Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/The Katsuragi Protectorate

The Katsuragi Protectorate are one of the eighteen core factions in Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict.

Description
(lore incomplete)

Unlike Yoshiro, Emperor Kamina tried to form a steady peace with the Guardians instead of only a cease-fire, which most the Guardians thankfully accepted, though the Empire and Cantha still hold a justifiable grudge for their actions done to them in the past, especially since the Protectorate pretends it never happened or heavily downplayed it. Since then, many changes have occurred in the Protectorate, as the insular island nation has opened up to foreign influences and has also begun to make its presence felt on the world market. This does not mean that the Protectorate has become pacifist, or given up on its dreams of a world-spanning Katsuragi Protectorate; the truth is quite different.

Emperor Kamina simply changed the agenda of the Protectorate military into a defense force, so that instead of acquiring more land the military defends the Protecotrate with its life. With the advice of Shogun Shinzo and under the leadership of young Kamina, the Protectorate will head into a new era of prosperity.

With the Guardians of the Tacitus on their side, a heavy exchange of culture and goods has begun. Household goods have become less expensive, television becomes more widespread, and western exotic clothes are becoming more common in the Protectorate. On the other hand, the Guardians become ever more heavily technologized, with the modern computer systems from the Protectorate, nanomachines reconstructing destroyed cities such as Ironforge, Fereldan and Orlais, and the overall way of Katsuragi life becoming increasingly famous in the western countries.

Only the stars know how the development of the world will continue on with this new relationship.

Arsenal

Nanocores
Instead of a construction yard or a standard builder unit to build structures, the Protectorate utilizes Nanocores, which can be constructed at the Construction Yard at any time as long as funds are available. Of course, the higher cores become available with the help of other structures.

Tiering Up
Most factions tier up by buying a alert level or build a tier-access structure such as the Battle Lab, the Protectorate is different, tiering up is done by through purchasing their Tier up access from their production structures.
