Empire of Fuso



Type of Government:
Absolute/Administrative Monarchy

On paper, the Emperor works with his Court of nobles and ministers in which they equal each other out with checks and balances. In practice though, the Emperor rules with complete authority, taking the Court as "suggestions" or "advice". This is due to a mix of nepotism and political favors, as much of the Court is friends or members of the Imperial Family. It can be best described as the Emperor doing all the big moves and the Court doing the paper work. Ironically, the minsters and nobles in the court simply force the paperwork to other people within their departments.

The Emperor is chosen from the royal family based on two filters: age and popularity. As in most places, the oldest child has the greatest claim to the throne, but unlike many other places, if a girl is the eldest child, she is crowned Empress. As for popularity, it seems from the old idea that the heavens grant the Emperor the right to rule and thus the Emperor must appease the heavens and subsequently the people. Of course, the entire rule of popularity is mostly a tradition as the eldest will typically get into some spot of power regardless of their favorability.  

Head(s) of Government:
His Holiness, Emperor Tananao Shohu the Third

Economy:

The current economic status of the Empire is steadily increasing one, having boomed a century earlier. Its exports are usually light in nature, with its imports being towards the heavier side. Its said that foreigners can make a good deal of money as they are often recruited for expertise and training in various fields and industry.

The Fusan currency is the Jin, which is actually silver backed as gold is seemingly harder to find in the mountains compared to silver. It comes in 10, 100, 200, 500 and 10000 pieces, not becuse of inflation but due to a reason which translates to "because why the fuck not?"


Primary Species:
Zensensashi

Zensensashi (often shortened to Zensen), are famous for their incredible cold tolerance, to them, what a human would consider freezing is what they'd consider a "nice day". It goes with obvious note that they do not do well in hot climates, although they do enjoy warm weather and are notable more relax in warmer temperatures.

Appearance wise, they look extremely human like, the only difference is their hair and eyes and some other unique body features. Black hair is the most common hair color and come with streaks of other dark colors like dark violet, navy blue, and crimson. Their eyes are also a notable "dual layered", having two colors to an eye in a way that looks layered, having a solid "base eye" and then a slightly transparent "overlay". Zensen also boast of two things which easily identify them from any human, a devil-like tail and geometric lines at dance on their bodies.

Mentally, the entire race are reserved and nice, but are mild airheads. They're smart, but also derpy. This is most evident in their military arms, of which are mostly copies of foreign weapons but the ones they designed themselves are... interesting to say the least. However, despite being a very humble and gentle race, generations of constant war has hardened them, making them aggressive and suspicious if they are provoked. This is only compounded by the intense adoration of the Imperial Family, of which may or not be a result of heavy propaganda.

Zensensashi are basically Japanese people on ice with anime hair and hair colors, interesting eyes and lines on their bodies. They're a bunch of intelligent idiots but are kind at heart. While they typically are reserved, don't fuck with them outside of the bedroom. For all intensive purposes, calling them Fusan Humans are acceptable.


Population:
27 Million total
- 67% Zensan
- 19% Human
- 14% Other races

Culture:
Fuso is an interesting fusion of traditional and modern with the main values being of honor, modesty (behavior wise) and loyalty. Despite all three of these virtues being from ancient times, they have role in modern life. In most cases, the people do not lie but instead use ambiguous wording or lack of details in place of it. Through generations of Imperial reverence and propaganda, loyalty to the Emperor is the all important cornerstone of life. Zealous faith in their leader has lead to jokes about the nation being less of a monarchy than a theocracy. Sticking through out as people seldom double cross or betray. Modesty is not as much of a virtue, but something more in line with common sense, you act nice and you don't boast. All of these are somewhat flexible should the situation require it however, this sort of act is most notable in military and government.

