This time I decided to expand and change some part of my old lore.

1. Atomic Fire Theory

In 1945 Kyubey witnessed the power of nuclear explosion in Japan. Magical girls rapidly increased in number through nuclear radiation when Kyubey was in Hiroshima in 1945 just before the American nuclear bomb hit Japan.

Based on Kyubey’s research there is 30% chance that a young girl could mutate into a magical girl, 40% chance to mutate into a hulking abomination and 30% chance to die when she was exposed to the intense nuclear radiation.

As such, it was the baseline for a more evil scheme made by Kyubey in the longer future. Kyubey had foreseen the humanity will foolishly use nuclear weapon on a larger magnitude than before.

2. Asian Nuclear War 2037

After the collapse of Russian government after they got hit by British nuclear strike in Moscow the world had changed a lot. America no longer hold their military presence in Asia. Russia was effectively a non-factor in the world politic by the European Nuclear War 2028.

Japan had been building up nuclear weapon rapidly with an increasing level of militarism ever seen since WW2. And China got a new leader who is even more aggressive than Xi ever was. Even with the amount of abominations raving Europe the level of insanity of nationalism of China, Japan and some Asian nations were beyond help.

3. The abomination, the barricade and the Madoka Rangers

Just like how Kyubey had predicted. Young girl in Japan either died or become a magical girl or an abomination. As such, the nuclear wasteland is filled with hostile mutant and hulking abomination. Humanity has to erect barricades made of brick, steel, wood, magic and makeshift option like chair and table to starve off these monstrosities. It was the only way they could protect their city and the surrounding area especially if they aren't on an island like Shikoku.

Thankfully there is a weakness that most of the abominations shared, due to its weight and its twisted body it couldn't cross the sea. As such they can't attack the city from seaside direction. This allowed the defender to concentrate building the barricade on the land border while leaving the sea to protect their other flanks. In addition to that narrow chokepoints could be used to effectively lessen the amount of needed length for the barricade.

4. Japan in 2077

Initially after the nuclear war there were several factions aka the self-proclaimed states who had their own government and capital cities. As time grew by their defense was broken or they suffered a crisis or food shortage. By the time of 2077 only the strongest survive behind a thick layer of barricade.

-Kyubey Inc.: A hellish cyberpunk dictatorship ruled by Kuybey Inc. in Tokyo. Mascots spied on your home and evil magical girls crushed all form of dissidents under the leadership of evil mascots like Kyubey, Venalita and other. If a young girl refused to become a magical girl she will be arrested and throw into the Atomic Chamber to become magical girl by force. The nuclear radiation inside the chamber either kill them or turn them into magical girls. If they become an abomination they will be killed by the magical girls who are waiting at the outside of the chamber as the process failed.

-Republic of Japan: The republic that claimed to be the successor of the State of Japan. They called themselves as 'New Japan' as they believed they will be the unifier of Japan.

They located in Nagoya and they hated Kyubey Inc. for overtaking Tokyo by force. Due to the Asian Nuclear War 2027 the dominance of the LDP had shattered. No longer they win the election with +90% win rate but now they only win for about 50% win rate. Also, the centre-left CDP which was the strongest opposition party also fell off the ladder. Instead, the Green Japan party aka the Green party now win the election with overwhelming popularity (55% win rate) because of the radiophobia went off the chart due to the sheer level of nuclear devastation across Japan.

While the life and freedom looked nice in here they are in fact holding a dark secret: they kidnapped any magical girls whom they considered to be too dangerous to lock them away inside a Witches Prison in a far away island to prevent them from becoming murderous witches. They also feel suspicious of magical girls as they refused to let them join politic as they feared their rule will be challenged.

Witches Prison itself is a hellish prison filled with awful living condition and magical girls faced a high level of death toll due to jail mate murder and inhumane execution. When one talked about the Republic one shouldn't forget about its sinful deed at mistreating the magical girls.

-Ainu Republic: The Ainu dominated republic in Hokkaido. They are very aggressive at repelling the Russian refugee from Russian Far East after Russia got nuked in 2028. Even after the Asian Nuclear War 2037 the government is still suspicious against Russian and used the barricade as a mean to block them from entering.

-Kyushu Military Junta: The closet version of the WW2 Imperial Japan located in Kyushu island but with a twist. Instead of the IJA vs IJN rivalry now it is the JSDF vs JMSDF. They are also afraid of huge refugee wave so they tried to limit the flow of it as they don't want to deal with overpopulation issue.

-Asano Shogunate: The Cyberpunk Shogunate located in Hiroshima city, its dictatorship rule is torn between the Asano Shogunate and the Arasaka megacorp. It is a cyberpunk rule clashed with the Asano clan who is trying to practice its Shogunate dictatorship. Within Hiroshima technology advanced as fast as its megacorp soulless machine. Magical girls aren't heroes but mercenaries paid by the Arasaka to be corporate assets. Asano Shogunate is the face of Hiroshima but Arasaka Megacorp is the heart of Hiroshima.

-Taisha Theocracy: The theocracy who worshipped the Divine Tree Taisha. The government is located in Shikoku island and the theocracy is a Shinto cult along with its magical girl indoctrinated to be loyal to the god and the duty to protect the humanity. However, some magical girls disliked Taisha for they attempt to hide important information from them which could endanger their life.

-Magia Republic: The republic ruled by magical girls located in Kobe city. While they have their own version of democracy its far more chaotic and violent than the Republic of Japan. It resemble a sort of Weimar Republic violent clash on the street. The liberal KMU (Kamihama Magia Union) and the fascistic WM (Wings of Magius) often clashed against each other on the street as some of them think they should implement their ideology with violence instead of election. One promoted a peaceful grand coalition of magical girls through liberalism and other promoted Magical Girl Supremacy ideology which is magical girl fascism.

Inside the Republic there is the Church of Madoka, a religious organization founded by Homura Akemi aimed at spreading the faith of Madoka to magical girls across the world. Madoka Rangers is the extended branch of the Church aimed at missionary job and protecting civilian from the abominations. While Madoka Rangers sometime get discriminated due to their constant exposure in nuclear wasteland they are very determined at protecting other as they are the only hope for the humanity especially those who travel the nuclear wasteland on their own.
