The world of Giappone is a Civilized World/Fortress World whose allegiance is to the Blood Dragons. The world of Giappone was actually the center of it's own Petty Imperium before the Blood Dragons came to the rescue of the Sub-Sector at the behest of then Lord Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Tokugawa Clan. The entire sub-sector had been hit hard by Orks in a WAAAGH that the Sub-Sector survived through sheet brilliance, willpower, and the fact that the Ork Warlord was defeated by Lord Ieyashu himself in singles combat. However Ork Freebootah's were beginning to take asteroids as there own and overran the sub-sectors meager fleet with hit and run tactics that left the the merchant convoys of the sub-sector devastated and Giappone's reputation as fearsome defenders in question.
Swallowing his pride Lord Ieyashu would pledge his whole sub-sector to the Blood Dragons in exchange for the destruction of the Orks which the Blood Dragons did all too happily in order to take such a greater amount of territory. The Sub-Sector would never again pay tribute to Giappone which had helped make it so prosperous but it would fix the damage done and increase the prosperity in the region.
Giappone for it's part began to change slightly as it changed from an economy geared for protecting it's vassal states (The other planets) and forced to become more self-sufficient. It's chief export are metals but it also boasts a notable increase in cultural items and trade goods.
Giapponese are divided into one of five sects. First are the Gangii or those who seek to migrate to Giappone for a new life. Second are the Minkan or Civilians. These are the largest part of Giappone society making up 70% and can be seen working anywhere from a university, a temple, or really anything. Minkan can be soldiers and many do serve in the PDF or Blood Dragons Guard but are still considered civilians because of there birth. Third are the warriors or Senshi who make up around 15 to 20 percent of the population. What makes the Sinkan special is that they are trained from birth to becoming soldiers and are put through extensive amounts of training from the day they are able to which is usually 4. Sinkan serve as Champions, Sergeants, and sometimes even Generals depending on the situation. Fifth there are the nobles or Kizoku's who make up 10 to 15 percent of the population. Kizoku's are similar to Sinkan in that many are trained from birth but depending on the decision of there Clan Head they may become a General or Admiral or a member of the Adminatorium. A select few Kizoku are sent to the Gikai in the Capital city as advisers to the Lord Shogun who will live a life of political intrigue as they battle each other for the power to forge policies for the world. Finally of small note is the underworld of Giappone which seems to also be not legal but tolerated in a way. Apparently the Underworld of Crime in Giappone is run by a planetary wide organization called the Yakutza who themselves will recruit many Minkan and even Gangii in exchange for money. They operate in a much more respectful code that refuses to kill a Minkan unless absolutely needed as well as other rules. Any member breaking these rules will have there thumb chopped off, sodered, and kicked out of the Yakutza. The Yakutza itself is made up of different crime families, associations, and crews which makes the Yakutza more of a loose network that follows the previously mentioned rules rigidly but what the rules are differ from gang to gang.
In meeting the Lord Shogun I walk away with the idea knowing that we have a very aggressive neighbor next to us. Should tensions or a war breakout we can expect a driven fight from the Giapponese and it's leadership. Thankfully Ieashu is also a sensible man and has promised to convert to the Imperial Truth upon meeting with Saint Lin himself in a previous meeting. He has also promised that his people will also 'Bow in the Morning to the True Emperor and his Mandate' as a sign of devotion and allegiance to truth and honesty.