There is another major aspect of Fusan culture which can be described as famous or infamous depending on who you ask, promiscuity. As part of the Golden Emperor's policies on increasing child birth rates after the Age of Strife, a complete change in fashion and soceity had ensued. Fusan fashion is famously known for its revealing looks while its laws about it is much more liberal and pubic displays of affection is a much more common event.

Religious and Other Beliefs:
Modern Fusans belive in the Imperial Cult, also known as Tengarashi which says the Imperial Family is descendant of gods and will rise to god hood upon death. Of course, the traditional religion of Inshingu is still practice in great numbers, being the foundation of Tengarashi. Inshingu is a polytheistic religion headed by the over-god Amaburi (that's literally what his title is). Think of real world Shintoism and you're basically there.

History:
The history of Fuso can be summed up as a violent one. In the early times, it was a land of several tribes who had all splintered off after the first ruler who brought them together died without an heir. Since then the tribes became clans which had fought a century before peace was once again restored. The people prospered and culture developed as a proud civilization grew. But, times got rough again. Mysterious droughts began to plagued the land for almost the entirety of the mid to late 1100, which would then continues to cause all sorts of food shortages and could suddenly turn to destructive floods for the next 600 years. People blamed the misfortunate them as acts of the Heavens showing the weakness of the current ruler. Despite being able to retain his position, the Emperor was loosing powers as more and more people began to have more faith in their local lords.

Then, in 1200, as the power of the Emperor waned, a three way feud between some clans erupted into a full scale civil war. A war that would go on almost endlessly for the next 500 years. With men dying off by the masses, women were eventually drafted into the military of the various lords to supplement manpower. This tradition would stay in effect even after unification as by the time the Age of Strife ended

It wasn't until the Saiyariharka Clan unified the lands under the golden bloom and Orisanio Shohu was crowned the First Golden Emperor. Orisanio quickly set about rebuilding the nation, taking the time to invite foreigners to develop and industrialize his country. Orisanio had enact policies like the Birthing Privileges Act which urged people to have more children, the Golden Crown Act that stabilized the national currency, and the Divine Iron Act which promoted rapid industrialization. Most of his ideas had been carried out with such great haste and efficiency, people overlooked the nepotism in his court and so of just decided it was only natural.

Now, Orisanio, enshrined as the Golden Emperor of Glory, has passed his leadership through the generations where it now lands on the Emperor Tananao Shohu. Stressing the traditional values built in the 500 year's war or "Age of Strife", the new Emperor Shohu looks to the horizon to live up to his great grandfather's legacy.


Territories:

Claims are in dark green with colonial holdings in paler green

Cities, Bases, etc.:

The capital city of the Empire is the Imperial Palace, otherwise known as "Satatsuma". Its an epic complex which has become a full blown city in the years since its creation.

Climate:
Being so far up north, its not surprise that Fuso is cold, its seasons being varying shades of cold from "nippy", to "freezing" to "holy shit the air is freezing". Of course, the native people have no qualms about it, they're used to it and find it actually pretty comfortable. The summer and spring are of course warmer, enough to encourage people to go out and farmer to plant crops.

Agriculture:

Being a nation of islands and oceans, Fuso uses both terrance farming and newer "Ocean Gardens", floating farms attached to land. Ocean Gardens are either small things that can float or grand man made islands.

Crops wise, the nation produces great quantities of Snow Rice which are able to grow in the cold climates well. Sparse amounts of barely and slightly larger amounts of wheat are also grown, but are considered a premium, nobleman's food while rice is seen as the staple food for everyone. Eaten with the staple rice are meats like fish, cow and goat along with a variety of vegetables as crisp and fresh as mountain ice. Of these, Fusan Kusa goat meat and Tachima mountain herbs are considered the iconic expensive food, like truffles or wagu beef. 

Industry:

Industrial might of Fuso can be said to origin from everywhere else in the world. After the Age of Strife, people had mostly been educated in old style war and the likes, no one really knew how the ways of machines truly worked. Machines are often copies of other nations which people have procured one way or another. Of the most common things manufactured are advanced mechanical parts and off shore oil well provide northern oil to be refined.

