It is also one of the richest countries on the Realm due to their highly robust economy and high amounts of international trade. It is allied with many nations through the CAA (Countries Against Albania), it is also allied with countries such as the CSA (Confederate States of America) that fall out of the CAA sphere. Japan is well known for their beautiful cities and for having a high quality of life in urban environments. The government operates under a constitutional monarchy (the current ruler being Fung Wah) and is currently divided into four prefectures: Tokyo, Rishiri, Sangyo, and Okinawa. The site of the current capitol is in Okinawa.

History
Japan was the first contemporary power on the Realm, becoming the Empire of Japan in 1973. The first island is now the head island of Rishiri Atoll and is located in the Great Spawn Ocean. The first island is kept maintained as a historical landmark for all visitors to see. The island was attacked and bombed heavily by Albanian agents in March 2020 but new terraforming technology has allowed scientists and cartographers to return the island to its former shape. Japan has good relations with Dexistan and the Greater Teutonic Realm as they became allies shortly after the creation of the two latter countries.

Government
The nation is divided up into 4 prefectures (Tokyo, Rishiri, Sangyo, and Okinawa). Japan also rules over the UAE, Yemen, South Sudan, Vietnam, Taijikakekastan, Italy, and many other overseas territories. The country is ruled by Emperor Fung Wah and operates under a constitutional monarchy. The government has many agencies and roles such as Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) (merged into Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Construction (merged into Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport), Ministry of Transport (merged into Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport), Ministry of Home Affairs (merged into Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications), Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (divided into Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and Japan Post), Ministry of Education (merged into Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), Ministry of Health and Welfare (merged into Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare), Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Colonial Affairs, Ministry of War, Ministry of the Navy, and the Ministry of Greater East Asia.

Wars
Japan, being arguably the most powerful military force, usually must join a side in every war. Japan has led the CAA coalition to victory in the First Great Realm War, The Second Great Realm War, the UN invasion of Albania, and several other engagements. Japan is known for exacerbating world tensions over arguably egotistical provocations but the conflicts incited by Japan almost always end in a Japanese victory.
