[b]History of the Nation[/b]:
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. 

[i]It is time, you know what must be done.[/i]

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.  

[b]Main Race (What is your State Race + Racial Demographics):[/b]

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.

[b]Main Religion (What is your State Religion + Religious Demographics):[/b]
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. 

[b]Other:[/b]
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.
