The month is December and the peace treaty between the Ruthenian Empire and the Yamato Empire has been ratified and taken into effect. The Yamato citizens who were affected by the war protested the harsh terms imposed on their country ever since it opened to the world.
Some of the citizens were angered by their decision of surrendering too early in the month as their last war with the Ruthenia Empire lasted in the year. The Yamato Empire government, with their new Prime Minister, declared martial law in the country to control the civil unrest.
The Emperor of the Yamato Empire apologized for the conspiracy of his ministers and handed voluntarily those involves, including Shinzo Sakawa, who was reported to be committing suicide when the police entered his residence. Fortunately, he was stopped by the police and taken into custody.
