[h2]Premise[/h2][hr][indent][indent][list]
[*] Starting date and location August 13, 2055, in the fictional rural town of [b]Suribachi[/b], Hyōgo prefecture, Japan.
[*] The following technologies are widespread: VR, Internet of Things, cybernetic limbs and implants, self-driving cars, household robots.
[*] Since the early 2020s, Japan’s population began experiencing a severe slump, threatening to drop to 85 million people by the current date if left unattended.
[*] This forced Japan to weaken its immigration policy, reducing requirements for work visas, residential permits, and even naturalization.
[*] A sudden influx of immigrants from Korea, a drastically overpopulated China, Southeast Asia, India, South America, Russia, and the United States start to arrive on Japanese soil to live and work, turning Japan into a multicultural society.
[*] With these drastic social changes came an increased crime rate, with mafias from other countries expanding their influence into cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Sapporo.
[*] Other minor crime families from Moscow, New York, and Shanghai war for control over territory in the Japanese countryside.
[*] Suribachi, a humble town of around 70,000, has long been yakuza territory, but in recent years a San Francisco-based family called the [b]Sycamores[/b] have challenged their claim from Kobe.
[*] Drive-by shootings, muggings, and street brawls have become more common in Suribachi. Many people are fleeing the violence, left untethered by an ineffectual prefectural government.
[*] Yet your character, who may be a recent visitor or a long-time resident, has decided to stay. Do they have unfinished business? Grudges to settle? Loose threads to sever?[/list][/indent][/indent]
