Kamiyuko Shogunate

The Kamiyuko Shogunate, also known the Nation of Kamiyuko or simply Kamiyuko, is a militaristic state modeled after the Japanese Empire and the Tokugawa Shogunate that is located within the northwestern region of the Northern Realms, bordering Fredonia to the southeast and Ul'karz Ghunn to the north. It was originally founded by Kenshin Yamauchi as a democracy  to promote order and stability among the Japanese high schoolers of the settlement just after the Great Incident. However, it was later taken over by Izo Orshiro, who proclaimed himself Shogun and transformed into a totalitarian fascist state with Shintoism as the state religion.

Religion and Philosophy

 * Shintoism: Being founded by Japanese high school caught by the Great Incident, Kamiyuko's state religion is that of Shintoism. It portrays the Shogun as a god-like figure who would lead the Kamiyukese to a golden age.
 * Ethnic Nationalism: The Shogunate promotes a policy of ethnic pride, expansionism, and xenophobia that the Kamiyukese, being of Japanese descent, are a race superior to all others, both human and otherwise. The government strictly forbids race-mixing and everyone participating in a rally would wave the black-and-yellow flag of the nation, which bares Tokugawa symbol.
 * Patriarchy: Kamiyukese society promotes a male-dominated society based on "traditional" gender roles. Female members are expected to be subserviant to whoever the government assigns them to be married to. They are also expected to have two to three children. These harsh policies ensure that the Japanese "super race" would have new recruits for its military. Women are treated as little more than cattle born only to breed the next generation. Because of this, the concept of marriage is illegal. Homosexuals are rounded up and executed as they are viewed as "degenerates."
 * Militarism: The Shogunate installs a militaristic society based on the philosophy of "death before dishonor." Male members of the nation are trained and indoctrinated into the ranks of the military to fight and die in their service to the Shogun.
 * Eugenics: Kamiyuko promotes a eugenics program backed with the notion that people of Japanese blood are racially "superior" to all others, human or otherwise. Any offspring who are born with defects and or mental disabilities are immediately by order of the state.
 * Bushido: The Shogunate seeks to bring back the glory days of Feudal Japan, viewing the Samurai code as the ideal philosophy for a stable society. The commanding officers of its military have katanas as signs of status and authority, signifying their place within the upper ranks of the military hierarchy.
