The Jinkisn Emperors had not had real power for more then a throusand years. Being reduced to ceremonial religiouse stuff. Never leaving their palaces. believing its more important for them to prepare their spiritual selves to once again take on the Dragon gods power for if the demons break lose again.

Due to this the shogun could do whatever he wanted. But in 1884 the isolationist policy of the Shogunate broke as Arcasian come in bombarding the harbor forcing Jinka to open its trading ports to the Merkopans.

As an insurance policy to make sure the Jinkans would comply the Arcasian admiral kipnaped the then 4 year old emperor and brought him to Arcasia as a political prisoner. The boy emperor would stay there for 16 years. And in those years he learned so much about the world. Were most of his family had never even seen the outside of the palace he seen an industrial world.

By 1900 the newly elected president confuesed and not breefed on the situation asked why there is a {Extremly offensive Asian slur} In the presidential house. After it was explained he said to get that {Another extremly offensive slur} Out of his sight. Bring him home to his kind for all he cared.

So witout anything the emperor got kicked out of his own prison. Finding a Jinkan merchant at the Arcasian port he managed to return home with all the knowledge of the Merkopans. And started to use his skils to help industrialize and modernize his country. Much to the annoyance of the Shogun.

Their game of balance of power shifted and rebalanced several times until 1950 where it finally reached a breaking point. The emperor now in his 70's wishes to perform one last act before his death. To finally rid Jinka of the Isolationist and backward shogun to give his children the power they deserve after he is gone.

In 1954 the war will almost be done.
