka really comes into history following their expansion into the Kingdom of Kanto, when they made a revelation that, they were not the only humans in Japan. An explanation developed, that said that following the formation of the Osakan City-State, that occasionally the trouble causing descendants of evil daimyo were expelled, that over time their descendants would form kingdoms of their own, and that as the kings were not descended from Amaterasu, who made a covenant with the Minami Family, that they were illegitimate kingdoms, and must be conquered. In reality, these other humans were likely the descendants of vault dwellers who came onto land. The Shogunate of Osaka has been slowly growing, colonizing new land, killing mutants, and annexing nearby kingdoms. The King waits for the day that he can declare himself Emperor, and unite his kingdom under the name of Japan. For now the Shogunate grows slowly, as technologies from the old days are discovered in ruins, and rediscovered by brilliant minds once again. Osaka is a military powerhouse, with growing technology to support it, though its feudal nature may in fact be the death of it.

Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):

The Shogunate is 98% Japanese; a minority of mutants exists as well, making up 2% of the population; they are mostly relegated to slave labor.

Main Religion (What is your State Religion + Religious Demographics):
The Religion of Osaka, practiced by virtually everyone in the Shogunate, is descended of Japanese Shinto, with the Kami still being present; however, the Osakans are very reverent towards Amaterasu, who they see as the great protector of all of Osaka. They also preform ceremonies and show reverence to King Kyūseishu, who receives a ceremony on the founding day of the Kingdom and on his birthday. It is said that there are elements of Osakan Shinto that seem to be foreign, and though they do not know it, these can be traced back to Christianity, which had a rather large presence in the culture of Japan prior to the bombings, due to growing western influences. Such is seen in Amaterasu's covenant, the presence of a Messianic figure with godly descent, and others.

Other:
The Society of The Osakan Shogunate follows the King (Shogun), who distributes land among the Daimyo. The Daimyo originally numbered in 12, but many more exist now, though all come from 12 aristocratic tribes, who are named after their legendary founder, one of the original Daimyo who were chosen by Kyūseishu. Below the Daimyo, are the Samurai, who are a military caste, in charge of watching over and protecting the Daimyo's lands, keeping his serfs in check, and answering his calls to war. Below the Samurai are the Freemen, who are any humans who do not fall into the previously stated classes, and are not slaves. Slaves are on the bottom, and mostly composed of prisoners of war, and mutants.

History of the Nation:
When the bombs fell upon Japan, it was only inevitable that a trade city like Osaka would face a great brunt of the force. A portion of the population of all of Kansai's cites and towns fled to a bunker, located near the city of Nara. The Bunker was, however, poorly constructed, only able to keep out radiation, but with broken air filters, poor food storage, and all around sub par living conditions. The life expectancy in the bunker had dropped to 30 years old on average, meaning many generations would come and pass in this harsh place. Here, the survivors of the great war would lay in wait, with generation after generation passing by, wondering when next they could return to their homelands. For a long while, the people of the Nara bunker slowly began to forget what actually was beyond the gates of their subterranean home. Memories of Japan, of Kansai, began to become entwined with that of legend.

The people in the Bunker began to tell stories of how the gods, disgusted with the decadent lifestyle that the Japanese had taken up, destroyed the world, but focused their wrath especially upon their people, who they saw as degenerate and in need of destruction. They filled the world with demons and fire, and the ancestors of the vault dwellers were believed to actually have died in the destruction, and that the spirits of the ancestors were sent to a hellish plain, still to have children, so that each subsequent generation would suffer as well. It was said that the spirits were locked into a prison of iron, surrounded by powerful fire, and that demons guarded the doors to the outside world. The dwellers of the vault, now totally unaware of the reality of their origins, began to associate the fabled land of Kansai as the paradise that lay beyond their prison, and that Osaka was the name of a prophesied kingdom that would be founded; holding the belief that the Goddess Amaterasu was sympathetic to their cause, and would, when they were ready, send a chosen one, born from her and one of the human dwellers, to free them. And once the savior of the damned would rise up, and free the people of the vault from their hell, he would lead them into the promised paradise to found Osaka.

This did, in turn, prove to be partially true, as the Dwellers did eventually find their way out of the vault, though they were late to arising out of the vault, they eventually were, by a pseudo-legendary figure known under the birth name of Takeshi Minami. Minami was born to an unknown mother, who seemed to have been absent since his birth, and who, according to his father, Yoshiro, was very absent, and only appeared from time to time, and seemingly disappeared the next morning after giving birth to young Takeshi. By the time that Takeshi was 16, he began hearing voices, and having visions of an unknown world. By the time that he was 18, he had been receving these premonitions every night, and, when he turned 18, he received one final revelation.

It is time, you know what must be done.

Suddenly, something seemed to click, all those visions and messages that he had received. He had to break out of the vault.

