Faction Introduction
(Introduce your faction to us in brief. Who are they? Why are they in Menyamithl? What is their objective? etc. everything you think is important. If your people live in giant tress or underground, or any special trait, list it here as well.)

Faction Features
(What are your faction's most notable features? Speak in general terms, preferably put them in points as a list of strengths/weaknesses)

Faction Rank: This is of uttermost importance. You faction can range from rank 1 to 10. This shows the relative tech level of your nation and gives everyone a general idea about your dangerousness. It also sets a cap for the Faction Size. Eg.: a Rank 1 faction of stone age primitives will have many people, likely 10 times more than that of a Rank 10, a bigger territory to house all the people, but a shittier tech level and less industry.

A Rank 1 Faction should have around 100k people, whilst a Rank 10 should have no more than 2000. 100k 80k 60k 50k 30k 20k 15k 7.5k 4k 2k



Influence Rank: Not much to say here. Better Influence will make it more likely that NPCs avoid you, and makes your borders bigger. This always starts at 1, and can grow up as you conquer more land, and expand your army.

Population: Standard civilians are not enccessarely a thing, but I advise that you do indeed get some some. Most likely you cam to this world so you can kill shit and burn some other stuff, but without people who farm for you or make ammunition and work in factories, you'll have a hard time going far in your conquest. This should be around the size of your military force max, and more advanced techs will obviously make it so you need less people :P

Military: Please note on this section that not all of your starting pop can be Military Personnel, unless your description says otherwise, in which case you'll get less people in total. Please make it so your Army size is around 40-50% of your population. The composition should be realistic, so no god moded all mechs style things. Like around 60% Infantry, 20% light motorized, 10% heavy motorized, and 15-15% Aircraft and Support (this is only a draft).

Menyamithl is a unique palce that exists in a separate plane of reality. As thus there is no real space travel, and there is a amgical force preventing all high tech nations from exiting the highest orbit of it. Whilst the moons themselves are pretty close, it is impossible to land on them, and having such things as space stations around them usually meets the wrath of gods, with accidents and enraged tribemen to carry them out.

Menyamithl has it's own Calendar. It is composed of 472 days and 6 months, Anhis, Fensu, Kalah, Nonedar, Sirtien and Haskon. The first two are each 78 days long, the rest is 79 days long. A day lasts around 31 Earth hours, with 18 hours of night every day. This lets the 3 moons of the planet, Kusha, Mekar and Kulna to shine as bright as they can, often making nighttime to be filled with dank lightning. (for more info, I have a link with the JSON file that you can use at donjon, which I highly recomend as it will give you a better insight on the NPC events and teh general gist of the time passing.)

And finally we have a world map, that is also thanks to donjon. It marks the major cities and nations that already exist, and shows the natural landscape. However feel free to add things like faces in teh mountain or gigantic skeletons of long dead creatures if you wish so. Floating islands are also allowed, but when you amrk your place on the map, please tell us if you spawned on one.

Faction Introduction:

The date is November 11, 1944, and it is the end of an era. All of Asia and Oceania is dominated by the Empire of Japan, and Hitler has gutted the Soviet Union and achieved his dreams of Lebensraum. The Royal Navy is no more - but mere wrecks and burned-out hulks on the bottoms of the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. America sits idly by, having done nothing since the start of the greatest war known to mankind, for its people had become simply too sympathetic to the Axis cause, frustrating Roosevelt's bellicose foreign policy.

Japan now sits as the second greatest power in the world, following behind Germany, although its people believe their country to be the best. Since the coronation of His Divine Majesty, the Emperor Showa, what was once an island nation with two unremarkable colonies has expanded into a truly global empire with unprecedented influence. Its armies have fought from the mountains of China, to the jungles of Java, and to the deserts of Australia and Arabia, time and time again humiliating the Allied ground forces. Similarly basking in glory is the Imperial Japanese Navy, which, under the guidance of the wise Admiral Yamamoto, has single-handedly destroyed the once-feared Royal Navy.

Britain has exhibited only the finest incompetence during the entirety of the Second World War, and Imperial General Headquarters believes that the landings on their mainland, scheduled to begin next month, will be nothing but a resounding success if the trend continues. Incidentally, Japan's introduction to interdimensional highways and parallel universes came at the hands of the British, who'd kept a research facility dedicated to such fields in Egypt since the interbellum period. With Italy's Regia Marina patrolling the Mediterranean, the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Indian Ocean, relocating the facility became impossible, and so its personnel continued to work there until the soldiers of the Rising Sun came knocking on their doors. Indeed, while the working wormhole was fascinating, the whole affair reinforced the emerging stereotype of British airheadedness, although perhaps undeservedly so. Germany and Japan were mastering atomic and jet engineering, and what does Britain pursue? Other worlds!

Faction Features:

Imperial General Headquarters is currently on an exploratory stance regarding the so-called "other world," but will seek to claim and consolidate territory once the Second World War ends in two months and they bring more troops and scientific personnel through the wormhole in Egypt. Japanese forces in the alternate reality have the potential to grow to up to half a million in strength.

The Imperial Japanese Army has evolved greatly in the short span of five years. The conquest of China encouraged such an industry boom that weapons research and development were supercharged. The standard small arms of the Japanese soldier of the day is the Type 2 Rifle, whose semi-automatic mechanism would have been deemed too wasteful in the more frugal pre-1940's era. Other areas of thinking have also changed: despite the rumors and exaggerated tales, it is now very rare of Japanese soldiers to perform a bayonet charge, as Imperial officers no longer believe in an overabundance of fighting spirit to compensate for a materiel shortage that is no longer there.

The Japanese soldier will not surrender. Morale is exorbitantly high as the average serviceman believes that the Gods themselves are giving him all of these glorious victories.

Accompanying the expeditionary force to the alternate reality will be scientists of various backgrounds.

Military:

The IJA of 1944 has all the features of a well-lead and well-equipped armed force in that period. Currently assigned to the alternate reality is the 2nd "Yu" Infantry Division, lead by Mj. Gen. Hyakutake. The unit is among the oldest IJA formations (and this is evident in its rather obsolescent square formation) and has been fighting since the Second Sino-Japanese War under the same leader. Both the enlisted and the officers are veterans of years of modern warfare.