Despite having a large industrial base, it is the entertainment industry which can be considered the most prosperous. An expected result of traditional theater and modern police cameras, Fusan movie stars are world famous as are the directors and producers which craft movies. Movies about the Age of Strife are currently the most popular, having a action packed adventures while stressing core cultural concepts about honor and vigilance.
 
Put in the same category is the arts of old times, everything from traditional wood block and ink to modern comics and costumes are considered hugely successful business ventures. There is also the (in)famous Fuso adult entrainment industry whose content ranges from adorably attractive to strangely kinky to "how the fuck is this allowed?".

As one would imagine, propaganda is spread through all these mediums in some way or form. 

Main Imports:
Minerals and Ores, technology, machinery, cars, cultural and historical relics

Main Exports:
Oil, pornentertainment, movies, metal, goats, refined food


The Empire's military is divided between the Imperial Army of Fuso (IAF) and the Imperial Navy of Fuso (IFN) with the Air Command (IAAC) divided between them. Appearance wise, they take after a very heavily western inspired uniform, although more elite troops and officers will have bits of traditional armor and swords are used in place of knives due to ancient tradition which lists knives as "dishonorable, hidden weapons" and a warrior should openly display what they plan to kill with. Another tradition that has still been going on is the use of females in the military, effectively doubling the nation's manpower.

Tier One Weapons
Basic weapons used by common troops and sometimes altered for civilian usage. By Imperial Decree, all weapons have to have the Imperial Chrysanthemum milled on the receiver, showing that it is the Emperor who owns the weapon and reminding the troops on who and what they should fight for.


Standard issue rifle of the military, the Type 99 is made by the Saiga Arms Company and is proudly boasted as "the best bolt action in the world", reloading using a 5 round internal clip, fed by stripper clips. The main feature of the Type 99 is the smooth, yet strong bolt, allowing trained soldiers to fire it faster than any other bolt action to date. Its often the poster boy weapon, seen in propaganda and recruitment drives as a symbol of Fuso's prowess with engineering these things.


A mass produced 40-round SMG with an insane rate of fire and simple mechanisms for fast production. Unfortunately, that's all it has going for it; the Type 101r has okay accuracy, poor muzzle velocity and range and little killing or stoping power. However, its still in use as a tactical option, allowing troops to pin down and suppress without the need of a machine gun. Comes with a folding stock in most cases or no stock at all.


A high-powered, long barreled rifle, the Type 38 was once the Empire's standard battle rifle before opting for a new, shorter and overall better Type 99 rifle. Despite being replaced, the Type 38 still boasts higher muzzle velocity and accuracy, thus being a trademark favorite of marksmen and snipers alike.


A light machine gun meant for squad support, the Type 96 currently uses a top mounted 30-round clip, although older models might still use the top mount disc-shaped magazines. Utilizes the same rounds as the Type 99 Saiga and provides a reliable hail of bullets to support and suppress. Air cooled and accurate, its a favorite of troops who call it "Nesei" in reference to its name.


More famously known as the Hand Mortar, the Type 89 is a hugely successful grenade discharger, well suited for close-in infantry fighting and even effective against armor should the situation be met. Its optimized to give infantry fire support if there is no local artillery battery or mortar team at the ready. Although it has specialized shells, it can fire just about any grenade with great effectiveness assuming the operator times it right and doesn't kill themselves


Tier Two Weapons
More advanced, experimental weapons used by only the Empire's finest. These often represent the pinnacle of Fuso's engineering and gunsmithing, and some of their most original pieces. Many of these are in the hands of officers or elite troops.



A true and proper SMG meant for rapid fire death dealing, while more complicated than the 101r, its better than it in almost every way. Slight decreased fire rate for more accurate shots at its improved range (which can now effective kill too). It also uses a slightly larger caliber than that found in the 101r, making deadlier but a bit harder to supply.


