It was the dawn of a new millennium-1999, the threshold of the 21st century. Fireworks lit the sky, celebrations echoed through the streets, and Japan stood on the precipice of an era defined by globalization and technological progress. Then, without warning, the world as they knew it ceased to exist.A cataclysmic earthquake tore through the archipelago, shaking the very foundations of the nation. Moments later, all communication with the outside world went silent. Panic spread as radar screens across the country flickered, their displays shifting from the familiar to the impossible-Asia, the largest continent on Earth, had vanished. Every known landmass surrounding Japan was simply... gone. In their place, the endless expanse of the Pacific stretched further than it ever should have. Yet, to the east, where there should have been nothing but open ocean, a new, uncharted continent emerged from the void. Vast, foreign, and utterly unknown, its presence defied logic.Was this an experiment gone wrong? Was this some bixzare trick? Perhaps a glitch in the systems?With the tides of globalization once threatening to pull Japan into obscurity, the country now faced an even greater existential crisis. It fell upon Prime Minister Shinji Hashimoto and his administration to navigate this unprecedented upheaval. Their nation stood at a crossroads, forced to confront not only the mysteries of this strange new reality but also the internal struggles that had long simmered beneath the surface.Inspired by みのろう's Summoning Japan (Nihonkoku Shoukan, NHS), this is a fan-made exploration of a different world-one where Japan, now isolated yet unshackled, must forge its own path. As the first light of a new dawn illuminates the foreign land before them, Japan gazes upon the Golden horizon-not just as a breathtaking spectacle, but as a symbol of both hope and uncertainty. What lies beyond? Opportunity or ruin? Only time will tell.…

United States satellites captured the anomaly first, their images revealing an inexplicable void where the islands of Japan had once been. News spread quickly, sparking panic and speculation as the world's powers scrambled to investigate the mystery of Japan's disappearance.Meanwhile, on the other side of the phenomenon, Japan itself was plunged into a blackout that lasted for hours-maybe even days. When power finally returned, officials expected to find everything as it was. But the view from Japan's own satellites told a different story.The Japanese archipelago was now alone, surrounded by unfamiliar waters. To the west stretched an endless ocean; to the east, an unknown continent loomed a thousand kilometers away. Closer still lay a smaller island, just 750 miles off the coast. The familiar shores of East Asia were nowhere to be seen-only the strange, alien landscape of a new world.Cut off from Earth and facing the unknown, the Japanese Empire must adapt to this mysterious land, a place of potential allies, powerful foes, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.
