Feudal Japan (FJ) is an interventionist region with a mandate to protect small, often new regions that find themselves the victim of invaders (see the section below entitled Tenka Fubu). FJ also encourages role-play in the spirit of real-life Japan as it was during the middle ages.

FJ is presently open to new members, both casual and active. FJ requests member nations to adopt its feudalist flag style (narrow vertical, with appropriate colours befitting rank) and the koku as national currency, but these are not enforced requirements of admission.


Regional Map of Feudal Japan


Ranks for Member Nations

New Members (Jizamurai)

Nations newly arrived in Feudal Japan. Nations must reside in the region for at least two weeks (or one week with active forum activity) to be promoted to Ronin.

Casual Members (Ronin)

Nations are welcome to join Feudal Japan without participating in its RP aspect or its regional forum. They will receive the basic rank of 'ronin', a feudal Japanese warrior without recognized loyalties.

Active Members (Samurai)

Nations which register on the regional forum and play an active role in regional development will receive the rank of 'samurai' in recognition of their efforts. Samurai are feudal Japanese warriors who have pledged their loyalty to the Shogun (i.e. the region's founder).

Advanced Ranks (Daimyo)

Nations going beyond the call of duty, or who assume pre-eminent roles among the adminstrative nations of the region, will be awarded the rank of 'daimyo' - a Japanese feudal lord.

Bakufu

The Bakufu is where the Shogun makes announcements to the region.

Kodokan

The Kodokan is the home of the Gekokujo - Feudal Japan's army. Members assemble at the Kodokan to sign up, and/or to stay updated on military events.


Tenka Fubu

Tenka Fubu is an idea founded from experience with the failures of known defender regions, to lend Feudal Japan's aid to the regions of NationStates that request and require it. Small regions which are attempting to exist peacefully in relative solitude have been constantly ignored and/or forgotten in time of need. Invader regions constantly prey on these unprotected regions, causing serious harm to the nations that reside there. Wars between defenders and invaders may spill over and cause harm as they struggle for control. These situations are unacceptable.

With Tenka Fubu, the Shogun of Feudal Japan proposes to build an empire that works to protect these nations and their regions. Feudal Japan works to establish this empire through the following means:

Alliances

Alliances with smaller regions that will agree to joint military actions in defense of helpless regions. Current alliances are with the following regions:

Ryoguko

Dying regions, annexed directly into Tenka Fubu. Kokushus are placed in these provinces to rebuild and promote activity. All provincial member nations are awarded the same status and opportunity as those of Feudal Japan itself. Current Ryoguko regions are:

Kuni

Struggling regions taken on as protectorates. Joshu who wish to become Kokushu are given the opportunity to help stabilize these regions. Current Kuni regions are:
