The Great Japanese Shōgunate (Nipponese: 大日本幕府 or Dai Nippon Bakufu) is East Asia's most technological autocratic theocracy. Of primary importance to Japan is an archipelago east of the mainland on which the modern royal dynasty formed in the 8th century CE. One race and culture has dominated these isles for the last 12,000 years - they are known locally together as the Nipponese. Strict immigration restrictions and xenophobia have made Japan one of the most ethnically homogenous states on the planet, with less ethnic tension than more diverse countries like the Maya.

| - The Great Japanese Shōgunate (Nipponese: 大日本幕府 or Dai Nippon Bakufu) is East Asia's most technological autocratic theocracy. Of primary importance to Japan is an archipelago east of the mainland on which the modern royal dynasty formed in the 8th century CE. One race and culture has dominated these isles for the last 12,000 years - they are known locally together as the Nipponese. Strict immigration restrictions and xenophobia have made Japan one of the most ethnically homogenous states on the planet, with less ethnic tension than more diverse countries like the Maya. Once a loose collection of feudal states, Japan came under the dominion of Oda Nobunaga in 1577 CE. The Great Shōgun's successors, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, subjugated the remaining fiefdoms. Afterward, the latter accepted the title, Heavenly Sovereign, and became sole ruler in 1605. Perhaps the smallest sovereign state by area, Japan boasts the fourth largest population. By that combination, it is easily the most densely populated region that ever existed. Sustaining this unnatural situation is efficiency on a national scale unlike anywhere in the world. As the only unconquered territory in the world, Japan is a source of pride for its people, giving them a sense of invincibility as a whole. This sentiment is not merely historically valid but also sound. Japan's natural and military defenses render it the most secure state on Earth.