A high powered AT-rifle, the OSU-4 fires out what's basically a giant metal spike at incredible speeds to penetrate through armor, relying on the skill of the shooter to hit crew or ammunition of tanks. While some officer distain the weapon for its crudeness, pragmatic soldiers are able to take out otherwise dangerous armored vehicles with clean shots.


A water cooled, automatic rifle used by only the strongest of troops, the Type 9x96 is unique to say the least. Undoubtedly heavy and fairly unwieldy, the Type 9-96 shines its its pure stopping power and surprisingly small amount of recoil. Its not uncommon for soldiers to strap multiple 9x96's to a rack and use them collectively as an AA gun.


A powerful machine gun commonly found on vehicles, defensive positions and strong soldiers, the Type 34m is the standard heavy machine gun of the empire. Its actually based on a aircraft machine gun, downsized to infantry standards. It uses a high powered round, letting it shred through flesh and light armor.


Meaning "Divine Guardsmen", the Type 4k is a by far the most unique weapon in the arsenal of the empire and dangerous. Closely guarded and in prototype phase, the Kami Eihei is more of platform for various weapons. Its standard model is a heavy machine gun and the giant sword (yes, its used as a sword), but it can also fit an auto cannon, a mortar or an experimental rocket launcher. Made light through the use aircraft grade alloy, these things are only available to the most distinguished of troops (don't ask how they use them since they don't really understand how it works either).


Infantry

The backbone of any army, Fuso's infantry is the same way but with its own differences. Infantry divisions still follow traditions, more than any other brach. Soldiers are expected to fight to the death and some do exactly that. Its said that they are less disciplined but have such high moral that they don't need it. While it does cause some to do stupid things to try and gain fame and honor to their name, generations of fighting and Imperial reverence keeps more of them in line to try and impress his highness. 

      		Male Uniform   	      Female Uniform

Standard foot infantry of the IFA, they for the basic unit of the military. They go through basic training before picking a specialization four months into their six month training. Well trained and drilled and very motivated, they fight with bravery and honor. At the signal of their officers, they can execute a zealous charge into enemy lines with their katanas. While some laugh at this practice, calling it suicide, it remains a core part of infantry tactics and is still very effective at closing gaps. 

They are generally armed with tier 1 weaponry, most often the Type 99. Should they go for a specialization, they'll use that weapon instead.

		Male Uniform

Elite soldiers of the IFA, many of these men and women trace their lineages back to nobility or heroic warrior families. To them, the battlefield is not hell, it is a proving ground. They are even more motivated than standard troops, going into a fight seeking an honorable, glorious death, believing that once they die they can serve the Emperors of the past in the afterlife. Trained for nearly a year, they are the premiere combat troop of Fuso.

					Female Uniform

Officers of the IFA, the term Kahari is more of an umbrella term, encompassing anyone who is not a soldier. These people range from the logistics corps, medical corps, hospitality corps, command corps, etc. but are most often used for officers of the command corps. They can be of any birth or walk of life as long as they have served valiantly and go through the officer academy. The Haiyagaru are lead by their own special Kahari called Haiyahari who must be of noble birth. They typically fight with tier one weapons and use a special spear to command troops called the Reyie.

										Female Keishu Agent (?)

The special forces of the Empire and looked down upon with great distain, they are the black shadow which follows the Emperor's glorious light. Despite being a military unit, they aren't trained by the army, instead trained by previous generations of Keishu and hired to the army as PMC-like troops. Whatever is considered dishonorable or shady by Fuso's book, there's a good chance the Keishu will be the ones doing it as they are both special forces and spies. Only the top brass know anything of them and even then, the Keishu are known to lie to all but the emperor himself of which they remain intensely loyal to.

