 * Wars and Conflicts (italics: Potential War):
 * N.A
 * Army [recruitment halted for coronation of the new Emperor]
 * Horses [15,000]: Modest steeds trained to gallop across the rough and uneven terrain of Nihon's islands. They can also be employed for charging out of boats onto land, although that kind of situation is comparably rarer.
 * General infantry [60,000]: Rudimentarily trained infantry with a general focus on close-ranged melee and shortrange bow combat. Second priority for usage of battering rams and other siege equipment, usually assisting other infantry and auxillaries with tasks.
 * Irregular infantry [66,000]: Infantry-in-training as well as part-time infantry that does not serve for lifetime employment. Mostly the former. First priority for handling of siege equipment.
 * Support staff [15,000]:  Infantry serving in entirely logistical roles. Equipped with extreme short range equipment such as daggers for self-defence, the bulk of many impromptu convoys.
 * Auxillary infantry [15,000]: Long-range bowmen and combat medics. Heavily trained, many chosen to be officers upon promotion in the field.
 * Irregular auxillaries [29,000]: Often merchants and mercenaries serving the same role as auxillary infantry, auxillaries-in-training or officers serving in combat.
 * Highest-ranking generals:
 * Taisho Kanzaki (Kanzaki Izuku): in charge of the First Expeditionary Force, land-based cavalry division [on mission]
 * Takahashi Aya: in charge of the Second and Third Defence Forces, land-based mixed infantry and auxillary divisions
 * Navy:
 * Kawataro-fune [53]: An armoured slow-moving battleship which covers the deck in metal plating and a layer of steel behind the caravel structure to give it a special amount of versatility. If it is sinking, it can last for enough hours to bring it back to shore or at least into a kamikaze attack.
 * Hayai-fune [30]: A restored line of lightly-armoured battleships designed to quickly board another ship before sinking it. Incredibly fragile.
 * Supply ships [152]: Unarmoured fast-moving cargo ships as well as heavy lightly-armoured supply ships. The former used to resupply close to land; the latter used to carry along supplies on longer, no-docking expeditions.
 * Irregular converteds [12]: Various ships with various amounts of armour and what not attached on; mostly former Kei-fune and and Hayai-fune and cargo ships. Heavily personalised, often used as fleet commander ships.
 * 39,000 sailors: close-quarters trained, basic infantry training and ship training
 * Admirals:
 * Ayanagi Mitsuru: In charge of the First Expeditionary Fleet [until 1478 retirement]
 * Koyanagi Touko: in charge of the First Fleet (formerly the 1st Expeditionary)
 * Matsudaira Keiko: In charge of the Second and Third Fleets, spontaneous attack fleets
 * Diplomacy: 
 * N-A
 * Events:
 * The Greatest General [8]: Kanzaki has apparently discovered a knack for surviving unsurvivable odds; managing to get out of the Khasghar siege of Almaty with few wounds and some things to his name - his two books, an old katana and gold scavenged from the surrounding homes, making him surprisingly rich. His focus in old age, however, has changed in his last years, accepting that he will be seen as obscure and deciding to at least make life better for a few people. This leads him to take pity on a family in Almaty that has lost most of its finances, choosing to pay for a decent plot of land nearer to the centre of the city for them while he takes up a small nondescript hut on the outside. He continues writing, however, using it as a kind of mechanism to stave off his wracked-up insecurity, the two books of his finally diverging: the Theory of Strategy reflecting much of his early beliefs as well as being wholly devoted to the mechanics of war, while Truth of Strategy is an autobiographical piece with some elements from the original compilation that generally denigrates the entire idea of conflict in its entirety.

The family, thankful for his aid, allows the man they only know as 'Mr. Izuku' to ramble on and on about how the siege could have been ended with barely a few hundred horsemen, condemining the chronic incompetence of the Chagatai forces. 'To think this is where the Conqueror left a mark', he laments. While making minor addendums one night, the family's young girl walks out to go check on him, discovering both of his works. More than happy to let her see his rambling writings, a spark of genius tempered by impotent rage in his earlier years, he hasn't the slightest idea what the near-infant child sees in his work.
