VOLUME 1, Part 1: State Recognition Arc | Prologue

Japan has been transported by a supernatural phenomenon to a huge circular mountain range with a diameter of 4.000 kilometers. Completely cut off from the sea, Japan is no longer a maritime nation and is completely isolated from the United States and other countries.

The planet to which Japan has moved is much larger than the Earth, with artificial satellites, television broadcasting, and a flourishing modern civilization with nation-states, military, and an organization equivalent to the United Nations. The circular mountain range to which Japan had moved was also the territory of a country called Illyharan, which Japan had unwillingly invaded.

The people living on this planet were mysteriously able to fly in the air and were researching and developing vehicles that would allow them to fly. The country who owned the circular mountains, Illyharan, dispatched a flying army, and Japan also ran on the ground to investigate the alien planet. When they first came face to face with the aliens, whom they both believed to be from outer space, would they greet each other by pointing guns at each other or by talking? If there is no disparity in civilization, how will Japan, Illyharan, and the society of this planet react?

The only thing we know is that Japan, appearing as an alien nation, would first lose if it tried to fight. The only way to survive is to win without fighting. The diplomatic battle for the survival of the nation, in which everything is explored, is about to begin.