		Female Arashi Kami Recruit in training

The elite high flying soldiers of the Empire, their name means "Divine Storm". Flying with Avalian Stirker units, modified with Fusan engineering, they are armed with auto cannons, machine guns and swords to fight against airships and aircraft, often by getting close and using swords or explosives. As crazy as it might seem, this works exceptionally well as their small profile generally means its much harder to hit with normal AA. They can either be launched from ballista-like contraptions to drops from an airplane. Alternatively, they also double as paratroopers, replacing the Strikers with gliders.

		
If the Arashi Kami can be considered the glorious elite of the military, the Kamikaze are on the exact opposite of the spectrum. Plan and simple, they are suicide bombers, made up of people with mental or extreme unsavory physical deformities, criminals, and sometimes rebels or POW (it should be note that in most cases, POWs are treated well in accordance with military traditions). These people are either brainwashed or "convinced" that what they are doing is for the good of everyone and is clearly the darkest moral stain on Fuso's military, but its a widely accepted practice as nothing is a more accurate anti tank weapon than something that can run straight at it.

		Male Uniform 					Female Uniform

Personal guards and agents of the Emperor, the Inshin-shishi are picked from the most elite, distinguished Haiyagaru, their training and combat prowess are second to none. Like the other parts of the army, they serve a wide variety of purposes from the foremost guarding of the Imperial Family and officials, to preaching the glory of the emperor and rooting out heretical thoughts, to even acting as diplomats if the time calls for it. It should be noted that they leave the assassination of others to the Keishu


Vehicles

If its one thing that Fuso sucks at, its vehicles. They make decent trucks and their half tracks are up to scratch, but their domestic armor is a joke. Literally, instead of writing an F on a student's essay, some teachers write the word for "tank" instead. Still, what Fuso does make isn't half bad, just don't expect anything other than foreign built tanks or copies in their ranks.


While less like a single truck and more like a series of trucks with small modifications based on an original truck, the Ho-Wu fills the need of just about anything not directly related to combat. It has and armored cab to protect against small arms and some have caged or metal plates over the glass for more protection. All models have a machine gun mounted on a ring on top of the cab for protection. It can be a tractor, a troop transport, an ammunition carrier, a supply truck and an ambulance.

A newer model meant to replace the older Ho-Wu trucks but instead have gone on to serve next to them, the Ho-Nao is a full-tracked vehicle that can hold 16 men or roughly two squads. It has a small machine gun turret as a defense but good armor. Its also used as an ambulance, engineer vehicle, artillery tractor, recovery vehicle supply carrier.


Mechs



Small, fast two legged walkers, the Ren-Sho is considered to be the evolution of cavalry from times of old. Armed with auto-cannons or machine guns, riders valiantly charge into battle supporting infantry, often executing flanking attacks. Along with their modern equipment, riders are also given lances and halberds to support charging troops and to keep pesky idiots with grenades away.


Basically a foreign half track, copied and replaced with legs instead of wheels, the Ren-Tang has the advantage of being able to both carry more and also not worry quite as much as trucks do in rough weather. Despite being built as a transport, the Ren-Tang sees more use as a mobile gun platform, this model carry an AT gun.


Affectionately dubbed the "Spindly Little Bastard", the Ren-Hu is a small four-legged walker with a 155mm gun on it. Not the most stable, fast or even safest thing, its gun is its greatest assest, blowing away things that would other wise say the Spindly Little Bastard is just a Little Bastard. It gets the spindly part of its nickname from the fact that moving its turret while walking it can cause it to spin around, making the entire craft stumble around.

						Female in a Type 0 in Mountain Camo w/ a Hari Lancer Unit as melee

Reserved for only the most dedicated and loyal soldiers, the Ren-Garu is a form of exoskeleton mech suit of prototype levels. Despite being a land based walker, its origin is traced to the Striker units of the Arashi Kami. The suit is armed with a deadly 124mm main cannon, leg mounted machine guns and a hand or melee weapon of sorts (often swords). The people in these suits often have more authority than officers due to their badges which they proud boast of.
