Chapter 26: Chapter 26 – Aftermath of the War

"After the end of World War III, one Era came to an end. And Era of Supernations and magical advancement started." - Unknown Person, the Year 2065

One year later, in January of the Year 2065, World War III finally ended. The war conflict exactly took 20 years. During these twenty years, the world changed so much that it was almost unrecognizable.

Be its establishment of the International Magic Association, which purpose was to prevent the pollution of the Earth beyond what it could recover from through the use of radioactive and nuclear materials used in weapons of mass destruction. Or be it Bloody Fall of Dahan in the Year 2062, where Dahan was brought to its knees after huge slaughter by Yotsuba Clan.

The world population in the year 2045, when the world war started, was approximately 9 billion. Right now, on the new year's eve of the year 2065, the population dropped to somewhat under 2,8 billion, which was an extremely significant drop in the world population.

Geographically the world changed even more. First thing, the Japan Imperial Hierarchy now consisted of the territory of original Japan before the end of the war but also obtained Taiwan Island, which was taken from Dahan, Okinawa Island from USNA, and Karafuto Prefecture, which was a huge island bordering New Soviet Union.

These acts exponentially expanded the country's territory, which desperately needed it, as their casualties of the population were abysmal compared to the rest of the countries, as on their territory, no fights were waged.

Great Asian Union absorbed Dahan, and after some time, they also absorbed Mongolia, Bruma, Laos, Vietnam, and the Korean Peninsula and became officially known as the Great Asian Alliance.

New Soviet Union absorbed Ukraine, Belarus, and several minor countries and created a superpower in the world. Similarly, USNA was created by the USA and Canada, forming one state and subsequently absorbing Mexico, Panama, and Caribean countries.

Indo-Persian Federation was created by devouring various countries in Central Asia: Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and South Asia: Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

In Europe, the European Union was dissolved. At the same time, Germany created its own german nation while also absorbing Denmark, Austria, and the Czech Republic. France created its own block. Britain remained neutral, though they attacked and absorbed Ireland, which became once again part of the United Kingdom.

Three northern countries, namely Finland, Sweden, and Norway, fused together and created a federative monarchy ruled jointly but a council of two kings of Sweden and Norway and the president of Finland.

More than half of the African countries were dissolved, and the majority of Africa turned into a wasteland. Some local warlords started learning battles among themselves in a few territories to create a new nation. A similar thing happened in South America, where aside from Brazil, South America is divided into small countries where governments do not have much reach beyond their own borders.

In Japan Imperial Hierarchy, many changes have happened throughout the year. Officially the Imperial Japanese Army was established, as the successor of the National Defense Forces, with several branches. Namely: Imperial Japanese Military, Imperial Japanese Navy, Imperial Japanese Air Force, Imperial Magician Corps, Imperial Enforcement Guard.

Imperial Japanese Military were basically the ground troops, nothing more and nothing less; they, of course, included mechanical brigades with magical machinery and modern magic weapons. Imperial Japanese Navy was a fleet of Japan that returned to the hegemony of the pacific after the destruction of Pearl Harbor after the USNA withdrew most of its forces from the pacific ocean.

And thus, the war that took 20 years to end was now part of history. Peace came, but tensions and grudges between countries were still there, and some were just waiting for an opportunity to strike and start a war anew.

In the spring of the year 2068, Yotsuba Village.

The size of the Yotsuba village increased significantly as Yotsuba Clan continued to improve its foundation in the country. The first thing they did, aside from adopting talented magical orphans, was the recruitment of various reclusive hermits in martial arts or ancient magic users.

As Patriarch of the Yotsuba Clan was also General of the Imperial Enforcement Guard, which was a collection of strongest magicians across Japan, that acted as counter-terrorist units, guarded most important places across Japan, or enforced laws when necessary.

Slowly, even works on the Clan Castle were starting, and fortifications of the Valley were also in the process. Works started last year; one weak point, which was the entrance to the Valley, was reforged and reworked as to be an impregnable fortress.

It has been three years till the end of World War III. Many things have changed from times of war. While in some countries, civil unrest is now like in the Great Asian Alliance, apparently, they find it extremely hard to recover after the Bloody Fall of Dahan.

Yotsuba Clan, together with the Military, practically destroyed the magical foundation of the entire country, which will stagnate the development of the Great Asian Alliance for the next decades.

Countries such as USNA or some European giants we're stabilizing the situation.

Africa turned into a war ground as various Warlords started leading their warbands and territories to battle each other, turning the entire continent into one huge battlefield. What didn't help was the fact that USNA and Japan actively started raiding some weaker countries there for rare magical resources.

Only two countries in the world had a good situation, and that was U.S.N.A. and Japan Imperial Hierarchy, though Hierarchy was in a better situation as they didn't suffer many losses during the war compared to the U.S.N.A.

Among things that changed was also that Yotsuba Maya was declared the Heir of the Yotsuba Clan, and Magus Killer Emyia Kiritsugu was announced as her fianceé. It was clear that with their wedding in the future, Yotsuba Clan would gain another Strategic-Order Magician.

Currently, deep within the Sakura Valley, which was the name of the Valley deep within the mountain range where the ancestral home of the Yotsuba Clan was located, Kiritsugu was drinking tea with his future father-in-law Yotsuba Genzou.
