Lore:
In autumn of 1945, the war was supposed to be over for Japan. However, history almost took a different turn. The Soviets were days away from staging their own invasion of Japan, a plan cut short only by the country's unconditional surrender to the Americans.

In this alternate timeline, a red star blasts away the rising sun that once loomed over Hokkaido. The "Democratic Republic of Ezo" has been established in the north, while the rest of Japan remains under American influence. Although the Western powers refuse to recognize a partitioned Japan, the Cold War reality has settled across the archipelago. The Tsugaru Strait has become another frontline between the Socialist and American spheres of influence—an eastern extension of the Bamboo Curtain that stretches from China far into the Pacific.
How will this divided Japan reshape global politics as Cold War tensions escalate? Can Hokkaido provide their Soviet handlers with strategic advantages in this worldwide ideological conflict? And perhaps most importantly for the Japanese people: will their nation ever be reunified?

Ancestors' graves watched
Strange eyes police our whispers
Soil no longer ours