Minami began to talk to everyone he could, alerting them to the prophetic dreams he had received, and urged them to join him in leaving hell, to go into the promised land. Though most found him to be insane at first, he did achieve followers, and over time, he built a strong party to take on whatever lay beyond the iron gates. When his critics began to detract from his claims, it is said that a miracle happened, and that, in the midst of giving a speech to empower his warriors, before they took on the demons of the outside world, that Takeshi's body glowed with sunlight, and that he had a voice befitting of a powerful king, despite being yet a young man. With his followers at the ready, The Warriors of Minami began their assault into the outside world.

The land of Japan was a damaged world, though vegetation and animals had become stable once again after the centuries that the Vault Dwellers spent underground. Soon, however, the trekers were attacked by Mutants, who they mistook to be the demons of the gods. The ferverous settlers slew all the mutants they could, and soon, they decided it was safe to begin the move onto land, and the march unto Kansai. From this point on, it is said that the people of the vault declared themselves, the Kansaijin, and adopted a temporary life of nomadism as they wandered in search of the promised land.

According to Minami's prophecies, the place were Osaka would be founded, was already chosen by his mother, Amaterasu, who said that she had built for him, a palace for he and his descendants to reside in until the end of all things. After restless trekking in the reborn wilderness of Japan, the Kansaijin, stumbled upon what was once the Osaka Castle, though damaged badly, it was still standing tall above the ruins of Osaka, now mostly reclaimed by nature. The Kansaijin rejoiced, and decide that they would settle in the spot surrounding the palace. Takeshi Minami was renamed to King Kyūseishu, as an honor in his vital role in bringing the Kansaijin to their new home.

However, one problem remained, the grounds near Osaka Castle were infested with mutants, who were quick to attack the Kansaijin as moved in. Thus began the war for Osaka, a battle between the mutants and the humans, ultimately ending with the extermination and expulsion of the mutants, and the settlement of the Kansaijin in the lands of Osaka. From here, it is said that King Minami distributed his lands into 13 pieces, his own personal lands, and 12 plots for his original 12 followers, who were made into his first Daimyo. From this point on, Osaka was largely a City State, though the Daimyo state would often expand outwards. Many records of the archaic period of Osaka have not survived, but it is known that the legend of the promised land began to take on a different meaning over time, with the promised land moving from not only Kansai, but the entirety of the Japanese Islands.

The Shogunate of Osaka really comes into history following their expansion into the Kingdom of Kanto, when they made a revelation that, they were not the only humans in Japan. An explanation developed, that said that following the formation of the Osakan City-State, that occasionally the trouble causing descendants of evil daimyo were expelled, that over time their descendants would form kingdoms of their own, and that as the kings were not descended from Amaterasu, who made a covenant with the Minami Family, that they were illegitimate kingdoms, and must be conquered. In reality, these other humans were likely the descendants of vault dwellers who came onto land. The Shogunate of Osaka has been slowly growing, colonizing new land, killing mutants, and annexing nearby kingdoms. The King waits for the day that he can declare himself Emperor, and unite his kingdom under the name of Japan. For now the Shogunate grows slowly, as technologies from the old days are discovered in ruins, and rediscovered by brilliant minds once again. Osaka is a military powerhouse, with growing technology to support it, though its feudal nature may in fact be the death of it.

Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):

The Shogunate is 98% Japanese; a minority of mutants exists as well, making up 2% of the population; they are mostly relegated to slave labor.

Main Religion (What is your State Religion + Religious Demographics):
The Religion of Osaka, practiced by virtually everyone in the Shogunate, is descended of Japanese Shinto, with the Kami still being present; however, the Osakans are very reverent towards Amaterasu, who they see as the great protector of all of Osaka. They also preform ceremonies and show reverence to King Kyūseishu, who receives a ceremony on the founding day of the Kingdom and on his birthday. It is said that there are elements of Osakan Shinto that seem to be foreign, and though they do not know it, these can be traced back to Christianity, which had a rather large presence in the culture of Japan prior to the bombings, due to growing western influences. Such is seen in Amaterasu's covenant, the presence of a Messianic figure with godly descent, and others.

Other:
The Society of The Osakan Shogunate follows the King (Shogun), who distributes land among the Daimyo. The Daimyo originally numbered in 12, but many more exist now, though all come from 12 aristocratic tribes, who are named after their legendary founder, one of the original Daimyo who were chosen by Kyūseishu. Below the Daimyo, are the Samurai, who are a military caste, in charge of watching over and protecting the Daimyo's lands, keeping his serfs in check, and answering his calls to war. Below the Samurai are the Freemen, who are any humans who do not fall into the previously stated classes, and are not slaves. Slaves are on the bottom, and mostly composed of prisoners of war, and mutants.
